According to RIA Novosti, the bill was developed and submitted to the State Duma by a deputy from the Communist Party faction Mikhail Matveev.

The draft recall of the commission of the Cabinet of Ministers states that the defense of the Fatherland is the duty and obligation of Russian citizens in accordance with the Constitution.

"In order to guarantee the mobilization deployment of troops (forces) in the event of threats to Russia's military security, expanding the list of categories of citizens who are granted the right by Russian legislation to receive a deferment from military service for mobilization is inappropriate," the document says.

The commission of the Cabinet of Ministers said that the bill requires significant revision.
