Current Problems of Counteraction to Crimes Against Military Service in Russian Federation
( Pp. 310-314)

Abstract: National security is of the utmost importance for any country. In the current geopolitical conditions of the conflict with Ukraine, in order to ensure the stable functioning of the Russian state, it is important not only to develop domestic policy, but also to improve the capabilities of the armed forces. Currently, there is a tendency for the spread of criminal behavior among persons directly related to military service. This fact is clearly demonstrated by a significant increase in the number of criminal acts committed in this area in recent years. In this context, many questions arise regarding the organization and implementation of the fight against crimes against military service.
The purpose of the present study is to analyze the mechanisms for combating crimes against military service in the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that modern mechanisms for combating crimes against military service are distinguished by their qualitative originality, since we are talking about the fight against criminal behavior spread among persons engaged in military service activities. Attention is focused on the existing problems in the functioning of the above mechanisms (misunderstanding by the population of the essence of the ongoing foreign and domestic policy of the Russian state in modern realities; the effectiveness of anti-Russian propaganda carried out by foreign states; the vulnerability of the information security of the Russian state, including in terms of large-scale dissemination of false information). The need for effective preventive and preventive activities is noted, taking into account current trends in the spread of criminal views among military personnel and persons in reserve during military training.
