More than 4 thousand Tatarstan citizens to leave for military service this autumn
1 October 2013, Tuesday
150 Russian citizens, including 4 thousand people from Tatarstan will leave for military service this autumn.
This year’s draft is special because amendments to the Federal law “Concerning Military Duty and Military Service” have come into force since August, 1 and September, 1, Military Commissar Sergey Pogodin said. According to amendments, citizens who did military service in another state will be exempted from the military service in Russia only if they have relative international contracts.
Besides, students attending preliminary causes at federal state universities right after finishing school will be given draft deferment for no more than 1 year. Postgraduate and residency students being on probation have the right for draft determent as well.
Sergey Pogodin noted that the number of draft evaders will be reduced eventually. This year about 20 thousand people will be sent for draft board in Tatarstan. By and large, more than 4 thousand citizens will be called up to the military service in the Armed forces, internal military forces and other military forces.
