Our goal is to help and provide a decent standard of living to those who defended our Motherland from the fascist invaders, worked in the rear and were devoted to their work and 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 founding conference of war and labor veterans. Then they were created regional branches organizations - regional, regional and republican Councils of Veterans. The first chairman of the All-Union Council of Veterans was 72-year-old Kirill Mazurov, former member 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 - “All-Russian Public Organization of Veterans (Pensioners) of War, Labor, Armed Forces and law enforcement agencies”, which is still in force. The organization has regional branches in all regions 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.

Currently, we are the largest public organization helping veterans in Russia. The declared number of registered members of the organization for 2017 is 28 million people. Our organization has 85 regional representative offices, 2,687 district, 72,460 primary veteran organizations at the place of residence, 45 in enterprises and institutions, 60 in higher education institutions. educational institutions. In the Branches section you can see a detailed list of key representative offices.

War veterans are a very interesting and unusual generation, which walked with honor along the frontline fiery roads of the Great Patriotic War, endured all the trials of life 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, their youth during the first five-year plans, and as young people they participated in the military operations of the Red Army in pre-war years. They defended their homeland in a brutal war against the Nazis and liberated the occupied cities and villages of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova and the Baltic republics. It was the Soviet soldiers who brought liberation to the peoples of Europe from fascism!

In the peaceful post-war years, front-line soldiers raised the destroyed National economy, built giant factories, managed factories and collective farms, taught future cosmonauts in schools and institutes, educated Heroes of Socialist Labor and famous leaders in production.

And now the time has come when we must help them, surround them with care and ensure a dignified old age. After all, even now their living conditions are quite difficult, so they really need our support.

As part of our work, we solve the following tasks:

  • protection of civil, socio-economic, labor and personal rights of veterans;
  • improvement financial situation, medical and consumer services for veterans;
  • legal assistance to veterans and members of their families;
  • targeted assistance to veterans in difficult life situations;
  • development of the volunteer movement throughout the country;
  • patriotic education of youth;
  • military historical work.

WHAT PROBLEMS 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 shortcomings. There are regular delays in the payment of pensions, benefits, and shortages of benefits and quotas for medical care. We try to understand every issue that arises, try to ensure timely payments and compliance with the full scope of benefits and simplify all related procedures as much as possible.

    Improving the financial situation, medical and consumer services of veterans.
    Today, more than 40% of war and labor veterans need material support to receive timely and high-quality medical care, for repairs in apartments and houses, for the purchase of medicines, clothing, food and household goods. More than 10% need home care, and more than 20% need placement in special social institutions (nursing homes and boarding schools). With the money raised, we provide individual targeted support to veterans (for example, purchasing wheelchairs and medicines, renovating apartments, organizing the work of social services to help at home, and much, much more).

    Legal assistance to veterans and members of their families.
    Our life is quite unpredictable and sometimes poses questions that require the support of a competent lawyer. Currently, qualified legal support is very expensive. We accept applications from veterans and try to provide legal assistance in difficult everyday situations.

    Development of the volunteer movement throughout the country.
    One of the most powerful levers for helping veterans and older people is volunteers. The development of the volunteer movement is one of the most important tasks of our organization. We are currently collaborating with the volunteer organization “Victory Volunteers”, organizing assistance projects and taking various measures to popularize the volunteer movement.

APPLICATIONS AND CALLS ARE ACCEPTED 24/7 and 7 days a week.

It's fast and FOR FREE!

At the same time, regional branches of the organization were immediately created, which worked with veterans and pensioners, helped them in social and other issues and provided public employment.

Such councils operate to this day, existing within government agencies and as a separate entity. Therefore, you should know what the main tasks of the Veterans Council are in 2020, and how such organizations work.

General provisions

Veterans' councils, including those in Moscow, are created and operate to protect the rights and help in their implementation of labor and war veterans, pensioners and disabled people who need increased social protection.

Participation in the Council is voluntary, but joining it imposes certain responsibilities and rules of conduct, for failure to comply with which there is a risk of simply being expelled from the organization.

Often veterans who are not even members of the Council can turn to such organizations; they are also helped and their problems are solved.

In addition, such organizations are also involved in the patriotic education of young people, organizing themed concerts, events, as well as meetings with famous fellow countrymen, most often war veterans, who distinguished themselves in defending the Motherland and left a mark on the history of their native land.

Like all Councils, veterans' organizations also have a chairman, his deputies and other leaders, but decisions are made jointly, at a meeting of a commission of current members.

In addition, there are local branches of veterans’ councils, which are supervised by regional ones, and they, in turn, are subordinate to all-Russian ones; this distribution makes it possible to cover the needs of all veterans and pensioners.

