The Nevsky District Court of St. Petersburg refused to transfer to alternative civilian service 27-year-old Kirill Berezin, who was called up in September as part of «partial mobilization.» This is reported by the correspondent of «Papers» from the court. />«I refuse to do everything that is listed in the oath.» A mobilized Petersburger does not take up arms even in a military unit
On September 24, Berezin came to the district military registration and enlistment office after a summons was shoved at the door. He was going to explain that he had a 69-year-old grandmother on his payroll, and also took with him a statement asking for an alternative civilian service. Today you are descending, the rest of the questions are in the next order. I didn’t pass any medical examination, ”Berezin himself told Mediazone.
They promised to leave him in the defense of the Leningrad region, but a few days later they were taken to a military camp near Belgorod. According to Berezin’s acquaintances, the company commander threatened to “force him into a bus and send him to the territory of Ukraine” and that “he would have to kill people.”
A representative of the military enlistment office said in court that “they don’t teach to kill, but to defend one's homeland.» “The reason that Berezin is experiencing some kind of torment in the military unit, I ask you to recognize it as unfounded. According to this logic, we need to withdraw the entire military unit and release it from military service, ”the paper war correspondent quotes.
Berezin also disputed the lack of a medical examination before sending. According to a representative of the commissariat, «mobilized medical examinations rely only on the presence of obvious infectious diseases and only if the conscript has reported health problems in the military registration and enlistment office.»
