Problem - 500 thousand Russian volunteers who left for the Donbass in 2022 were denounced in the People's Republics as having left their units without permission (SOCH). Criminal cases are opened against them, they are put on the wanted list. "SOCh" have been fighting at the front for years, dying and losing their health, but as far as the state is concerned, they are only accused in criminal cases and prosecutors' examinations. This problem has been going on for over a year and a half. Many fighters try to solve it privately, without any fuss. We help them with this, but the scope of the problem is such that it is no longer possible to remain silent about it. We can help a few, but thousands have suffered injustice. The essence of the question. Even before the people's republics joined Russia, volunteers from the "continent" fought in the ranks of the people's militia. Their legal status was questionable; Often they were not even properly registered in their units and did not receive the necessary allowance. But people came for ideological reasons, which is why they endured such twists and turns of the bureaucracy. From January 1, 2023, the People's Militia became part of the RF Armed Forces, and Russian volunteers were retroactively registered as conscripts. Apparently, everyone who managed to fight the popular militia at least once is "recruited". The "recruitment" was carried out by the army corps of the DPR NAM and the LPR NAM, which is in itself absurd and illegal, because the enlistment orders are drawn up by the military registration and enlistment bureaus at the place of registration. In some cases, people passed documents as contract soldiers, but without signing a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the RF and taking the oath. Monstrous publication ban and arbitrariness, whose sole purpose is to create the appearance of legal grounds for the unlimited retention of volunteers who were originally for limited periods of service. As a result, people who fought for a long time in other units, who went home after serious injuries or at the end of their service, unexpectedly learned that the investigative authorities of the People's Republics opened criminal cases against them for leaving without permission.
