Not so often, but people say that they do not receive a summons from the draft board. What to do in such a situation? How to act so that there are no problems in the future? Lawyers often ask about all this. After all, military duty is a responsibility that rests with all adult male citizens. So, you need to bring it to life. In Russia, criminal liability is provided for failure to appear in the military enlistment office upon request. To avoid it, you need to know how to act in this situation. So what to do if the agenda has not arrived? Should I be afraid of any responsibility? Understanding all this is easier than it sounds.
Who is being called
First you need to understand who in Russia can, in principle, get a summons from the military enlistment office. Section 10, “Military Responsibilities of Citizens,” in the Law on Military Duty, provides detailed information.
The category of recipients of summons for military service in the army includes the entire adult able-bodied population of the Russian Federation male. In other words, young people from 18 years old. It is from this age that citizens begin to receive summons for passing the commission, as well as for military service.
The draft age in Russia is up to 27 years inclusive. Accordingly, it is up to this point that a citizen can receive a summons of an established form. After serving in the army, the indicated paper is no longer sent.
Accounting obligations
The summons from the draft board does not come - what should a citizen do? According to the relevant law, the entire male population is subject to compulsory military registration. Even retired citizens.
According to article 10 of the law "On Military Duty", persons who have received a summons of an established form are required to come to the military commissariat at the place of registration within the indicated time period. First - for the medical commission, then - for the direct passage of military service.
If a citizen changes his place of residence, then he must independently deregister at one military registration and enlistment office, and also register in a new one. It applies to cases when a person is absent at the place of registration for more than 3 months. Or if he travels outside the Russian Federation for more than six months.
Responsibility for Evasion
The indicated categories of persons must receive a summons to the draft board without fail. Failure to appear, as already mentioned, is regarded as evasion from the performance of their duties to the state. For this relies on criminal liability. To what extent?
For example, the payment of a fine. Its size reaches 200,000 rubles. Either a citizen's earnings are removed for a maximum of 1.5 years. As an alternative punishment - an arrest of 3-6 months or imprisonment of up to 1.5 years.
In addition, draft dodgers are currently being “tagged” in Russia. The relevant information about the failure to appear at the military commissariat at the place of residence is entered in the personal file. And in the future this person will bring a lot of problems. Therefore, many people think about what to do if a summons from the military enlistment office does not come.
Not everyone
No need to panic. The thing is that criminal liability of one type or another is provided only for situations when a person received a summons. Otherwise, the punishment does not take place.
Not everyone receives the corresponding document in the first call. There are many conscripts in Russia. Every year there are more and more of them. Therefore, many are put in the queue.
In addition, one should not be surprised if a guy is studying at a university, and he does not receive a summons. During training, the corresponding paper should not bother the student. If she came, it is enough to provide the military enlistment office with documents indicating training at a university. And then you can forget about military duty for some time.
There is also no need to panic if the summons from the military registration and enlistment office does not come to a person who has received disability status since childhood or during the period of study at school. And for an incurable disease. This is a normal occurrence - only healthy citizens are taken into the army. Or with minor health flaws. But you should not be afraid of the agenda - it will be enough to confirm disability at the medical board. And no more documents and no anxiety from the military enlistment office does not threaten.
Attributed Certificate
Before serving in the army, citizens are issued the so-called registration certificate from the military registration and enlistment office. How to get it? To do this, you need to contact the military commissariat at the place of registration. Usually this document is drawn up without any problems. It is supposed to be issued to teenage boys at the age of 16-17. Immediately after military training.
The registered certificate gives in the future the status of a draftee. If for some reason the student did not receive a summons for military training, and he does not have an appropriate document, it is worthwhile to apply for it yourself.
But where does the attributed certificate from the military registration and enlistment office come from? How to get it? You need to contact the military commissariat for registration with an identity card. Then go through military training and get the appropriate document. It is requested by universities and employers. There is nothing difficult about this. After receiving the relevant document, you can wait for adulthood and an invitation to a medical board.
Expectation
The summons from the military registration and enlistment office does not come - what to do? Do not panic and just wait. Responsibility for failure to appear will not be until it is proved that the person received the appropriate notification.
If the summons has not arrived before the age of 27, then you can find out the address of the military registration and enlistment office at the place of residence and get a certificate of a "draft evader" there. In some cases, citizens are issued a military ID. Especially if not military service was the fault of the military commissariat. Sometimes it happens that one of the recruits is “forgotten” to send an invitation to the medical board. This is not a reason to panic.
Much depends on the wishes of the citizen. A law-abiding person will not sit and be silent about the fact that he does not receive a summons. But in Russia, such phenomena are rare. And, as practice shows, many use them. Therefore, you can just wait your turn.
Intimidation and evidence
Sometimes the population is intimidated. This is especially true for citizens who, until 27 years of age, did not receive a summons in principle. Why? They are scared of property inventory and criminal liability.
No need to be afraid. To intimidate a draft evader, you must first prove that the summons was sent. And only upon receipt of the relevant paper by the citizen personally, can it be brought to justice. As practice shows, the document is delivered by registered letter. And the recipient puts his signature on the notice of receipt. While the signature is not worth it, you can simply find out the address of the military registration and enlistment office, and either, as already mentioned, wait for the summons, or come in person and ask for an invitation to the medical board.
To impose responsibility on people who did not receive summons, do not have the right. All lawyers talk about this. At the moment, as already mentioned, the issuance of a certificate of evasion for not completing military service is provided. But you can take it only after 27 years.
Summary
What conclusions can be drawn? Lawyers offer several options for action if the summons from the military enlistment office does not come. Among them are:
- Expectant position. You can live as before. And after 27 years, come to the draft board to receive a military ticket.
- Active subpoena requirement. Extremely rare, but it occurs. A person applies for the summons to the draft board and goes through military service.
Additionally, it is worth getting evidence that the person did not receive the summons. It is not as difficult as it seems. There will be no liability if such an incident is the omission of the military enlistment office or mail. A citizen will either be called up for service (if he is of draft age), or they will be issued a military ID.
