Deputies of the State Duma in the second and third readings approved amendments to the law "On Military Duty and Military Service".

According to the innovations, the subpoena can be duplicated electronically.

"Citizens subject to conscription for military service are obliged to receive summonses. Subpoenas to these citizens are sent in writing and duplicated electronically. The subpoenas should indicate the legal consequences of citizens' failure to comply with the requirements set forth in them," the text of the bill says.

It is noted that written summonses are considered to be handed over against a receipt on the day of receipt of a registered letter, and in electronic form - from the moment of posting the agenda "on the relevant information resource, in the information system", that is, in the personal account on the "State Services". The summons will also be considered served seven days after the date of its placement in the unified register of conscripts.

"Here we are talking about all those liable for military service, that is, about all citizens who are in reserve," said the head of the State Duma Committee on Defense Andrei Kartapolov in a conversation with TASS.

The formation of the register will be carried out automatically on the basis of information from the state information resource and information received by military commissariats from state bodies, authorities and organizations. Personal data (surname, name, patronymic, date of birth, gender), passport data, SNILS, TIN, place of residence and place of stay, the presence of foreign citizenship or residence permit, information about the place of work, diploma, education and state of health will be transferred to the unified register.

Along with this, state structures such as the Federal Tax Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Central Executive Committee, the Ministry of Education, courts, medical organizations, social funds, as well as employers and higher educational institutions will have to provide data on conscripts necessary for military registration.

At the same time, temporary measures are introduced in respect of evaders, such as a ban on the registration of individual entrepreneurs, restrictions on the registration of real estate and vehicles, refusal to conclude a loan agreement, and loan registration. We add that draft dodgers will be considered persons who did not appear without a valid reason on the summons within 20 days after its receipt.

At the same time, military registration and deregistration can be carried out without the personal appearance of a citizen - "on the basis of information contained in the state information resource, other state information systems", as well as on the basis of data provided by military commissariats.

As stated in the explanatory note, "the bill is aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the legal mechanism for serving citizens with summonses to appear at events related to military service."

  • Press approach of the head of the State Duma Committee on Defense Andrei Kartapolov

On the eve of Andrei Kartapolov noted that the appearance of a single register of conscripts "will make the entire system of military registration transparent, and the information - relevant."

"This new system is human-oriented and minimizes the possibility of mistakes and the need for a person liable for military service to communicate with the military commissariat," the head of the State Duma Committee on Defense said, speaking to reporters.

According to him, thanks to the innovations, the person liable for military service will go less to the military enlistment office, since many operations will be carried out remotely, including the initial registration, deregistration and making changes to the accounting data. "At the same time, the passage of a medical commission and professional selection will need to be carried out as a result of a personal appearance, but after receiving a summons," he explained.

Along with this, the Kremlin noted that the innovations are designed to bring the system of military registration in line with modern realities.

"This is not related to mobilization - it is connected with military accounting. This needs to be understood, it needs to be explained. Military registration is something that the citizens of our country face constantly, at least once during their lives, according to the Constitution. And this system should keep pace with the requirements of the time, "said Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the President of Russia.
