the Russian army, service contract, foreign citizens in the Russian army, as a foreign citizen to serve in the Russian army

Foreign citizens who choose to voluntarily join the Russian armed forces have been given additional legal status. Now this status registered not only in law but also in the new edition of the Provision on the military service. Changes to this document were approved on 2 January 2015 by presidential decree No. 3, dated 02.01.2015.

However, these amendments should not be construed as permission to take foreign citizens into military service without distinction. Recruitment in the Russian army of foreign nationals will be made strictly according to the current legislation, which States that, for example, for military service can be called only citizens of the Russian Federation.

Foreign citizens can apply for professional military service. Serve the contract foreign citizens are allowed more than 10 years ago. However, this regulation is absent in many inter-Agency documents that do not have the right to sign the Ministers of law enforcement agencies, and may be signed only by the President, which he did.

The document recorded a number of legal formalities that were not previously reflected. For example, foreign nationals who are registered outside the territory of the Russian Federation and who wish to serve in the Russian army under the contract, must submit an application in a military unit or a military Commissariat in a residence.

Another innovation is the possibility of participation of foreign nationals in the fighting. The Provision clearly stipulates that such "contractors" to perform tasks in conditions of armed conflict and military situation "in accordance with generally accepted norms and principles of international law, international treaties of the Russian Federation and the legislation of the Russian Federation".

In the process of admission of foreign citizens at the service of the Decree are no fundamental changes made. At the service, as before, will be accepted for foreign citizens aged 18 – 30 years, knowledge of the Russian language on the territory of Russia officially. The first contract will be signed with them for 5 years.

Foreign citizens, unlike citizens of the Russian Federation, do not take the oath. Instead, they sign a pledge to faithfully perform duties.

The Provision clearly stipulates that foreign nationals are under investigation, having removed from or outstanding convictions, serving sentences, to join the ranks of the Russian armed forces will be categorically impossible.

In the Situation emerged and the innovations related to service under the contract citizens of the Russian Federation. So, with the military who have reached retirement age but wish to remain in the Navy or the army, may be awarded a contract for the renewal service term 12 months, 3 years, 5 years or 10 years.

The conclusion of such contract is limited to the expediency of further stay of the person in the army (it will be defined by commanders and superiors), as well as the rank of the candidate for an extension. In the very privileged position were the marshals, generals of the army, admirals of the fleet, General-colonels and admirals. They were allowed to serve up to 70 years, other professionals – to 65 years.
