Deportation/Russian Draft Question

[anne marie devlin]

Something similar happened to a friend of mine.  However, his parents encouraged him to leave the country specifically to avoid the draft, so the situation is somewhat different.  On the other hand he was a legal resident in the host country.  After he returned to Russia, it took the authorities some years to catch up with him by which time he had two children and was exempt.  Has your student actually received his draft letters?  It doesn't seem as if he has evaded military service and it is therefore unlikely that he can be prosecuted for it.  There are many exemptions to military service and maybe the fact that he hasn't lived in Russia for so long and doesn't speak the language well will benefit him.  A prison term doesn't seem likely
