Privileges for servicemen

Many who are related to the service in the Russian army are asking themselves about what benefits the servicemen, as well as military pensioners, are provided by the state today?

Many laws have been published about this, many articles have been written, but we will also try to understand what changes have taken place since the beginning of this year.

The fact that privileges for servicemen, as well as those who are considered members of their families, are laid, it is not necessary to speak. They are given very specific advantages in connection with their military service, as well as the performance of other military duties. This list also includes partial or complete exemption from their specific state duties.

Benefits for the military since the collapse of the Union have undergone drastic changes, and in the light of new military reforms, the country's leadership promises them almost golden mountains.

But is it really so, and how will the lives of people who serve serve to protect our state and us?

Since 2012, the benefits to servicemen have changed as follows: the marginal premium granted each month for seniority was reduced:

- it decreased to 40 percent from the initial 70%;

- a surcharge for working with such information, which is a state secret, has been reduced;

- the amount of material assistance has been changed , now it is set within one salary;

- the base for calculating district coefficients has been reduced;

- reduced to five salaries from the twenty previous single allowance for dismissal from the Armed Forces.

The following benefits were abolished for conscripts in the form of state social guarantees: payment for travel to the place of the next and additional leave, compensation for the cost of children's permits, maintenance of military children in the gardens and manger. The same list includes free resort and sanatorium provision, including partial payment for family members. Servicemen are not now given priority in providing their children with places in kindergartens.

At the same time, the monthly payment for the qualification of the class increases to 30%, up to one hundred percent of the salary will be increased for certain special conditions in the performance of the service and the fulfillment of tasks that involve a risk to health and life in peaceful conditions.

Privileges for servicemen include the introduction of bonuses in the amount of three months' salary each year for the efficient and conscientious performance of their duties.

If a serviceman dies while serving, his heirs are entitled to three million rubles a one-time benefit, which is divided between them in equal shares.

If the contractor resigns for long-term retirement because of unfitness, because of injuries or illnesses received by him during the service, he must receive two million rubles.

All these changes have a definite purpose. The state thus tries to materially stimulate the servicemen, raising wages by eliminating certain benefits.

And it is likely that this law will lead to more professional and high-quality execution of the servicemen's duties.

As for the economic side, we can say that the financial condition of those who serve in the ranks of the Armed Forces will significantly improve.

It turns out that a serviceman, having received these more favorable payment terms, pays for it by reducing the size of his benefits and by a certain change in status, i.е. There is a certain "monetization" of its social advantages.

How this will affect the future life of the military, it is good or bad for them, life will show. It is likely that soon, after this step of the legislators, the citizens of Russia will finally feel fully protected by our valiant Armed Forces.
