Social protection of soldiers of the armed forces of modern Azerbaijan

Abstract

In modern warfare, one of the key places in motivating servicemen is social protection, which the state guarantees to them and their family members. This is especially important given the "humanization" of the war, which aims to disable the fighters (wounds of varying severity, psychological losses), rather than their elimination. In view of this, modern practices of social support in countries that have successful combat experience seem relevant. One of the latest examples was the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia in Karabakh. A separate aspect of relevance for Ukraine is that both countries are also natives of the USSR and the corresponding model of social protection. Analysis of the current state of the problem in Azerbaijan shows that it has not yet been possible to completely change the inherited practices from the USSR, but there is a positive experience in the form of developing a system of social funds. Moreover, the financing of these funds is based on the principle of public-private partnership, with a clear awareness of the duty to the participants in hostilities.
