The celestial losses of Russia's power structures by the end of the year can compose two battalions

Russian law enforcement agencies, due to non-eating losses, may lose up to two battalions of military personnel by the end of the year, the commission of the Public Chamber of Veterans, military personnel and members of their families be considered in the Commission of the Public Chamber.

"The failure losses already in the first quarter of 2008 amounted to 200 people. At such a pace, by the end of the year, we can lose almost two battalions of military personnel in peacetime," the press release of the commission, widespread before the press conference of the head of the commission of Alexander Kanshin in Moscow.

The message recalls that in 2007, almost 300 military personnel of various power structures, mainly soldiers, sergeants, young officers, cadets, committed suicide, Interfax reports.

Half of cases of death of the Armed Forces military personnel in the first quarter of this year also amounted to suicide. We will remind, earlier, Kansshin demanded that the FSB, the Ministry of Emergencies and the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs publish information about the non -eva losses among military servicemen.

It should be noted, according to the reports of the Ministry of Defense, in the Armed Forces the total number of non -eating losses is reduced: in 2005, more than 1 thousand conscripts died, in 2007 - 442. But the percentage of suicides grew : in 2007, 224 soldiers set accounts with life. OP is sure that the reason for the frequent cases of suicide in the army is "moral, psychological and military-technical unpreparedness of conscripts to the army."

It is worth noting that the transition to a year service can “spoil” statistics, it has already caused a negative reaction in the Union of Committee of Soldiers' Mothers. Experts predict the surge of hazing .

At the end of February, the military prosecutor's office listed the "ugly facts of hazing" in the Russian army, reporting that more than two thousand people were condemned for this only in 2007.
