Talk:Conscription in Russia

Resistance/opposition
There must be some sort of resistance or at least opposition, whether organized or not. I know there was a certain amount even in the USSR back in the 80s during the Afghanistan occupation. Cgingold (talk) 23:04, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * They're all in prison (up to 2 years, about a thousand people per year) or avoiding it in other ways. If you look at Ukraine you'd see that 55% of people ignored the law of mandatory conscription, times has changed, people are being more informed about politics BS and have freedom attitudes, Russia isn't much different from Ukraine imo.

3 years conscription in the Navy
Was it abolished - and when ? --129.187.244.28 (talk) 12:54, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * beginning of 1991 it was reduced from 3 to 2 years (see: IISS, MB 1991/92) --129.187.244.28 (talk) 06:05, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

The two-year conscription term in force since 1967 continued unchanged after the Soviet Union dissolved until the mid-2000s
...which is in fact not true. In 1993, 18-month-service was introduced. --129.187.244.28 (talk) 14:12, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Misleading sentence about Tsarist times
"Muslims, Finns and members of other racial or religious minorities were generally exempted from conscription" -- However, Jews were NOT exempted... AnonMoos (talk) 23:04, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Conscription vs National Service
Why is it that this article is named Conscription? Indeed, in the wider context of mainstream news media, the term of conscription is used consistently. Yet, countries such as Great Britain, Germany, & Netherlands, get to call their conscription National Service. They were and are accorded that respect in the mainstream news media. Why not Russia? After all, as per the article, Russia demands just twelve months of service from its youth. Whereas the other nations demand two years. I cannot see this as anything other than discriminatory propaganda. DieselEstate (talk) 05:42, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

no longer 18
it is now 21 -30. they changed it this year. none of you would have known this because our search engines censors results and our media makes no effort acknowledge, but to demonize others. here is an article about it from USA state sponsored propaganda. https://www.rferl.org/a/bill-russian-lawmakers-raising-draft-age-21/32315660.html#:~:text=A%20draft%20law%20raising%20the%20age%20of%20conscription,30%20years%20of%20age%20from%20the%20current%2027.
