Human rights activist: Russia has no army

The situation with hazing in the Russian army is getting worse, says the head of the Crimean regional organization of soldiers' mothers "For Sons" Valentina Babynina. As the human rights activist told the correspondent of "Rosbalt", this circumstance forced the mothers of soldiers in different regions of the country to write a letter of appeal to the President of the Russian Federation.

“Today there is no army in Russia that can protect the country. Previously, the army was bad, and it became even worse,” said Valentina Babynina.

As a human rights activist clarified, many soldiers' mothers, until recently, hoped that the president and the government would "come to their senses" and take measures to restore order in the army structures. However, the tightening of the postponement situation, new wild cases of hazing and fraternity dispelled these hopes.

"The army must be healthy and strong. Young people - that in 18 years, that in 28 years - should be willing to go into such an army, and not under duress. If this is not, then our country does not have an army" - stressed Valentina Babynina.

It should be noted that representatives of 22 human rights organizations, mostly soldiers' mothers, from the 14 regions of the country sent an appeal to the President of the Russian Federation in connection with the death of a soldier Ruslan Aiderkhanov.

"We believe that over the years of hushing up the truth, reforms failed by sabotage and the implementation of" cosmetic "reforms, enough evidence has accumulated that it is impossible to correct the situation within the conscription system. We demand the abolition of compulsory conscription for military service, or at least its suspension for the development of new legislation, consistent with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and international acts on the protection of human rights, regulating its passage and clearly fixing its only purpose: the training of a military-trained reserve.We demand the abolition of military justice.We are convinced that while maintaining the conscription in its Russian option, it is impossible to modernize the country," the authors of the appeal said.

Recall that a zinc coffin with the body of a soldier Ruslan Ayderkhanov came to the village of Araslanovo from the Chelyabinsk region from a military unit. According to the official version, a conscript soldier committed suicide by hanging himself on a tree. Ruslan's relatives, having opened a zinc coffin, found numerous wounds on the body of the deceased.

Photos of Ruslan’s wounds were sent to the Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov by the village’s residents, and the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev received a collective appeal. Residents of rural settlements refused to send their sons to serve in the army.

someone did not have the courage to take responsibility

IN RUSSIA, THERE ARE NO NORMAL HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS. THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES AN ORDINARY CRIMINAL. THE COMMANDER OF THE PART WHERE THE SOLDIER IS KILLED SHOULD BE SITTING IN PRISON IN THE PLACE WITH THE KILLERS. HUMAN RIGHTS HERE AND NO NEED TO GIVE A GOOD KICK TO THE LOCAL PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE FOR IT TO HEAR.

It’s the same everywhere - law enforcement officers deal with themselves and power, ordinary people should fight off criminals and not get caught by cops.
Earlier in the Moscow Region (in the 90s) cops were roofing apartment thieves, and from the 00s they began to cover up murders due to land - there is more money there.
Everything slides down to personal actions - it reaches the survivors.

I didn’t like urgency, but I still have to admit: now military service is the only way to prepare military trained reserves in our country, the need for which has been repeatedly confirmed by events in the world at least over the past 10 years.

are human rights defenders funded by the CIA?

It kind of looks like it! Those responsible should be punished unconditionally, but what does the army have to do with it! Well, sadly, a soldier died, so now what about all the lads at home with their mothers by the side ??? There are remote parts where there are hazing on different grounds, but in general, the so-called problem in the army. "hazing", which they could not defeat since the union, they decided. Now not a single officer can be fired for a broken soldier's finger !!! (there are many of them outside the state and in sergeant positions)
