Federal Protective Service (FSO)
Identity
This record matches the Federal Protective Service of the Russian Federation in Moscow/Kremlin headquarters. An official FSO publication gives the service address as 109012, Moscow, Kremlin-9, and the FSO states that it is the federal executive body responsible for state protection, government communications, and information/IT support to the President, Government, and other state organs. As of March 2026, the official FSO site lists Army General Dmitry V. Kochnev as director and states that he was appointed by presidential decree on May 26, 2016.

Central Moscow footprint
Open FSO sources show the service's main protected footprint remains centered on the Moscow Kremlin. The FSO states that it protects the Kremlin, the burial sites by the Kremlin Wall, and Lenin's Mausoleum; the Service of the Commandant of the Moscow Kremlin, formed in 2004 within the FSO, includes the Kremlin commandant's office, Presidential Regiment, and Presidential Orchestra. FSO reporting through 2025 continued to place Presidential Regiment oath and guard ceremonies on Cathedral Square inside the Kremlin.

Energia node
The first placemark is credibly identified as the FSO's Center for Information Support Energia in Stupino, Moscow Oblast. Procurement records list ЦОИ Энергия ФСО России at 142800 Stupino, and a 2025 appellate ruling refers to military unit 42137 as the former Energia center; a Rosseti regional load-shedding list also shows Energia as a distinct power consumer. These sources support a permanent, infrastructure-heavy FSO technical site, but they do not publicly confirm the detailed research functions described in the supplied metadata.

Training area
The second placemark is best treated as a likely, not fully confirmed, FSO/Presidential Regiment training site in the Kupavna area east of Moscow. FSO historical material places the regiment's training camp at military camp Kupavna, and FSO news shows an active professional-training/autodrome function used for service-wide driver competitions; separate regional reporting has described Kupavna as the Presidential Regiment's training center. I did not find an official FSO page that explicitly ties the exact provided coordinate to a named Federal Protective Service training center.

Third placemark
The FSO underground bunkers placemark remains unverified. In this review I did not locate an official FSO publication, court record, procurement notice, or other traceable source that tied the provided coordinates to a confirmed FSO subterranean facility.
