The history of the Central Orsha-Khingan Red Banner District of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation dates back to July 15, 1921, when by order of the CHEKA No. 21, the headquarters of the Moscow District of the Cheka was formed and began to fulfill its tasks as part of three separate regiments, twelve separate battalions, cavalry and armored divisions, an aviation detachment, an engineering battalion and a special purpose detachment under the Presidium of the Cheka.

On February 2, 1939, by a decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, the administration of the Moscow District was abolished — regiments and battalions were transferred to the divisions of the NKVD (convoy units and units for the protection of railways and especially important industrial enterprises). During the Great Patriotic War, parts of the district fought as part of the 3rd Belorussian Front. Subsequently, for the capture of the city of Orsha, the district became known as Orsha. For the liberation of Minsk, he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner, for distinction in battles with Japanese militarists, he was awarded the name "Khingansky". Nine servicemen were awarded the title of Heroes of the Soviet Union, more than 12.5 thousand servicemen were awarded orders and medals.

On May 6, 1951, the NKVD convoy division was reorganized into the 1st Orsha-Khingan Red Banner Department of the Moscow Region Ministry of Internal Affairs, and on December 15, 1968 - into the 36th Orsha-Khingan Red Banner Division. In 1986, the Moscow Department of Internal Troops was created on its basis, and in January 1993, the Moscow Orsha-Khingan Red Banner District of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia was formed.

The military personnel of the district took part in the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, performed responsible combat tasks in the hot spots of the Transcaucasia: Sumgait, Ferghana, Nagorno-Karabakh and North Ossetia. From the first days of the armed conflict in the Chechen Republic, military personnel stood up to protect the constitutional order and citizens from illegal armed groups. In 2008, the Moscow District was transformed into the Central Regional Command of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. With the formation of the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, which included the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the Central Regional Command was reformed into the Central District of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation.

The postage stamp contains an image of the heraldic sign of the district, in the margins of the postal block there are archival photos reflecting the military path of the district, and the Orders of Zhukov and the Red Banner.
