Mobilization, in the original sense of this word in modern Russia, was conducted. The Russian Federation conducted the annual conscription, mobilization, however, it can not be considered. Domestic troops were mobilized, for example, during the great Patriotic war. Accordingly, in 1945 the Soviet authorities announced the demobilization.

Despite this, the term "demobilization" continues to be used by Russian servicemen who were held or continue to undergo military conscription. Under DMB they mean the process by which a person retires in the stock at the expiration of the term of his service.

However, retirement is not equivalent to demobilization. These two terms refer to different processes and have significant differences. Demobilization broader concept, it relates to the whole country.
