Transport security in the structure of Russia’s national security: new modern challenges

Currently, Russian legislation on transport security issues is fragmented and has the form of a set of legal acts that require systematization. Responding to a public request, as well as executing the order of the President of the Russian Federation, the State Duma of the Russian Federation accepted for consideration the Draft Federal Law “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On the Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare of the Population”. Based on this document, it was planned to create conditions for the unhindered exercise of the legal rights to travel in transport for vaccinated persons, having immunity to the disease, as well as for those who legally cannot yet be vaccinated (minors, persons with medical contraindications). However, under public pressure, the draft bill was excluded from consideration, which is an extremely indiscreet decision, since as a result, public transport passengers were left unprotected from the spread of new strains of coronavirus. In order to ensure transport security, the legislator should return to the discussion of the analyzed draft bill as soon as possible, since the life and health of the population, in accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, is the highest value in the state.
