The Ministry of Digital Development emphasizes that the changes are technical in nature. It is said that "nothing changes for citizens and military commissariats who will use the register in the future."

It is argued that the implementation of the measures provided for by the decree will not entail socio-economic, financial and other consequences for the subjects of entrepreneurial and other economic activities, and will not negatively affect the achievement of the goals of state programs of the Russian Federation. The implementation of the tasks is planned by redistributing the budget allocations already brought by the Ministry of Digital Development of Digital Resources from the federal budget within the framework of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation," as well as at the expense of additional funds from the federal budget.^[3]

The Russian government approved a bill on the interaction of employers with military registration and enlistment offices through an electronic register of conscripts. This decision was made on July 2, 2024 as part of the implementation of the president's instructions on the conscription of citizens for military service.

The bill clarifies the provisions of federal law No. 53-FZ "On Military Duty and Military Service," concerning the information interaction of military registration and enlistment offices with organizations in which citizens who are registered with military personnel work or study. Such organizations are obliged to send the necessary information about citizens to the military registration and enlistment offices, including using the State Public services portal. The new bill proposes to allow the use of other information systems provided for by federal law for data exchange.

The explanatory note to the document notes that this measure is aimed at simplifying and automating the process of accounting for information about citizens subject to military registration. This will maintain the relevance of the data and ensure more effective interaction between employers and military registration and enlistment offices.

The electronic register of military registration, created within the framework of this bill, will become one of the main tools for the implementation of this initiative. It will provide an automated mode of accounting for information contained in military registration documents, which will increase the availability of the use of all possible tools for electronic interaction.^[4]

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin opened the FSB access to the data of conscripts

The government allocates 3.8 billion rubles for the creation of an electronic register of military registration

The government allocates 3.8 billion rubles for the creation of an electronic register of military registration. This, as Forbes writes at the end of March 2024, is reported in the passport of the digital transformation program for 2024 and the planning period 2025-2026 of the Ministry of Digital Development.

The source of the publication on the information security market believes that when implementing the project, it is possible to meet 3.8 billion rubles and at the same time protect the system from external cyber attacks and prevent data leaks. " This amount, according to Ivan Panchenko, co-founder of Postgres Professional database management systems, looks small against the background of 1.3 billion rubles, which were going to be allocated for a "much less significant and less critical in terms of security" Russian analogue of GitHub.

Mikhail Komin, an expert on digitalization of public administration, in a conversation with Forbes called the transfer of the register of the Ministry of Defense by the end of 2024 an impossible task.

Probably, by the end of this year, it will be possible to launch a prototype by the end of this year, which will be able to work on an enclave principle, for example, for several regions - Moscow and Tatarstan. But for most other regions, either a plug will be installed (a screen that simulates the process of the registry), or the Ministry of Digital Development will further reduce the functionality of the registry, Komin said.

In his opinion, for such complex systems as the electronic register of military registration, the cost of almost 4 billion rubles does not look too high. However, the expert continues, it is extremely difficult to spend this money in a year effectively when implementing such a project. Most likely, work on the creation of such a register began back in 2022, and 3.8 billion rubles is compensation for the resources already spent, as well as the plan for 2024, the expert added. ^[5]

The authorities abandoned plans to create a register of military registration on the Gostech platform

On January 22, 2024, it became known that the Russian authorities refused to create a register of military registration on the Gostech platform - instead, the system is planned to be deployed from scratch on the basis of the Gosoblako infrastructure cloud platform. However, this can lead to an increase in the project implementation time.

We are talking about the creation of the state information service "Unified Register of Military Accounting" (GIS YERVU). This is a specialized base of military-liable citizens, with the help of which it is planned to put them on military registration, as well as send out summons in electronic form. The register will include such information as passport data, email address and phone number, TIN, place of residence, marital status and number of children, as well as information about the employer or educational institution, criminal records and health status.

Russian authorities refused to create a register of military registration on the Gostech platform

Initially, it was assumed that GIS ERVU will function on the Gostech platform. However, according to Forbes, at a meeting of the government commission on digital development, the use of information technologies to improve entrepreneurial activity, it was decided to revise the project. The service will be implemented within the framework of the State Unified Cloud Platform (Gosoblako). The changes are due to the fact that the register of military registration assumes "the presence of information, the placement of which on the basis of Gostekh is not provided for by the current legislation." The fact is that Gostech was created on the basis of the cloud platform Platform V from Sberbank, which is not certified to work with the state secret, which includes certain data on military-liable citizens. At the same time, gosteina requires compliance with many conditions and obtaining complex certification from the FSB and FSTEC.

Ivan Begtin, director of the Information Culture NGO, says that it may take three to four years to develop a register of military prisoners, but in "conditions of tight deadlines, it can be created in a year and a half." Minister of Digital Development Maksut Shadayev said in September 2023 that a full-fledged commissioning of the service is impossible before 2025 due to information security requirements.^[6]
