[[Conscription in Russia|Conscription]] is used in Russia; the term of service is 12 months; and the eligible age is between 18 and 27 years old.<ref name="Law53-FZ" /> Deferments are provided to undergraduate and graduate students, men supporting disabled relatives, parents of at least two children and—upon Presidential proclamation—to some employees of military-oriented enterprises. Men holding a Ph.D., as well as sons and brothers of servicemen killed or disabled during their military service, are released from conscription.

There were widespread problems with [[hazing]] in the Army, known as ''[[dedovshchina]]'', where first-year draftees are abused by second-year draftees, a practice that appeared in its current form after the change to a two-year service term in 1967.{{sfn|Odom|1998}} According to [[Anna Politkovskaya]], in 2002, "a complete battalion, more than five hundred men, had been killed not by enemy fire but by beatings".<ref name="Politkovskaya2007">{{cite book|last=Politkovskaya|first=Anna|author-link=Anna Politkovskaya|title=Putin's Russia: Life in a Failing Democracy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oju7iVVo-QMC&pg=PA2|year=2007|publisher=Henry Holt and Company|isbn=978-1-4299-3915-7|page=2|access-date=12 October 2015|archive-date=28 October 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231028174415/https://books.google.com/books?id=oju7iVVo-QMC&pg=PA2#v=onepage&q&f=false|url-status=live}}</ref> Over a period of 9 months in 2003, 2,500 personnel were accused of dedovshchina, of which half were sentenced.<ref>Jane's Defence Weekly, 17 December 2003, p.25.</ref> To combat this problem, a new decree was signed in March 2007, which cut the conscription service term from 24 to 18 months.

On 17 November 2011, General [[Nikolay Yegorovich Makarov|Nikolai Makarov]] said that Russia had reached a crisis in the conscript service where there simply were not sufficient able-bodied men to draft and was forced to halve its conscription.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}

In March 2013, Defence Minister [[Sergey Shoygu]] promised that all army quarters would have showers by the end of the year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.ria.ru/military/20130204/179217279/Russian-Defense-Chief-Promises-Soldiers-Showers-by-Year-End.html|title=Russian Defense Chief Promises Soldiers Showers by Year End|publisher=RIA.ru|date=4 February 2013|access-date=18 May 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161011233746/https://en.ria.ru/military/20130204179217279-Russian-Defense-Chief-Promises-Soldiers-Showers-by-Year-End/|archive-date=11 October 2016}}</ref>

"Compared to 2007, the number of female officers and warrant-officers has dropped by nearly two thirds. There were over 30,000 women serving under a contract [with the armed forces] in 2007, and now there are only slightly more than 11,000 of them, including 4,300 officers of various rank." Lt. Col. Yelena Stepanova, the chief of the social processes monitoring department at the Russian armed forces' sociological research center, said.
This trend [was] "not ..special" but correspond[ed] with the general .. reduction of the Russian armed forces."

