Since September 21, partial mobilization has been announced in Russia. According to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, it will involve about 300 thousand reservists who have served in the army, have combat experience and the necessary military specialty. What to do when receiving a summons, what threatens to fail to appear at the military registration and enlistment office and in what cases you can not go there — in the Izvestia article.
Who and how should serve the summons
According to Federal Law No. 31 “On mobilization training and mobilization in the Russian Federation”, several documents can serve as the basis for a call to the service: a mobilization order, a summons, an order of military commissariats, federal executive bodies that have a reserve.
agenda, in accordance with Federal Law No. 53 “On military duty and military service”, should be handed only in person, against receipt. It is issued by an employee of the military registration and enlistment office or by the head or authorized representative of the organization, if this happens at the place of work or study. The employee of the military registration and enlistment office must introduce himself and, upon request, present his documents. Citizen, who received the summons must sign it, its spine must be returned to the military commissariat.
If a relative, neighbor or other unauthorized person signed for the receipt of the summons, it has no legal force. When service of a summons is not possiblefor example, a person is absent at the place of residence, The military commissar must send a written appeal to the internal affairs bodies with a request to ensure the appearance of the conscript.
When a person refuses to receive a summons, an appropriate act is drawn up. Theoretically, this can be considered as military service evasion. According to the new law, which has already been adopted by the State Duma, approved by the Federation Council and is being signed by the president, military service evasion is punishable by imprisonment for up to 10 years. At present, Art. 328 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Evasion of military and alternative civilian service”, which provides for a fine of up to 200 thousand rubles, arrest for up to 6 months, forced labor or imprisonment for up to 2 years. It applies to hard-core deviators. There is also Art. 21.5 in the Code of Administrative Offenses on the failure by citizens to fulfill their military registration obligations. According to it, the violator faces a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of 500 to 3 thousand rubles.
In March of this year, the Duma adopted in two readings a bill on new rules for serving summonses to conscripts, according to which they could be sent by registered mail with notification. However, the third reading of the bill was postponed, and so far no innovations have been adopted.
How to determine the authenticity of the subpoena
If you have been given a summons, first you need to carefully consider it. The form of the document is determined by the order of the Minister of Defense No. 700 “On the approval of the Instruction on the organization of work to ensure the functioning of the military registration system.” It should indicate the date and time for which you are called, the reason for the call, the official who calls and the work phone for communication. The document must have the official seal of the military commissariat and the signature of the military commissar.
Theoretically, the subpoena can be handed in anywhere, even in the yard, this is not prohibited by law, the main thing is that the person must sign for its receipt. No calls by phone, e-mail, instant messengers, through the “Gosuslugi” are not provided for by laws. It is quite possible that false subpoenas and fake calls with calls to the military registration and enlistment office will appear, as was the case in March. Then the Ministry of Defense called it a provocation of the Ukrainian special services, messages to the Russians came from Ukrainian territory.
What will happen for non-appearance in the military registration and enlistment office
The summons must contain an indication of liability for non-attendance. In case of receipt of a summons and failure to appear without good reason, a citizen is considered to be evading military service. and is held accountable in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, so far – under the aforementioned articles 328 of the Criminal Code and 21.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
If a citizen liable for military service, who is in the reserve, has changed his place of residence for a period of more than three months, even in the absence of registration at a new address, he is obliged by law to register himself for military service. When changing registration, it is necessary to notify the military registration and enlistment office of this within two weeks.
Who will not be punished for not appearing in the draft board
A good reason for not appearing on the agenda, in accordance with Article 7 of Law No. 53 “On military duty and military service”, is a disease or injury associated with loss of working capacity, the serious state of health of close relatives or participation in their funeral, force majeure obstacle, and as well as other reasons that will be recognized by the commission or the court as valid. The impossibility of the planned visit should be reported by phone, indicated in the agenda.
It is worth noting that all of the above reasons do not cancel the obligation to still appear at the military registration and enlistment office. This must be done as soon as the opportunity arises.
How much time is allotted for fees to the military registration and enlistment office
After receiving the agenda the citizen is obliged to appear at the specified place within the period indicated in the document. It is handed, as a rule, no later than three days before the appointed date of the visit.
What will happen in the military registration and enlistment office
A visit to the draft board after receiving a summons does not mean that you will immediately be sent to the front line. A citizen is considered mobilized only after he appears at the military commissariat, undergoes a medical examination, the mobilization commission decides on his admission to military service, and the military commissar issues an appropriate decree. From this moment, the mobilized person receives the rights and obligations of a contract serviceman.
During a medical examination, the commission may recognize a person as unfit for military service. As the doctors say, absolute contraindications, as before, will be the absence of limbs or, for example, blindness in one eye. A complete list of diseases for which mobilization is not possible can be found in position about military medical expertise. Only citizens with categories A – fit without restrictions and B – fit with minor restrictions fall under partial mobilization.
PAfter being drafted, the mobilized will undergo additional military training, which will last more than a month. Medical examinations will also take place at this time, and if someone is found to have health problems, this may also be grounds for termination of service.
