In November last year, Makeev was drafted into the ranks of the Armed Forces, underwent training in the training unit in Kovrov, the Vladimir Region and was sent to undergo further service in Vladikavkaz.

On the eve of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, it was finally recognized that in the troops participating in the operation to force Georgia to the world, military servicemen were also involved. "We really had a small number of conscripts in the hostilities. Mostly of those parts that are deployed in the area of ​​Vladikavkaz," the General Staff said.

At the same time, they noted that the law on military duty and military service allows us to involve trained military service military personnel to conduct combat operations. Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation categorically refuted media reports that military personnel are fighting in South Ossetia along with contractors.

Human rights activists, for their part, turned to the prosecutor's office with a request to figure out how the little-ruffs soldiers were in South Ossetia. “We sent a letter to the main military prosecutor’s office, in which we ask you to figure out how the soldiers could be sent to South Ossetia. This is a violation of Russian laws,” said Valentina Melnikova, executive secretary of the Russian Union of the Russian Union of the Russian Union, on Wednesday.

She explained that "according to the law of 1995, which determines the participation of Russian military personnel in peacekeeping and other operations abroad, they could only be sent to South Ossetia on a voluntary basis and subject to the conclusion of the contract, and it is impossible to send conscripts abroad."

Human rights activists indicated that there were no military bases of the Russian army in Georgia, so only soldiers could go there on a contract basis. According to them, their organization has information about the wounded and dead soldiers from Rostov-on-Don and the Sverdlovsk region.

In turn, the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation intends to deal with information about the presence of Russian draftees in the zone of the Supreme South-Ossetian conflict. “According to the provisions, the conscripts in peacetime can be sent to participate in the fighting only on a voluntary basis. We recently told us that there are no conscripts there. But they were recognized as their presence,” said the President of the Holocaust Foundation, a member of the Public Chamber of Alla Gerber at a working meeting of the created op to investigate war crimes in South Ossetia.
