Where were Spetsnaz and OSNAZ traing facilities more specifically located?
1) “Strictly speaking, all Spetsnaz units operated by the KGB/FSB were called OSNAZ, an acronym for [voiska] osobogo naznacheniya or “special purpose [detachments]”.” “The Center of Special Operations (CNS) of the FSB is designed to combat terrorism and to protect the constitutional order in the Russian Federation. The CSN FSB consists of 3 different “operative” subdivisions – Department A (also known as spetsgruppa “Alfa”), Department V (also known as spetsgruppa “Vympel”), and so-called SSO (Special Operations Service). The headquarters of CSN FSB is a huge complex of buildings and training areas (dozens of hectares worth of land, 76 training facilities, etc). It is located in the town of Balashikha-2, only 10 km away from the Moscow ring.” Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spetsnaz Further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSNAZ 2)”Vasiliev now travels several times a year to give seminars across North America and in Europe.
