In addition, before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the general system was to arrange soldiers to serve in areas far from their homes.
For example, soldiers from Ukraine are likely to be sent to serve in the Far East, Central Asia or near Moscow.
Soldiers from the Far East usually serve in Ukraine or the Eurasian border areas. Its purpose is to enhance the understanding of the relationship between different ethnic groups and promote national integration.
(After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, soldiers were roughly divided into 1 point and 15 point according to their native place. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the general principle was to divide troops according to their place of origin.
For example, Ukrainian soldiers stationed in Russia or Central Asian countries will be allowed to return to Ukraine, but they still need to complete their military service in Ukraine according to the remaining service time.
The same is true of soldiers from Russia or Central Asian countries but stationed in Ukraine or other countries.
Usually, these soldiers can return to Russia or Central Asian countries to retire after their military service.
However, according to the principle of soldiers' origin, this principle is not absolute, because after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, some soldiers were unwilling to return to their origin for various reasons.
So at that time, all countries in the former Soviet Union basically allowed soldiers to choose their place of residence and continue their military service.
This is the most common situation in Russia, especially those who are promoted to Soviet officers. Quite a few people choose to continue serving in the Russian army instead of returning to their country of origin.
So far, there are many officers from the former Soviet Union in the Russian army.
According to the deployment during the disintegration of the Soviet Union, all the equipment and ammunition of the former Soviet army except soldiers were owned by the host country, except nuclear weapons.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, its nuclear arsenals were distributed in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
But it is obvious that neither Russia nor the international community can accept that these three countries have become nuclear powers.
Therefore, shortly after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the countries concerned immediately started negotiations on how to dispose of the nuclear weapons distributed in the three countries.
In the end, China, the United States, Russia, Britain and France publicly promised not to use nuclear weapons against the three countries in exchange for the three countries giving up all nuclear weapons on our territory.
These nuclear weapons were later handed over to Russia in accordance with the agreement.
