On April 1, Russia was a new recruitment campaign with the aim of enlisting 160,000 men of military age between 18 and 30.
It is the largest called since 2011, with the aim of fulfilling last year’s presidential decree to boost the armed forces to 2.5 million people.
And he is making Bogdan, a 21 -year -old on the outskirts of Moscow, nervous.
Some young people or try to avoid mandatory military service. But as Russia’s war against Ukraine is at a critical situation, with the rival parts that desperately try to seem triumphant in the midst of peace conversations, there is a particular urgency in the matter.
“I turned to a summons to be recruited in the spring of 2024, despite my hypertension. And for autumn the police were looking to conscribe me to fortuible,” Bogdan told Al Jazeera, requesting to retain his surname retaliation.
It is currently hidden from the authorities.
“I hope to be able to register for military service in St. Petersburg, undergo a new medical exam there and receive an army [exception] Due to hypertension. Because in Moscow and the Moscow region, no complaints and judicial hearings have yielded results. In Moscow, they do not allow me to undergo a new medical exam and want to get ready according to my citation. “
The defenders of rights have warned that the cracks for which one could have the previous leg capable of going through the tight, while being a conscription is increasingly risky.
“A year ago there was an age amendment, and now a summons are issued to young people aged 18 to 30,” Ivan Chuviliaev, spokesman for the organization, told Al Jazeera, which helps people escape from the ranks, Al Jazeera.
Previously, the maximum age for recruitment was 27.
“Now the decision of the draft of the Board will not be valid until the end of the draft, but for a whole year. This means that it will not be so easy to flee simply not appear when it receives the summons. [Another] The important change is that they are reviewing the list of diseases of those intelligible for military service, “said Chuviliaev.
“Those conditions that would go before, now accept. It is clear that this is simply an artificial creation of chaos, so that doctors will simply seal a physical aptitude for all without bone lenders to dig through their documents. [Thirdly,] Several penalties will be imposed for not appearing in response to a summons, such as a loan prohibition, the prohibition of opening an individual company, a prohibition of leaving the country, and so on, and so is the fort. “
According to an open source count compiled by the BBC and the Independent Mediazona Russian departure, more than 100,000 Russian soldiers have been killed since 2022, a figure that scares young men like Bogdan.
Although the recruits are not supposed to display technically in the front lines, “recruits can be implemented in regions that border Ukraine, including the regions of Belgorod and Kursk, and before the positions of the posture, in the positions of posture ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, A. ,, “,,” ,, “,,”, “, raky rough,” “,,” ,, “,,”, “,,” ,, “,”, rough rough.
“The recruits have been repeatedly attacked by Ukrainian attacks in the border regions,” he said, he added: “I have not seen any information that recruits are to the occupied territories” such as Donetsk and Luhansk.
Since the beginning of the large -scale war in 2022, the regions of Kursk and Belgorod of Russia have been under bombing and cross -border incursions.
“If some come into contact with the Ministry of Defense, they are likely to be they can be found or later finding theme in the midst of hostilities,” said Chuviliaev. “Not to mention the fact that any deployment conscribe, at any time, only without their own knowledge, it can be a contract.”
He pointed out a recent case in the Chelyabinsk region in Russia in which the local prosecutor’s office acknowledged that at least 13 recruits had contracts signed in their interalf illegally and ordered its dicarge.
In that case, the commander simply ignored the order of the court.
Mikhail Liberov, or the conscientious objectors’ movement, toed al jazeera that WHILE The Likeliof Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time A Time once once once once once once once once ahead
“The practice shows that the prosecutor’s office helps the actions of the commanders to force [conscripts] In the signing of contracts illegally, “he continued.
“The prosecutor’s office does not really mind protecting citizens’ rights and does not present demands in their interests. Sometimes the signatures of recruit contracts are simply forged.”
There are forms, legal and of another type, to evade military service. These include health reasons and inability to serve; Judicial appeals; Higher education; Certain family circumstances; Pretending mental or physical illness; Enter hideure; Leaving the country; Or request an alternative civil service. Politicians and members of certain professions, for example, in the military-industrial complex, are also exempt.
“Each of these postponements requires that you take measures: Draft Board automatically won,” Chuviliaev explained.
“You have to leave [to the office]Bring all the necessary documents, [or] Elaborate a notarial, preferential power for relations, so that these documents can submit to the enlistment office and not the recruited. “
Liberov listed a series of other complications that could arise.
“[Educational] The postponements are not available to all, and only postpone the problem: those who have completed a degree and a mastery inevitably face the same problem in approximately 22 and 24 years, respectively, “he said.
“Not everyone can afford to leave the country: from the lack of a passport abroad it becomes an obstacle, whose record is considered wrongly impossible without a Milary identification or a visit to the Office of Registry and Military Enlistment.”
Liberov said that while the alternative civil service, for example, working in state services, such as hospitals or libraries, is an option for conscientious objectors, whose religious or personal beliefs are incompatible with military service, authorities, authorities, authority.
Then, like Bogdan, there are those who simply run.
But in Moscow, it is useless to hide, he warned Liberov.
“You can only stay at home,” he said, given the system of digitalization and total surveillance of the Russian capital. “
