A Sverdlovsk fighter wasn't credited for the two years he spent in the Special Military Operation.

      A man from the Beloyarsky District of Sverdlovsk Oblast was not credited with two years of participation in the special operation toward his benefit-eligible service. The serviceman complained that the length of his time at the front had been significantly understated in official documents, State Duma deputy Maxim Ivanov reported.

      "It is important to understand that service members are entitled to benefits: time spent participating in combat operations as part of the Special Military Operation (SMO) is counted toward work experience at double the rate. In other words, one year counts as two," the parliamentarian explained on his Telegram channel.

      The serviceman said that, instead of two years of service, his military ID lists only 10 days of participation in the SMO, and that this period is entirely absent from the records of the social funds. After his complaint, the Central Military District prosecutor's office launched an inspection and found violations. As a result, the serviceman's period of participation in the special operation was fully credited toward his benefit-eligible service.
