The procedure for conscription into the army in 2019 Russian Federation regulated by Federal Law No. 53-FZ of March 28, 1998 “On Military Duty and Military Service”, as well as by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 11, 2006 No. 663 “On approval of the Regulations on conscription for military service citizens of the Russian Federation."
Citizens who are exempt from military service, conscription, and citizens who are not subject to conscription are also not conscripted for military service.
The decision to conscript citizens for military service can be made only after they reach the age of 18 full years. Persons over 27 years of age are not subject to conscription into the army. If, upon reaching the age of 27, a citizen had the right to a deferment and did not serve, then he is issued a military ID.
Dates of spring and autumn conscription into the army
You can only be drafted into the army during conscription periods. The conscription is carried out twice a year (spring and autumn conscription) on the basis of the relevant decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, which indicate the dates (dates) of the beginning of the conscription and when the conscription ends.
Spring conscription - starts on April 1 and lasts until July 15.
For example, in 2016 spring call was established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated March 31, 2016 No. 139 “On the conscription of citizens of the Russian Federation for military service in April - July 2016 and on the dismissal from military service of citizens undergoing military service.”
In 2017-2018, in accordance with by decree of the President of the Russian Federationspring conscription took place from April 1 to July 15.
The deadline for spring conscription into the army in 2019 is from April 1 to July 15, 2019.
Autumn conscription - runs from October 1 to December 31.
The autumn conscription is also established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation.
The deadline for autumn conscription into the army in 2019 is from October 1 to December 31, 2019.
There are exceptions to the general conscription periods:
- citizens living in certain regions of the Far North or certain localities equated to regions of the Far North are called up for military service during the spring conscription from May 1 to July 15 or during the autumn conscription from November 1 to December 31.
- citizens living in rural areas and directly involved in sowing and harvesting work may be called up for military service from October 15 to December 31;
- citizens who are teaching staff educational organizations, are called up for military service from May 1 to July 15.
Duration of military service in 2019
The duration of military service is established by Article 38 of the Federal Law “On Military Duty and Military Service”.
Until 2008, the duration of military service was two years. In 2006, the legislation on military service was amended and the time of military service was reduced to 12 months.
For example, for military personnel who do not have the military rank of officer and were called up for military service before January 1, 2007, the period of service was 24 months.
For military personnel called up for military service after January 1, 2008, regardless of whether the conscript has a higher education or not, the period of military service is 12 months.
For military personnel performing military service under a contract, the duration of military service is established in accordance with the contract for military service.
Some people say that they will soon increase the length of military service and in 2019 or 2020 they will need to serve for 2 years. We hasten to reassure future conscripts. Bye this information is not confirmed and is a rumor. A bill to increase the length of service in the army for consideration in State Duma RF was not received.
New rules for receiving a subpoena. Conscripts who have not received a summons will be required to appear independently at the military registration and enlistment office. The bill on this was adopted in the first reading.The previous method of notifying citizens - issuing summonses against receipt - is retained. However, it is also introduced new way– it is proposed to send subpoenas by registered mail with return receipt requested to the address indicated in the military registration documents. Presumably the new procedure will come into force in 2019.
Failure to appear on a summons is subject to administrative and criminal liability.
Medical commission at the military registration and enlistment office
Before joining the army, conscripts are subject to mandatory medical examination. Citizens are summoned to events related to conscription for military service, including to undergo a medical examination, by summons from the military commissariat.
All conscripts, except those with a deferment from conscription, are subject to a summons for a medical examination and a meeting of the draft commission.
The conscription commission makes a decision regarding a conscript only after determining his category of suitability for military service.
Based on the results of a medical examination, doctors give an opinion on the citizen’s suitability for military service in the following categories:
- A - fit for military service;
- B - fit for military service with minor restrictions;
- B - limited fit for military service;
- G - temporarily unfit for military service;
- D - not fit for military service.
