The number of personnel in the Rosgvardiya increased significantly in 2023 and now exceeds 400,000 people, including civilian personnel. This is comparable to the size of the Kremlin's army group in Ukraine. The police force, which is responsible for the main fight against political dissidents, is statistically 915,500 people. Russia has the third largest police force in the world after China and India. This also explains the growing difficulty of resisting the regime inside the country.
