LAWS ON MMITARY TRAINING AND
Der EXa'?TION OF STUDENTS IN THE USSR
The Soviet law of 1 September 1939 on Universal Military Service was pub-
lished in the No 32, 1939 issue of the Moscow gazette of the Supreme Soviet
USSR, Vedomosti Verkhovnogo Soveta SSSR. Article 3 of the law extended compulsory
military service to all able-bodied citizens of the USSR, without distinction
of race, nationality religion, education, social origin, and position. Under
Article 14 persons are subject to induction in the year of their 19th or, if they
have completed secondary school, in the year of their 18th birthday.
As published in the gazette, the provisions for duration of active service
for enlisted men under the law (Article 7) are as follows: for privates in
the ground forces and MVD, 2 years; for noncommissioned officers in the ground
forces and MVD, 3 years; for privates and noncommissioned officers in the mil-
itary and naval air forces, and the coastal defense, 4 years; for sailors and
petty officers in the navey, 5 years. The Moscow newspaper Pravda for 12 Novem-
ber 1955 announced that the terms of service for privates and noncommissioned
officers of the air forces and the coastal defense, as well as for sailors and
petty officers of ships of the Navy has been reduced by one year.

Since 1945, the functions of the Main Administration of Military Training
have apparently been confined to premilitar; training, with civilian training
left to the civil defense organization (Osoaviakhim, Dosarm, Dosflot, and Dosav,
and now Dosaaf).
The basic statute governing premilitary training is the above-cited law on
military service of September 1939, which calls for elementary military train-
ing for all pupils of the 5th to 7th grades, and premilitary training for pupils
of the 9th to 10th grades. Under this law, students a` the vuz (higher educa-
tional institution) level are also required to take premilitary training.
According to a 13 August 1946 decree of the Council of Ministers USSR, as
reported in the I:oscow newspaper Voyennoye Obucheniye on 17 January 1947, the
elementary military training program established for boys of the 5th to 7th
grades is confined to physical training and is not directly military training.
The 1939 law said nothing about: the exemption or deferment of students.
However, a 15 September 1943 decree of the Council of People's Commissars USSR
sY.,,.ifled 83 technical vuzes whose students were to be exempted from the draft.
This decree, as published. in Vysshaya Shkola Osnovnyye Postanovleniya Prikazy
i Instruktsii (The Higher School --Basic Decrees, Orders and Instructions T,
Sove" tskaya liauka" Publishing House, Moscow. 1945, pages 73-81, also listed
tekhnickuns (secondary special educational institutions) under various people's
commissariats whose students were exempt from induction into the Red Army.
The second edition of Vysshaya Shkola, Ornovny,e Postanovleniya, Prikazy
i Inatruktsii (1948, pages 113-11 carried a 2u January 19 5 decree of the
Council of People's Convnissars on the reorganization of the Moscow Planning
Institute into the Moscow State Economics Institute, extending the provisions
of the 1943 law to the institute's undergraduates, and also exempting graduate
students from the draft.
It is not known whether the 1943 law has been extended to cover more tekh-
nikums and vuzes. However on C June 3950 Kazakhstanskaya Pravda (Alma-Ata) nub-
lishe' a notice of enrollment of new students at the Kazakh Institute of Mining
and F..,!tallurgy, one of the technical vases on the 1943 list, specifying that
all students were deferred from army service. This demonstrated that the law
was still in effect as of that date.
That the students of seas Soviet educational institutions do not enjoy
a deferred status was demonstrated in a 2 July 1955 ad,ertisement in Komsomol'
skaya Pravda (Iloscow) for enrollment in the Derkul'skiy Horse Trainer and
Jockey School, which specified that this Ukrainian secondary educational institu-
tion was not accepting members of the classes of 1936 and 1937 because they
would be called up for army service before completion of the school's 2-year
course.
The material presented beluw, divided into the categories of military
training and draft exemption, has been given in chronologico.1 order. The
text of the 13 Au.,ast 19-46 decree of the Council of Ministers USSR, limiting
military training to pupils of secondary schools, is unavailable; however, an
order of the Ministry of Higher Education USSR, changing the premilitary and
physical, training programs of teklnikwn students, in accordance with the 13 Au-
gust 1946 ,decree, has been included instead. A section devoted to conjectureon
inc draft exemption of graduate students has also been included.

B. Conjecture on Draft Exemption of Graduate Students
Supplement No 3 to Decree No 996, 15 September 1943, on measures and
procedures for granting stipends at vuzes and tekhnikums and on the exemption
of students from induction into the Red Army (see part A above)j 83
whose undergraduate students are draft exempt. Graduate studentsloftthese vuzes
same vuzes, according to Supplement No 1 of this decree, receive increased
stipends. It is possible, therefore, that the graduate students of these vuzes
are also draft exempt, although no legislation confirming this has been found.
Supplement No 1 lists 99 vuzes whose graduate students receive increased
stipends. The first 85, with two exceptions, are identical and are in the
same order as the 83 vuzes listed in Supplement No 3.
The two exceptions are the Moscow Planning Institute and the Moscow ring Ec
