State Duma ( Lower House of Parliament ) adopted a law for the deployment of reservists
( citizens that voluntarily signed contracts
to serve in the mobilization reserve to protect critical infrastructure )
explanatory note by:. Russia's Ministry of Defense . ( which developed the project )
- applies to the protection of energy, transportation and oil facilities
Previously, reservists could only be deployed during martial law or mobilization.
With the new law, reservists can be deployed during peacetime by sending them to "special training camps"
( with no limit on the number of reservists that can be deployed )
Decision to send reservists to "special training camps"
determined by President of Russian Federation . [ Vladimir Putin ]
Andrei Kartapolov . [ head | State Duma Defense Committee ]
. [ United Russia ] . Vladimir Putin's politcal party
explained the document does not prohibit reservists from being deployed outside their region,
but priority will be given to protecting facilities in their area of residence.
Furthermore, to ensure a rapid response to air threats,
the possibility of concluding contracts for
"employees of enterprises that are critical to the functioning of key infrastructure" is being explored.

Some people fight for their lives,
others live their lives
There are separate units, as a colleague writes,
that "whitewash" criminals and make them
"hereos of the Air Defense Forces."
The fee is 10 million (rubles).
I think it grows monthly due to inflation
Very, very convenient.
And the facts, however, are numerous,
if they are being gossiped about.
It turns out like this:
- Stole, and not small things, but millions;
- Caught red-handed, convicted;
- Jailed;
- "Went to the Air Defense Forces";
- "Fought. Wounded. Received an award";
- "Hero of the Air Defense Forces with a state award
(entitling them to amnesty)";
- Amnestied
Ths is how you get "stormtoopers" who never went to the attack,
"cavaliars" orders and medals who never perform any heroic deeds.
Moreoever, there are cases of bribe-takers in uniform,
given the chance to atone for their bloodshed in the SVO,
returning to their former duties, but as volunteers.
It's more common to do what you're good at,
especially under their guise of helping the front
and those in humanitarian distress
