The General announced the postponement for 350 thousand Russians without appearing in the military enlistment office

More than 350 thousand Russians received a delay or exemption from conscription without personal appearance in the military enlistment office due to the automatic updating of data in the Register of Military Accounting.

This was announced by the head of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Colonel-General Yevgeny Burdinsky in an interview with the newspaper “Red Star”.

According to him, information about citizens who have the right to a deferment enters the system from government agencies and employers and is updated automatically.

“Another important advantage of the system is the proactive provision of delays. For example, information about students, fathers of two or more children, IT specialists are updated automatically on the basis of data from government agencies and employers.

In March 2026, the government allowed conscription commissions to grant a deferment or release from service without appearing in person at the military enlistment office if there is enough data in the Military Registry to make a decision.

This applies, in particular, to students, graduate students, certain categories of parents, law enforcement officers and accredited IT companies.

Since 2026, the appeal in Russia is held year-round, and paper subpoenas are duplicated in the electronic Register of Agendas. An electronic summons shall be deemed to have been served seven days after being placed in the register, regardless of whether the citizen has read it.
