Barabash Military Solutions and Consulting (Zamorodnian: Barabash Vyysʹkovy Ryshennya ta Konsaltynh), or Barabash VRK, is a private limited liability company founded by Lukyan Maksymuk Barabash. The company was formed out of the assets of SAR-ZBR Protection, a former security contractor. Barabash VRK offers a number of services worldwide, including private security, labour counter-organization, and military contracting.
The company's first major contract was made with the osavul of Sarsk'a Spyl'nota, Yvan Petruk Hmelnyts'skyy, in 2000. Since then, Barabash VRK has been responsible for the region's military operations. In 2008, Osavul Hmelnyts'skyy abdicated in favour of Barabash. Barabash VRK has continued to operate under Lukyan Maksymuk's leadership to the present day.
Barabash VRK and its proprietor are notoriously secretive regarding financials and personnel numbers. The total number of employees is estimated between 31,000 and 32,000. The number of personnel making up the security and military forces of the company is estimated at 8,000 to 9,000. The company has no obligation to file reports within Zamorodna and in the foreign jurisdictions that require reporting where Barabash VRK operates, it is frequently five to six years late in its filing, regularly accepting financial penalties in exchange for withholding up-to-date information.
History
Services
Barabash VRK offers a number of services, many of which can be personalized for a client's specific needs. Company personnel can be contracted for both direct action in security, transportation, hardware installation, enforcement, or general presence services. Other consultative services include media campaigning and wealth management. The categories of services as Barabash VRK offers them are private security, labour force management, military services, and financial services.
Private security
Barabash VRK offers three categories of security services: location, transportation, and personal. Location security services are the most common that the company provides, primarily in theft prevention and detection for stores, banks, and corporate offices. Ancillary services include guard dog training and closed-circuit television camera installation and monitoring, both on-site and off-site.
The second major security service that Barabash VRK provides is secured transportation. This service includes armoured car service to transfer cash or other valuable objects, either in routine movements or for chartered routes. Armoured car service makes use of reinforced trucks that feature bulletproof plating and glass to resist robbery or hijacking attempts. In certain jurisdictions, military-grade armoured fighting vehicles may be used instead. Special courier services include chartered armoured car routes, but can also include secured and discreet flight routes. Special courier services are most frequently used for the transportation of valuables or artwork between private collectors.
Personal services include escort and bodyguard services. Escort services are employed to protect a client who is moving through a dangerous area. This could constitute a warzone or an area that is particularly hostile to the client. Barabash VRK advertizes both armoured and discreet forms of escort. Bodyguards can be employed for either events or residential services.
