Migrants from the former USSR with Russian passports must serve in the RF Armed Forces - expert
Foreigners who have been legalized in the Russian Federation - immigrants from the former republics of the USSR, who have received passports of citizens of the Russian Federation, but have not registered for military service - should be drafted into the Russian Armed Forces.
The head of the Coordinating Council of the Russian Union, political scientist Alexei Kochetkov, announced this on the air of the SRZP party's video blog, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Kochetkov, such “new Russians” must serve in the RF Armed Forces before getting a work permit.
“We still have, say, former foreigners within the country who receive passports en masse, but are in no hurry to register with the military. This is also a serious reserve for our army. People who come here to work get passports here, run away, get weapons permits, but for some reason they don’t register with the military. Although it would be absolutely correct that any new citizen who is old enough would go through the Armed Forces, because citizenship is not only some benefits, but also responsibility.
If you really decided to become a citizen of our country, if you really want to join in, become part of society, so that there are no questions for you, then you probably need to go through service in the Armed Forces initially, and then go and look for some kind of job. that place of work.
This issue also needs to be carefully considered, and foreigners who have received our citizenship over the past ten years need to be drafted into the army, they must fulfill their duty to their new homeland. And whoever doesn’t want to, in this case, can continue their work activity where they came from, or somewhere else,” Kochetkov concluded.
