Rosobrnadzor intends to gather data on pupils and students across schools, colleges, and universities to support the maintenance of military records. This plan was disclosed in a government decree published in the official gazette and is described by an internet portal focused on legal information. The decree specifies the action as the collection of essential information about citizens studying at educational institutions for the purpose of keeping military records and the subsequent electronic transfer of this data to a national information source that holds the information needed to update military registration documents. This approach underscores the broader process of integrating civilian educational data into a centralized military registry and raises questions about data governance, privacy protections, and interoperability with state information systems.
