A draft dodger from Pervouralsk was sentenced for deceiving the medical commission with the help of a double.
In Pervoural'sk, a local resident was convicted for evading military service and using a forged document for this purpose.
As established by the court, the young man, lacking legal grounds for exemption or deferral from military service, acquired, stored, and used forged medical documents claiming he had a chronic illness, reports the press service of the Sverdlovsk region courts.
It was found that a completely different person—a hired stand-in with a real chronic illness—underwent the examination on his behalf.
After receiving documents with false information about his health condition, the accused Georgy Minin submitted them to the military enlistment office in 2023, where the draft commission recognized him as fit for limited military service, exempted him from the draft, and sent him to the reserves.
During the court hearing, Minin did not admit guilt, claiming that he underwent all examinations independently.
The Pervoural'sk City Court found the young man guilty under Part 3 of Article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Acquisition, storage, and use of a forged official document exempting from obligations") and Part 1 of Article 328 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Evasion from conscription in the absence of legal grounds") and imposed a fine of 100,000 rubles and a restriction of freedom for a period of 10 months.
The sentence has not yet entered into legal force and can be appealed within 15 days.
It is noteworthy that earlier a resident of Yekaterinburg confessed that, having a digestive system disease, he underwent FGDS more than fifty times since 2021 for those wishing to "dodge" the army. Over time, the fear that everything would be revealed compelled him to come to the investigators on his own.
