Martial law in Russia: possible reasons for introduction

The last years will be remembered for a long time by an unprecedented information war against Russia. What kind of publications for this time was not! "Civilized world" is dissatisfied with the behavior of the Russian Federation. Sometimes there are very strange messages. They say that the martial law in Russia has already been introduced or is about to happen. Should I trust such obviously propaganda articles? Surely the reader understands that it is necessary to understand the law in order not to react to the outbursts, as they say today. Let's see what a martial law in Russia is.

We study the legislation

No discrepancies or conjectures on such an important issue as the introduction of martial law in Russia, simply can not. The state functions on the basis of the Constitution and other legislative acts. They fully describe how to deal with critical situations. And the fact that the martial law in Russia refers precisely to those, for sure, no one doubts. The conditions for the introduction of such is written in Article 87 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The basic law speaks about who has the right and under what circumstances.

The fact is that martial law is a special regime in which it becomes impossible to fulfill a number of state obligations to citizens. The order of their interaction almost completely changes. The main task is to solve all the available resources. Such under normal conditions is not practiced in any democratic country. After all, if a martial law has been declared in Russia, then its citizens, as well as organizations and enterprises, are automatically deprived of certain freedoms. Let's take a closer look.

What is the military situation in Russia?

When a country is subjected to aggression or threatens it, a "special legal regime" is introduced on its territory. It is he who is a martial law. This can cover both the whole territory and its part. It depends on the level and magnitude of the potential or real threat. This regime is declared a special document - a presidential decree. Other information, not confirmed by official paper, as you know, is unreliable. This should be remembered by the screamers, who regularly asserted that they had introduced martial law in Russia. 2014 demonstrated to the whole world that such "informers" are enough among journalists and bloggers. With the onset of the Ukrainian crisis, only the lazy did not talk about a special regime, which is now often announced for Russians. However, no one reported that they need to wait for the official document. And naive people often perceived their publications at face value. Let's understand further.

Declaration of martial law

It is necessary to know that the rules for the introduction of a special regime are registered to the accuracy of the smallest nuances. We already said about the presidential decree. It reflects the following data. First, the boundaries of the territory on which this provision is introduced are clearly communicated. Secondly, the date from which it begins to operate is indicated. And most importantly, the reasons for the adoption of the document are indicated. That is, the circumstances that caused the signing of the decree by the President of the Russian Federation should be reflected. They are also not taken from the ceiling, but about this further. The decree follows, according to the legislation, there and then to transfer to the Council of Federation and the State Duma which are obliged to consider it within forty eight hours. In addition, this document is urgently to be promulgated, namely, to be announced through printed and oral media.

It is clear that under such conditions, fixed in the Constitution, it is imperceptible for society to introduce martial law in Russia. The year 2015 showed that some "conscientious" journalists think that knowledge of laws for informing the public does not need. Therefore, do not just believe those who cook another duck. If the special regime is announced, they will be told about this on all TV and radio channels, the report will be published in the newspapers.

The conditions for martial law

The special regime is declared, as already said, under the threat of aggression. Only officials have no right to interpret it. All has long been negotiated, agreed and fixed by the principles of international law. Aggression recognizes the following circumstances:

• Invasion, annexation or occupation of territory by the military of other countries;
• Bombardment by any type of weapon;
• Blockade of shores or ports of the Russian Federation ;
• Any attack on the Russian armed forces, regardless of where they are located;
• Other actions of states that are of an aggressive nature;
• Sending mercenaries, gangs, terrorist groups.

In principle, if a foreign state (or group) encroaches on the sovereignty, political independence, territorial integrity of Russia, then this is interpreted as an aggressive action and causes a corresponding reaction.

What will happen if a martial law is introduced?

There are documents regulating a special regime. Part of them, of course, is of a secret nature. Others are public. We will build on them. When a martial law is introduced, the life of the population and the work of enterprises undergo changes. Protection is strengthened, on the roads put posts restricting traffic. Objects of culture are preparing for evacuation, in some cases organize the export of civilians.

Vital objects (communications, electricity and water) are transferred to the military regime. Do not notice such changes difficult. In any case, the local population will feel them right away. Movement across the country will be difficult. In addition, the population will be attracted to urgent work. It touches everyone.

From the history

Those who believe stories about the introduction of martial law in Russia (2015), we should recall the events of the last century. Namely - the period of the Great Patriotic War. Even then, martial law was not imposed on the entire territory of the USSR. They covered only those regions and republics where fighting was going on.

What should citizens do?

The regulation on the introduction of a special regime clearly regulates the activities of absolutely all subjects of state relations. People should obey the rules that will be explained to them. Some will be attracted to work. For this, people should be summoned to the authority and given them instructions. Its failure is equated with crime. In addition, citizens are prohibited from violating the restrictions regimes, including preventing any form of government work.

Businesses

A few words about the work of organizations and institutions. She is also undergoing serious changes. Private enterprises can be nationalized for a while to use to repel aggression. The so-called mobilization regime is established in the economy. It is not worth remembering about the freedom of entrepreneurship for this period. All obey orders, pursuing one goal, to defeat the aggressor. Therefore, if you hear that martial law has been introduced in Russia, turn on the TV. If it turns out to be true, it will be broadcast on all channels not as a message, but as a list of instructions for strict execution. A special regime is a very serious situation, which concerns every person living in the given territory, without exception.
