Conscription in the army spring. In great shape

Serving in the army is the duty of every adult male citizen of the Russian Federation. Conscription to the army in 2018 has a number of important features, because almost every year there are new requirements for military service.

Regulatory legal acts define the conditions that must be met, because military service must be carried out by men who are ready for this according to their physical data, and they must also correspond to the draft age! The defense of the Fatherland in Russia, a multinational country, is strictly obligatory and has always been honorable, but in some regions there are also quite specific and important features for potential recruits.

Military service in 2018

What are the main features of urgent conscription into the army? In Russia, all adult male citizens of the country who have no contraindications due to their status or health must serve. Future conscripts must undergo a whole range of important events that are strictly necessary for everyone to go through:

  • at the age of 16, you must register with the military and receive a registration certificate;
  • having reached military age and having received a summons, it is strictly necessary to visit the military commissariat at the designated time;
  • the summons must be handed over personally to the conscript against his signature;
  • in case of failure to appear on the agenda, the legislation provides for administrative and criminal liability.

Passing a medical examination

After receiving the summons, a strict medical examination will follow, all future privates of the Russian army will certainly pass it, except for those who have a legal deferment. The medical commission, after a thorough comprehensive examination, will decide whether the conscript is fit for full-fledged military service. In total, the current legislation provides for 5 categories of fitness for military service:

  • fit;
  • suitable with few restrictions;
  • has a limited validity;
  • temporarily unfit for military service;
  • unfit.

It happens that the commission cannot, due to various controversial circumstances, make an unambiguous decision. In this case, the conscript is redirected to an inpatient or outpatient examination at a licensed medical institution. After a full treatment and the decision of the doctors, a new term for conscription is assigned. The next important step in sending to the army will be a medical report. A qualified draft board will issue its final verdict to the recruit. According to this conclusion, the future date is sent to send:

  • for military service;
  • call him for alternative civilian service;
  • grant a reprieve;
  • conduct an exemption from conscription;
  • put in reserve;
  • on legitimate grounds to grant freedom from military duty.

Russian legislation provides for enrollment in the reserve upon reaching 27 years. Since that time, a man is not subject to military service, regardless of the state of health.

Service life and time of organization of conscription into the army

The terms of conscription in the future 2018 provide for two calls - spring, which starts from April 01 and ends on July 15, and there is also an autumn one, which will last from October 01 to December 31 inclusive. during these periods.

Important!

There are several important exceptions to the rules - citizens of military age from the Far North will receive their summonses from May 1 to July 15, and also from November 1 to December 31. Those who live in rural areas and are engaged in harvesting and sowing work have a full right to implement the draft in the autumn - from October 15 to December 31. Teachers have such an opportunity - for the spring call from May 01 to July 15.

  • ground troops;
  • air Force;
  • Navy;
  • strategic missile troops;

A citizen will not be obliged to join the 2018 army if he:

  • has a permanent job in the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
  • works in the Federal Security Service;
  • belongs to the staff of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

There is an important limitation - if a citizen nevertheless decides to quit from there, but at that moment he is not 27 years old, then he will definitely receive a mandatory summons from the military registration and enlistment office!

  • adult men who have one or more convictions that are not expired;

They will take you into the army if you were expelled from the university and you are studying by correspondence.

Diseases for which they are not called up for service

Diseases for which they do not take to serve in the army are quite numerous. You can divide them into several large subgroups.

Diseases of the musculoskeletal system

Musculoskeletal disorders that are not accepted into the army - scoliosis of the 2nd degree with a deformation of at least 11 degrees, flat feet, called the bear foot in the 3rd stage, deformities and other diseases of the hands or feet - for example, the absence of several fingers, arthrosis and arthritis of the second degree or higher, affecting the legs.

Cardiovascular pathologies

If the conscript has hypertension - pressure exceeding the threshold of 150 over 90,
chronic vegetovascular dystonia, which is quite severe - periodic fainting and constant dizziness, the presence of heart disease and ischemia. We have listed the most important deviations that occur in real practice.

hearing problems

The presence of chronic otitis media and complete deafness can become an insurmountable obstacle to military service.

