The authorities urge us to save money. But we, rightly considering that our paths-the roads with those in power-have long parted (not by our will), almost always remain indifferent to such calls. But sometimes an audit of even the small amount that is released by the state in terms of the military department allows you to open certain reserves.

I offer you my little research on the financial support of cadets of military schools. Studying the situation allows me to make certain practical suggestions on the problem under consideration. According to my calculations, they will save significant funds spent on military education.

Before sending the material to the editorial office, I submitted it for discussion to my colleagues in the Department of daily activities and methods of combat training. The article received unanimous approval and positive reviews.

I hope that the suggestions made with your help will be heard and will not be ignored.

I would like to note that Orientir has its own position on many issues and is very popular among cadets and officers of our school. This was the reason to contact such a respected publication.

So, it is known that a cadet of a military university is on state support. He is dressed, shod, and provided with the necessary utilities. The future military specialist is provided with free meals in the canteen or he is paid monetary compensation in return for a food ration. To this it should be added that a cadet who has signed a contract also receives a fairly decent monetary allowance, which amounts to 322 rubles for a mediocre student (216 rubles for an official salary and 106 rubles for a military rank salary) and 703 rubles for an excellent student. (The figures are given as of the second half of 1998, although I don't think they will change by the time they are published.)

But this amount is commensurate with the size of the subsistence level "in civilian life" (760-780 rubles), which, alas, is unattainable for many there. By the way, a civilian teacher of a military school has an official salary of 324 rubles.

Another comparison. A student of a pedagogical university receives 154 rubles a month if he studies perfectly, and 22 rubles if he succeeds satisfactorily.

A university student should also receive "feed" -22 rubles per month. But, for example, at Ryazan State University, he does not see them for 2 years. In general, almost all expenses are paid at the expense of parents. Or in any other case, the student is looking for additional sources of income.

One could only be happy for our state, which is looking for an opportunity to support future officers, and for the cadets themselves to be calm... According to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation I. Sergeev, only a third of those who entered the 1st year were in the ranks of graduates of schools in 1997. The situation hardly improved in 1998. After graduating from military schools, 10-20% of newly minted lieutenants do not arrive at their duty stations. And this is despite the fact that the higher education of a trained military specialist, according to the most conservative estimates, cost the state about 50,000 rubles.

We count further. During the course of training at vvuz, a cadet receives from 15 to 30 thousand rubles in the form of a monetary allowance. Accordingly, the total costs range from 65 to 80 thousand rubles. These public expenditures are equally distributed to those who have really decided to devote their lives to military service. And for those who just decided to get a good free (or rather, with good financial support) education. Yes, and even from the urgent service to dodge.

Government spending on the education of" transit workers", from which the army benefits" zero", seems generally irrational against the background of a beggarly misery, which the same state" satisfies " the lieutenant who stood up for his lifelong protection. The basic salary of a novice officer does not exceed 500 rubles (292 rubles for a position, 192 rubles for a rank). Rent a one-room apartment in the city will cost 300-400 rubles. God only knows how the lieutenant survives with the remaining pennies. After all, ration money is paid with a delay of 3 to 6 months. Child benefits have been frozen altogether for the last two years.

In turn, the proposed mechanism for reallocating funds can help both the Government and the military.

We accept the available initial data, i.e. the cadet's salary is calculated in the current amount. But only 20-25% of the specified amount (60-80 rubles) is paid monthly to the hands of a successful student. The remaining 75-80% (250-280 rubles) is credited to their personal account (3 000 - 3 400 rubles per year or 9-10 thousand rubles for 3 years of study) before graduation from the school. This amount should be recorded in the officer's paybook as a state debt to the lieutenant and paid on hand after arrival for further service in a military unit within a month after the conclusion of the contract. At the same time, the contract stipulates that in case of its termination due to the fault of the officer, this amount must be returned.

Naturally, when a cadet is expelled from school for any reason other than for health reasons, the accrued amount is not paid to him, but turns into income to the state in the form of compensation for expenses incurred during the training period. In our opinion, such a system of payment of monetary allowances to cadets will help solve a number of problems.

First, this is a clear saving of money-more than 90% of cadets expelled from the school (3 - 596 are deducted for health reasons) will not actually receive money.

Given that the main responsibility of cadets is to study, those who do well will still receive 150 - 200 rubles on their hands, while an excellent student will receive more than 300 rubles. Such a payment system will be a good incentive for the troika - "who works, that is".

Most importantly, free education, in other words, a "feeder" for cadets who voluntarily left the school, will be completely stopped. "Disappointed" in military service, or more correctly "mowed down" from the army - and they accounted for up to 70% of those recruited for the 1st year until very recently-will be much less.

Due to such savings, it is possible that funds will appear to increase the salary of regular military personnel. Or at least stop the rumors that it is planned to streamline individual payments of cash allowances, " which means the abolition of pension allowances and other compensations and, accordingly, a decrease in the standard of living of officers by 25-35%.

At the same time, a one-time payment of these savings will allow the lieutenant to solve a number of financial problems: wedding, vacation, rental of housing, purchase of furniture, etc.

Those who really want to be a defender of the Motherland, I think, will not be deterred by such a prospect, rather-on the contrary. But this is provided that all issues are resolved legally correctly (indexation, interest on deposits, payment terms). I am sure that this decision will have many supporters.

Another thing is that many people have lost their trust, and especially in the state. It deceives employees regularly, and for any reason - whether it's housing, indexation of monetary allowances, payment terms, uniforms, food rations, and more.

However, from the point of view of state interests in the training of officers and a more rational use of funds, which are already extremely limited, the proposed approach should justify itself.
