What is the title at the end. Get the next military rank will be more difficult

Vladimir Putin approved amendments to the law "On military duty and military service", as well as Article 285 of the Federal Law "On the status of military personnel", introducing the concept of attestation before conferring a higher rank. According to the new version of the laws, it will not be enough for a serviceman to simply hold a certain position, but he will have to prove his professional worth to his superiors.

The amendments, it would seem, are not so large-scale, but they radically change the nature, and most importantly, the attitude towards obtaining the next military rank in the army. This process is no longer associated with the presence of the relevant position. Until now, the lieutenant, having taken the captain's position, could not doubt that after three years of service he would receive captain's shoulder straps. State Duma deputies or state officials who were in reserve could go through military training and also receive another military rank. Now climbing the status ladder will become more difficult. If only because, according to the amendments to the laws, dependence on military discipline and compliance with the requirements for official conduct is introduced. At the same time, the list of gross disciplinary offenses is expanding.

From now on, the decision to award the rank will be considered by an attestation commission of colleagues and commanders of a soldier. They have to decide whether the applicant is worthy of the next title or not.

In practice, this means that an officer who systematically violates discipline, does not demonstrate the growth of professional knowledge during the service, will not receive the next military rank, - military expert Viktor Murakhovsky commented on the innovations. - A soldier will have to constantly improve himself, proving that he is worthy of promotion.

In Soviet times, Murakhovsky recalls, the certification regime for a serviceman was one of the most effective tools for education. The commander prepared the document, it was considered by a special commission, and only after that the submission for the assignment of the next military rank was sent to a higher authority. The decision to award ranks up to the level of major was made for each specific officer at the level of the commander of the military district. Everything above was given by the Minister of Defense.

The essence of the innovations is to increase the level of motivation of officers when they receive regular military ranks, Murakhovsky is sure. - The monetary salary of a soldier consists of two parts: the amount paid for the position held, and the one that the officer receives according to his military rank. It is sad that the last parameter in the monetary allowance is significantly less than the amount paid for the position. As a result, the concept of an extraordinary award of a rank as a form of rewarding an excellent student in combat training has practically disappeared. The officers simply did not care whether the next rank would be received sooner or later.

It is symptomatic that the amendments to the law “On military duty and military service” and “On the status of military personnel” were adopted against the backdrop of the withdrawal of the Russian Aerospace Forces from Syria. Yesterday in the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin praised the successes of the Russian army on the Syrian front. He awarded 17 military men who participated in the anti-terrorist operation with state awards. The Ministry of Defense told Izvestiya that all the awardees could also be presented for conferment of extraordinary military ranks. They have the right to apply for higher command positions. In any case, when considering their submissions, the attestation commissions will be obliged to proceed from the actual merits of military personnel, and not from the time they spent in one position.

This is not the first award for the regional institution in 2017. Previously, the State Budgetary Institution "Center for Paralympic Training" of the city of Krasnodar was a national award established by the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation in the nomination "Hope of Russia".

Laureate in the nomination "Best Sports Manager" named Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Physical Culture and Sports of the Legislative Assembly of Kuban, Chairman of the Olympic Council of the Krasnodar Territory Irina Karavaeva.
“The work of the management, built in the Krasnodar PBC Lokomotiv-Kuban, corresponds to the level of the leading European clubs. Therefore, I believe that the President of Lokomotiv-Kuban Andrey Vedischev can rightfully be called the Best Sports Manager of 2017. The results that the club is showing this season, and the stormy, growing interest from the fans, clearly illustrate the correct and competent work of the management,” she emphasized.

“I am very pleased to receive this award from the hands of an Olympic champion. On behalf of the club, I want to say that the victory in this nomination is the merit of all the players, coaches, employees and managers of PBC Lokomotiv-Kuban. We will continue to delight with our game and work for our fans,” said Alexei Savrasenko, general manager of PBC Lokomotiv Kuban.

"Best Coach" in the Krasnodar Territory, according to the results of 2017, he was named by the coach of the Kuban Group of Companies and the Russian women's national handball team, the 2016 Olympic champion and the best coach of the Russian Federation Evgeny Trefilov.

