The most beautiful military girls. Women in the Russian army. The fate of army women is different

There is no military service for girls in the Russian army, however, more than 300 thousand of the fair sex are in military service.

It is impossible to imagine the Russian Army today without the fair sex. They perform military duty in special forces units, in marines, in the motorized rifle and arctic brigades as soldiers, sailors, sergeants, foremen, warrant officers, midshipmen and officers. By law, it is forbidden to involve women in guard, garrison and internal service. The participation of girls on the battlefield or sending them to hot spots is also not allowed. Today, many girls complain about the injustice of laws and the inequality of opportunities for women in the Russian army. They say that girls go to serve in order to prove to themselves that they are no worse than men, but the main thing is that girls are ready to pay their debt to their native country.

Girls in the army can get into the army in two ways. First, by enrolling in military school and received an officer's rank after graduation. Education in military schools for girls is free. Secondly, girls can get into the army under a contract. According to the latest official data in armed forces Russia has 326 thousand women. This figure is made up of civilian personnel and those who wear epaulettes. There are about 45 thousand women soldiers in the army.

According to statistics, today one thousand nine hundred and fifty women serve in officer positions in the armed forces of the Russian Federation. Of these, twelve are in the rank of colonel, two hundred and sixty lieutenant colonels, five hundred majors, five hundred and fifty two captains, six hundred lieutenants, and several senior lieutenants. Data quickly becomes outdated, because there are more and more women in the army.

Every year, the interest in military service among girls is increasing, including the increase in the number of those who serve under the contract. The fair sex attracts in the service above all high level social security: a decent salary, social guarantees, the prospect of obtaining service housing, good medical care.

There are women generals in the Russian army. In 2010, Army General Tatyana Shevtsova was appointed Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation by order of the Commander-in-Chief.


Tatyana Shevtsova is still serving in this position.

Elena Knyazeva - Deputy Head of the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for training and scientific work since September 25, 2012.


Elena Knyazeva is acting head of the Main Directorate for International Military Cooperation of the Russian Ministry of Defense, she is a doctor of philological sciences, professor, major general.

Women today are ready to defend their homeland on an equal footing with men. Defender's Day has also become their holiday, and they receive congratulations along with men. Girls in the service do not receive special indulgences, but the girls themselves admit that they receive unofficial indulgences in the service. And yet, even in the army, girls remain true to themselves, they are beautiful, responsible and faithful to duty. Girls bring in the army, where a purely masculine spirit has always reigned, new relationships. They are changing the face of the Russian Armed Forces in the literal sense of the word. The army becomes beautiful.

You've already seen enough of all sorts of drunken warriors bathing in fountains and not only. Now let's look at what is really mesmerizing.

Ukraine

25% of our military are women, 13% are mobilized, 7% serve in officers. And we also have as many as 12 female generals. Congratulations on their professional holiday. We love, we are proud, and we are grateful. We leaf through.

Sweden

In 1924, the Swedes allowed women to join the army exclusively on a voluntary basis. In 1989, it got to the point that ladies appeared in absolutely every detachment of the Swedish armed forces.

Today their number has decreased: only 5%. Must have - beret, pigtails, and a radiant smile.

Czech

11% of the Czech army are ladies. But most of them are in administrative positions. Although, some Czech women have taken root well in the Air Force units.

American soldiers are dressed up in the same as the men. No women's accessories and berets with smiles. But even this does not frighten the ladies there: in 2012, the US Army consisted of 12% of the fairer sex. This is about 165 thousand enrolled and active + 35 thousand officers.

Romania

In Romania, too, no one cares whether you are a man or a lady. You will dress the same with everyone, live, drink, eat and sleep. And fight. Therefore, these soldiers were in the war in Iraq, and in Afghanistan.

Poland

In Poland, there are about 2.5 thousand military in a skirt. They are eligible to serve in:

• special forces.

Great Britain

Women were allowed to join the British army only in 1990. They are not allowed on the battlefield, they are not accepted into the ranks of the Navy / Air Force / special forces. Maybe they don't give machine guns. And in general, they were probably allowed to walk around the barracks solely in order to please the soldier's eye.

Turkey

Women play an important role in the life of the Turkish army. The world's first female military pilot was in Turkey. Young ladies are even taken to the infantry, and sailors to submarines. Well, they are also very welcome in the officer corps.

Canada

During the First and Second World Wars, Canadian women worked in "support":

• signalmen;
• operators;
• doctors and nurses.

In 1965, the country's government became more accommodating: it allowed 5,000 ladies to join the armed forces. In 1982, the veto finally fell: the weaker sex allowed to serve in unlimited numbers in any military unit.

Norway

The path of women in the Norwegian army is thorny: at first they were “not taken”, then, starting from 1938, they were raked in “buckets”. In 1947, everyone was again sent to civilian life. Later, in 1977 and 1984, they slowly began to recruit again into the ranks of the Nordic warriors. It got to the point that in 1995 an intelligent lady could easily become the commander-in-chief of a submarine.

