Railway safety in the context of the implementation of the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation

Ensuring safety in the railway sector from threats of various types is of strategic importance for the normal functioning of Russian society and the state. These threats are becoming particularly acute, given the introduction of unprecedented economic sanctions and political pressure against our country. In these conditions, the importance of Russia’s transport and logistics interests is increasing, and preventing threats to its normal functioning are becoming vital needs. This article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation in order to identify the compliance of tasks in the field of ensuring transport security with tasks in the field of ensuring safety in railway transport. The solution of these tasks in the context of the implementation of the Transport Strategy is seen by the author in improving the activities of security entities in the railway industry. This process, according to the author, will be facilitated by the definition of railway safety as an independent type of transport security, which will, in turn, unify the terminology of types of safety in the railway sector and specify practical tasks to ensure them.