The winner in this nomination was the head coach of the SKIF men's handball club Oleg Khodkov, under whose leadership the team in 2017. For the first time in history, she became the owner of the Russian Cup and Super Cup.
“It is with particular pleasure that I present the award to this specialist. It is very pleasant that handball is being watched in the region, the successes and achievements of our teams are celebrated with similar awards. I want to wish my colleague success in this difficult job,” Trefilov said.

“In the depths of my soul, perhaps, I understood that our team became the best in the Krasnodar Territory following the results of the past year. But the fact that I am recognized as the best mentor came as a surprise. Our great desire to win, to progress with each game, led us to the titles won last year, and to victory in this nomination, ”Oleg Khodkov said in response.

To win in the nomination "Team of the Year" PBC "Lokomotiv-Kuban", handball clubs "Kuban" and SKIF, as well as rugby club "Kuban" claimed. As a result, the rugby club Kuban became the laureate of the RBC South "Sportsman of the Year" award.

The award from the hands of the Chairman of the Federation of Sports Journalists of the Krasnodar Territory and Advisor to the Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Maxim Osadnik was received by the captain of the Kuban RK, player of the Russian national rugby team Vladimir Ostroushko.

“Kuban sports have always been famous for our teams in playing sports, and now there is not a single year in which our clubs would not bring awards and titles to the region. The Krasnodar Territory is included in the top 5 Russian regions that set the tone for team sports in the country. The winner in this nomination from year to year proves that he is the best in Russian rugby-7, and in recent years in Europe. Considering that rugby-7 has been an Olympic sport since 2016, the successes of RK Kuban in the national arena become doubly significant,” Maxim Osadnik emphasized.

In 2017, the Kuban rugby club once again became the champion of Russia and for the second time in a row won the title of the winner of the Rugby-7 European Champions Cup. According to the results of the Russian rugby-17 championship, Kuban stopped one step away from winning bronze medals. In addition, the reserve team of Krasnodar - the Center for Sports Training in team sports - for the first time in history won the bronze of the national championship in rugby-7.

“It is very unexpected and at the same time pleasant to receive an award in this nomination in competition with such strong and titled clubs. The victory in the “Team of the Year” nomination is a merit of the whole club,” admitted Vladimir Ostroushko.

Special category winner "Discovery of the Year" from the general partner of the project PJSC "Krayinvestbank" was named by the adviser to the chairman of the board of PJSC "Krayinvestbank" Alexander Khlon.

“First of all, as a fan, I want to say thank you to all our athletes and nominees for the emotions that you give us by doing this difficult job. I can watch at two in the morning how Vladimir Ostroushko, being on the other side of the world, makes a productive attempt. I am overwhelmed with emotions when I watch how Evgeny Vasilievich Trefilov sincerely rejoices at the success of his wards. I admired when I saw Aleksey Savrasenko literally a month ago, risking his life, playing basketball in Syria. We are glad that we have the opportunity to live with you in the same city, to see you, to meet you on the street,” Alexander Khlon emphasized.

PBC Lokomotiv-Kuban became the laureate in this nomination for the development of the concept for the 2017/18 season "Main Team"

The award was given to Denis Lagutin, Marketing Director of PBC Lokomotiv-Kuban and the author of the idea of ​​the "Main Team".
“The club itself has not been the discovery of the year for a long time, Lokomotiv-Kuban is a long-accomplished phenomenon and a European top club. As for our seasonal concept, it's pretty cool when fiction is harmoniously connected with reality and in reality a similar story turns out. I want to thank the management of PBC Lokomotiv-Kuban, which allowed the marketing team to implement such a rather bold and non-standard idea as the “Main Team,” said Denis Lagutin.

For example, tell our customers this, otherwise the titles, wow, but blood and sweat ... well, obviously less than the Olympians have shed.
Yes, and this tradition has been going on for decades, Kharlamov is a major, Tretyak is a colonel already now ... etc.

