St. Petersburg "Yabloko" struggles for contract army
On first day of autumn draft the activists of St. Petersburg "Yabloko" hold a meeting for contract army creation in Russia.
10 people participated in a theatre action on Saturday. Activists of youth union "Yabloko" gave flyers to passerbys and suggested to answer the question: which method of Russian army formation - professional army or draft army - is closer to Russian people?
"The goal of this action is to attract attention of citizens to the possibility of contract army in Russia. We try to prove that this army is more effective and profitable for government. And though many politicians think that creation of such army is impossible in modern society our estimates proves the opposite", - on of the action participants stated.
