Our goal is to help and ensure a decent standard of living for those who defended our Motherland from the Nazi invaders, worked in the rear and was devoted to their work and to the Fatherland - veterans of the Great Patriotic War and Labor.
Our organization has been operating for over 30 years. It was formed back in Soviet times, during the years of "perestroika" on December 17, 1986 at the constituent conference of war and labor veterans. Then the regional branches of the organization were created - regional, provincial and republican Councils of veterans. The first chairman of the All-Union Council of Veterans was 72-year-old Kirill Mazurov, a former member of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee.
On the eve of the collapse of the USSR on November 27, 1991, the organization adopted a new name - "The All-Russian Public Organization of Veterans (Pensioners) of the War, Labor, Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies", which is currently in force. The organization has regional branches in all regions of the Russian Federation. Almost all regional branches of the organization have their own local branches (in districts and cities) and primary branches in microdistricts of cities, villages and towns.
We are currently the largest public organization to help veterans in Russia. The declared number of registered members of the organization for 2017 is 28 million people. Our organization has 85 regional offices, 2687 district, 72,460 primary veteran organizations in the community, 45 - at enterprises and institutions, 60 - at higher education institutions. In the Branches section you can see a detailed list of key representative offices.
War veterans are a very interesting and unusual generation that passed with honor along the front fire roads of the Great Patriotic War, endured all life's trials and ended the war with Victory in Berlin.
Veterans are the main witnesses and participants in the history of the Soviet state and modern Russia. Their childhood passed during the collectivization of the country, youth in the years of the first five-year plans, as a young they participated in the combat operations of the Red Army in the prewar years. They defended their homeland in a fierce war with the Nazis and liberated the occupied cities and villages of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova and the Baltic republics with battles. It was the Soviet soldiers who brought liberation to the peoples of Europe from fascism!
In the peaceful post-war years, war veterans raised the ruined national economy, built giants, led factories and collective farms, taught schools and institutes of future cosmonauts, raised Heroes of Socialist Labor and famous production leaders.
And now the time has come when we must help them, surround them with care and provide a decent old age. After all, even at present, their living conditions are quite difficult, so they really need our support.
As part of our work, we solve the following problems:
- protection of civil, socio-economic, labor and personal rights of veterans;
- improvement of financial situation, medical and domestic services for veterans;
- legal assistance to veterans and members of their families;
- targeted assistance to veterans in difficult situations;
- development of a volunteer movement throughout the country;
- patriotic education of youth;
- military historical work.
What tasks do we solve?
Protection of civil, socio-economic, labor and personal rights of veterans.
Unfortunately, even now, the system of socio-economic support for war and labor veterans has a number of significant drawbacks. There are regular delays in the payment of pensions, benefits, deficits of benefits and quotas for medical care. We try to understand every emerging issue, we try to ensure timely payments and compliance with the full amount of benefits and to simplify as much as possible all the procedures associated with this.
Improving the financial situation, medical and domestic services for veterans.
Today, more than 40% of war and labor veterans need material support to receive timely and high-quality medical care, to carry out repairs in apartments and houses, to buy medicines, clothes, food and household goods. More than 10% need home care, and more than 20% need to be placed in special social institutions (nursing homes and boarding schools). With the collected money, we provide individual targeted support to veterans (for example, the purchase of wheelchairs and medicines, apartment renovation, the organization of work of social assistance services at home and much, much more).
Legal assistance to veterans and their families.
Our life is quite unpredictable and sometimes raises before us questions in which the support of a competent lawyer is necessary. Qualified legal support is currently very expensive. We accept applications from veterans and try to provide legal assistance in arising difficult everyday situations.
Development of volunteer movement throughout the country.
One of the most powerful levers to help veterans and the elderly are volunteers. The development of the volunteer movement is one of the most important tasks of our organization. We are currently collaborating with the Victory Volunteers volunteer organization, organizing assistance projects and taking various measures to popularize the volunteer movement.
