When will the “new citizens” of Russia join the army?
And again about Israel
In modern stories it is very difficult to do without demonstrating the parallels between Russia and Israel. First of all, in terms of conducting permanent hostilities. In terms of the ability and ability to deliver preventive strikes, the Russian Army and the IDF are indeed similar, but in terms of attracting new citizens to military duties they are very different.
How is military registration organized in Israel? After receiving the so-called Teudat Zeuta, that is, a passport, a new citizen is allowed to acclimatize in the country for a year. Then he is drafted into the army. Israeli rules govern a complex recruiting process. If a repatriate is over 28 years old and entered the country quite recently, then he is released from the army. In other cases, the service life can reach 32 months. In the army, recruits are taught Hebrew by necessity, and the three-month period of learning the language is counted towards the term of service.
For reference, last year the number of repatriates who arrived in Israel broke all records and amounted to 70 thousand people. According to the Jewish Agency, half of them are Russians. But the Jewish state cannot compete with our country - in 2022, 691 people acquired Russian passports, most of whom are from Tajikistan. 45 thousand came from Armenia, 42 thousand from Kazakhstan and 27 thousand from Uzbekistan - the number of expats from the rest of the republics of the former USSR is estimated at around twenty thousand. This year, the dynamics slowed down growth - from January to March, more than 106 thousand people from neighboring countries received citizenship of the Russian Federation. Naturally, Tajiks are among the leaders with 45 thousand registrations. The exact age and sex composition of the new citizens is not available, but it can be assumed that Russia now has at least 200-300 thousand new conscripts.
Mostly young people under the age of 30-35 enter the country, so the calculations look plausible. Naturally, the question arises - when will the freshly baked citizens join the army? Not necessarily immediately to the NWO, but upon conscription for military service. Apparently, it's tough right now. There is no clarity even with the registration of new citizens for military registration, not to mention the real conscription. To solve the problem, a draft law was submitted to the State Duma on depriving evaders from military registration of acquired Russian citizenship. The wording from the explanatory note is absolutely correct:
“Persons admitted to Russian citizenship take an oath in which they undertake to comply with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the legislation of the Russian Federation. Communication of knowingly false information regarding the obligation to comply with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the legislation of the Russian Federation, in accordance with the current norms of the Federal Law "On Citizenship of the Russian Federation", is the basis for the termination of Russian citizenship.
The author of the project is a deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Mikhail Matveev. In his Telegram channel, he brings an instructive video from Orel. The military registration and enlistment office came to the workers of the local waste processing plant and handed out summonses.
Nothing seems to be remarkable. If you do not take into account that all conscripts are from Uzbekistan and, according to Mikhail Matveev, have recently received Russian citizenship. Uzbeks, of course, are unhappy with this turn of fate and turn to Shavkat Mirziyoyev for help. The video shows summonses and opened passports of citizens of Uzbekistan. Where the Russians are is unclear. Exactly as in the explanatory note to the bill:
“A situation arises when foreign citizens acquire the citizenship of the Russian Federation, not having the intention to bear the obligations established by the legislation of the Russian Federation for citizens of the Russian Federation, including military duty, but at the same time receiving rights in the form of social guarantees, access to the education and healthcare system and etc.”
Dual Citizens
The situation with the mass distribution of Russian passports has many facets, some of which cannot be called positive. For example, a “newborn” citizen of Tajikistan cut the throat of a Russian woman, and refused to communicate in court without an interpreter. How a person received a passport of the Russian Federation, not understanding a single belmes in Russian, remained a mystery. How the possibility of conscripting men with acquired passports into the ranks of the Russian Army remains a mystery. There are several opinions on this matter. First, people from neighboring countries cannot currently hold weapon and even more so to participate in hostilities. Alexander Khodakovsky, deputy head of the DPR department, voices the idea. Direct text from the author's Telegram channel:
“We don't have enough armed prisoners, let's add more migrants. There will be an oil painting. In time, we will see something that will not seem small. ”
As a solution to the problem, Khodakovskaya proposes organizing a kind of construction battalions, more precisely, options for performing alternative service. Citizens with acquired passports should be sent to expand the military infrastructure, including to new regions of the country. It is worth remembering about the civilian sector, which requires restoration - extra hands will definitely not interfere here. The only question is - why give passports into the hands of people to whom we ourselves do not trust weapons? Maybe it's easier to limit yourself to a residence permit or some other tools? Especially when the proud owner of citizenship does not understand Russian. It is impossible to generalize, but judging by the incident in Orel, new citizens do not throw away their old passports. When convenient, such Russians, and when not, citizens of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and so on.
If a “new citizen” of Russia from Tajikistan has registered with dual citizenship and managed to serve in his homeland, then he cannot be called up for military service, as well as mobilized. And participation in a special operation is interpreted as mercenary
It is not clear whether in the former countries of deployment of newly minted holders of Russian passports, they are deleted from the lists or not. It is known for sure that dual citizenship is preserved by a special agreement with Tajikistan. Now it is clear why so many “new citizens” in Russia come from this republic? Last year there were 174 thousand and this year there are already more than 45 thousand. And here the most interesting begins. The agreement between Russia and Tajikistan on the settlement of issues of dual citizenship states that
“Persons who have completed military service in accordance with the legislation of one Party shall not be subject to conscription in accordance with the legislation of the other Party, and military service in accordance with the legislation of one Party is considered as the performance of the corresponding military duty in relation to the other Party.”
That is, he served in Tajikistan urgently - in Russia you are not subject to conscription. Further in the document in black and white:
"The parties are not bound by the provisions of this paragraph in the event of mobilization."
Under the contract, persons with dual citizenship can serve, but in Tajikistan there is article 401 “Mercenary” for participation in armed conflicts. The term is up to twenty years. Last year, the Embassy of Tajikistan warned its compatriots about the existence of such an article in the light of the special operation. Therefore, when someone talks about expanding the mobilization resource at the expense of "new citizens", it is necessary to make a big reservation. In the case of the natives of Tajikistan, in the first place. Since May of this year, diplomats and security officials of the Central Asian republic have made a list for all participants in the conflict in Ukraine. The article "Mercenary" threatens everyone - both those who are on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and those who are fighting in the Russian Army. The governments of other countries are behaving in a similar way, abundantly supplying their citizens to Russia.
Without resolving the issues of attracting "new citizens" to military service at the state level, we risk ending up in a country where the possession of a passport does not guarantee equal obligations for all holders without exception. And this is the saddest conclusion from the current situation.