Diseases of the digestive system

Difficulties with the digestive system may well lead to a delay in military service. Such a reason may be a hernia, which limits the patency of the intestine, pancreatitis in its chronic form, stomach and duodenal ulcers, hemorrhoids. Gallstone disease is a serious disease that prevents service.

Problems with the genitourinary system

They do not take into the army conscripts with chronic enuresis, urolithiasis and dropsy of the testicle, sexual dysfunction and hyperplasia.

Other chronic diseases

A barrier to service will be stuttering, which seriously distorts speech, diabetes mellitus, and obesity above the 2nd degree. Patients with chronic hemorrhoids, tuberculosis, HIV, hepatitis, oncological diseases are also not useful in military service. Mental problems are a serious reason for exemption from the army:

  • the appearance of obsessive states;
  • pronounced phobias;
  • chronic schizophrenia;
  • pathology of the respiratory system.

The presence of chronic alcoholics and drug addicts in the army is contraindicated, but it will be strictly necessary to confirm the presence of a permanent persistent addiction, which is confirmed by the relevant documents!

You can find a complete list of diseases with which they are not taken into the army in 2018 (disease schedule) at.

What categories of citizens are granted a deferment from military service?

A deferment for a potential soldier is just a temporary opportunity to avoid the obligation to serve in the army. Together with its end, you will have to repay your homeland. The official reason not to go to the service for a strictly defined period is:

  • state of temporary unfitness for service;
  • caring for a sick relative who is currently no one to look after;
  • the presence of a disabled child under 3 years;
  • pregnant wife for more than 26 weeks;
  • PhD students defending their thesis;
  • postponement due to studying at a higher or secondary educational institution;
  • a deferment for a student who needs to get time to enter a university or college.

Important!

The postponement will be carried out only if the necessary documents are available - a diploma of education, a certificate of admission to graduate school, a medical certificate indicating the presence of serious health problems

The number of implemented deferrals is unlimited - you can get them not only after graduation, but also when a student transitions from a bachelor's program to a master's program. You can only take advantage of the call-up delay when studying at an officially licensed institution!

Various forms of military service

Since 2017, the state has been providing conscripts with the opportunity to independently choose the form of implementation of military debt to the country. Can choose:

  • alternative service for 21 months;
  • contract service with the receipt of full monetary and clothing allowance;
  • complete military service for a year.

By 2018, you can independently choose which military service seems more attractive to you.

Important!

It is planned to gradually reduce the proportion of conscripts in the army, gradually replacing them with professionals. By 2020, more than 85% of its personnel should serve in the army on a contract basis.

Features of conscription in the army in 2018

According to the constitution, men from all regions of Russia are subject to service, but there are several features of the call. Conscripts from the Crimea serve only on the territory of their peninsula, and in the Chechen Republic for several previous years, young men were not called up because of some local specifics. Natives of Chukotka, the Yamalo-Nenets District and Yakutia must serve, but the draft there is adjusted, starting only on May 1 and ending on July 15. In terms of its term in 2018, the service life will remain familiar - 1 year.

Conscription for military service in the Russian Federation is carried out in two stages, which are traditionally called autumn and spring conscription. These events are named after the time they begin.

Spring recruitment dates for 2020

Let's find out when the spring call starts in 2020? Like last year, the draft commissions will begin their work on the first day of the draft. The beginning of the spring call and the end date are given below. Thus, in 2020, the terms of conscription into the army remained unchanged.

When does the 2020 spring conscription start?

All children of military age at the moment, no doubt, are concerned about the question of when the spring conscription begins in 2020 for military service. According to the legal documents of the Russian Federation, this year, however, as in the past, Spring recruitment starts April 1st. This date for someone is associated with humor and fun, but not for young recruits and their relatives. As a rule, the start date of the spring draft is already the date of the first medical commissions in the military enlistment office. Now you know what date the spring conscription begins.

When does the spring call end?