In order to make fuller use of the work experience and spiritual potential of older generations in solving the tasks facing the Armed Forces, in the interests of social protection of veterans, representatives of the military command bodies, heads of leading veteran associations of military branches, main and central departments of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation decided to create All-Russian Public Organization of Veterans of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The first meeting of the organizing committee of the new veteran organization was held on July 18, 2008.

Report of the Council of the All-Russian Public Organization of Veterans of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for the period from November 17, 2012 to November 10, 2016
Show text
Dear delegates and honored guests!
We bring to your attention the Report of the Council of the All-Russian Public Organization of Veterans of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for the past four-year period of work.
The organization’s activities took place against the backdrop of a difficult international situation and difficult conditions for the development of our state, because everything negative that is happening today in the world and the country affects the economy, social sphere and, accordingly, the lives of veterans.
Veterans note that all these challenges, both external and internal, are opposed by the firm position of the leadership of the state and its President, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces - Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
They are enthusiastic about all the measures of the Ministry of Defense, personally the Minister of Defense, Hero of the Russian Federation, Army General Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu to reform the Armed Forces and increase their authority in society.
Particular emotional enthusiasm and deepest respect aroused among the veterans the clear actions of the Russian troops to destroy the terrorists in Syria.
In this regard, I would like to note that veterans of the Armed Forces have provided and will render all possible assistance in improving the moral and psychological state of our soldiers in Syria. They send memoirs, gifts, commemorative badges to the “hot spot”, inspire them locally to the selfless fulfillment of military duty.
For example, Admiral Igor Nikolayevich Khmelnov, Chairman of the Coordinating Council of Navy Veterans, twice visited the ships of the naval group in Syria.
The wise word of veterans during the reporting period was always significant in carrying out military reform and organizing the educational process.
Veterans of the Armed Forces took an active part:
In strategic and other exercises,
In taking state exams in military schools,
In international army games and military-technical forums,
In filling events with the patriotic nature of the Park of Culture and Leisure of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation "Patriot",
In the international competitions "Warrior of the Commonwealth",
Other various informational and patriotic actions carried out by the Ministry of Defense.
Of particular note is the contribution of veterans of the Sevastopol Regional Branch, headed by Vice Admiral Alexander Ivanovich Frolov, in the return of Crimea to Russia. It was their weighty veteran word, a personal patriotic example that helped to avoid various provocations and vain bloodshed.
Significant steps in the reporting period were made in the work of veterans in military professional orientation and in preparing young people for service in the Armed Forces. For these purposes, in particular,
Agreement with the Central Council of DOSAAF,
A joint meeting of two Councils on improving further mutual cooperation was held,
A joint decree was signed on securing veteran organizations for DOSAAF training centers.
The All-Russian Veteran Organization and DOSAAF of Russia jointly acted as founders of the association of military-patriotic clubs and the All-Russian military-patriotic movement "UNARMIA".
Veterans of the Armed Forces are actively mobilizing young people to participate in the All-Russian physical culture movement “Ready for work and defense!”, Helping to build up the educational and material base of training centers.
They also provide all possible assistance to secondary schools:
In conducting classes on the basics of life safety,
In shooting from small arms,
In driving technology,
In the conduct of military sports games and field training.
So, the Volgograd regional branch, the head Andrei Gennadievich Babkin, took an active part in 2016 in holding the final of the All-Russian military-sports game “Victory” in the city of Volzhsky, Volgograd Region.
Work is underway to form, under veteran organizations, youth public associations specialized in each type and type of army: clubs for young sailors, pilots, astronauts, etc.
For example, the Russian Union of Reserve Officers, headed by Council member Larkov Alexander Filippovich, held a conference in February 2016 on the Patriotism of Reserve Officers for Young Muscovites, with the participation of cadet students in Moscow and veterans of the Armed Forces.
All this allows you to grow a worthy change for the current defenders of the homeland. Every year, an appeal to the Armed Forces is taking place in an increasingly organized manner, and competition in military schools is increasing.
Veterans are actively involved in the awareness-raising campaign "Military service under the contract - your choice!".
