The Russian military before the elections promised housing compensation

Russian troops won the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. Now, without exception, all the military, dismissed in the reserve and waiting for the receipt of apartments laid down by the law, will receive compensation for the hire of residential premises during this expectation, writes Gazeta.ru . Previously, this right was used only by those who managed to register as those in need of improving housing conditions until January 1, 2005.

The corresponding resolution of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation was adopted in
closed mode and published the day before on the official website
Ships.

The reason for the case was the appeals of the former
military personnel Vitaly Shum and Alexander Khmara, who were
put on housing after January 1, 2005 and on this
the basis were deprived of the opportunity to receive monetary
Compensation for housing hiring. Applicants believe that they were
put in an unequal position with citizens related to
the same category, but accepted previously those who need previously
the specified date.

The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation admitted that this provision "gives rise to such
differentiation in the legal status of persons related to one and
the same category that has no objective and reasonable
justification, incompatible with the requirements of the article of the Constitution
Russian Federation and is not consistent with constitutionally
significant goals of possible restrictions on human rights and freedoms and
citizen ".

Judge of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation Sergey Mavrin recalled that the court has already
addressed the question of the right of dismissed military personnel on
monetary compensation for the hire of residential premises in connection with
The appeal of Sergei Glushkov in 2010. He explained that "then
The question concerned the connection of this right to the date of dismissal
soldier ", writes ITAR-TASS.

"Both in the previous and in the current decision, we emphasized,
that military service is a special type of state
services related to ensuring the defense of the country and security
state and associated with a possible risk to life and
Health of military personnel, ”said the judge of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.

According to him,
"Such a specificity of military service distinguishes as military personnel,
and citizens who have served for a long time, in a separate
a category requiring additional social support measures in
including in the housing sector. "" Therefore, monetary compensation for the hiring of residential premises, which is one of these measures, should be provided to military
retirees, regardless of when they were fired from
services and when they register those in need of improving housing
conditions, ”said Mavrin.

There are no statistics that could accurately take into account the number of former military personnel who are ready to use the new interpretation of the law. However, the Gazeta.Ru notes, on the forums of the military college of lawyers, where Sergei Glushkov’s case and the fresh decision of the Constitutional Court are actively discussed, they say “thousands of officers who find themselves in similar situations.” If this is true, then the Ministry of Defense has to make tangible adjustments to its budget.

It is noteworthy that Internet users commenting on this decision of the Constitutional Court mainly consider it to be conjunctural and related to the upcoming elections.

"1 reaction is a joy, for the first time I see a sane decision. 2 The reaction" Ah yes, soon the elections. "Now I am sitting like a brave ... What was rejoicing," Mrprav blogger commits.

“It would seem, what does the election have to do with it? The bad army, if its loyalty is bought at the cost of hiring apartments,” Vlmekh echoes him.