Today the situation has slowed down, and there are no more young ladies on the submarines. Probably, they outgrew the “water”, and moved into the “red berets”.

Greece

Men are taken into the Greek army at the age of 18 and older. Forced to serve 9 months. Women can also go to the service, but only at their own request.

Young ladies began to seriously try on men's suits. But if the matter were only limited to this ... Not everyone decides to change their wardrobe for camouflage. Although such cases have recently been observed more and more. What attracts the weaker sex in this sometimes overwhelming business? Why do young girls rush, despite the competition, to military schools and sign five-year contracts?

For me, as for the granddaughter, daughter, sister of an officer, all this is more than strange questions. Not because, knowing the answer to them, I do not consider them incomprehensible. Having studied too well the system of this kind of activity, I am amazed at the courage or stupidity of persons who choose such a profession for themselves.

Russia is not part of the countries where military duty is performed not only by men. Probably, it is this fact that, like a magnet, pulls graceful figures into the orderly ranks of the servants of the Motherland. The first option is "I don't know, I want to try." Almost romantic ... The second - more common - the daughters (and sons) of military personnel follow in the footsteps of their fathers, because the path to other paths is closed and military women are obtained. This is a more than frequent occurrence, with more unknown causes to me. This precedent is observed in my family.

The older sister serves

The older sister serves in the ranks of the BB under a contract, although, like me, she knows all the delights of this "work" better than others. The dream of her youth was shoulder straps, when the goal was achieved - satisfaction did not happen. Why was the "experience" of generations not accepted? Yes, we were brought up in the spirit of respect for the form. But we both knew that serving the Fatherland is a heavy duty. It was clear and visible to each of us that “The state is called the Motherland when it sends its citizens to war, and citizens begin to be called “sons.” We also knew how the state pays for courage and loyalty.

So why are the daughters, wives, sisters of the military eager to study the charter, drive a tank, go on "business trips" to combat points? Maybe they are attracted by high earnings, stable living conditions, benefits, social protection? Let's take a closer look at all these criteria.

The salary is calculated depending on the position, rank, length of service, etc. My sister's salary is 700 rubles + "compensation for drinking" 600 rubles = 1300. I agree that in the conditions of a Russian village this is more or less decent. But rations are issued occasionally, accumulating debts for several months, no indexation, compensation, of course, too. "Stable living conditions", i.e. apartments - a very sore issue lately. The army of homeless servicemen is replenished with each new serviceman with his family. "Benefits" are either canceled or restored, in between - hassle, in addition to the daily, generally accepted ones. "Social security" - do not know whether to cry or laugh, looking at this concept.

On the other hand, I understand military women living in garrisons far from industrial cities, they have little choice: either serve, or work on a local dilapidated collective farm, or sit at home. They are the ones I feel sorry for the most. Remote from Moscow, the authorities feel at ease, which means - "I am the boss, and you are not just a fool, but you don’t know who at all." It's even worse when the boss is henpecked by either his wife or his mistress, who literally commands the parade. Here salvation is only in the wisdom of this lady, but this does not happen often. So, if Ninka is wearing a cool suit, but the commander is not the right size, Ninka will receive an excess of night shifts. And if there are children at home and there is no one to sit, even if it is completely removed, a holy place is never empty. But even an empty place is far from holy, therefore Svetka who occupies it will be quieter than water, lower than grass. There is a lady in the circle of my forced acquaintances who, in response to any remark and dissatisfaction, cuts off clearly: "I sleep with the chief of staff, and I also sleep with the battalion commander, if I want to - I will sleep with the division commander - go complain." Such persons behave arrogantly and defiantly, if you have to cross their path - beware. But if only they represented a danger... Women have nowhere to look for protection from male attacks, and even more so from harassment by higher-ranking bosses.

The fate of army women is different:

Someone sleeps with the leadership of their own free will, and some by circumstances. Ensign Oksana Ivanovna has been officially the "beloved woman" of the regiment commander for five years now. She hardly got a job, and she was able to stay in it only under the patronage of the colonel who laid eyes on her. Who will refuse the commander if there are no other ways? Oksanka is a deeply decent person and such a situation depresses her. Once, she tried to commit suicide, but who will need a sick mother and little Seryozhka?

Still in a "privileged" position is my friend Sveta. Her main flaw is weakness and not being able to say "no" (which is what caused her situation). And the most offensive is the attitude of colleagues. If the "patron" is on a responsible mission or on a business trip, his comrades (especially those) eat the poor fellow for any reason. She cannot give them a decent answer (as some do). Have to endure. To climb the career ladder in this primordially masculine profession, you need to endure a lot: sleepless nights, and insults, and insults. "Female individuals in the uniform of colonels, even generals - an extremely rare phenomenon, but it exists. But even high rank won't save you from ridicule. Regarding one major general in a skirt, colleagues joke: "Where does she sew stripes?". But in order to achieve such an attitude, you need to go through a lot and not break. Many women drink too much, some begin to lead a wild life, some become stale, and some go completely crazy, especially after hot spots. By the way, they don’t spare women, they even try to send them to “smell the gunpowder”, they say, they took up the tug ... There are those who go on their own and more than once, mostly for money, of course.

