At the checkpoint in front of the Georgian border, people are also turned around. Earlier, Fontanka wrote that they were also sent to Pulkovo for permission from the military commissars.
Kirill (not his real name) told Fontanka about his experience of passing—or rather, not passing—the checkpoint in Upper Lars. He is between 30 and 35, he is a reserve lieutenant, category “B”, he received the rank in 2010. The military specialty is associated with artillery.
“At 6 in the morning I left the house in St. Petersburg, on the Sapsan to Moscow, in the afternoon I flew to Vladikavkaz. From there at 7 pm we left. The entire oncoming lane is packed, 6-7 lanes. At some point they were walking. This is the fastest, as well as on bicycles, scooters. Therefore, I was at the border at about 5 in the morning,” he says. – From 5 to 8 we were looking for a car, where to sit to cross the border, it was impossible to walk. The service is 35-40 thousand, the closer to the checkpoint, the more expensive.
ShareAccording to Kirill, the border guards were not interested in details about his work in an IT company, much less about his category of fitness for military service. “They just put the foreigner in the tape that gives out information about me, and they immediately said that you were waiting aside,” he says. “They didn’t touch me, but they asked someone why you served, and now you are leaving.”
“As for the agenda, I don’t know if she came or not,” Kirill says. – I live between Moscow and St. Petersburg mostly, my parents also haven’t touched the mailbox for a long time. Soon they will arrive, they will look, at least I will understand whether they came or not, ”says Kirill. As a result, he was given a notice of a ban on leaving the territory of Russia. For clarification of information sent to the military registration and enlistment office.
