Assessment
Identification
Open sources identify the Barnaul site as military unit 6515 at Kanatny Proezd 43A. Rosgvardiya’s official district history says the Siberian regional command became the Siberian District on 1 December 2016, matching the post-2016 command layer for this formation.

Historical role
A 2017 Altai regional parliament note says the formation began in 1956 as the 80th Separate Team in Barnaul, then became a convoy-guard formation later known as v/ch 6515. The same source says its original core task was guarding penal institutions, and that personnel later served in North Caucasus operations, including Chechnya from January 1995 to March 1997.

Administrative/logistics
Barnaul appears to be more than a ceremonial garrison site: a 2011 enterprise implementation case described v/ch 6515 as providing financial support to military formations. That supports treating the Barnaul location as an administrative/logistics node, although public sources reviewed do not fully expose its present internal structure.

Rubtsovsk element
The first placemark matches v/ch 6720 in Rubtsovsk. Official municipal sources describe it as a Rosgvardiya unit of the Siberian District, marked its 45th anniversary in April 2024, and show permanent support infrastructure via a dedicated boiler house at Bagrationa 9 with 6.9 Gcal/h installed and 6.55 Gcal/h net capacity.

Biysk element
The second placemark matches v/ch 3484 in Biysk. Biysk municipal sources marked the 65th anniversary of the 563rd National Guard regiment in October 2024, and city land-use documents plus registry-style records place v/ch 3484 on defense-and-security parcels in the Kutuzov/Prirechnaya area, with the address recorded as 65 Mikhaila Kutuzova Street.

Confidence and gaps
Taken together, the metadata is consistent with a dispersed Altai Krai Rosgvardiya formation centered on Barnaul and associated with regiment-sized sites in Rubtsovsk and Biysk. What I could not verify in authoritative current public sources is whether the exact contemporary formal title is still “82nd Separate Internal Troops Brigade,” or whether current Rosgvardiya documentation publicly shows v/ch 6720 and v/ch 3484 as formally subordinate to Barnaul’s v/ch 6515.