Unlike the autumn conscription, which averages 91 days, the spring conscription lasts 15 more days, that is, 106 days. In other words, the 2020 spring call ends July 15. In this regard, university graduates who successfully defended their theses should remember that they have a valid deferral until August 31. However, everywhere newly minted specialists / masters / bachelors are handed subpoenas precisely in the spring call-up, usually at the beginning of summer.

Spring Conscription 2020, Recruit Service Life

Surely, many guys have heard about the increase in service life to 1.8 years in 2020, however, actively disseminating information in the media on this topic, these rumors turned out to be someone's invention. The young men who will be drafted into the army in the spring draft of 2020 will serve 12 months(1 year) despite all the rumors about changing the service life.

Innovations in the spring conscription 2020

This year, each conscript will receive a so-called travel bag - a unified stylish bag with personal hygiene products, which will certainly increase the comfort of service and simplify the answer to the question "What to take with you to the army?" Now every soldier will have a set of shaving accessories, a manicure set and a considerable set of useful little things. As before, recruitment is underway for scientific companies, however, in order to enter these units, it is necessary to pass a competitive selection due to the limited number of places. Also new for the 2020 spring conscription is the introduction of daytime sleep for conscripts.

Exceptions to recruitment periods

According to the provisions of the federal law "On military duty and military service", there are certain exceptions to the terms of conscription for certain categories of Russians. Let's take a closer look at each of these exceptions.

For citizens living in certain areas of the Far North, there are reduced terms of conscription. In this case, the call begins 1 month later than in other regions of the Russian Federation. You can find out whether a particular region belongs to the region of the Far North in the regulatory documents of the Russian Federation. So the spring call in such regions begins on May 1. When does the 2020 spring conscription for citizens living in the northern regions of Russia end? The call ends on the same date as in other regions of the Russian Federation, that is, on July 15.

Another category of citizens for whom the exceptional terms of the spring conscription are valid are pedagogical workers / teachers working in educational institutions. For such citizens, the term of spring conscription begins on May 1 and ends on July 15. But in the autumn conscription, teachers / educators are not called at all.

The last category of citizens with special terms of conscription into the army are residents / workers in the agricultural sector. The spring conscription for these citizens is not valid, they can only be called up for service in the fall during the autumn conscription, which will begin for them on October 15, unlike all other citizens, for whom the autumn conscription begins on October 1.

What does the spring call include?

The concept of conscription is extremely important, and the conscript must know what this process involves. So the first and, in fact, determining the outcome of the following stages is such an event as a medical examination of a young conscript in the military registration and enlistment office.

Next, a meeting of the district draft board takes place, at which, based on the results of the medical board, a decision is made about the fate of the young man regarding military service. So a young man can be sent to the service, released from conscription, or called for a second medical examination to the military registration and enlistment office in six months due to temporary health problems.

If a decision is made to call a young man for the spring draft, he will be issued a so-called combat summons, that is, a summons to be sent to a military unit to serve.

In practice, conscripts are issued a summons to the army immediately after the medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office, if the young man is recognized as fit for health reasons. In this case, the decision of the draft board is issued "retroactively", which is naturally a violation of the current legislation of the Russian Federation, but this violation is widespread everywhere.

Another popular violation of the rights of conscripts is the holding of the above-mentioned recruiting events outside the terms of the spring draft. The key concept here is "terms of conscription". The results of activities carried out outside these deadlines have no legal force, which means that on their basis it is impossible to recognize a young man, for example, as fit to serve in the army. If a young man is called for a medical examination in January, such a call is illegal, and the military registration and enlistment office officers are well aware of this. In this case, it is not necessary to appear on this medical examination. The court will be on the side of the conscript in the event of an attempt to hold the young man accountable for not appearing at such an event outside the terms of the call.

In our country, conscription for military service of citizens who are not in the reserve is carried out twice a year. The terms of the draft campaign are set for the selection of young men based on the results of a medical examination and sending them to the place of military service. In this article, we will tell you when the draft begins in the fall, when it ends, as well as what legal ways there are to avoid the army. This information may be useful to anyone who may be affected by the 2020 fall draft, the timing of which is regulated by federal law.

