The Volkspolizei-Bereitschaften (VPB, German for "People's Police Alert Units", sometimes known as "Barracked People’s Police" or "Alert Police") were paramilitary police units of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) from 1955 to 1990. The VPB were barracked units of the Volkspolizei for riot control and counterinsurgency with regiment status, under control of the Ministry of the Interior and considered part of the armed forces, but were never part of the National People's Army or the Ministry of National Defence. 

The VPB were organized as Internal Troops like in many Warsaw Pact countries. The VPB functioned as the de facto armed branch of the Ministry for State Security (Stasi).

Organization
The German Democratic Republic's Ministry of the Interior (German: Ministerium des Innern, or MdI) maintained the independent Department of the Alert Units of the Volkspolizei (the country's main law enforcement agency) known as the Volkspolizei-Bereitschaften (VPB). It consisted of between 12,000 and 15,000 men  in 21 Volkspolizei Alert Units of battalion strength. 

There was usually one unit per district of East Germany, but the key districts of Halle, Leipzig and Magdeburg, with their large working class populations, and Potsdam all had two units. 

The Presidium of the People's Police in East Berlin had three units located in Basdorf.

Each Alert unit was organized as follows:
Headquarters section
Four alert companies:
One mechanized company in wheeled armoured personnel carriers
Three motorized companies in trucks
Support company
Anti-tank platoon with three 45 mm/57 mm anti-tank guns (later ATGMs)
Artillery platoon with three 76.2 mm ZiS-3 field/anti-tank guns
Mortar platoon with three 82 mm mortars
Headquarters and staff company with:
signals platoon
engineer platoon
chemical platoon
reconnaissance platoon
transport platoon
supply platoon
control section
medical section

Equipment
These units were equipped with light and medium infantry weapons, SK-1 wheeled armoured personnel carriers, SK-2 water cannon (both armoured and unarmoured versions) and buses. Their uniform was the standard Volkspolizei grey-green. 

The political reliability of the Alert Units was of particular importance to the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) as they would be used against the population in the event of social disorders such as the strike of 17 June 1953 in the industrial areas of East Germany.

The World Skate Roller Hockey World Cup is the international championship for roller hockey organized by World Skate. The first event was held in 1936, in the city of Stuttgart. Since 1989, the World Championship tournament is held every two years on the odd years. Until 2017, it was organized by the Fédération Internationale de Roller Sports. As of 2019, following the merge between the FIRS and the International Skateboarding Federation, the World Cup is now an event of the larger World Roller Games.

Through the 2019 World Cup, only five countries have taken the Roller Hockey World Cup: England winning two times, Portugal winning sixteen times, Spain winning seventeen times, Italy winning four times and Argentina winning five times.

Since the 2003 World Cup all events have been 16-team events, featuring a four group round-robin tournament with four teams in each group. The top two teams in each group advance to an eight team knockout final series.

North Caucasus Economic Region (; tr.: Severo-Kavkazsky ekonomichesky rayon) is one of 12 economic regions of Russia. It comprises the whole of the North Caucasian Federal District and the western federal subjects of the Southern Federal District. 

In this area, descending northward from the principal chain of the Caucasus Mountains to a level plain, are found rich deposits of oil, natural gas, and coal. Major cities include Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar,  Grozny, Vladikavkaz and Novorossiysk. Sochi is a popular resort city. Farm machinery, coal, petroleum, and natural gas are the chief products. The Kuban River region, a fertile black-earth area, is one of the chief granaries of Russia. Wheat, sugar beets, tobacco, rice, and sunflower seeds are grown, and cattle are raised. Other rivers include the Don, the Kuma, and the Terek, and the Volga-Don Canal is a major transportation route.

Composition
Republic of Adygea (part of Southern Federal District)
Chechen Republic (part of North Caucasian Federal District)
Republic of Dagestan (part of North Caucasian Federal District)
Republic of Ingushetia (part of North Caucasian Federal District)
Kabardino-Balkar Republic (part of North Caucasian Federal District)
Karachay–Cherkess Republic (part of North Caucasian Federal District)
Krasnodar Krai (part of Southern Federal District)
Republic of North Ossetia–Alania (part of North Caucasian Federal District)
Rostov Oblast (part of Southern Federal District)

Socio-economic indicators
North Caucasus economic region accounted for almost 6 per cent of the national GRP in 2008. This region includes the most troubled part of the Russian Federation, the Chechen Republic, and other republics where ethnic tensions are high.   Economic capacities are far lower than the average for the country as a whole. GDP per capita is barely half that of the average for the Federation, and productivity and wages are also low.  Employment in agriculture is also well above the national average.

Life expectancy for both men and women is at the average for the Federation as a whole. But other high indicators are signs of troubles, for example, the migration of the population, the readiness of people to move to find a job elsewhere and high unemployment.
