Draftees
For instance, the young man used to buy stationeries and refill cartridge of the service printer (on the money provided by the officer), bring the officer’s son from a kindergarten on car belonging to the soldier’s father, help to move the commander’s private car and bring servicemen to a training range.
In order to conceal absence of the soldier, the senior lieutenant told everybody that the soldier had been sent to the range within a combined unit. However, after revision of the record book for temporarily absent personnel it was found that the draftee had not been sent to any service trip and, according to documents, was supposed to be in the base.
Finally, a criminal case was initiated on this basis, and the Maikop Court Martial charged the soldier of avoidance of military duties and sentenced him to a fine amounting to15,000 roubles. It is still unknown what happened to the officer letting the soldier to leave the base.