Fall recruitment dates

Federal Law No. 53 of March 28, 1998 "On military duty and military service" clearly defines the timing of the spring and autumn conscription into the army. According to this document, the conscription in the fall begins on October 1 and ends on December 31. The basis for the start of the draft campaign is the publication of the relevant decrees of the President of the Russian Federation.

There are several separate categories of citizens who are called up under special conditions in 2020:

  • Recruits living in the Far North are called to serve in the army from November 1 to December 31. A complete list of districts and localities that belong to these territories is determined by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
  • Conscripts who live in rural areas and are directly involved in harvesting work are called up from October 15 to December 31. To meet these deadlines, they will need to officially confirm the fact of their participation in the autumn harvest.
  • Pedagogical workers are not drafted into the army in autumn. This is due to the fact that the call in the fall of 2020 coincides with the beginning of the school year. That is why teachers are called up not in the fall, but only next spring.

It is worth noting one important nuance that is of great importance for the young men who will be called up in the autumn of 2020. We are talking about the delivery of subpoenas issued in order to clarify information in military registration documents. Such subpoenas can be issued at any time of the year. That is why some employees of the military registration and enlistment offices call conscripts to check the data, handing over subpoenas for the medical examination. If such a medical examination is held in summer or winter, it is considered illegal, so its results can be appealed in court.

When does Fall 2020 recruitment start?

On September 28, 2018, Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the start of the autumn conscription. This decree can be found on the official portal of legal information. This year, the military commissariats plan to call up 132.5 thousand citizens of the Russian Federation aged 18 to 27 to serve in the army.

How to avoid being drafted in the fall?

Let us consider in more detail the three categories of citizens who are not called to serve, and also have the right to receive full exemption from military service or deferment for a certain time. The first category includes youths who have been imprisoned for committing criminal offences. In addition, the army does not threaten those who have been sentenced to compulsory or corrective labor, have an unexpunged or outstanding criminal record. This category also includes young people who are under investigation or whose criminal cases have already been brought to court.

The second category is conscripts who cannot legally serve in the armed forces for health reasons. In addition to them, young men with an academic degree, as well as sons or brothers of the military who died during the service, are not sent to military service.

  • schoolchildren, full-time students and graduate students;
  • young men who care for close relatives;
  • guardians of minor brothers or sisters;
  • guys who are single-handedly raising a child;
  • fathers with two or more children;
  • fathers with one child and a pregnant wife;
  • young people raising a disabled child under the age of three;
  • persons who work in the bodies of the penitentiary system or the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
  • deputies of the State Duma or representative bodies of state power;
  • candidates for positions in public authorities or local self-government.

Legal assistance to conscripts

The authorities of Ecuador have deprived Julian Assange of asylum in the London embassy. The founder of WikiLeaks is detained by the British police, and this has already been called the biggest betrayal in the history of Ecuador. Why is Assange being avenged and what awaits him?

Julian Assange, a programmer and journalist from Australia, became widely known after the website WikiLeaks, founded by him, published secret documents of the US State Department, as well as materials related to military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2010.

But it was quite difficult to find out who the policemen, supporting by the arms, were taking out of the building. Assange grew a beard and did not look at all like the energetic man that he had so far presented in photographs.

According to Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno, Assange's asylum was denied because of his repeated violations of international conventions.

He is expected to remain at a police station in central London until he appears before Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Why the President of Ecuador is accused of betrayal

Former President of Ecuador Rafael Correa called the decision of the current government the biggest betrayal in the history of the country. "What he (Moreno. - Approx. ed.) did is a crime that humanity will never forget," Correa said.

London, on the contrary, thanked Moreno. The British Foreign Office believes that justice has prevailed. The representative of the Russian diplomatic department, Maria Zakharova, has a different opinion. "The hand of 'democracy' is squeezing the throat of freedom," she said. The Kremlin expressed the hope that the rights of the arrested person would be respected.

Ecuador harbored Assange because the former president was center-left, critical of US policy, and welcomed WikiLeaks' release of classified documents on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even before the Internet activist needed asylum, he managed to get to know Correa personally: he interviewed him for the Russia Today channel.

