RIGHT TO ALTERNATIVE CIVIL SERVICE

The paper examines the evolution of alternative civilian service within the context of democracy in Russia, highlighting its legal and constitutional implications. It addresses discriminatory provisions in the Federal Law that affect citizens whose beliefs conflict with military service. The study notes the lack of comprehensive research on citizens' experiences with alternative civilian service, complicating legal assessments. It emphasizes the importance of developing theoretical foundations to ensure citizens can exercise their constitutional right to alternative service, as legislation continues to evolve.
