Context
Three days after the start of mobilization on September 21, 2022, amendments entered into force, tightening the punishment of a number of "military" articles. For example, unauthorized abandonment of part more than a month is now punishable by deprivation of freedom not not five, but for ten years. For the absence of 2 to 10 days, the punishment of up to five years in prison, and not one year, threatens.
Then, on September 24, 2022, the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation introduced articles on “voluntary surrender” with a punishment of up to 10 years in prison and “looting”, which involves the punishment of up to 15 years in prison.
In addition, among aggravating circumstances, a “committing a crime during mobilization or in wartime” appeared.
Over the year since the beginning of mobilization, about 2930 cases were received in the Russian military courts against contractors, draftees and mobilized ones.
