The regime needs servicemen, and no one is going to let them go or discharge them. This is yet another of many documented cases in which an already processed discharge is annulled, and every stage of so-called legal regulation simply does not work—namely, neither the court, nor the appeal process, nor petitions to the Ministry of Defense, nor even appeals to the president. The regime needs “war dogs,” and people who, by some chance, managed to obtain discharge papers will be dragged back into bondage and sent to war—something an anonymous Ministry of Defense employee also confirmed. Any appeals to the legal system are useless. So where is the way out? There is only one: to study in advance the reality of the existing regime in the Russian Federation and under no circumstances believe the promises and statements it makes—whether about the reasons for the war or the conditions of participation in this blood-soaked and pointless war:
“An official said: well, what can we do? We’ll send your request to the Ministry of Defense. <…> Even though the Ministry of Defense replied to me literally in January: your discharge order has been canceled. And that’s it! Absolutely nothing moves, nothing happens. Everyone just kicks paperwork around.”
On January 13, 2026, in Ivanovo, they buried serviceman Denis Kan, who served in the 1st Motor Rifle Regiment (military unit 31135). Since November 12, 2025, he had been listed as missing in action, and on December 26, 2025, his wife Maria reported that Denis had been declared dead.
Earlier, the serviceman repeatedly recorded video appeals in which he complained about the unlawful extension of his contract due to the partial mobilization decree. He tried to terminate the contract he had signed at the start of the “special military operation” for a three-month term, appealed to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, and filed requests with the Ministry of Defense asking them to look into the situation. His appeals were forwarded from one authority to another without results.
“I left the Ministry of Defense reception office, submitted a statement, an appeal—everything as before. But insider information from the employee who accepts these appeals is that there will be no discharge, regardless of the grounds. If you have the arguments you’re presenting, go to court. So I already went to court. And the court is also, damn it, a closed loop. No one decides anything, no one wants to decide anything.”
In addition, Denis filed a lawsuit in a military court demanding discharge, but the claim was rejected, and the appellate complaints were left unchanged. The serviceman described it as a vicious circle in which no one resolves anything and no one wants to take responsibility, even when there are clear facts of legal violations.
“My appeals were not satisfied. The system—what can you say? <…> It won’t go against itself, even if there are hard facts, a direct violation of the law—no one is going to change anything.”
