The President instructed the government “to ensure that activities related to entering the pool of Russian citizens in reserve».

The decree states that the financing of activities related to its implementation, carried out by the Ministry of Defence budget.

Creating a mobilization of manpower as a new system of professional military training of reservists was written in one of the “May decrees” Putin. The relevant law was adopted in 2012 and entered into force on 1 January 2013.

According to him before retiring to the reserve soldiers to sign a contract in which it undertakes to periodically undergo military training, differing significantly more serious preparation of the usual fees for reservists. The first contract on the presence in the reserve is for a term of three years, after the contract may be renewed for a period of three years, five years or for a shorter period – before the age limit in the reserve.

For material incentives Reservists have been provided monthly payments, which should be between 5 to 8 thousand. rub. Such a system, as a professor at the Military University, wrote Constantine Fateev, should provide better training reservists in connection “with the rapid updating of military means, improving the methods of warfare, deep specialization and division of labor, the emergence of new military occupations».

The first decree on the establishment of mobilization manpower Vladimir Putin signed in April 2013. Then he created “a period of testing of the new system of training and accumulation of mobilization of human resources.” According to estimates of the Duma Committee on Defense, the costs of the experiment had to make in 2014 279.4 million rubles., In 2015 – 288.3 million, in 2016 – 324.9 million.

However, in October 2014, “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” reported that the formation of professional mobilization reserve has not started due to lack of funding. “In view of the fact that the budget for 2014 and the following two-year period was not envisaged earmarking funds to ensure mobrezerva, its formation is carried on at least until 2016,” – he said then the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security Nikolai Fedoryak.

The experts any questions and to the number of reservists attached to the new program. As stated by Lieutenant-General Vladimir remains, according to the Defense Ministry of Russia, in the years 2014-2016 provided for the number of reserve 5 thousand. People. Military analyst Alexander Goltz in conversation with RBC called this number “ridiculous.” “It’s only two teams, the results of an experiment of this magnitude can not bring,” – says the analyst.

President signs new decree says that “despite the economic difficulties, the Ministry of Defence and the Russian leadership has a group of people who want to form a military reserve sun in a civilized manner, “says Goltz. According to him, the military leadership is constantly a struggle between those who believe, “as in Soviet times, the mobilization of resources of all male citizens over 18 years, from which, in addition to the periodic call charges do not need anything,” and those who understand that the increasing complexity of military equipment military specialty knowledge must be maintained.

According to Goltz, manpower mobilization model is closer to the one that adopted in the United States or Britain. It also signed a contract obligating transferred to the reserve to undergo regular training, for which an allowance is paid.