On 28 May 2022, on the background of the ongoing [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine|invasion of Ukraine]], [[Vladimir Putin]] signed the law which removed the upper age limit for signing first contract for the performance of [[Military volunteer|voluntary military service]] (earlier this limit was 40 years old).<ref>{{cite act|type=Federal Law|index=147-FZ|date=28 May 2022|legislature=[[State Duma]]|title=О внесении изменения в статью 34 Федерального закона "О воинской обязанности и военной службе"|language=ru|trans-title=On amendments to the article 34 of the Federal Law "About military duty and military service"|url=http://pravo.gov.ru/proxy/ips/?searchres=&bpas=cd00000&a3=102000505&a3type=1&a3value=&a6=&a6type=1&a6value=&a15=&a15type=1&a15value=&a7type=1&a7from=&a7to=&a7date=28.05.2022&a8=147-%D4%C7&a8type=1&a1=&a0=&a16=&a16type=1&a16value=&a17=&a17type=1&a17value=&a4=&a4type=1&a4value=&a23=&a23type=1&a23value=&textpres=&sort=7&x=56&y=5}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Путин подписал закон об отмене возрастного предела для контрактников|language=ru|date=28 May 2022|publisher=[[Interfax]]|url=https://www.interfax.ru/russia/843442|access-date=9 June 2022|archive-date=9 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220609134313/https://www.interfax.ru/russia/843442|url-status=live}}</ref> Most of the contract soldiers fighting in Ukraine come from [[Poverty|poorer]] sections of the Russian population.<ref>{{cite news |title=Russia showers cash on men enlisting in Ukraine war, bringing prosperity to some towns |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/world/russia-showers-cash-on-men-enlisting-in-ukraine-war-bringing-prosperity-to-some-towns-2-3259973 |work=Deccan Herald |publisher=International New York Times |date=2 November 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Russia offers debt relief to recruits for Ukraine war |url=https://www.dw.com/en/russia-offers-debt-relief-to-recruits-for-ukraine-war/a-70868761 |work=Deutsche Welle |date=23 November 2024}}</ref> [[Signing bonus]]es for men who went to fight in Ukraine are more than a full year's salary for many people in Russia.<ref>{{cite news |title=For Some In Russia's Far-Flung Provinces, Ukraine War Is A Ticket To Prosperity |url=https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-war-ukraine-wages-poverty-prosperity/32988390.html |work=RFE/RL’s Tatar-Bashkir Service |date=11 June 2024}}</ref>

The Russian military education system, inherited from the [[Soviet Union]], trains officer-specialists in narrowly-defined military occupational specialties. In this it differs greatly from the [[United States|American]] military education system in which newly qualified second lieutenants receive particular specialties in the framework of their "career branch" only after graduation from a [[United States service academies|military academy]] or the [[Reserve Officers' Training Corps|ROTC]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Golts|first=Alexander|title=Военная реформа и российский милитаризм|language=ru|trans-title=Military reform and Russian militarism|date=2017|location=Uppsala|publisher=Kph Trycksaksbolaget AB|isbn=978-91-554-9936-5|url=http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1138525/FULLTEXT01.pdf|page=143|access-date=9 March 2022|archive-date=15 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220315171313/http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1138525/FULLTEXT01.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> Students of Russian civilian institutions of [[higher education]] wishing to join the [[Reserve Officer Training in Russia|reserve officer training program]] cannot choose a military occupational specialty, because each civilian specialty taught by civilian [[university]] is attached to a particular military occupational specialty taught by the [[Military training centers of civilian universities (Russia)|military training center]] of the same [[university]] by the [[Rector (academia)|rector]]'s order. It also differs from the [[United States|American]] military education system in which students can choose between available types of [[Reserve Officers' Training Corps|ROTC]].

The Russian military education system includes:
* [[Warrant officer schools of the Russian Armed Forces|Warrant officer schools]], which prepare career warrant officers for active duty service.
* [[Military commissioning schools in Russia|Higher military schools]], which prepare career commissioned officers for active duty service as platoon/company commanders and at equivalent positions (tactical level).
* [[Military training centers of civilian universities (Russia)|Military training centers]] within civilian institutions of [[higher education]], which prepare reserve commissioned officers who can serve as platoon/company commanders and at equivalent positions (tactical level).
* [[Military academies in Russia|Military academies]], which improve the military occupational specialty knowledge of commissioned officers to allow them to be appointed to battalion/regiment/brigade commander or equivalent positions (operational-tactical level).
* [[Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia]], which improves skills of officers graduated from military academies to allow them to become highest-ranking military officers (strategic level).
* [[Adjunctura in Russia|Adjunctura]] is a military analogue of civilian [[graduate school]], which allow commissioned officers to get academic degree of [[candidate of sciences]] in military oriented specialties and be appointed to a teaching positions in military academies, military schools, military training centers.