I don't want to be accused of exaggerating. All of the above are cons. Pros: you can retire at 37 ( year goes by for 1.5). The working wardrobe is of the same type, one-color, issued by the state.

Getting an education in military universities, you do not need to pay, there is a good scholarship, the diploma also applies to a "citizen". The contract system implies a 5-year or less contract, which, if desired, can be terminated.

Maybe this justifies the competition in military schools for 30 people? And I generally keep quiet about police schools. But military personnel still treat guys with more confidence than "female individuals" (by the way, the accepted expression), therefore, it is several times harder to prove that you want and can do it for a young lady. When it was my turn to choose a profession for myself, I cut off only one phrase to my parents: "Anything, but not the army." Of course, they twisted their fingers at their temples, throwing a couple of dozen tantrums, in their concern for the future of their child, but they still could not convince them. I am happy that I myself solved the problem of this difficult choice, that I myself entered the university I wanted to, the faculty I liked. I know that I was not mistaken in rejecting the family tradition, and I will never regret it.

Women in the army. Statistics:

In the Armed Forces (AF), more than 2,400 women wear officer shoulder boards.
Among them: one major general, four colonels and over 300 senior officers.
The average age of women is from 26 to 35 years.
Every sixth warrant officer is a woman, and among the military personnel serving under the contract in the positions of private and sergeant, the female gender is almost half. 25.2% of women serve in military farms; 19% - in headquarters; 17.5% - at communication centers.
There are 650 women officers in the Internal Troops (VV).
Average age - 36 years.
The main places of service are medical units, communications services, there are a small number of teachers in the military institutes of the explosives.

These are the military women of Russia!

Evgenia Suvorova

March 8 is a reason to put aside disputes about military conflicts and terrorism, about new weapons and other hot topics. It is more logical on this day to talk about the beautiful half of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Modern Russian army has about 45,000 contract women who, along with the stronger sex, perform their military duty. The total number of girls, one way or another related to the Russian army, has exceeded 326 thousand. It is significant that this figure is only increasing every year: military service becomes more and more attractive to our girls.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation provide ladies with over 150 different specialties. It must be understood that the army is not only trenches, dirt, and. Most of the girls are registered in communications units, specialized educational institutions, medical personnel, food and clothing services. It is difficult to overestimate their merits, a recent example is the provision of medical assistance to the civilian population of Syria. Fearless women are ready to go to hot spots and perform the most difficult tasks on an equal basis with men.

It is worth noting a serious increase in the number of applicants to enter educational establishments Ministry of Defense. The "Naval Academies" in St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad, VVDKU in Ryazan, VA VKO in Tver, the capital's Military University and many other departments are popular. A graduate of one of these institutions receives a diploma and military rank, which opens the way for her into military structures.

If a girl is really eager to join the ranks of the defenders of the Motherland, there is always the opportunity to go to serve under a contract. Here, of course, you need to take into account some requirements: age from 18 to 40 years old, no health problems, good physical training. And a specialty that is in demand in the Armed Forces, of course, will be an undoubted plus.

Each candidate must come to the selection point, have a conversation with a special inspector and pass sports standards for three points: strength, speed and endurance. Nothing unusual - exercises for the press, shuttle running and kilometer cross. The rules vary by age. Failed one of the three tests? It doesn't matter, in a month the girl will have the opportunity to take the exam again. If successful, she comes with everyone necessary documents and certificates to the military registration and enlistment office, where the question of the candidate's suitability for contract service is decided by voting.

A wish true patriots serving for the good of the Motherland does not go unnoticed by the state, which takes great care of the representatives of the RF Armed Forces. Service in the army is guaranteed stability. There can be no problems with the payment of salaries, the conditions are fully met Labor Code there are good career opportunities. Agree, it is far from always easy to find a job with such fundamental conditions in a "citizen".

Another important point is social security. Absolutely all servicemen of the Russian army are provided with a full social package: treatment at the expense of the state (military medicine is a very high level), serious benefits for travel, housing. There are 12 other attractive points, but these three stand out.

There are a lot of advantages: a hassle-free decree (work will definitely not run away from you), a decent pension, and for some it is an opportunity to be close to a military husband. AT last years work in the Armed Forces has become extremely prestigious. And patriotic sentiments in the country woke up great, and the Russian army itself was brought to full order.

Getting into the army is not so difficult, but every woman should understand what difficulties she may face in a new job. Constant moving, business trips, shifts ... An attractive career, but did anyone say that it would be easy in this area? The security of the state is at stake. People come here not for the sake of earning money and not for those for whom patriotism is something alien. There is no place for such people in the army, here the priority idea should remain the protection of the interests of their country. If the candidate takes into account such nuances, there will be no problems in the future.

On International Women's Day, I would like to congratulate all the fair sex and thank the military girls for trying not to be inferior to men in this field. Russian women every year make an increasingly significant contribution to the security of our Motherland. And the stereotype “the army is not a woman's business” has already been completely destroyed.