If it is impossible to give a medical report on the suitability of a conscript for military service on the spot, the conscript, by decision of the conscription commission or the head of the department (municipal), is sent for an outpatient or inpatient medical examination in medical institution, after which he is assigned to appear for a second medical examination and a meeting of the draft commission, taking into account the expected completion date of the specified examination.
Read more about the procedure for passing a medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office in the article at the link.
Decisions of the draft commission
When conscripted for military service, the conscription commission is charged with organizing a medical examination of conscripts and making one of the following decisions regarding them:
- about conscription for military service;
- on referral to alternative civil service;
- on granting a deferment from conscription for military service;
- on exemption from conscription for military service;
- about enrollment in the reserve;
- on exemption from military duty.
The decision of the draft commission regarding each conscript on the same day is recorded in the minutes of the meeting of the draft commission, signed by the chairman of the draft commission and its members, as well as in the certificate of a citizen subject to conscription and the conscript's registration card.
A conscript in respect of whom a decision has been made to call up for military service is given a summons to appear at the appointed time at the department (municipal) to be sent to the place of military service.
If there are grounds for deferment or release from service, the draft commission makes a decision to release the conscript from conscription for military service or to grant him a deferment from conscription for military service.
A conscript who has lost the grounds for exemption from conscription for military service or whose deferment from conscription for military service has expired is subject to conscription. If a conscript has not completed military service due to being granted a deferment from conscription for military service or is not called up for military service for any other reasons, upon reaching the age of 27 years, citizens subject to conscription for military service are removed from the military register and are not staying in stock.
Allocation to military service
The decision to recruit a conscript into the army in a branch, branch of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, other troops, military formations and bodies for military service in military specialties in military positions is made by the draft commission by a majority vote based on the results of a medical examination, data from professional psychological selection , educational and special (professional) training, as well as proposals from the head of the (municipal) department about the preliminary purpose of the conscript. This also takes into account the need to accumulate military specialists in reserve to staff the troops according to the mobilization plan.
In order to ensure the organized dispatch of citizens called up for military service to the place of military service, the formation of military echelons (teams) and their transfer to representatives of military units, territories and premises are allocated and equipped, equipped with instruments and medical equipment necessary for medical examination and control medical examination, as well as equipment and logistics necessary for carrying out activities for professional psychological selection of conscripts (hereinafter referred to as the collection point). At the assembly point, conscripts are provided with clothing and food. Here the distribution of conscripts for service among military units of Russia takes place.
Before the departure of citizens called up for military service from the assembly point to the place of military service, by order of the military commissar, they are assigned military rank private, about which appropriate entries are made in the military ID and service record card.

The conscription standard established by the headquarters of the Central Military District for the Udmurt Republic for the autumn conscription of 2015 is more than 1 thousand 400 people. 13 people are subject to referral to alternative civilian service. Six of them will serve in healthcare institutions of the Udmurt Republic as orderlies and kitchen workers, five in the Federal Postal Administration Arkhangelsk region telecom operators, one in the Izhevsk boarding home for the elderly and disabled, one in the Integrated Center social services population of the city of Votkinsk.
To ensure activities related to the conscription of citizens for military service, more than 120 employees of the departments of the military commissariat of the Udmurt Republic will be involved. More than 200 medical specialists and junior medical workers will be involved in conducting a medical examination of conscripts. In total, about 8 thousand young men will go through medical and conscription commissions during the autumn conscription campaign of 2015.
Dispatches of citizens called up for military service to their place of service during the spring conscription campaign are planned from the second ten days of October.
Features of the spring recruitment campaign 2015:
In the fall, our guys will go to serve in the new kind Armed Forces - Aerospace Forces. This type of troops was formed as a result of the merger Air Force and the Aerospace Defense Forces.
Starting in the fall, at the assembly points of military commissariats, conscripts will be given a casual jacket with shoulder straps and trousers. The innovation will primarily affect the color of the uniform. Thus, conscripts sent to the Navy will receive a black uniform, paratroopers and pilots will receive a blue uniform, and the rest will receive a khaki color.