Some of the regular officers, perhaps, cut off the ear of the phrase "Colonel Pavel Kolobkov" or "Senior Lieutenant Evgeni Plushenko." Many military men, among whom, by the way, was the former Minister of Defense Marshal Igor Sergeyev, believe that the army should not be confused with sports and art. And even more so to pay athletes for stars on shoulder straps. However, it has already historically developed that the military department and the CSKA sports society are in the closest relationship. In the distant forties, the players of this society were even called the "team of lieutenants." The fact is that in the Great Patriotic War, sixteen football players of the Central House of the Red Army (the Central House of the Red Army - the name of the society until 1950), who had a secondary education behind them, were urgently drafted into the army and forced to take officer courses, after which they were sent deep into the country to train cadets in military affairs . As soon as the war moved away from the walls of Moscow, the athletes were returned to the capital, and soon the young lieutenants were playing football again. Among them were the legendary Vsevolod Bobrov, Valentin Nikolaev, Alexei Grinin, Vladimir Demin (Grigory Fedotov received the title before the war). Later, they were joined by a military officer, front-line soldier Yuri Nyrkov, who made an excellent defender. The "team of lieutenants" won the national championship five times in seven years. In those years, there was also an Air Force club (for football, hockey, basketball), which was created personally by Vasily Stalin.

Lieutenant Captains

In Soviet times, the salary of athletes who played for CSKA was much less than in teams that contained large factories, combines and even trade union organizations on their balance sheets. The salary of army football players and hockey players in the 60-70s did not exceed 160 rubles. per month. Another 20 rubles. they were given out for rations or, as the athletes themselves said, "for bread." However, the military department came up with a peculiar kind of legal surcharge - for military rank. CSKA is still proud that the society had a "transparent" accounting - no envelopes or "left" payments. Each star on shoulder straps brought its owner about 80 rubles. True, according to the existing staffing table (it was in effect until the collapse of the Soviet Union), the ceiling for the current CSKA football player was the rank of senior lieutenant. CSKA in this regard envied the eternal competitors - Dynamo. They were awarded the rank of captain, and Lev Yashin, as an exception, was awarded major epaulettes. In addition, the players were entitled to bonuses (60 rubles per hand win). After defeats, army generals reproached their football players: "How can you play so badly, because you get more than a division commander."

A different situation has historically developed in hockey CSKA, which for decades has been the base club of the national team. There, extraordinary titles were awarded after each victorious World Championship or Olympic Games. So, the legendary goalkeeper Vladislav Tretiak ended his career with the rank of lieutenant colonel. According to the state, only the head coach of the team, Viktor Tikhonov, could bear such a title. It is not surprising that almost the entire army ice squad of the 70s and 80s consisted of senior officers. In addition, an athlete-officer had the right to receive a pension - however, for this it was necessary to serve in the ranks of the Soviet army for a long quarter of a century. Those who left the team for a "citizenship" and other sports teams automatically lost their pensions.

Theoretically, they serve only in sports units and, understandably, on a free basis. Well, it’s just a reason to pay more, it’s no secret that the sports age is short-lived and a military pension will not hurt for the second part of your life.

And one more thing, we had a colonel-customer, he didn’t run through the mountains, he didn’t serve in Afghanistan, he didn’t show up in the barracks in the Far East either. He stuck around at the factory, was rude to technologists and other engineers, in the evening he was added to the tavern and pestered the factory girls. When they rebuffed him, he threatened to "fire the fuck out" of them. On May 9, he put on a beautiful uniform with a bunch of commemorative medals, a real colonel. So, as for me, Colonel Tretiak did much more for the country than our colonel-customer. Despite the fact that our charter probably knows better.

The adopted and effective Federal Law "On Amendments to the Federal Law "On Military Duty and Military Service" and Article 28.5 of the Federal Law "On the Status of Military Personnel" dated February 15, 2016 N 20-FZ 2016 N 20-FZ) supplements the requirements that apply to military personnel when submitting for the assignment of the next military rank.

