Abstract. The current paper has presented a scientific analysis of existing approaches to defining the phenomenon of “national interest” as a basic category for the concept of “national security” and its components such as transport and railway security, and on this basis, Russia’s national interests in the field of railway security enforcement. There has been argued that Russia’s national interests in the field of railway security enforcement represent a combination of the interests of society and the state in ensuring the safe movement of people and goods on the country’s railways. At the same time, there has been substantiated that national interests in the field of railway security enforcement include the need to form and improve the state policy of the Russian Federation related to ensuring railway safety and security, and the implementation of a state-defined system of legal, economic, organizational and other measures in the sphere of the railway complex aimed at preventing threats of various natures (internal and external) to railway transport facilities (movable and immovable), the surrounding ecosystem, staff and passengers, as well as minimizing their consequences.

Keywords: national security; national interests; transport security; transport and logistics interests; railway security; railway security enforcement.