The creation of electronic photo albums at the assembly point will continue for each conscript leaving the assembly point, for transfer to representatives of military units. These photo albums will be replenished during the service, and given to the guys upon leaving military service for the reserve.
In the fall, it is planned to select and send our guys for military service in scientific and sports companies.
In order to attract qualified specialists from among citizens with higher education to military service under a contract, in the fall of 2015, the selection point for military service under a contract in cooperation with municipal departments will continue to select citizens who have a higher education and are subject to conscription for military service for military service. contract service instead of conscript service.
In the spring, 9 conscripts were selected and sent to units to sign a contract. Of these, 7 people were sent to parts of the Central Military District and 2 people to parts of the Western Military District.
The registration of a personal identity card for each conscript will also continue. electronic card, introduced to simplify document flow and data processing, which is an electronic copy of a personal file.
Each conscript leaving the assembly point for military service in military units of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is provided with a bank card to which the soldier’s allowance will be transferred. The conscript's allowance today is 2,000 rubles per month. Conscripts classified as “orphans” receive 3,000 rubles per month. And here the legislation provides for innovations. In accordance with Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated March 10, 2014 No. 136 “On extending the period of the experiment in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to unify monetary allowances for conscripted military personnel” in 2014-2015, conscripted military personnel are provided with separate payments from the main payment monthly allowances:

Changes in current legislation:
1. In the first half of 2015, in connection with the admission of the Republic of Crimea and the Federal City of Sevastopol to the Russian Federation, changes were made to the legislation regulating the performance of military duty by certain categories of citizens. Article 24 of the Federal Law “On Military Duty and Military Service” has been supplemented new postponement from conscription for military service. From April 1, 2015, a deferment is provided to citizens who arrived in the territory of the Russian Federation with refugee or forced migrant status. The deferment is granted once for a period of three to six months.
2. From January 1, 2014, when enrolling citizens who have not completed conscription military service into the reserve, the conscription commission has the right to issue a conclusion recognizing the citizen as having not completed conscription military service, without legal grounds. This conclusion is entered into military registration documents and carries with it legal consequences - in the future the citizen will not be able to hold positions in municipal and government institutions. Corresponding changes were made to the Federal Law of March 28, 1998 No. 53-FZ “On Military Duty and Military Service.” This law also applies to citizens already in the civil or municipal service. Corresponding changes were made to the Federal Law of July 27, 2004 No. 79-FZ “On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation”, as well as to the Federal Law of March 2, 2007 No. 25-FZ “On the Municipal Service in the Russian Federation”.
3. Since 2015, a new, more detailed Regulation on military medical examination and a new “Schedule of Diseases” have been in force, the presence of which exempts or provides a certain deferment from service. A number of diseases are not grounds for exemption from military service.
In the period from October 1 to December 31, 2015, according to the norm received from the headquarters of the Western Military District, more than 6,000 citizens of the Moscow region aged 18 to 27 years who are not in the reserve and subject to conscription will be called up for military service.
Currently, all necessary measures have been taken in the Moscow region to prepare for the next conscription of citizens for military service:
On September 23, 2015, at the assembly point of the Moscow region in the city of Zheleznodorozhny, an instructor and methodological gathering was held with the chairmen of the draft commissions, where the Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Moscow Region, Yu.P. Oleynikov. the results of the spring conscription were summed up and tasks were set for the autumn 2015 conscription of citizens for military service in the Moscow region;
Decree of the Governor of the Moscow Region dated September 11, 2015 No. 299-RG “On organizing the conscription of citizens of the Russian Federation for military service in the fall of 2015” was adopted, by which 68 conscription commissions were created in municipalities and conscription commissions of the Moscow region;
A plan has been developed for the preparation and conduct of conscription of citizens for military service in the Moscow region in the fall of 2015;
Conscription standards for the fall of 2015 have been communicated to all Chapters municipalities Moscow region.