Until now, the basis for conferring the next military rank on a serviceman was the expiration of the term of military service in the previous military rank, and the condition was that the state should have provided for a military rank in the military position held higher than that which the serviceman has. Federal Law No. 20-FZ of February 15, 2016 provides for exceptions to this general rule. Here are the cases when the assignment of the next military rank to a serviceman should be delayed:
a) when a serviceman is at the disposal of the commander (chief);
b) when a serviceman is involved as an accused in a criminal case or a criminal case is initiated against him - until the criminal prosecution is terminated;

c) during the period of the proceedings on the commission of a gross disciplinary offense by a serviceman - until a disciplinary sanction is applied to him;
d) during the period of verifying the reliability and completeness of information on income, expenses, property and property-related obligations, compliance with the requirements for official conduct in respect of a serviceman - until a penalty is applied to him;
e) when presenting a serviceman for early dismissal from military service on the following grounds:
- in connection with the deprivation of his military rank;
- in connection with the loss of confidence in the serviceman;
- in connection with the entry into force of a court verdict on the appointment of a military serviceman with a sentence of imprisonment;
- in connection with the entry into force of a court verdict on the appointment of a military serviceman who is doing military service under a contract, a suspended sentence;
- in connection with expulsion from a military professional educational organization;
- in connection with the entry into force of a court verdict depriving a serviceman of the right to hold military positions for a certain period;
- in connection with the termination of the citizenship of the Russian Federation of a serviceman;
- in connection with the acquisition by a serviceman of citizenship (nationality) of a foreign state;
- due to non-fulfilment of the terms of the contract;
- in connection with the refusal of access to state secrets or the deprivation of the said access;
- as failed the test;
- in connection with the violation of prohibitions, restrictions and obligations related to military service;
- in connection with non-compliance with requirements, failure to fulfill duties, violation of prohibitions, non-compliance with restrictions established by the legislation of the Russian Federation and related to military service in the federal security service, state security bodies;
- in connection with the failure to pass, in accordance with the established procedure, mandatory chemical and toxicological studies of the presence in the human body of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their metabolites;
- in connection with the commission of an administrative offense related to the consumption of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances without a doctor's prescription or new potentially dangerous psychoactive substances;
e) during the period when a soldier is considered to have:
- a disciplinary sanction in the form of a warning about incomplete official compliance, reduction in military position, reduction in military rank by one step, reduction in military rank by one step with a reduction in military position;
- a disciplinary sanction applied for committing a gross disciplinary offence;
g) during the period of serving a criminal sentence by a serviceman in the form of restriction in military service or arrest;
h) until the repayment or removal of a criminal record from a serviceman;
i) before the end of the probation period when a serviceman enters military service under a contract;
j) during the period of suspension of military service.
A distinctive feature of the old and new procedures for conferring regular military ranks is shown in Table 1.

