At the thought of the laws that must be observed in the army, inevitably popped up in the head cases of misplaced relations between military personnel (simply “hazing”) and desertion pop up. Moreover, the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is just the tip of the iceberg in a huge array of regulations that should guide the military personnel of the Russian army in everyday life.
Instruction manual
1
Start by examining Section VI of the Federal Law of March 28, 1998 No. 53-FZ "On Military Duty and Military Service". It provides detailed information on the service life of military personnel, on the procedure for taking the oath of military service, and, most importantly, on military ranks, which I highly recommend learning in advance so as not to be known in the army as a “brake” that cannot quickly master elementary things.

Read Federal Law of May 27, 1998 No. 76-FZ "On the Status of Military Personnel". It explains your rights and obligations during military service, as well as your responsibility in violation of these duties.

The process of military service is regulated by 3 Charters (the Navy also has a Charter for military service on ships of the Navy).
1. The charter of the internal service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is the basic legal act regulating the daily life and activities of military personnel in a military unit in order to maintain internal order and military discipline;
2. The disciplinary charter of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation defines the concept of "military discipline", regulates the duties of servicemen to comply with it, the types of rewards and punishments, and also prescribes the procedure for submitting applications, complaints and suggestions. In particular, after reading this charter, you will find out for what military misconduct you can be sent to a guardhouse;
3. The charter of the garrison, commandant and guard services of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation determines the purpose, procedure for organizing and carrying out guard, commandant and garrison services, the rights and obligations of military personnel carrying these services.

Do not forget to read Chapter 33 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, especially with Art. 335 "Violation of the statutory rules of relations between military personnel in the absence of relations of subordination between them", Article 337 "Unauthorized abandonment of a part or place of service", as well as Article 338 "Desertion". According to statistics, these are the most common offenses committed by military personnel. Therefore, the realization of what, in your opinion, an innocent prank like self-willed might threaten you, can save you, for example, from punishment in the form of detention in a disciplinary military unit.

Be sure to read about the current informal army rules. Find friends who have served in the army and ask them to tell how everything is really arranged there. Look for forums in the army and ask them questions. Remember that living experience will not be replaced by hundreds of circulars and prescriptions, and as practice shows, real life often does not comply with the provisions of regulatory legal acts.
