The Moscow City Branch of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps (MGO VSKS) is one of the largest in the country. Students of the capital’s universities have been helping to maintain public safety since 2001. The branch includes more than 400 volunteers from 19 units of higher and secondary vocational educational institutions.
“Each volunteer is not just a volunteer, but a qualified assistant to rescue services, ready to act in the most difficult situations. He can participate in humanitarian missions, support military personnel, and most importantly, carry out ongoing work to improve the safety of city residents. MGO VSKS is an example of responsibility and unity,” said
Ekaterina Dragunova, Chairman of the capital’s Committee for Public Relations and Youth Policy.
School of Goodness and Safety
All Moscow student rescuers are trained to provide qualified assistance to special services. Young volunteers take an active part in humanitarian missions and support servicemen in the special military operation (SVO) zone. In addition, they regularly conduct informational and preventive work with residents of the capital.
Volunteers undergo professional training, acquiring the skills of rescuers, first aid instructors, industrial climbers and rescue sailors. Students conduct various events, open lessons and master classes in Moscow for residents and guests of the capital on behavior in emergency situations and first aid.
The Moscow City Branch of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps includes nine school rescue teams. Its instructors train children in fire and rescue disciplines on a regular basis.
Trainees from various regions of Russia, including the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions, are trained at the headquarters of the MGO VSKS. In 2024, 122 volunteers from other regions were trained here.
The Moscow city branch of VSKS is rapidly developing, popularizing the culture of safety among Muscovites and involving people in volunteer activities during emergencies. The organization is becoming increasingly important in the sphere of ensuring security in the capital, forming a personnel reserve for responding to challenges.
The main areas of its work remain raising the level of citizens’ life safety culture, participation in the elimination of emergency situations and their consequences, training volunteers for this, organizing humanitarian missions, ensuring security at mass events of various levels, as well as organizing and conducting emergency recovery operations.
Professionalism and dedication
In 2024–2025, volunteers took part in such work in the Donetsk People’s Republic, as well as in humanitarian missions to the cities of Kursk, Belgorod, Rostov-on-Don, and Toropets. They delivered humanitarian aid as part of the State University of Management’s “GUU-SVOim” project, participated in the liquidation of the consequences of an oil spill in the city of Anapa, and made trench candles and camouflage nets for servicemen participating in the SVO.
Recently, the capital’s volunteer rescuers and volunteers of the ANO “Center “Pomoshch”” returned from the Kirzhach district of the Vladimir region, where they helped residents affected by the fire. They were engaged in emergency recovery work and landscaping of the territory. In parallel with this, students at the humanitarian headquarters sorted humanitarian aid in order to quickly deliver necessary things and food to people.
“Volunteer rescuers from Moscow worked shoulder to shoulder with the local branch of VSKS, rescuers and volunteers. We know how important every trained pair of hands is in such a situation. The volunteers who provided assistance have the necessary skills and experience in emergency situations. Moscow volunteers promptly delivered humanitarian aid and transported volunteer rescuers. Logistics was organized in such a way as to use the available resources as efficiently as possible,” said Maxim Dzhetygenov, deputy of the Moscow City Duma and head of the Moscow city branch of VSKS.
