The Russian armed forces switched to a one -year -old draft from January 1, 2008, young people, called up for military service in the ranks of the Russian army, will serve only one year - half a year less than those drafted in 2007. Thus, the second stage of the implementation of the Federal Law "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation in connection with the reduction in the deadline for military service", signed by the President of Russia on July 12, 2006, began.
According to the head of the defense department Anatoly Serdyukov, the military for this transition is ready. It is part of the programs implemented in Russia to modernize and reform the aircraft, RIA Novosti reports
“It seems to me that we are ready for this transition,” the defense minister said on October 3 at the end of the closed “government hour” in the State Duma. According to Serdyukov, 2007 also showed that the Ministry of Defense coped with the transition to the 18-month service life.
The reduction in the service life of a call is supposed to increase the attractiveness of military service, reduce the number of "refuseniks" and significantly reduce the manifestations of non -state relations in the army.
According to the Ministry of Defense, in the fall of 2006, 11.9 thousand people evaded service in the army, and during the spring draft 2007 - 12.5 thousand people. For comparison, over the whole of 2002, more than 30 thousand draftees evaded military service.
The Minister of Defense is also confident that the transition to a one -year service life will significantly reduce the acuteness of the problem of non -celebrated relations in the army. "As it was before: the first year the soldier studied and served, and in the second -" prepared for returning home. "
Now this will not happen, ”Serdyukov said earlier in an interview with Rossiy newspaper.
The confidence of the head of the military department is that the reduction in the life of the service will lead to a decrease in the number of "deviations" and a reduction in the number of facts of non -state relations are divided by the Main Military Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation.
“I am sure that there will be positive changes. There has already been recorded a decrease in offenses in the troops, including miserable relations,” said Alexander Nikitin, head of the GVP, head of the GVP, the head of the GVP, Alexander Nikitin. In his opinion, when switching to a annual service life, the intensity of the training of military personnel will increase, and therefore, they will have less time for something else. In other words, according to the general, the soldiers will not have time for the "grandfather", and the very concept of "old -timer" will be very conditionally among the military servicemen.
According to Colonel General Vasily Smirnov, the head of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Administration (GOM), one year of service will increase the effectiveness of combat training, making the educational process more compressed. At the same time, due to the abolition of a number of delay and release, the base of the draft contingent will expand in 2008, conscripts with the highest will go to the army
education.
So, in accordance with amendments to the law on military duty and military service, which entered into force since 2008, the list of grounds for liberation or delay from the army was reduced from 25 to 21. "Thus, we will receive about 100 thousand draft contingent, which we can send to the troops, and this is enough for the acquisition," Smirnov noted.
In addition to changing the terms of call, from January 1, new military charters entered into force. So, of the four, operating in the army and in the Navy until December 31, 2007, three were updated: the charter of the internal service, the disciplinary charter and the charter of the garrison and guard services. Only the drill charter remained unchanged.
As noted in the presidential decree, these changes were carried out "in order to bring the All -Vo -Vo -Voino Charters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation."
New charters reflect various changes in the Federal Law "On Defense", take into account the provisions of the military and naval doctrines of the Russian Federation, new symbols of the Armed Forces. In particular, the status of military personnel is determined and the constitutional norm was reproduced for the first time that no one has the right to limit them to the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution, a description of the ritual of presenting combat banners and other demands regulating the life and life of military personnel are described.
Military charters belong to the category of official regulatory documents. They regulate the daily activities of military personnel, life, life and service in the aircraft, the preparation of personnel, and also determine the foundations of the military operations of units, units and formations.
In Russia, the All -Russian Charters were updated several times.
In September 1992, the President of the Russian Federation approved the temporary All -Vo -Voino Charters.
In December 1993, they were brought into line with new legislation.
In June 2002, the charters were again modernized, changes and additions were made to certain points of the articles of the disciplinary charter and the charter of the garrison and guard services.
