Compilation rules

Before writing a document, it would be a good idea to seek advice from a lawyer or study the current legislation to determine whether the misconduct identified by the military personnel is an offense. Otherwise, this can lead to serious consequences, especially if it is determined that the facts given are not true.

• Abuse of the right to appeal to government agencies is not allowed, especially since administrative liability is provided for this;
• supervisory authorities do not accept any applications from anonymous persons, therefore the applicant’s signature must appear after the text;
• if the claim contains issues that cannot be resolved by the supervisory authority (due to the lack of relevant competence), the document will be sent to the body or specific official who is authorized to make decisions on such applications.

Procedure for compilation

The complaint can be drawn up in any form according to the sample, since the law does not provide for the use of standard forms for such applications. It is preferable that this be a printed text, otherwise there may be problems with studying the document, which is especially important for applicants with illegible handwriting.

In the upper right corner of the document you must indicate the recipient of the claim and your full data without abbreviations or inaccuracies.

The use of emotional retreats is not allowed, as this is not constructive.

The text must describe the specific situation, indicating the dates, names and positions of the parties to the conflict.

The final part of the document is a petition, which should be separated into a separate paragraph. It should begin with the word “Please,” after which you can state your wishes and requirements.

At the end, the date must be indicated, and in conclusion, the citizen signs the document and indicates his full name (with the obligatory decoding of the initials). The date of signature may not coincide with the date of submission of the application, even if it is handed over to the authorized person at a personal reception.

Attention! Any response involves taking action that may have serious consequences. In this regard, you should contact the Military Prosecutor's Office only in extreme cases.

Online via Internet reception

In order to exercise the legal right of Russians to appeal, a separate section “Internet reception” operates on the official website of the supervisory authority, which can be used to file a complaint online.

To do this, you will need to fill out a form with the following information:

• how the response will be delivered. In the “Get a response” item, select the appropriate option (in electronic or written form);
• view. The complaint may be of a general nature, or may relate to issues of combating corruption, calls for extremist activities and mass riots, as well as participation in events that are held in violation of the established order;
• where to send a message. You need to select the addressee of the complaint from the drop-down menu. If necessary, you can contact directly the military unit where the offense was committed;
• personal and contact information (full name, occupation, postal address, email address);
• a topic that should be selected from the drop-down menu (for example, “On violation of the rights of military personnel”). If the applicant does not know which topic is best to choose, then this field can be left blank;
• the text of the message, which should briefly describe the current situation, indicating the facts, circumstances and officials who are participants in the incident. If possible, you can refer to the rules of law that were violated.

To prevent an electronic complaint from appearing unfounded, you can attach files to it that can be used as evidence of an offense or crime. The total volume of attachments should not exceed 5 MB.

To complete the operation, enter the verification security code “captcha” and click the “Submit” button. After this, information will appear about the successful submission of the complaint and the assignment of a registration number to it.

Important! If the applicant chooses an email as a method of receiving a response, then when filling out the form he will not have to indicate his mailing address. And vice versa.