However, in 2017, the government in Ecuador changed, the country headed for rapprochement with the United States. The new president called Assange "a stone in the shoe" and immediately made it clear that his stay on the territory of the embassy would not be delayed.

According to Correa, the moment of truth came at the end of June last year, when US Vice President Michael Pence arrived in Ecuador on a visit. Then everything was decided. "You can be sure: Lenin is just a hypocrite. He has already agreed with the Americans about the fate of Assange. And now he is trying to make us swallow the pill, saying that Ecuador allegedly continues the dialogue," Correa said in an interview with Russia Today.

How Assange made new enemies

The day before his arrest, WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristin Hrafnsson said that Assange was under total surveillance. "WikiLeaks uncovered a massive spy operation against Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy," he said. According to him, cameras and voice recorders were placed around Assange, and the information received was transmitted to the administration of Donald Trump.

Hrafnsson specified that Assange was going to be expelled from the embassy a week earlier. This did not happen only because WikiLeaks made this information public. A high-ranking source told the portal about the plans of the Ecuadorian authorities, but the head of the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry, Jose Valencia, denied the rumors.

Assange's expulsion was preceded by a corruption scandal involving Moreno. In February, WikiLeaks published the INA Papers package, which traced the operations of the offshore company INA Investment, founded by the brother of the Ecuadorian leader. In Quito, they said that this was a plot by Assange with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and former head of Ecuador Rafael Correa to overthrow Moreno.

In early April, Moreno complained about Assange's behavior in Ecuador's London mission. “We have to protect the life of Mr. Assange, but he has already crossed all the lines in terms of violating the agreement that we reached with him,” the president said. “This does not mean that he cannot speak freely, but he cannot lie and hack ". At the same time, back in February last year, it became known that Assange at the embassy was deprived of the opportunity to interact with the outside world, in particular, he was turned off access to the Internet.

Why Sweden stopped persecuting Assange

At the end of last year, Western media, citing sources, reported that Assange would be charged in the United States. This was never officially confirmed, but it was precisely because of Washington's position that Assange had to take refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy six years ago.

Sweden, in May 2017, stopped investigating two cases of rape in which the founder of the portal was accused. Assange demanded compensation from the country's government for legal costs in the amount of 900,000 euros.

Earlier, in 2015, Swedish prosecutors also dropped three charges against him due to the statute of limitations.

Where did the rape investigation lead?

Assange arrived in Sweden in the summer of 2010, hoping to get protection from US authorities. But he was under investigation for rape. In November 2010, a warrant for his arrest was issued in Stockholm, and Assange was put on the international wanted list. He was detained in London, but was soon released on bail of 240 thousand pounds.

In February 2011, a British court ruled to extradite Assange to Sweden, followed by a series of successful appeals for the founder of WikiLeaks.

The British authorities placed him under house arrest before deciding to extradite him to Sweden. Breaking his promise to the authorities, Assange asked for asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy, ​​which was granted to him. Since then, the UK has had its own grievances against the founder of WikiLeaks.

What's next for Assange?

The man was re-arrested following a U.S. extradition request for publishing classified documents, police said. At the same time, Deputy Foreign Minister Alan Duncan said that Assange would not be sent to the United States if he faced the death penalty there.

In the UK, Assange is likely to appear in court on the afternoon of 11 April. This is stated on the WikiLeaks Twitter page. It is likely that the British authorities will seek a maximum sentence of 12 months, the man's mother said, citing his lawyer.

At the same time, the Swedish prosecutor's office is considering reopening the investigation into the rape allegation. Lawyer Elizabeth Massey Fritz, who represented the interests of the victim, will seek this.

In Russia, another draft campaign will soon begin. What are the deadlines for the autumn conscription of 2018, if any innovations, experts say.

Young people of draft age should prepare for military service in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The deadlines for the autumn conscription have been approved, the Ministry of Defense recalls that conscription can only be made during this period, any deviations are considered illegal.

