Notification Sent Out Regarding Military Enlistment by State Duma

In a recent clarification, Deputy Defence Minister Andrei Kartapolov has shed light on the ongoing efforts to update the military database in Russia. The focus of the upcoming draft, starting on October 1, is on updating the military database, with both paper and electronic summons being used.

Kartapolov emphasized that only individuals who are still in the reserve need to provide documents for their records to be updated in the new electronic system. This is due to potential changes in their professions, education, or health status, such as the development of a chronic illness or disability.

The deputy also clarified that the notifications do not pose a threat of mobilization or conscription into the army. He reiterated that data of citizens who served in the army a long time ago is still stored in military commissariats and is being transferred to a new electronic system.

The new electronic system, which Kartapolov mentioned is being used to update the military database, is part of the ongoing modernization efforts in the Russian Armed Forces. While specific details about this system are scarce, it is expected to streamline record-keeping, enhance data security, and facilitate communication between military personnel and veterans.

However, it's important to note that the lack of specific information makes it unclear how this potential new system would affect veterans. In certain areas, internet work is currently temporarily restricted for security reasons, necessitating the use of paper summons.

Andrei Kartapolov also took the opportunity to clarify that women serve in the military only by contract and by choice. This statement underscores the voluntary nature of military service in Russia.

In conclusion, the Russian military is undergoing significant changes, with modernization efforts and updates to military databases being key components. The new electronic system for military service records is expected to bring efficiency and security to the record-keeping process, but more details are needed to fully understand its implications.