The commissions for medical examination of citizens subject to conscription are fully staffed with medical specialists.
84% of all conscripts will be sent to the Armed Forces this fall. They will have to serve in all branches and branches of the Armed Forces.
16% of citizens sent for military service will serve in military formations of other Ministries and departments.
As you know, the military commissariat of the Moscow region is organizationally part of the Western Military District, and more than 80% of conscripts will fulfill their Constitutional duty directly in the district.
From total number conscripts:
20% - must be sent to the troops with higher education;
60% - must be sent to serve before December 1, 2015;
40% will be sent to military training units.
Particular attention will be paid to conscripts with difficult family situations. Tasks have been set for the draft commissions.
Conscripts belonging to this category of citizens must arrive at meetings of draft commissions with documents confirming their difficult family situation and declare this.
After considering these applications, the draft commissions will make decisions on their military service in military units stationed in the Moscow region.
During the autumn conscription of this year, 16 people will be sent to perform alternative civilian service.
In the fall of 2015, the assignment of our young men to sponsored ships and sponsored military units will be maintained.
As you know, the current period of military service is 1 year, and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation does not plan to increase the period of military service. Emphasis was placed on combat training, soldiers were freed from performing unusual tasks. More attention paid physical training so that after service they return stronger and stronger. Their nutrition has improved. Soldiers have the opportunity to use a mobile phone.
There are no significant differences from previous recruitment campaigns.
Before being sent to the troops, all recruits will be dressed in military uniform clothes, examined by medical specialists and provided with three meals a day at the collection point.
One of the features of the upcoming conscription is that the guys sent for military service in the Aerospace Forces Navy, Airborne troops, Ground forces and military formations of the Ministry of emergency situations, a uniform will be issued according to the nomenclature of the above military formations.
The most talented university graduates will be sent on a competitive basis to perform military service in scientific companies. The Armed Forces have already formed 8 such units, and by the end of the year the ninth will be formed.
Conscripts who have reached high results in sports and are enrolled in the national teams of the Russian Federation various types sports, will be sent for military service to sports companies.
All this is done to democratize and humanize military service.

Since ancient times, all states of the world have tried to have a strong and large army. It is needed to protect its territories and citizens from attacks by other countries. Russia today has one of the largest armies in the world. Every year in our country there are conscriptions for military service; in addition, many contract soldiers serve.
Dates 2015
In Russia there are two conscriptions: autumn and spring. In order for them to take place, the President of the Russian Federation signs a special law. It indicates the draft lines and the number of conscripts. The 2015 autumn conscription will run from October 1 to December 31.
The spring conscription begins on April 1 and will last until July 15. It is planned to recruit about 150 thousand recruits from all regions of the country. As of this year, in the Russian Federation, men between 18 and 27 years old are considered to be of military age. The term in the Russian army is 1 year. In short, a fairly long spring conscription is planned. The conscription period is 3.5 months, and the regional leadership is responsible for the timely replenishment of recruits.
Innovations
In 2015, there will be several innovations when accepting men for military service. This year's spring conscription will differ from previous ones in that men with higher education will have the opportunity to make a choice:
- serve one year of conscript service;
- serve two years on a contract basis.
Naturally, some will choose the second option, because the salary is now quite large, living conditions and food are also at a decent level. But there is one drawback: a contract soldier must serve where he is sent, and not just defend the territory of the Russian Federation.
It is equally important that the spring conscription (2015) will not affect teachers and doctors. The law applies only to those who, at the time of receiving the summons, will be working in rural areas and urban settlements. All other men of suitable age will be affected by the spring conscription. The deadlines allow military registration and enlistment office employees to complete the plan on time.
Whom will the state recruit for service?
