"United Russia" proposed to calculate the military service for the length of the municipal service The deputies of the United Russia and senators presented a bill to the State Duma that would allow military service and service in internal affairs bodies to be taken into account when calculating the length of service in the municipal service. The document was signed by 341 members of parliament. The authors of the initiative hope that the changes will help participants in the war against Ukraine to get jobs in government agencies. According to the bill, both military service and contract military service will count as service time. Conscripts and conscripts are given a preferential calculation: one day of service is equal to two days of municipal service. This could allow former military personnel to apply for higher positions, receive pay increases and additional vacation days. In the explanation, the authors state that the fighters need "additional support" in finding employment, including as part of the "Heroes' Time" program, which prepares them for work in leadership positions in state and municipal buildings.
