93rd Internal Troops Division
Identification
This record matches the 93rd Order of the Red Star Division of the Russian National Guard (Rosgvardiya), military unit 3273, headquartered in Ozersk, Chelyabinsk Oblast. Public registry entries place w/ch 3273 at 27 Kyshtymskaya Street in Ozersk, and Rosgvardiya-linked reporting describes the formation as an Ural-district division tasked with guarding important state objects and special cargoes.

Mission
Open sources consistently associate the division with protection of the closed nuclear cities of Ozersk, Snezhinsk, and Tryokhgorny and the sensitive state facilities located there. Ozersk is officially a closed administrative territory, and Rosatom reporting identifies PO Mayak in Ozersk as a major nuclear-fuel-cycle enterprise handling spent nuclear fuel and radioactive-waste activity, which explains the division’s enduring geographic importance.

Footprint
Historical order-of-battle material for the 93rd Division places w/ch 3445 and 3446 in Ozersk, w/ch 3468 in Snezhinsk, and w/ch 3448 in nearby Tatysh; local institutional histories likewise describe the division as covering Ozersk, Snezhinsk, and Tryokhgorny. Public confirmation of the exact present-day subordinate structure below division level is incomplete, so links to units such as w/ch 3442 in Tryokhgorny are plausible but not fully confirmed in open sources.

Water security
A distinctive element of this garrison is the 32nd Naval Detachment (w/ch 6777). Regional reporting states that it was formed in 2006-2007 by combining boat units in Ozersk and Snezhinsk; it patrols Lakes Irtyash, Sinara, and Silach, with a permanent base on Moskin Island on Lake Irtyash. This indicates a dedicated waterborne security layer for the lake approaches to the closed cities and nearby protected facilities.

Recent activity
Recent open reporting indicates continued investment in the division’s local security mission. Reporting published in February 2024 described Mayak personnel and Rosgvardiya servicemen installing new engineering and physical-protection systems on Lake Irtyash after the 2023 navigation season, and Rosgvardiya-linked coverage of the 2024 navigation period described readiness checks for the naval detachment before renewed protection of water approaches to atomic sites in Ozersk and Snezhinsk. The formation also publicly marked its 73rd anniversary in August 2024, confirming that the Ozersk-based division remains active.