Passing military service

In Russia, all adult male citizens of the country who have no contraindications due to their status or health must serve. Future conscripts must undergo a whole range of important events that are strictly necessary for everyone to go through:

  • at the age of 16, you must register with the military and receive a registration certificate;
  • having reached military age and having received a summons, it is strictly necessary to visit the military commissariat at the designated time;
  • the summons must be handed over personally to the conscript against his signature;
  • in case of failure to appear on the agenda, the legislation provides for administrative and criminal liability.

Terms of the recruiting company 2018

We note right away that everything you need to know about the autumn draft into the army is contained in the federal law "On military duty and military service." It also refers to the timing of the draft campaign.

According to Article 25, the autumn conscription this year will begin as usual on October 1st and will last for three months, until December 31st. It is worth noting that before the start of the draft campaign, as a rule, a special decree of the President of Russia is published, on the basis of which this campaign is carried out. In particular, in it the head of state (aka the supreme commander) determines the required number of conscripts.

Only now, not for all young people, the autumn call begins on the first day of the second autumn month. So the exception is:

  • residents of the regions of the Far North: they begin to be called up a month after the official start of the draft campaign, that is, from November 1;
  • villagers involved in harvesting: they begin to send summons only on October 15;
  • pedagogical workers: for them, the autumn conscription is not carried out at all in connection with the beginning of the school year.

Life time

In 2018, as before, young people will have to spend 1 year in the army. Earlier, the media scared the young men that the term could be extended to 1 year and 8 months, but this information has not been confirmed by anything: the Ministry of Defense is not going to make any changes yet.

Medical Commission

After receiving the summons, a strict medical examination will follow, all future privates of the Russian army will certainly pass it, except for those who have a legal deferment. The medical commission, after a thorough comprehensive examination, will decide whether the conscript is fit for full-fledged military service. In total, the current legislation provides for 5 categories of fitness for military service:

  • fit;
  • suitable with few restrictions;
  • has a limited validity;
  • temporarily unfit for military service;
  • unfit.

It happens that the commission cannot, due to various controversial circumstances, make an unambiguous decision. In this case, the conscript is redirected to an inpatient or outpatient examination at a licensed medical institution. After a full treatment and the decision of the doctors, a new term for conscription is assigned. The next important step in sending to the army will be a medical report. A qualified draft board will issue its final verdict to the recruit. According to this conclusion, the future soldier is sent to send:

  • for military service;
  • call him for alternative civilian service;
  • grant a reprieve;
  • conduct an exemption from conscription;
  • put in reserve;
  • on legitimate grounds to grant freedom from military duty.

Russian legislation provides for enrollment in the reserve upon reaching 27 years. Since that time, a man is not subject to military service, regardless of the state of health.

Innovations in the autumn call 2018

The modernization of the Russian army (including the principles and conditions of military service) began several years ago, a lot of new things have appeared in the army, but no global changes are expected in the autumn draft of 2018.

The innovations that appeared earlier are, we recall, the creation of scientific companies. Only senior students and university graduates can be in them, and on a competitive basis: in the scientific unit of the RF Armed Forces there are only 12 companies with a total number of about 600 people (0.2% of all recruits), the competition is currently 25 young men per place .

The conditions for military service have become more comfortable: a soldier is allowed to have a mobile phone (you can use it at certain hours), in the afternoon they are entitled to “quiet time” - free time that you can spend at your discretion, and lights out starts half an hour later.

Conscripts are provided with a travel bag (soap, shampoo, creams and other hygiene products). University graduates can sign up for contract service instead of military service: they will have to stay in the army longer - 2 years, but such a service has a number of its advantages (vacation, salary payment, etc.).

The number of recruits who will be called up in the fall of 2018 has not been announced. In the spring, 128,000 young people went to the army.

What troops will you serve?

In 2018, a potential recruit can get into the following types of troops:

  • ground troops;
  • air Force;
  • Navy;
  • strategic missile troops;
  • space troops;
  • airborne troops.

The specialty possessed by the conscript and the state of health are important. Traditionally, only the strongest and most physically resilient young people with a strong psyche and good health are taken to the Airborne Forces.

