The center on Yablochkova Street opened two weeks agoMOSCOW, April 16.
/Correspondent of TASS Olesya Kulinchik/. A single selection point for those wishing to sign a contract for military service opened in Moscow two weeks ago, and the number of its visitors has already exceeded several thousand during this time. A TASS correspondent was convinced of the demand for a new point, the comfort of visitors and the precise operation of the point on the principle of one window on Sunday.
The center is located on Yablochkova Street, in a multi-storey building of a former educational construction plant and a 15-minute walk from Timiryazevskaya and Dmitrovskaya metro stations. Strict inspection, verification of documents at the entrance - and the visitor finds himself between the wardrobe and the counters for receiving coupons in the electronic queue. Experienced contractors note that in other points of selection for military service, there is no such service.
Potential recruits have a completed questionnaire with them, printed out with contract.mos.ru, and a package of documents. If you do not have the form with you, you can take it here and fill it out in a specially designated recreation area. Together with those who wish to serve under a contract, attendants bend over the sheets - they check whether everything is filled in, as in the samples on the walls. The flows of visitors are guided by volunteers, as well as navigation on the floor and walls.
The volunteers discuss that the submission of documents and all testing takes about four to five hours. You can enter the center on weekdays from 09:00 to 18:00, exit - until 20:00; on Saturday, the point is open until 18:00, on Sunday - until 16:00. If, for some reason, it is not possible to pass all the selection steps from the first time, you can continue from the same stage where you left off at the second visit.
Among the women who came there are few - the lieutenants note that the girls are served under a contract mainly with medical or cook education.
About 300 volunteers manage to submit documents in a day. The age of those wishing to serve under a contract is mainly from 35 to 55 years, and experience and specialties vary.
Visitors are placed on sofas in a spacious waiting room. There are also brochures about contract service, military uniforms on mannequins, vending machines, screens with queue movement data and televisions - video games on game consoles correspond to the "theme". Previously, strangers strike up a conversation: they learned about the item from TV programs, messengers, from employers, acquaintances and volunteers on the streets of Moscow. Some clarified details about the conditions of the contract service on the hotline 117. The signals with the coupon numbers of their electronic queue terminal sound almost continuously.
In the spacious auditorium on the ground floor, documents are being received: the data is checked, entered into the system, volunteers help to quickly make scans and photos. Volunteers are explained about the payments: one-time at the signing of the contract - 195 thousand rubles; additional monthly from the Moscow authorities - 50 thousand rubles; regular surcharges - depending on the rank, military position, special conditions of service and combat success. In addition, contract servicemen participating in a special military operation are entitled to other guarantees, such as the status of a combat veteran and corresponding benefits, insurance payments in case of injury or injury, a social rehabilitation and adaptation program, additional benefits and guarantees of the subjects of the Russian Federation and other support measures.
The medical commission also consists of offices with specialists at computers, these data on the health of Muscovites have long been digitized and entered into the EMIAS system. After the conversation with the doctors - for testing to psychologists.
Instructors conduct a conversation about the military specialty with candidates. Not only the experience of military service is taken into account, but also the acquired civilian professions outside the army. After this stage, a curator remains in touch with the volunteer - he will help resolve any issues that arise and within 3-10 days will inform about the possibility of sending to the unit at a certain time and date.
Here, at the selection point for the service, you can apply for a bank card, apply to a notary or bailiffs. In general, visitors fairly compare it with the public services center "My Documents", where the work is organized on the principle of one window. Accompanying potential fighters note that the selection is organized clearly and with respect.
Every day from the parking lot at the rear of the point on Yablochkov Street, about 80-100 people are sent to different units - three or four flights to landfills in the Moscow region and the nearest regions, where they will sign contracts with career officers, and then undergo professional training. Here the restrained "atmosphere of the MFC" is replaced by patriotic songs and banners.
Waiting rooms, a storage room and a dining room. The lieutenant responsible for the dispatch notes with a smile that he left to serve in completely different conditions. When asked by a TASS correspondent about what is in backpacks and bags waiting for bus flights, they answer: "Soap and soap accessories." Also, of course, they contain "basic" personal belongings, medicines and dry rations.
The mood of those going to military units is calm, even combative: some say that "we need to help the guys," others admit that they would not be able to "look them calmly in the eyes" upon the return of friends who are already in the special operation zone. Everyone emphasizes that he thought about this decision for a long time and made it himself: "Because it is necessary when the Motherland is in danger." Those who came with the fighters talk about feelings of pride and support, barely restraining emotions. Among the mourners are representatives of all generations: spouses, children, mothers-in-law, sons-in-law, grandparents and even grandchildren.
The contractors tell how they prepared not themselves, but their loved ones before sending them: they settled household chores, married, registered real estate and cars on their relatives, explained to them where to turn for support. Family members of military personnel are entitled to social benefits and guarantees under the contract, such as enrolling children in any kindergarten and school, monthly payments for each child - almost 18.8 thousand rubles; free education in educational institutions for children of military personnel; assistance from a social worker at home and accommodation in a center for elderly relatives over 65 years old and other assistance.
Seeing off volunteers ends with a signal to build, roll call - and into the bus. They promise to write and call their loved ones - if possible.
