SOCIAL PROTECTION IN ASSESSMENTS OF MILITARY PERSONNEL IN RUSSIAN REGIONS
Based on an analysis of the data from a number of opinion polls, the article identifies the problems of social protection for Russian military personnel: 1) the 2012 military social reform was not supported by an effective inflationary indexation of monetary allowance, which in the long run leads to a decline in the standard of living of a military family; 2) the rejection of the basic components of the system of benefits leads to a significant differentiation of the standard of living of the family of military personnel; 3) the abolition of basic benefits for medical and sanatorium-resort services leads to a reduction in the possibility of free medical care in civilian medical institutions of military personnel; 4) imbalances are manifested in the system of satisfying the educational needs of military personnel, a gap remains between the processes of educational professional design and the formation of social needs in the professional potential of both the military man and his family members. The latter determines the inevitable formation of a number of functional factors of inhibition: 1) the deterioration of the atmosphere of relations between the actors of the modern military collective; 2) the weakening of the system of material incentives for service and labor activities of military personnel, which means a drop in motivation, the prestige of military service. If urgent measures are not taken to overcome these negative manifestations, the Russian military organizations are doomed to a drop in functional efficiency, imbalances in the system of material and non-material factors of service and labor motivation of military personnel will inevitably arise in military collectives. In modern conditions, it is necessary to develop and implement a program to improve the system of social protection of military personnel, which includes three sections. 1. Development of a mechanism for inflationary indexation of monetary allowances, which in a strategic perspective should ensure the return of monetary allowances of military personnel to the real level of 2012. Formation of a legislatively fixed system of compulsory anticipatory inflationary compensation of wages by military personnel. Modernization of the system of material motivation for the service activity of military personnel, additional stimulation of the professional activity of military actors. 2. The extension of the system of social guarantees to all members of the military family in educational and medical segments. Integration of educational services processes with the employment system of perfect-old family members of a military serviceman. Providing opportunities for military personnel to receive medical assistance in various medical institutions, regardless of their departmental affiliation, form of ownership. 3. Development of a mechanism for additional payments of benefits to the family of a serviceman. It is important to differentiate the level of benefits regarding not only the number of disabled children, but also the living conditions and life of family members, as well as the project for the development of their physical and spiritual needs. When determining family allowance, it is important to assess the entire system of needs of military family members, to rank the needs according to their social significance, as well as their influence on the formation of the professional potential of a military serviceman, to establish a hierarchy of importance to satisfy the most important, less important and secondary needs of a military serviceman and individual members of his family. Formation of a fund of additional cash payments to families in need of material support.