Who will not be required to join the army in 2018

A citizen will not be obliged to join the 2018 army if he:

  • has a permanent job in the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
  • works in the Federal Security Service;
  • belongs to the staff of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

There is an important limitation - if a citizen nevertheless decides to quit from there, but at that moment he is not 27 years old, then he will definitely receive a mandatory summons from the military registration and enlistment office!

Active military service will be avoided by:

  • adult men who have one or more convictions that are not expired;
  • citizens who are under investigation for a crime committed or under trial will avoid conscription;
  • serving their sentences in a penitentiary.
  • a university student will not serve if he receives full-time education;
  • graduate students;
  • the appearance of a second child in a legal marriage;
  • fathers who, due to insurmountable circumstances, are forced to raise the baby on their own and without support, are not subject to conscription;
  • guardians of elderly citizens who have sick relatives as dependents:
  • young men with very serious health problems will not join the ranks of the Russian army.

There are several more categories of citizens who legally may not serve in the army - foreigners who have served in the armed forces of another state and future military personnel who have lost their older brothers during clashes in hot spots. They will take you into the army if you were expelled from the university and you are studying by correspondence.

Diseases for which they do not take into the army

Diseases for which they do not take to serve in the army are quite numerous. You can divide them into several large subgroups.

Diseases of the musculoskeletal system

Musculoskeletal disorders that are not accepted into the army - scoliosis of the 2nd degree with a deformation of at least 11 degrees, flat feet, called the bear foot in the 3rd stage, deformities and other diseases of the hands or feet - for example, the absence of several fingers, arthrosis and arthritis of the second degree or higher, affecting the legs.

Diseases of the organs of vision

Poor vision - an important barrier to military service is cataracts, retinal detachment, severe myopia of more than -6, progressive farsightedness, glaucoma, eye injuries or the absence of one eye.

Cardiovascular pathologies

If the conscript has hypertension - pressure exceeding the threshold of 150 over 90,
chronic vegetovascular dystonia, which is quite severe - periodic fainting and constant dizziness, the presence of heart disease and ischemia. We have listed the most important deviations that occur in real practice.

hearing problems

The presence of chronic otitis media and complete deafness can become an insurmountable obstacle to military service.

Diseases of the digestive system

Difficulties with the digestive system may well lead to a delay in military service. Such a reason may be a hernia, which limits the patency of the intestine, pancreatitis in its chronic form, stomach and duodenal ulcers, hemorrhoids. Gallstone disease is a serious disease that interferes with service.

Problems with the genitourinary system

They do not take into the army conscripts with chronic enuresis, urolithiasis and dropsy of the testicle, sexual dysfunction and hyperplasia.

Other chronic diseases

A barrier to service will be stuttering, which seriously distorts speech, diabetes mellitus, and obesity above the 2nd degree. Patients with chronic hemorrhoids, tuberculosis, HIV, hepatitis, oncological diseases are also not useful in military service. Mental problems are a serious reason for exemption from the army:

  • the appearance of obsessive states;
  • pronounced phobias;
  • chronic schizophrenia;
  • pathology of the respiratory system.

The presence of chronic alcoholics and drug addicts in the army is contraindicated, but it will be strictly necessary to confirm the presence of a permanent persistent addiction, which is confirmed by the relevant documents!

Postponement from service

A deferment for a potential soldier is just a temporary opportunity to avoid the obligation to serve in the army. Together with its end, you will have to repay your homeland. The official reason not to go to the service for a strictly defined period is:

  • state of temporary unfitness for service;
  • caring for a sick relative who is currently no one to look after;
  • the presence of a disabled child under 3 years;
  • pregnant wife for more than 26 weeks;
  • PhD students defending their thesis;
  • postponement due to studying at a higher or secondary educational institution;
  • a deferment for a student who needs to get time to enter a university or college.

The postponement will be carried out only if the necessary documents are available - a diploma of education, a certificate of admission to graduate school, a medical certificate indicating the presence of serious health problems

The number of implemented deferrals is unlimited - you can get them not only at the end of school, but also when a student transitions from a bachelor's program to a master's program. You can only take advantage of the call-up delay when studying at an officially licensed institution!
