OMON was a system of special police units of Federal Police within the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was created as the special forces of the Soviet police in 1988, and then played major roles in several armed conflicts. In modern context, the OMON were used more like riot police, or as a gendarmerie-like force. On 5 April 2016, the functions of OMON were taken over by the newly established National Guard of Russia.