Table 1

Assignment of military ranks to military personnel

In addition, the Federal Law of February 15, 2016 N 20-FZ expands the list of gross disciplinary offenses, namely, the following cases of misconduct are currently considered gross, in addition to those established earlier:
- intentional damage or loss through negligence of a document proving the identity of a serviceman of the Russian Federation;
- violation of the rules and requirements establishing the procedure for conducting secret office work;
- violation of the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation;
- violation of the requirements of legislative and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation in the field of intelligence, counterintelligence and operational-search activities, which created conditions for causing damage to the security of the individual, society and the state, or the own security of the bodies engaged in such activities;
- Knowingly unlawful bringing of a serviceman to disciplinary or material liability;
- violation by the commander (chief) of the requirements for the safety of military service, which led to the death or disability, including temporary disability, of a serviceman and (or) a citizen called up for military training * (1).
In connection with the entry into force of the above changes, the Main Directorate of Personnel of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation explained that, in accordance with the Federal Law of February 15, 2016 No. grounds that prevent its assignment, it is necessary to conduct personal conversations, bringing the grounds for refusing to award the next rank under signature. At the same time, it is necessary to attach the list of the conversation to the personal file of the serviceman * (2), which at one time was provided for in the Soviet Army.
For the practice of law enforcement, of particular interest is the assignment of regular military ranks, depending on the expiration of the term for lifting the corresponding disciplinary sanction specified in the Federal Law of February 15, 2016 N 20-FZ. Compliance with the time frame by officials will contribute to the reasonable submission of military personnel for the assignment of regular military ranks.
To clarify the period of time during which military ranks are not awarded to military personnel, one should be guided by the provisions of Art. 34-36, 96, 103 of the Disciplinary Charter of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the RF Armed Forces), which determine the conditions for the removal of previously applied penalties.
According to Art. 36 of the Administrative Code of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the removal of a disciplinary sanction - reduction in military rank (position) - from soldiers, sailors, sergeants and foremen is carried out no earlier than six months from the date of its application. Soldiers, sailors, sergeants and foremen are restored to their former military rank only when they are appointed to the corresponding military position.
The removal of a disciplinary sanction - reduction in military position - from ensigns, midshipmen and is carried out no earlier than one year from the date of its application. A disciplinary sanction - reduction in military position - may be removed from a serviceman without simultaneously reinstating him in his previous position.
The removal of a disciplinary sanction - a warning about incomplete official compliance - is carried out no earlier than one year from the date of its application, after which the commander (chief) within 30 days makes a decision (petitions) to remove this disciplinary sanction or, if the serviceman has not corrected his behavior exemplary performance of military duty, and the penalty did not play its educational role - about the reduction of this serviceman in a military position or early dismissal of him from military service in the prescribed manner (Article 96 of the Administrative Code of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation).
As for the timing of the removal of previously applied other types of penalties for gross disciplinary offenses, here one should rely on the basic conditions formulated in Art. 34, 35 DU of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, i.e. the commander has the right to withdraw a disciplinary sanction only after it has played an educational role and the serviceman has corrected his behavior by exemplary performance of military duty. When determining the type of encouragement (including when applying encouragement in the form of the removal of a previously applied disciplinary sanction), the nature of the merits, diligence and distinctions of the serviceman, as well as his previous attitude to military service (Article 34) are taken into account. If a disciplinary sanction applied to a serviceman (with the exception of disciplinary sanctions provided for in Art. 36 of the RF Armed Forces) is not lifted after a year and he does not commit another disciplinary offense during this period, then the disciplinary sanction is removed after the expiration of the period (Article 103 of the Armed Forces of Ukraine) RF).
Consequently, the specificity of the incentive measure - the removal of a disciplinary sanction - lies in the fact that, along with the general basis for its application - the presence of personal merit, reasonable initiative, diligence and distinction in service, additional grounds are required: firstly, the previously applied disciplinary sanction must fulfill their educational role and, secondly, the serviceman must correct his behavior by exemplary performance of military duty. Only in this case, a serviceman who was previously disciplined for a gross violation of military discipline has the right, subject to the fulfillment of the remaining mandatory conditions (being in the corresponding military position and the expiration of the term of military service in the previous military rank), to apply for his nomination for the assignment of the next military rank.
In connection with the foregoing, the procedure for conferring a military rank introduced by the Federal Law of February 15, 2016 N 20-FZ becomes one of the stimulating legal means for the conscientious (proper) performance of military service duties by a military serviceman. The assignment of regular military ranks to servicemen is the right of the commander (chief), which he exercises only in the absence of violations of military discipline by the serviceman. Thus, at the moment, the procedure for conferring the next military rank, which has been discussed for a long time in scientific legal literature * (3), has been implemented, which encourages military personnel to conscientiously fulfill their duties and not violate military discipline.
It should be noted that this system of awarding ranks has long been used in other types of public service, in particular, in customs authorities, in internal affairs bodies, and in the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation (see Table 2).

table 2

Comparative characteristics of the features of the assignment of the next special ranks used in various types of public service, in the presence of disciplinary sanctions

Moreover, when conferring a special rank in the customs authorities, internal affairs bodies and the Investigative Committee, the emphasis is on the absence of any outstanding disciplinary sanctions, which, in our opinion, is a more reasonable approach and, accordingly, increases the value (prestige) of the military rank received precisely for merit soldier. In this case, military personnel are in a more privileged position and, in our opinion, it would be advisable to introduce this rule into military service relations.
It seems that the additions made by the Federal Law of February 15, 2016 N 20-FZ to the procedure for conferring military ranks will help stimulate military personnel to improve the results of their service activities. Violators of military discipline, brought to disciplinary responsibility for committing gross disciplinary offenses, as well as having the above disciplinary sanctions, who previously undeservedly enjoyed the loyalty of military legislation, will not be able to receive the next military rank until the disciplinary sanction is removed from them.

