Russia Expands Military Commissariats' Access to Personal Data

Russian military recruitment offices will be able to track the income, health status, and criminal records of relatives of conscripts. The Ministry of Defense proposed expanding the list of information that recruitment offices can request from those subject to military service.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has prepared a draft order allowing military commissariats to obtain personal data on conscripts.
The data will be obtained on a non-commercial basis from federal and state agencies, enterprises, and institutions.
The information includes personal details, financial status, health records, legal history, and political activity.
The scope applies not only to conscripts but also to their relatives, including spouses, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws.
The draft order was published on the portal of normative legal acts.
The data will be used to assess the suitability of individuals for military service.
