TAXES AND MILITARY SERVICE.
Publication: Monitor Volume: 2 Issue: 113
Russian president Boris Yeltsin yesterday issued a decree granting military draft deferments to up to 1000 young Russian men per year who have acquired an advanced specialty in finances and who go directly from school into full-time work for the Russian tax service. The decree also limits the number of military officers who can be assigned to duty in the tax service. (Interfax, June 13)
