Federal law clearly states who has the right to be considered a participant in hostilities. These are not only military, but also civilians who took part in the performance of combat missions during armed conflicts. In order to be included in the list of beneficiaries, a citizen must submit documents and obtain a certificate. The process of its registration for a participant in hostilities is enshrined in federal legislation and has remained unchanged.
Applicants for the status of participants
There are two statuses for military personnel and civilians who have served in an armed conflict zone: veteran and participant. The confusion stems from the fact that the law is interpreted in different ways. The fact is that the status "participant" is found in many regulations, but nowhere is there a definition for it. Arbitrage practice equates participants with veterans, last changes the legislation confirms this. For this reason, the provisions of the Federal Law No. 5 "On Veterans" also apply to participants.
According to it, the status of a participant or veteran should be assigned to the following groups of citizens:
- Servicemen, law enforcement officers, conscripts. To obtain the appropriate status, they had to be seconded to the zone of military conflicts on the territory of the country or abroad. There must be a corresponding order of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR or the Russian Federation about this.
- The same categories of citizens can apply for the status if they were engaged in demining the territories of the USSR from May 10, 1945 to the end of 1957.
- Servicemen of the automobile troops are equated to the participants in the event that they delivered goods to Afghanistan from 1978 to 1989. Medical workers are also eligible for status if they worked in the area during the specified period.
- Aircrew who delivered cargo and equipment in the territory of military conflicts also have the right to obtain the status of a participant or veteran. The only limitation is that during the period of the combat mission, the citizen should have been wounded, concussed, traumatized, or awarded.
Separately, it should be said about the participants in the Syrian conflicts. In this country, they flashed several times: 1967, 1970, 1972-1973, 1982, and also from September 30, 2015 to the present.
Not only servicemen, but also civilians who helped carry out combat missions in Syria can apply for the status of a participant. In the near future, it is planned to adopt an amendment that will give the status of a DB participant to the workers of the Khmeimim airbase. It will act similarly to the provisions for those involved in the resolution of the conflict in Chechnya.
How to confirm your status
The issuance of a certificate takes place only on the basis of documentary confirmation of the status. Let's figure out what it can be:
- extract from a personal file;
- extract from column 17 of the military ID;
- certificates in the established form from the military registration and enlistment office;
- certificates of wounds, injuries and contusions received during participation in hostilities;
- extracts from orders for enrollment in the lists of military units that conducted military operations;
- travel certificates;
- extracts from the work book;
- flight books;
- premium materials.
In the absence of these documents, certificates are taken from the archives, requests are sent to military units. If the applicant for the rank of a DB participant still serves in one of the units of the armed forces, then the request is sent by the leadership of this formation. Otherwise, you must contact the military commissariat.
In addition to supporting documents, you need to prepare:
- passport or identity document (make a copy in advance);
- application, its sample can be taken at the military registration and enlistment office;
- 2 matte 3 x 4 photos with a free right corner.
Registration is carried out at the place of military registration, in the district commissariat. The commission will spend some time to consider the application and check the documents, after which it will assign the status of a participant or veteran of the database. The exact term depends on the availability of information in the archives and the dates of the applicant's service. The family of the deceased DB member can apply for a confirmation certificate.
What is indicated in the certificate
It is important that this document is completed correctly to receive benefits. It looks like a small book. It contains information:
- document's name;
- full name of the issuing authority;
- series and number;

The protection of the honor and security of the state in armed conflicts provides servicemen the right to state benefits and benefits. Confirms his certificate of a participant in hostilities. We will tell you in detail how to get this document and what social benefits it brings.
Who are the participants in the hostilities?
First, let's clarify important pointconcerning terminology. Citizens who have participated in military conflicts are divided into participants and veterans of hostilities (hereinafter UBD and VBD), and these concepts are often confused. The difference is as follows.
- Only persons who are registered in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can be granted WBD status. Moreover, their participation in military clashes by virtue of their profession continues for a long time.
- The UBD status is assigned to non-professional military personnel who are called upon to participate in armed conflicts for a short period. Among them are employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Penitentiary Service and others public servicesas well as civilians.
From the point of view of a set of social rights and privileges, the statuses of the WBD and UBD are absolutely identical. For this reason, these concepts are not legally differentiated and are regulated by a single law on benefits for veterans ().
- military personnel (active and retired);
- citizens called up for military training;
- employees of the Ministry of Defense (including former employees of the USSR Ministry of Defense);
- police officers, security agencies, correctional institutions and other government services;
- representatives of other professions sent to the conflict zone to carry out special tasks.
All of them can count on receiving a WBD certificate in case of participation in armed conflicts both within the country and abroad. At the same time, the list of military conflicts, for participation in which benefits are entitled, is strictly limited by law (annex to the law on veterans).
Currently, events on the territory of the following foreign states are relevant for the assignment of veteran status:
- military operations in the Syrian Republic (2005);
- ensuring the security of Russians in South Ossetia and Abkhazia (2008);
- military operations in Chechnya (1994-1996);