A special direction in the work of the Council was the mentoring of veterans over young officers and contract soldiers. This issue was discussed in March 2016 at a meeting of the Council. A methodology for organizing mentoring was developed and sent to organizations.
Many veteran organizations establish prizes and pennants to reward the best officers who have achieved high results in combat training.
Thus, the Mars - Mercury International Organization of Former Military Personnel established a medal named after twice Hero of the Soviet Union of the famous pilot Boris Safonov, 5 prizes and cash bonuses for civilian personnel.
I would especially like to note the role of veterans of higher military educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense, Suvorov Military Schools and Cadet Corps. From the first days of their studies, they really are mentors of the future young shift of the officer corps of the Armed Forces.
The contribution of veterans to the strengthening of military discipline in the army in the navy is also noticeable. They take an active part in the days of taking the oath, thematic matinees and evenings, meetings of the personnel, in the months of the struggle against hazing, drug addiction.

In the reporting period, the work on perpetuating the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland was improved.

As a result of the search, the remains of more than 50 Soviet soldiers who died in battles with the Nazis were found and reburied with honors.

Over the past two years, veterans of the Moscow Region have completely restored, put in order in the Chkalovsky aviation garrison 48 graves of famous aviators, including 7 Heroes of the Soviet Union.

In cooperation with the Nabat regional military-patriotic center, the remains of 6 Soviet soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War were reburied, the awards were handed over to the relatives of the victims.
Thus, the work of veteran organizations in providing feasible social assistance has been and will continue to be the focus of attention of the Council and all structural units of our All-Russian organization
Dear delegates!
The Council of the organization paid particular attention to the information support of its activities and the work of regional offices.
To this end, the Council, together with the Main Directorate for Work with Personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, organizes regular trips to military units, military educational institutions, schools for holding unified days of information, participation in military-patriotic events related to public holidays and memorable dates of the military history of Russia .
In information work, the Council actively uses the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which has its own section “VETERANS”, which publishes news materials, photo and video reports, and other important information for veterans. Similar sites operate in many regional branches of our Organization.
Since 2014, the Council has been publishing the quarterly newspaper Veteran of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Already published 9 issues of the newspaper. You have 3 numbers in handouts. The electronic version of the newspaper is posted on the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The representative office of our organization in the Republic of Latvia publishes the journal “Military Pensioner Bulletin”.
Sovet pays a lot of attention to publishing. By decision of the Minister of Defense, with the active participation of the Organization’s Council, the largest information project was implemented - the publication of the atlas-reference “Brief History of the Russian Army” in the amount of 10 thousand copies.
During the reporting period, a lot of memoirs and popular literature were published. The works and surnames of the most active authors can be seen on the screen.

The international activities of the organization.
Over four years, the delegation of the All-Russian Public Organization of Veterans of the Armed Forces visited 8 countries:
Federal Republic of Germany,
France
Slovenia
Belarus
And Azerbaijan.
I would especially like to note the good work of the representative office of our organization in the Republic of Latvia, the head is retired Colonel Vladimir Sergeyevich Norvind, covering more than three and a half thousand veterans of the Armed Forces and six thousand widows of military personnel.
Members of the organization’s Council twice visited the representative office in the reporting period in connection with the 20th anniversary of the founding of the society of military pensioners in Latvia, as well as in connection with the celebration of the 71st anniversary of the Great Victory over fascism.
Dear delegates!
During the reporting period, the efforts of councils and committees improved intraorganizational work, the style of work of organizations.
This was facilitated by the publication on October 4, 2014 of Order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation No. 719 "On measures to further improve the work with veteran organizations of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation." With the release of this order, the formation of the structure of officials for work with veterans in the Ministry of Defense was completed.
It can be seen on the screen.
Over 4 years, 13 meetings of the Council were held. All of them were carried out, as a rule, as field trips, on the basis of the types and arms of service
In the reporting period, the Council worked:
In all types and branches of the armed forces, military districts,
In 16 regional organizations,
Organized and conducted 8 cluster workshops.
To help the leaders of veteran organizations, a member of the Council, Major General Valentin Prokopyevich Ososkov, prepared and issued a methodological manual on the organization of veteran work. This manual is located in the conference delegates folder.
