Nikita K., with a higher education, drafted into the army in December last year, received 5 days for sending photos of himself in uniform to his father and friend via WhatsApp. According to the military unit commander, the soldier was thus “transmitting information that allowed us to determine the affiliation or purpose of the military personnel with the RF Armed Forces, as well as information about his activities,” for which he must be sentenced to 10 days of disciplinary arrest. The Garrison Court appointed twice as much.
On August 13, 2023, four conscripts who joined the service for maintaining order and ensuring security at three capital stations “in the period from 11 hours 45 minutes to 12 hours 10 minutes left the place of duty and departed from the patrol route in order to buy food without reporting about this to the senior boss.” The military unit commander believes that such an act “undermines military discipline and has a negative impact both within the military collective and in society as a whole, since it occurred in a public place, and therefore asked for a disciplinary arrest of 30 days for each person.” . The military court sentenced them to 12 days of guardhouse.
Sergei R., called up for service at the end of last year, “On August 5, 2023, at 1 hour 20 minutes, while on guard duty as a sentry on guard to protect the objects of the military command and control bodies (MCB) of the RF Ministry of Defense in the center of Moscow, he committed a violation of the statutory rules of guard duty, having fallen asleep at the post.” The military unit commander asked for 20 days of arrest for the soldier, but the court ordered only 5.
