Who can get a delay from mobilization
On September 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a mobilization to participate in a military invasion of Ukraine. During it, according to the Ministry of Defense, 300 thousand reservists will be called up. Citizens who are in stock will fall under the call, and those who were serving in the Armed Forces "have military accounting specialties and appropriate experience." North Realities tell who can get a delay.
The reasons why you can get a delay are described in the Federal Law "On Military Duty and Military Service". Here they are:
- For health reasons, recognized as temporarily not suitable for the list of diseases.
- If a person is busy with a constant care of his father, mother, wife, husband, brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother or adoptive parent.
- If the only guardian of minor sisters or sisters is called up.
- If a person has four or more children under the age of 16 or this person has dependent and brings up without a mother of one child and more under the age of 16 years.
- If the human spouse is at least 22 weeks at the gestational age.
- Members of the Federation Council and State Duma deputies.
As the human rights activist Pavel Chikov clarifies , there are certain categories of citizens who are not called up for military service. For example, having a scientific degree who are sons or sons or sons of the dead military personnel who underwent military service, who have not removed or outstanding criminal record. The delay can be provided with a special decree of the President of Russia.
How to make a delay
To obtain a deferral for study, it is necessary to provide a certificate from the military department of the educational organization in the military commissariat. In other cases, it is necessary to provide documents confirming the availability of the basis for deferral or exemption from the call.
The delay is drawn up by the decision of the draft commission, so if you are not sure that such a decision was made, apply with a statement and documents to the military commissariat, writes Pavel Chikov.
What is the maximum age for calling
The maximum age for an ordinary soldier is 50 years. For Marshal, Army General, Admiral of the Fleet, Colonel General, Admiral-65 years old, for Lieutenant General, Vice Admiral, Major General, Rear Admiral-60 years old, and for the colonel or captain of the 1st rank-55 years. Higher officers - up to 70 years.
Women of military specialties: officers-up to 50 years old, the rest are up to 45 years.
How to notify mobilization
Those who are mobilized should hand over the summons personally in their hands and on signature . The agenda can be handed at the place of residence or at work (the employer must facilitate the military commissariats by law).
There is an exception! The storerooms who have mobilization requirements are obliged to appear in the commissariat themselves, without waiting for the call. This is spelled out in article 21 of the Law on mobilization preparation and mobilization in Russia.
A mobilization order is a document that is glued into a military ID and is in it during the entire draft period. This sheet means that a particular citizen is part of a military team, which, if necessary, will be formed as soon as possible.
"Agora" notes that first of all, mobilization prescriptions will receive reservists - men who have served in the army, who entered into a reserve contract.
“If you do not subject to mobilization, then we recommend carrying a confirming document with you. It can be an attributed, military ID, certificate of a disabled person, passport - if you cannot be called due to age. A certificate of delay from the university will also be suitable. Documents that you are at the moment, can also help,” wrote Pavel Chikov.
Journalist Roman Super in his telegram channel notes that the summons can come through the site "State Services".
“So that they do not come there, you need to put the checkmarks - I accept only paper letters. You can do this here ,” the journalist wrote.
The summons will not be sent through the "State Services", the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation said .
What threatens if you do not come to the military registration and enlistment office
If the Russian does not appear at the military registration and enlistment office after the presentation of the agenda, then he faces only a warning or administrative fine from 500 rubles to 3 thousand (Article 21.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). Citizens who have not received the summons are not required to come to the military registration and enlistment office.
Is it possible to leave the country
According to the law (clause 2 of Article 21 of the Law on Mobilization), persons subject to mobilization cannot leave their place of residence without special permission.
The Ministry of Defense has not yet reported any prohibitions on departure from the country.
At the same time, the chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense Andrei Kartapolov noted that citizens subject to mobilization are not recommended to go on vacation abroad. He said that potentially mobilized residents can move around the country, for example, go on a business trip, "but it’s better not to do it."
Member of the Council for Human Rights under the President of Russia, Kirill Kabanov, said that legally there is no prohibition of leaving the place of residence with partial mobilization, but it has been valid from the moment the agenda is received.
Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that explanations about the restriction of the departure will follow.
