AVIATION SECURITY IN RUSSIA: 40 YEARS OF EVOLUTION

摘要

As is often the case in the world of aviation security, even the issuance of Executive Order Ns 1414, which created the Security Department was a reactive measure; the statistics for acts of unlawful interference against civil aviation (see Figure 1) in Russia illustrate a number of pre-1973 incidents. Indeed, the very first attempt to hijack an aircraft was on 25 October 1958 when two criminals at a tiny airport in Cherskiy - a town in Yakutia - attempted to seize an Antonov 2 aircraft. Between 1958 and 1970 there were a few other attempts, yet no one actually succeeded in hijacking an aircraft.
