In Tatarstan, a Muslim chose AGS

In Tatarstan, a Muslim conscript chose the alternative civilian service (ACS). The Federal Labor Agency sent him to the Spetsstroy organization in Izhevsk, where he will serve for a year and a half.

There have already been cases when Muslims chose the ACS. For example, in 2007, one of the Muslims completed his service in the Main Directorate of the Federal Penitentiary Service for Tatarstan. His choice was also due to religious reasons.