As mentioned above, the state plans to put 150 thousand men aged 18 to 27 under arms. Young people who have reached the lower age limit and those whose deferment has expired will become defenders of the Motherland in the spring conscription. The conscription periods are quite long, as is the case every year. The men will undergo a medical examination, and all who have sufficient physical ability must undergo compulsory military service. The selection procedure is not easy, and enormous responsibility falls on the military commissars who directly select conscripts. There are cases when men have to be brought in by force because they refuse to go to serve. The police are helping here. Today, young people are patriotic and want to serve their Motherland. With each new call, there are fewer and fewer draft dodgers. If a person is truly ill or needs a deferment, exemption from urgent active service is guaranteed to him by law.
Right to deferment
The beginning of the spring conscription has led to questions about who has the right to receive a deferment from service in the Russian Armed Forces. This issue needs to be considered from two sides, because some people only have the right to skip one or more drafts, while others may even receive exemption from the army. Let's consider two options that will be in effect at the time the spring conscription begins (2015), the terms of which are quite long:
Deferment is granted:
- citizens with two or more children;
- single fathers;
- fathers with a disabled child under 3 years of age;
- men whose wife is expecting a child;
- men temporarily unfit for health reasons;
- students studying in higher education educational institutions at full-time faculties;
- deputies or candidates for such.
Exemption is granted:
- past;
- recognized by a medical commission as unfit for service;
- having an academic degree;
- under investigation;
- having a criminal record.
How do they identify draft dodgers and what will happen to them?
Many men of military age began to hide as soon as the spring conscription began. The conscription periods are quite long, so it is not very easy to hide. Today in Russia a draft dodger is considered to be someone who:
- did not pass a medical examination;
- feigns illness;
- deceives the commission;
- deliberately does not come to the military registration and enlistment office;
- brought fake documents to the military registration and enlistment office.
There are enough such citizens in our country: some are afraid to go to serve, others simply don’t want to, and as soon as the spring conscription of 2015, which lasts for 3.5 months, knocked on the door, these people go to any lengths to avoid service. Some flee the country, others hide in villages or distant relatives. Everyone has the same goal - to avoid conscription. But there is unpleasant news for draft dodgers: they violate the laws of the Russian Federation, and this is a criminal offense (Article 328 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Punishment can be in the form of a fine of up to 200,000 rubles. or imprisonment for up to 2 years. Agree, not a little. As soon as the spring conscription begins (conscription periods are long), it will not be possible to hide and deceive the state for long, because sooner or later they will find you, and it will only get worse. July 15th, until the spring conscription will last, it’s already summer. Not everyone can sit locked up.
What does the army give to a soldier?
Many parents, especially fathers who served in the Soviet army, believe that in order to develop a masculine character it is necessary to serve in the Armed Forces. The army makes a man out of a boy, strengthens his character, teaches discipline and order. In everyday life, it is easier for a person with such experience to adapt to any situation and, accordingly, emerge victorious from it. A huge advantage of the army is the opportunity to learn martial arts, hand-to-hand combat and shooting from different types modern weapons, get military specialty, which can be useful in peaceful life. In civilian life, most of this knowledge is, in principle, not needed, but every man should be able to protect his home, family and Motherland.
Prospects for contract service
Conscripted soldiers also have the opportunity to remain in the army as a contract soldier after completing their military service. The salaries there are not bad, and there is the prospect of getting free living space. Many of the men who did not even serve in military service today want to sign a contract with the military department. This is a good job with a stable salary, and they also give you clothes and shoes. There is a crisis in Russia now, the ruble is depreciating, and good income is not easy to find.
To summarize all of the above, the law was signed by the President, which means there will be a spring conscription. It will last 3.5 months as usual and will affect men aged 18-27 years. Some may receive a legal deferment, but draft dodgers have only one way out: serve their due time and go to the reserves with a sense of accomplishment.