*(1) Theoretically, when committing a gross disciplinary offense, commanders (chiefs) may limit themselves to severe punishment in relation to a serviceman who violates military discipline. However, as law enforcement practice shows, recently commanders prefer to dismiss military personnel for failure to fulfill the terms of the contract when they commit these offenses (see, for example: Islamova E.R., Golovko I.I.

Question 1: DD! My son entered the military department under the reserve officer program in 2015. In paragraph 20 of Resolution 152 of 06-08-2008, the dependence of the rank received at the end of training at the military department on the higher education received (the number of hours of training is also not determined for various ranks) is not spelled out. Until the release of the Resolution of 04/23/2016 upon graduation from St. Petersburg State University, students received the military rank of reserve officer. And what are the prospects for students now, who will have to graduate from the military department in 2018 and bachelor's degree from St. Petersburg State University. Will they have military training after the 3rd year and what rank and when can they apply for, having mastered the curriculum of 450 hours (in general, according to the program of reserve officers)?

Question 2: Dear Zorina Valerievna. On June 30, 2016, you answered the question about conferring a military rank upon completion of a bachelor's degree and referred to paragraph 32 and paragraph 42 of Resolution 152 of 06-03-2016. But paragraph 20 of this resolution contains, as amended on April 23, 2016, an indication that the rank of reserve officer can only be obtained after graduating from the magistracy. Those. even if a young person started training in the reserve officer program before the release of these amendments, he will not receive the title of reserve officer upon graduation from the bachelor's degree, despite the fact that he attended the full course and passed the training camp? And, apparently, he will not receive any title at all if he does not graduate from the magistracy, because there is no talk of the possibility of lowering the rank anywhere .... That is. if a student was studying to be a soldier or sergeant, then he would have been awarded this title at the end of the bachelor's degree, but it turns out that either to the magistracy or to the army? When entering the military department (for an officer) in 2015, of course, such a scenario was not presented, and now a bachelor's graduate student becomes a kind of hostage to the situation

Answer of Ekaterina Gennadievna Babelyuk, First Vice-Rector for academic, extracurricular and educational work of St Petersburg University:

In accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 52 of the Federal Law of March 28, 1998 No. 53-FZ “On Military Duty and Military Service”, citizens who have successfully completed military training programs for reserve officers, military training programs for sergeants, reserve foremen, or military training programs for soldiers and reserve sailors are credited to the reserve with the assignment of the corresponding military rank.

Training under the military training programs for reserve officers, military training programs for sergeants, foremen of the reserve or military training programs for soldiers, reserve sailors is carried out in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 6, 2008 No. 152 "On the training of citizens of the Russian Federation under the military training program in federal state educational institutions of higher education”. Paragraph 42 of Annex No. 2 to the above resolution establishes that a citizen who has completed training in an educational organization and passed the final certification in military training is assigned the appropriate military rank in the prescribed manner upon enrollment in the reserve.

Paragraph 20 of the wording of the regulation, which was in force before the adoption of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 23, 2016 No. 345, established that the study by citizens of academic disciplines in the military training program was carried out on the basis of the knowledge they received in the course of mastering special disciplines in the main educational program necessary for obtaining qualifications "specialist" or qualifications (degrees) "master". Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 23, 2016 No. 345 did not change the qualification requirements for the development of military training programs for reserve officers.

Thus, after passing the final certification for the military training program, your son will need to master the main educational program of the master's program and submit a master's degree to the educational department for military training programs, after which your son will be presented for the rank of reserve officer.
