The State Duma is deciding the issue of naval officers' daggers
The State Duma of the Russian Federation considered today in the first reading a bill that exempts officers transferred to the reserve from registering the dirks they received with the Russian Guard, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
It is proposed to give the heads of state paramilitary organizations the right to transfer dirks for lifelong storage or wearing with military uniforms to Russian citizens dismissed or dismissed from these organizations, explained Deputy Director of the Russian Guard Oleg Plokhoy.
Deputy Ivan Teterin asked whether the law applies to award checkers and received a negative answer.
The question of the daggers of naval officers, which at that time were being confiscated by the Ministry of Defense, was raised at a press conference by Vladimir Putin at the end of 2015 by a military journalist from Sevastopol, Sergei Gorbachev. The President of the Russian Federation then supported the proposal to return daggers to officers.
More than a year later, in March 2017, the State Duma of the Russian Federation introduced changes to the Federal Law “On Weapons”, according to which naval officers who went into reserve received the right to wear naval dirks.
