September 20, 1945 People's Commissioner of Internal Affairs of the USSR signed an order number 001123, which on the basis of the 33rd Regiment motor operating NKVD troops formed the Red Star Order of Königsberg border detachment. He had to protect Chukotka.

But the protection of state borders in the Chukotka began well before August 1946. By the time the ship «Jean Zhores» delivered in Providence, former 33rd pogranpolk, has been housed commandant Kamchatka border detachment.
Start a regular border in Chukotka has 27 April, 1928 order of the Plenipotentiary of the OGPU on the edge of the Far East FD Medved. Pursuant to the order, with the opening of navigation in the remote Chukchi villages and camps have begun to border guards. One of the first, in May 1928, arrived on the peninsula red commander Ivan M. Trubitsyn, accompanied by two Red Army soldiers. Since the opening of the border post in the town of Providence. The following year, three soldiers, two more sought chekistam Red Army soldier. The zone of responsibility of the included hundreds of kilometers, but IM Trubitsyn learned about everything that happened to his location. Red commander mastered the Chukchi and Eskimo languages, learned to manage the dog sledding is not worse than the locals. Tell that the day Trubitsyn could go to the sledge up to 100 kilometers.
In many historical essays by Ivan M. called «the first head of the Chukotka region». With all the appeal of this definition, it does have a certain artificiality. Ivan M. Trubitsyn, really, with all the energy was given to his case, but it is his contribution to the development of Chukotka, the organization of border security on the peninsula is local. Trubitsyn planned a long stay in these harsh lands. In 1931, Ivan M. Providence has brought to the young woman, here they have a child appeared, but the state of health did not allow the senior lieutenant Trubitsyn continue service in the north. According to some reports, the commander general ill tuberculosis had to leave the border service. Killed Ivan Timofeyevich at the front 1 February, 1942 in the Novgorod region.
In subsequent years, particularly in the pre, the number of border troops in Chukotka has increased significantly. In conducting exposed commandant, subordinate Kamchatski morpogranotryadu, expanding the network of posts and outposts. Along the coast regularly reydiruyut border patrol boat «thieves», «Dzerzhinsky». «Kirov».

September 21, 1946 the headquarters detachment was prepared and brought to the outposts, and the first commandant order to protect the border. In fact, about half of the 16 outposts that provided the first state border detachment, was to make so-called «clean in the field», or, more precisely, on the icy tundra permafrost.
For all new outposts set up barracks poluzemlyanochnogo type with narami three tiers. Commander unit housed in a separate room, where she also established a communications equipment. Covered outpost paraffin lamps, and even koptilkami.

A difficult situation was in the garrison parts. The seven buildings of the former commandant providenskoy housed the headquarters and the officers family. And they, like other military units, originally located in tents. September 3, 1946 work began on construction of the garrison. They deployed all: from the officers to the families of border guards. By the end of November in the garrison erected 20 buildings of different purposes. Lack Scaffoldings restored from logs pribityh wave to the shore. However, despite the persistent efforts of Chukchi life guards long left much to be desired. Full electrification of border detachment was completed only towards the end of the 50-ies. It was only in April 1964, the garrison of the acquired type of the modern village. A border guard in the first Providenskom area appeared 16-kvaritirnye home with hot water, steam, and sewage.

In summer 1947, there were guards at the neighbors. The serious deterioration of relations with former allies in the anti-Hitler coalition - the United States, the Soviet Union led the Government to take measures to strengthen the defensive lines, located closest to the U.S.. Chukotka began to focus a large group of Armed Forces. On the peninsula began to move rifle, tank and air connections. Some time later, they transformed in the 14 th of landing an army under the command of General NN Olesheva.
In 1947, in Providence Bay perebroshennye connection Soviet Army began construction of bunkers, firing points, barracks, bomb shelters and other engineering structures. At the tops of hills there were anti-aircraft batteries along the shoreline - the position of Field Artillery. In the ravines mask tanks. Just a few weeks, lifeless space tundra has become a strong fortified area. Today, on the outskirts of the village of Providence only the ruins of military and defense structures reminiscent of the once powerful group, the Armed Forces.

In 1947, to take measures and to enhance the Chukchi border detachment. Were added to two linear outpost, aviation squadron of six aircraft-2 and Group pogransudov. Aircraft comprising the order existed on the short-lived. Since 1959, it brought in a separate structure. By 1959, in his Number One Li-2 and a pair of AN-2 and Po-2.

Staff changes in the Chukchi division occurred often enough. Long as there was a linear gate 21, each of which provided boats. Then the number of units of the border have begun to gradually reduce. In 1967, instead of commandant entered maneuver group and began to guard the border outpost on replacement option. This system lasted for almost ten years. In 1976, all returned to their own circles. Already in 1990 as an experiment in Anadyr creates air commandant, which included two outposts.
The appearance of the unit in 1967, three radar stations «Don» marked the transition to a new quality of borders. Since then, the main type of attire has become the border of the technical surveillance radar and prozhektornym arms.

In 2005, the squad has completed the redeployment of Providence in Anadyr. The issue of transfer of the garrison had been raised several times. Village Ureliki where the squad was in September 1946, at the beginning of this century, almost ceased to exist. People fled once one of the largest settlements of Chukotka. Once the parts have been reduced in the Ministry of Defense, located here, and specialists have left for the work of the Northern Sea Route in the village were only border. Their small town a few years of civilization and remained an island of relative prosperity and the middle of the general desolation. But each year to devote fewer resources to maintain the infrastructure of an autonomous life support systems of border garrison. At the cost of enormous, almost incredible efforts of military and civilian personnel of the order, the collapse has been avoided, although in the winter of 1999 - 2000 garrison year a few weeks had to be without heat and electricity.

Group of Chukotka after the winter 1999 - 2000 years has been able to avoid negative-extreme of the situation in the communal area. But the engineering of the border town continued to grow old, their repair and maintenance required more resources and costs. In parallel the interests of border security on the peninsula will dictate the need for continuous efforts pairing command squad for the organization of operational performance with the administrative efforts of the Government of Chukotka. One, every word spoken in favor of relocation of the garrison in the detachment of the Providence of Anadyr.
The issue moved from the dead point at the end of 2003. And while the director of the Federal Security Service of Russia Nikolai Patrushev Chukotka Head North-East regional border control, Lieutenant-General Valery Putov during a meeting with the governor of Chukotka Roman Abramovich was able to clearly and consistently argue the need to transfer the management team in Anadyr. 64 th anniversary of the border met in the new paragraph dislocation.

The new database with the help of local authorities and the Chukchi of developed extensive management work. Today garrison border detachment, commanded by Colonel Alexander Vahnin, perhaps, the most modern among the military, not only North-East administration, but of the entire Far East.
