Conscription in Russia. Mt own siruation. Hi, I'm Ivan, i'm 16 years old. Have you ever heard about Conscription in Russia? Let's talk about this. Constitution of Russian Fediration is the main lawbook in our country. This book provides rights for people. But if you have borned in Russia with some gender characteristics(You are a man) our goverment deprives you this law for a year, cuz you have to serve in the military. I'm sure, you can't imagine horrors of Russian army, but I'll tell about them later. Ok, let's imagine that russian army is not so dangerous for your life(It's danderous without fact, that you have got guns and another things. No. No and else no. There are about five hundred suicides a year in our Military! Most of them -98% casues another point of view, from bulling by army co-workers.) There are only two genders for our goverment(m/f). Propaganda of another genders is a crime! All right, if you are a man, and you are 16 years old, you have to go to Military Commissariat, where you will start mediial examination. Most of people, who have some diseases (for ex. for Military i'm allright, but I have a often migraine) are allright. I can't imagine how can I be there. More other, there are a big propoganda of patriotism for boys, since teir birth. You are a man, you are strong gender, you mast to work for your goverment, you have to protect it, etc. But if don't want it? I have another values. Only way for me is studying. But, if you had have a mistake with choise of the profession? If you had understood that this univercity not for you? If you want to change your study program, you have to go to Military, otherwise you had done a crime! Militarry will be searching you by your becoming 27y.o. After that you should hides and be Mr Nobody. My parents haven't enough money to provide me living in another country. Now, I cant understand what is my own profesion. I've only one chance - to study in another counrty. I'm afrraid to miss it. I had to forgot about my hobbies, like speedcubing(solving ribics cube and another forms), walking with my gf, playing computer games. I have some difficulties with studying languages. It's very hard for me. I'm vorking hard, but i haven't enough language level now, and it's very difficult to find myself. So, i hope you have understood me. Thanks for your feedback!