The representation of our organization in various government bodies and in all-Russian public associations has increased.
The Chairman of the Council was composed of:
Central Headquarters of the All-Russian "Popular Front",
Public Council under the Ministry of Defense,
Joint Board of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and Belarus,
The First Deputy Chairman of the Council, Lieutenant General Viktor Nikolayevich Buslovsky, became a member of the General Staff of the Unarme movement.
Many regional branches also strive to take their authoritative place in the general system of government.
So, in the Samara regional branch 11 members of the branch were elected to the legislative assemblies of municipalities, and 144 representatives of the branch are actively working in the regional and municipal executive authorities.
The elapsed period was characterized by further quantitative and qualitative growth of the veteran ranks.
For the current conference, the composition of the All-Russian Organization for 4 years has replenished by 14 branches of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
Today All-Russian Organization
Has its banner, its charter, emblem, anthem,
It is a monolithic veteran detachment uniting 132 organizations, including representing 78 subjects of the Russian Federation, with a total number of more than 1.5 million people.
The All-Russian organization has 975 local branches.
All our regional branches and representative offices in the Republic of Latvia were awarded banners.
The Council established public awards, special prizes and pennants to award the best organizations, which, incidentally, have traveled to space.
The organization’s council has developed organization passports and regularly summarizes information on the composition and number of subordinate organizations.
The most numerous and capable regional branches can be seen on the slide.
For the great work on patriotic education of youth, social protection of veterans:
4 representatives of the organization received state awards.
More than 1300 veterans of the Armed Forces received medals from the Ministry of Defense;
46 veterans were awarded the Patriot of Russia commemorative medal of the Russian Military Center under the Government of the Russian Federation,
More than 4 thousand veterans were awarded the order sign "For Fidelity to the Fatherland" and the sign "For Merit".
For four years, dozens of reporting-electoral and other meetings have been held in regional and other organizations. They became a show of veteran forces, a noticeable reason for the organizational strengthening of the veteran ranks.
The meetings were attended by the command and educational staff.
During the reporting campaigns, governing bodies were updated by one third.
Of course, we would not be able to achieve the above successes if we did not feel daily support from:
Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Army General Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu,
Chief of the General Staff of the Army General Valery Vasilyevich Gerasimov;
First Deputy Minister of Defense Ruslan Hadzhismelovich Tsalikov;
State Secretary - Deputy Minister of Defense of the Army General Nikolai Pankov,
Deputy Minister of Defense General of the Army Dmitry Vasilievich Bulgakov
Deputy Minister of Defense Tatyana Viktorovna Shevtsova;
Deputy Minister of Defense Timur Vadimovich Ivanov,
Head of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Colonel General Vasily Petrovich Tonkoshkurov,
Head of the Main Directorate for Work with Personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Major General Mikhail Vyacheslavovich Smyslov,
Head of the Main Military Medical Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Major General Alexander Yakovlevich Fisun,
And many other officials of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
It should be noted that the organization in the reporting period was not limited to its own interests. She actively interacted with many all-Russian veteran and other public associations, especially in issues representing common interests of a socio-economic and patriotic nature.
We have long-standing contractual obligations and business contacts with a number of these organizations. We all work closely together as part of the Coordinating Council of military service veterans, law enforcement officers and their families, headed by Viktor Alekseyevich Ozerov, chairman of the Defense and Security Committee of the Federation Council.
Here are briefly our results. They are real and tangible. I would like to note that they became possible as a result of the atmosphere of close interaction and cooperation, if you like, of fraternal friendship between the military command and control bodies, members of our Council and the heads of structural units of our entire organization.
Of course, speaking of the positive, one cannot but mention the existing shortcomings, which, unfortunately, are taking place.
Within the framework of the regulation, I will highlight only the main ones:
FIRST - This is the low activity and militancy of a number of our regional and local branches.
Some of them are small in number and do not have a growth base for their ranks.
Others do not have their own face. All activities are mainly carried out jointly with representatives of other all-Russian organizations. They themselves do not initiate interesting things.
