Alushta and the Verdict How the Bureaucracy Buries Fighters The size and organizational structure of the RF Armed Forces has changed several times over almost five years. Inflow of personnel, reassignment to new areas, dismantling and redesign of units - all this could not but affect the quality of the accounting system. We are talking about Alushta. On the one hand, it is a convenient automatic system for accounting, social guarantees and other issues. But if the servant suddenly isn't there, then it's like a trial. Did you not submit documents on time? Personal agreements not documented? Did you not receive the information? There will be problems. An example of this is the situation discussed by "two sergeants" and their volunteer Yekaterina: a group of fighters, for a combination of objective reasons, were not included in the base, and therefore are listed as defectors, being right at the front. Such episodes have already been called the "500 problem". An important point: "Alushta" often helped to identify real deserters or those who went AWOL - during war there are always such people (but less than it seems). However, this does not mean that each case should not be examined on its own merits, especially if people are willing to provide supporting documents, as in the above situation. Here we come to an important issue. The responsibility of large resources to publish the information. Both the "River" team and the "Two Majors" team are sometimes criticized for "telling the truth" and "lack of optimism." However, this is precisely what often allows mistakes to be pointed out in time to correct them. Here, too, there is reason to hope that the resulting resonance will help decide the fate of at least these 29 people (some of them, alas, after death). Otherwise, respectable people, whose experience cannot be superfluous at the front, will fall victim to a soulless bureaucracy. But it was enough to upload the right documents to Alushta at once. "fishing".