Important Concepts

To understand the functioning of the Veterans Council, it is necessary to understand certain concepts used in the field. So, this will help to better understand the specifics of the work, as well as establish who is responsible for what in such structures.

Term Meaning
Veteran A person who participated in military operations on the territory of Russia or other countries on instructions from the military command, or has certain merits in labor that were awarded awards. The concept of veteran implies a long period of service or work in a certain field, during which certain achievements were obtained
Social support Measures that are used by government agencies or public organizations to help people in need and solve their problems of a material, social or legal nature. Social support can be expressed in the form of payment of a certain amount of money, free receipt of any service, or consultations with experts in a certain field
Public organization A voluntary association of non-state citizens that was created on the basis of common interests and goals. Has a certain influence on most areas of human activity, and is often involved in helping certain people in various aspects of life

Goals of Veterans Organizations

The officially declared goals of veterans' organizations are, of course, to improve the financial condition of veterans and protect their legal rights, but there are other areas of activity.

Thus, the following can be added to the goals of veterans’ councils:

Legal basis

Basically, when working, veterans' organizations rely on the law 5-FZ "On Veterans", which describes which people can receive the status of a veteran, their right to certain benefits and assistance from the state and other nuances relating specifically to persons with veteran status, and we're talking about both about workers and military.

Therefore, all work to protect veterans of the Great Patriotic War and their rights occur precisely according to this legislation, which is also adhered to by the Veterans Council.

The right to form public organizations is spelled out in the Constitution of the Russian Federation and its Article 30, which states that citizens can freely unite, including in trade unions, in order to protect the rights and interests of citizens. At the same time, only individuals, and the prosecutor’s office monitors their compliance with the laws.

Important aspects

Veteran organizations have their own structure, which allows for management at all levels, but at the same time, these organizations are no different from public ones, and are even subject to the same laws.

After all, the legal norms do not say anything about veterans’ associations and therefore such organizations operate on a general basis. But at the same time, there is a charter of the association, which determines the structural division into different organizations.

Also of particular interest are the nuances associated with the financing of veteran organizations, as well as how they can cease their activities.

Organization structure

Veterans' organizations and their structures vary depending on the department in which they are organized and the scope of the work. But in most cases, everything is managed by the All-Russian Council of Veterans, to which the federal districts, in which coordination councils work, are subordinate.

This is followed by veterans' associations by type of activity, if there are any, these can be organizations working at educational institutions, military structures and others. But this separate categories, and regional structures are directly subordinate to the federal districts.

At the bottom level are the primary organizations of veterans, which work in populated areas and within the district, and also directly interact with future and current members of the Council.

Each department is led by a Chairman, who has assistants and deputies. The main power lies with the members of the public organization, and all decisions are made through public meetings, for example, at conferences or meetings.

Those who serve on the Veterans Council have both rights and responsibilities that must be met to maintain membership. Among the rights of participants are:

  • the right to election and to be elected to governing and supervisory bodies different levels veteran structure;
  • use the support of the organization to protect rights and interests;
  • take part in other public organizations;
  • understand the activities of the veterans’ organization at its various levels, as well as make constructive proposals for improving work;
  • participate in the organization’s events;
  • carry out instructions from the structure to the extent possible;
  • financially support the association.

Also, members of veterans' councils have few responsibilities. They consist of working to increase the authority of the veterans’ organization among the population, as well as potential members, participating in the work of the organization and carrying out assignments, as well as participating in sponsoring activities, but provided that their financial situation allows it.

How are funds generated for the company?

Funds for the company can be generated through the payment of a membership fee, as well as voluntary donations from members of the organization. In addition, it is possible to attract sponsors who are interested in helping veterans, cooperate with companies and the government.

Most often, in addition to private sponsors, veterans' councils are sponsored by the state, which provides not only grants, but also other benefits, especially in terms of tax payments.

Thus, if there is a sponsor who has declared income and is ready to help, the veterans’ council can receive funds from him, and all funds spent are accountable and strictly controlled by higher branches and law enforcement agencies.

Termination mechanism

The liquidation of a public organization, which includes veterans, occurs by decision of the congress of members of the association, as required by the organization’s charter. Also, termination may be a court decision that was made in accordance with Article 44 of the Law “On Public Associations”.

The property that remains after the liquidation of the organization is used for purposes that are either specified in the charter or were determined during the last congress of members.

If you wish to terminate the activities of a public organization, you must inform the body that gave permission to create it, and you must liquidate it within 10 days from the date of submission of all the necessary documents.

Veterans' councils operate throughout Russia, and they exist in almost every government agency, but can also be formed by citizens. They protect the rights and freedoms of labor and war veterans, and also provide them with social and legal assistance.
