Some Russian media outlets are rapidly catching up with their Ukrainian counterparts in terms of “hypo-eating” and “progressiveness”. For example, the Ekaterinburg edition Znak.com February 25, 2019 published a high-profile article about how a 16-year-old lying and not speaking disabled teenager Alexander received a summons to the draft board.





The material of the publication, in fact, is devoted to the moral censure of the employees of the military enlistment office. Other mass media, in their “hypo-eating”, went even further and, distributing this material, called it described “the top of cynicism”, referring to the military commissariat. Only at the very end of the material is there a small clarification from the military registration and enlistment office, it follows that the military enlistment office does not employ “nostradamuses”, but people who are not aware of someone’s disability.

After all, if the summons came to a disabled person after a physical examination, then it would be possible to really argue that this is a nightmare and the military registration and enlistment office, to put it mildly, is wrong. However, the employees of the military registration and enlistment office learn about the existence of a particular teenager when his draft age comes. After this, the military registration and enlistment office is obliged to "get to know" him and fix the corresponding relations between the state and the citizen. This procedure is called registration with a mandatory medical examination, i.e. the commission decides whether a person is fit for service or not.

The article provides a photograph of the summons from the military enlistment office and a photograph of a certificate of disability (on both sides). And there are no questions to these documents. Indeed, in Yekaterinburg, 16-year-old Alexander, a disabled child, received a summons to the military commissariat of the Verkh-Isetsky and Zheleznodorozhny districts, about which the mother of the unfortunate child, Elena, told the publication.

However, instead of calling the draft board, the boy’s mother immediately found journalists and told them the heartbreaking story of how she found the summons in the mailbox on February 25, 2019. On the agenda, her son was called up to the draft board on February 24, 2019. At the same time, she without batting an eye said that she herself had written out her son from the address to which the letter arrived on February 19, 2019. Why she did this, is not specified, but it is reported that she "definitely will not go there with the child" (to the military enlistment office).

At the same time, they were informed from the press service of the Central Military District that all adolescents received subpoenas. They specified that the military registration and enlistment offices have no medical data on young people until they themselves come to the military enlistment office. However, parents or other legal representatives of the child may provide the military enlistment office with disability documents, i.e. the teenager himself is not required to come.
