Deportation/Russian Draft Question

[Anderson, Helen]

All the same, there seems to be a push on to strengthen the draft and
talk of a new law: http://www.rg.ru/2010/05/04/prizyv.html

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
