Defense Ministry tightens requirements for "snotty conscripts"
Human rights activists doubt that these prescriptions will be fulfilled, but, according to military doctors, these security measures will prevent the crossing of viruses and will not allow the situation in Voronezh.
Human rights activists, in turn, express their doubts.
Valentina Melnikova, chairman of the Union of Committees of Soldiers' Mothers of Russia, shared her opinion with Izvestia: “Most of the recruits do not meet the criteria of the draft board, all new recruits have certain diseases that prohibit serving by conscription. But, as we see, the call comes to an end, and none of the doctors and representatives of the military registration and enlistment offices who sent our children to the service have yet been fired. ”
In one of the military districts, the sanitary doctor commented on the current situation as follows: “We have, from the beginning of the current year, not yet been assigned a deferment to identify a rhinitis in a draftee. However, we are ready to fulfill this order of the military department. Before sending each recruit to a unit of military units, at least a few doctors inspect, and an act is drawn up in which representatives of military registration and enlistment offices also sign. Of course, everyone understands that the virus can be transmitted even while the conscript is being sent to the unit, in these cases we are immediately provided with information about the diseased, the command of the military unit, the medical service, or, in extreme cases, the prosecutor’s office. ”
In another military district, the head of the medical service explained to Izvestia: “Before the conscript took the oath, he is an ordinary civilian, and we simply, due to formalities, cannot send him to the military unit for treatment. That is, in this situation, we can send the patient only to the clinic at his place of residence. Moreover, we do not have statistical data on the sick at the moment, due to the fact that the main part of the draftees of the draft autumn - 2011 began to go to military units only on December 5, until then they were at the assembly points in connection with the elections to the State Duma. "
In turn, I can provide for familiarization a document of “anti-flu” content with the number of the 36 / 2 / 2418 telegram sent to all military commissariats. In particular, it speaks of "organizing the identification of conscripts with signs of disease before the formation of military teams and the conduct of medical examinations by recruits by the military-medical commission just prior to departure to the place of military service." Also in this document there is an instruction to the regional military commissars to ensure control over the sending of teams of draftees in clothing appropriate to the existing weather conditions.
These requirements for organizing accommodation and meeting recruits for the commanders of military units are sent by telegram number 36 / 2 / 2417.
These orders are supposed to be connected with the fact of the death of two soldiers from pneumonia at the end of September in Voronezh, in the 37 training car brigade (military unit 20115), another 700 military was hospitalized for examination and treatment, pneumonia was confirmed as diagnosed 117 of them. Colonel Alexander Tsybulnikov, the commander of the unit, was removed from his post and subsequently dismissed from the ranks of the Russian army.