Still others do not have business contact with the heads of garrisons, commanders of military units, military schools, employees of military commissariats, especially with deputy officers for work with personnel, assistants to commanders of military districts, military commissars of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation for work with veterans. As they say: "Boil in their own juice."
Fourth - do not use the power of inspector generals in their work. They do not plan joint participation in educational work with military personnel, youth in schools and other educational institutions.
In this regard, I would like to say that much of the above depends on the personality of the head of the regional or local branch. If he is inert, without desire, works in the organization, then there will be no good deeds.
Therefore, the issues of selecting initiative and business people for leadership positions, who are able to rally collectives of veterans, and lead them along with themselves, are a task of paramount importance.
And here the role of the heads of the garrisons, military commissars and their assistants to work with veterans of all levels is great. They, together with our Council, should take care of improving the quality of work of veteran organizations of the Armed Forces in the field.
The Minister of Defense set the task to make the veteran organizations of the Armed Forces exemplary, the most active and substantive in their work. And we need to jointly perform this task.
SECOND - This is an improvement in the task set by the President of the Russian Federation to strengthen the patriotic education of youth. As you know, the future of our country depends on this.
As already noted in the report, a lot is being done on this issue, but there are also enough reserves.
For example, in the work on the education of patriotism, the emphasis is more on work in schools, universities, etc. And much less can be seen veterans in military units, military schools, which, apparently, is due to their remoteness.
There are reserves in matters of mentoring, assisting young officers, contract soldiers in becoming new positions, mastering advanced methods of organizing classes in combat training and the educational process.
All this concerns local veteran organizations to a greater extent, that is, those who are closest to educational facilities.
And one more question. As you know, a lot of work is being done at the Ministry of Defense to organize the army movement.
The first, but big steps have already been taken. They are regularly reported in print. Now we need to fill this good deal with interesting events, take care of increasing the quantitative and qualitative composition of the movement.
And the role of veterans of the Armed Forces in this is considerable. "Unarmets" should be in the zone of close attention and care of regional and local veteran organizations. None of the major events of the Unarmeans should be held without veteran participation and assistance, since many of them will soon join the ranks of the officers, contract soldiers, in short, this is the future of the Armed Forces.
Most recently, by the decision of the Minister of Defense, the posts of assistant military commissars for military-patriotic work were introduced in military commissariats.
It is necessary to establish close contact with these officials and organize thoughtful, substantive work with representatives of the All-Russian movement "UNARMIA".
THIRD - This is an improvement in social work to help the most needy veterans. After all, the worst thing is when a person is left alone with his problems.
And in order to help a veteran, sometimes you need not even money, but attention. And those people who should signal the veteran’s problem and, most importantly, achieve a positive result should be members of the Councils and committees of veteran organizations.
It is important to have a good base of social problems of veterans, to meet more often with employees of military commissariats, medical institutions, trade unions, representatives of legislative and executive bodies, to pose and solve the problems of veterans.
In September, elections to the State Duma and local elected bodies were held. Winners are determined. The time has come from your submission to the deputies to fulfill their promises.
FOURTH - The Council of our organization is experiencing a clear lack of information from regional organizations.
For months, some leaders have not been in touch with the Council’s apparatus, don’t report on the events, and don’t send notes to the Veteran of the Armed Forces newspaper or to the website of the Ministry of Defense.
I think that together we need to correct the matter.
And the last one. I would ask delegates upon returning to the regions following the results of the conference to draw up plans for eliminating shortcomings identified during the past reporting and election campaign, including our conference.
At the II reporting and election conference, Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu identified veterans of the Armed Forces as his most important strategic reserve.
Therefore, veterans of the Armed Forces must continue to be at the height of the complex tasks that the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation has set before them and life itself sets.
I think that the speakers will complement my report.
In conclusion, on behalf of the Council, allow me to express my gratitude to all delegates and our guests for the good joint work in the reporting period, to wish everyone good health, prosperity and new successes for the benefit of our Motherland and the veteran movement.
Thanks for your attention!