On October 1, 2015, the 2015 autumn conscription campaign began in Russia. In the next three months, according to the plans of the General Staff, 147,100 young Russians will go to military service. If you are already 18 years old, but have not yet reached 27, then sooner or later you will receive an invitation that cannot be refused, namely, to visit the military commissariat. Twice a year, the Motherland calls upon young people of military age to repay their military duty.
Autumn conscription dates
In matters related to the army and conscription, the cornerstone concept is the timing of conscription. And this is completely justified, because a medical examination is carried out at the military registration and enlistment office, sent to military unit young men are only allowed during these periods. A day later or a day earlier, such events/actions are illegal.
When does the fall 2015 military conscription begin?
Many adult young people are afraid of the start date of the autumn conscription campaign, for example, due to the fact that young men who did not enter college/university after school and who did not apply for a deferment from the army due to their studies must be drafted precisely during this period, starting on this date. When does the fall conscription start in 2015? The beginning of the autumn conscription in Russia has remained unchanged and will take place the same as in 2014, that is, October 1. It is from this day until the end of conscription that military commissariats have the right to conduct a medical commission, determine the suitability of young people for service, and send children to military units.
When does the autumn conscription end?
Everyone knows that on December 31, all citizens of the Russian Federation celebrate New Year- big celebration. And the conscripts are looking forward to this day with special impatience. For young people of conscription age, this day is a holiday for another reason - the autumn conscription of 2015 ends on this day. Accordingly, if a young man has not been drafted into the army by December 31, he can relax for several months - until the start of the next spring conscription.
Exceptions to the fall conscription dates
Regulatory documents of the Russian Federation provide for exceptions in the timing of the autumn conscription for some groups of residents of our country. Let's figure out which citizens fall under these exceptions.
Firstly, these are people living in the Far North. The list of such territories is established by a special official document. For these citizens, the autumn conscription in 2015 begins a month later compared to other regions of the Russian Federation, that is, on November 1, and ends the same as in other regions of the Russian Federation.
Secondly, minor exceptions include young men living in villages engaged in sowing or harvesting. But the fact of this participation must be officially confirmed, for example, in the form of an employment document (contract/work book).
Thirdly, young teachers, in connection with the beginning of the next school year are not subject to conscription in the autumn conscription campaign. These young men must report to the military registration and enlistment office in May-June, when the spring conscription begins.
Autumn conscription 2015, conscripts' service life
The service life of young people called up for autumn conscription in 2015 remains unchanged - 12 months(1 year), despite many rumors on this topic (in particular, about increasing the service life to 1.8 years in 2015).
Innovations in the autumn conscription 2015
There will be no significant innovations in the autumn recruitment. Graduates of senior years of institutes/universities are still being recruited into scientific companies. Getting into these companies is not so easy, since from experience we can say that they are invited to an interview completely at random. In total, 289 young people (0.2% of all conscripts) serve in these units in the Russian Federation. The competition is serious - about 25 people per place - however, service in a scientific company differs significantly from “regular” conscription service.
Is it true that in the autumn conscription of 2015 the service life will be increased to 1.8 years?
Today there are many rumors about increasing the length of military service in 2015 to 1 year and 8 months (1.8 years). There is also information about a service life of 18 months. Young people are looking for an official order setting the conscripts' service life at 1 year 8 months. At the same time, no one finds any obvious information about such an official document. To understand this issue, you need to understand the principles of operation of Russian regulatory documents.
The fact is that no official order can contradict federal law, and in the event of such a contradiction, the order is considered invalid. Firstly, there is no order regarding the length of service in the fall 2015 conscription. Secondly, the period of military service is established by the federal law regulating military service in the Russian Federation, namely Article 38, part 1, subparagraph “e”, which states that for young people drafted into the army in 2008 and later, The service life is 12 months (1 year). This period can only change if there is an amendment to this federal law. There will be no such amendments/changes in 2015, therefore service life will not change. Information about the service period of 1.8 years is false regarding both autumn and spring conscription.
