“Soldiers' Mothers of St. Petersburg” is a non-governmental human rights organization that legally defends the rights of conscripts, soldiers in the active army, and their families by informing them of their legal right to refuse military conscription. Our organization informs people of their constitutional rights and shows then how they can make use of the laws that protect them. We teach people how they can take an active role in protecting their rights to life, health and self-respect.

Our organization acts as a vehicle for the formation of legal culture. In order for Russia to become a truly democratic state, it is necessary to alter people's perpective and understanding of the law. We believe that every Russian citizen has to know their rights in order to become an active member of civil society. Only pressure from below can guarantee a democratic development in the Russian Federation.
