The LEADER center is Russia’s EMERCOM special division responsible for the most dangerous and risky search and rescue operations. LEADER is also due to provide safety and security to humanitarian aid cargoes, properties and pieces of art in emergency areas, as well as to detect, dispose and demolish dangerous explosives and ammunition. The LEADER rescuers have worked all over the country - in Neftegorsk, Priosyorsk, Naro-Fominsk, Tomsk, Kuyeda, Moscow, Kotlas, Makhachkala, and Archangelsk. They 12 took part in salvation works after the airplane crashes in Abakan, Cherkessk, Sochi, Irkutsk, Batumi, Tver, Chkalovsk, and on mountain tops of Kamchatka. LEADER’s staff is always ready to search for survivors, help victims and bring relief to an area, devastated after a tragedy, no matter where or when the disaster happened. The rescuers have carried out numerous operations in places out of easy reach - in mountains of Caucasus, Altai, Tian Shan, and Pamir, Tanzania’s savannah, Kazakhstan’s heath, and Sahara desert. LEADER’s team is also well known in Afghanistan, Columbia, Turkey, Taiwan, India, Algeria and Iran. Every time Russia’s EMERCOM goes to some risky area, LEADER rescuers are in the team. Afghanistan, Congo, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Iraq, Zambia and Pakistan’ve been all visited by the LEADER team at least once, having evacuated Russian diplomats and Russian-speaking population from particularly dangerous territories. LEADER’s demolition experts have contributed a lot to maintaining Russia’s international authority by having destroyed landmines and dangerous explosives in Bosnia, Herzegovina, Croatia and Kosovo. They’ve managed to clear an area of almost 500 thousand square meters and to destroy over 20 thousand explosives. They’ve also destroyed landmines at the mountain pass of Salanf and cleared the area around Russian Embassy in Afghanistan, having destroyed around 7 000 dangerous explosive objects. LEADER also has a unique experience of using robots in the VNIIEF Russian Federal Atomic Center and carrying out a radiological clearing operation in Grozny where 37 sources of ionizing radiation were localized. During 11 years of it’s existence, LEADER experts have conducted over a thousand rescue, humanitarian, and special operations, having saved more than a thousand human lives, delivered over 70 thousand tons of humanitarian aid to various regions of Russia and the world and having destroyed nearly 36 thousand explosives.
