Official sources say Moscow authorities are using surveillance cameras to track down young Russians who meet the requirements for compulsory military service.
“CCTV cameras in Moscow are used to identify the conscript’s place of residence,” said Maxim Loktev, chief military commissar of the Russian capital, quoted by TASS.
Loktev added that one of the main reasons for non-appearance at recruiting stations was the sending of subpoenas to addresses different from the addresses of potential recruits.
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin passed a law targeting men of military age who are not going to serve in the army, whether they are conscripts or reservists.
The law prohibits citizens from leaving the country who have been notified of their appearance at recruiting stations.
Russians have a two-week deadline to appear after written or electronic notification.
If notified individuals do not show up at the centers within 20 days, their ability to start a business, obtain a driving permit, purchase property, or apply for a bank loan will be limited.
