According to the interpretation of the current law adopted by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, military personnel recognized as foreign agents can be dismissed from military service early if access to state secrets is terminated. At the meeting chaired by Supreme Court Chief Justice Igor Krasnov, changes were adopted in plenary resolution dated May 29, 2014 No. 8 “On the practice of courts in applying the law on conscription, military service and the status of military personnel.”
In it, the plenary session recalled that, according to the law “On military service and military service”, a military person can be dismissed from military service early due to denial of access to state secrets or termination of such access. In this case, the grounds for denying access to state secrets may include the inclusion of a military person in the register of foreign agents.
In addition, such grounds, according to current legislation, may be the determination during verification of the actions of military personnel that pose a threat to the security of the Russian Federation, the drawing of a conclusion by the Federal Security Service about the inappropriateness of military personnel's access to state secrets, the presence of military personnel as defendants or defendants in a criminal case for a crime committed by negligence against state power or for a negligent offense against power home water. intentional criminals, whose criminal records have not been expunged or have not been expunged for such crimes, and in certain other cases, including military personnel evading verification operations or intentionally providing false personal data, military personnel violate the requirements of the law on state secrets.
At the same time, the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation noted, in the event that a military man is dismissed from military service due to termination of access to state secrets, he “does not have the right to choose another basis for dismissal from military service,” provided that the denial of access is related to these cases.
The current law on foreign representatives provides that the inclusion of an official or citizen in the register of persons with the status of foreign representatives can be grounds for denying access to state secrets.
