Contract workers from Dagestan are suing for payments for injuries in Ukraine

On January 13, the Makhachkala Garrison Court released information about the completion of the trial in the case of contract soldier from Dagestan Pirbudag Alikhanov. A serviceman from a military unit stationed in Buinaksk received a concussion and frostbite on his legs during a military operation in Ukraine, but was unable to receive payments because his commander did not fill out the documents properly. He filed an administrative claim against the commander, after which the command conducted an investigation, recognized Alikhanov as a combat veteran and sent documents to the leadership of the Southern Military District to formalize this status.
After consulting with his lawyer, Alikhanov withdrew the claim, and proceedings in his case were discontinued.
Military personnel returning from Ukraine are often faced with the fact that the compensation they were promised in the amount of 3 million rubles for wounds and injuries received at the front is not paid. Judicial practice on such disputes already includes at least dozens of cases.
Thus, a serviceman from Dagestan, Abubakar Magomedov, filed a claim with the Makhachkala Garrison Court against the branch of military hospital No. 2 412, which did not issue him a certificate of injury. The claim was denied.
Another serviceman, Islam Abusalamov, was taken to the hospital from the front with “suprasegmental autonomic dysfunction.” The doctors considered that the exacerbation of the nervous disease was not related to participation in hostilities, and they did not issue a certificate. The court sided with the doctors.
Contractor from Dagestan Magomed Omarov came under fire in September 2022, was wounded and taken to a special-purpose medical detachment of the Southern Military District. There he was given a Form 100 certificate certifying the fact of a combat wound. However, Omarov applied to the military hospital for medical help and was denied further paperwork. The court dismissed the claim.
As reported by the publication "Kavkaz.Realii" with reference to the head of the human rights organization "Conscript School" Alexei Tabalov, the cause of the problem is overcrowded hospitals and the failure of military medical commissions to carry out proper examinations.
