BACKGROUND: The problem of resocialization of military pensioners of working age in the civilian community is currently one of the urgent problems of both the state and society. Being a potential labor resource, this social group faces the need for a radical restructuring of its lifestyle and trajectories of labor activity (employment), the need for professional retraining. OBJECTIVE: The purpose to study the features of the resocialization of military pensioners of working age in the main areas of its course, as well as to identify the main problems of the process of their resocialization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The article presents studies implemented using the methods of focus group discussions (two focus groups n=9, n=5), a questionnaire using a standard questionnaire for determining the quality of life SF-36 (n=413) and an authors questionnaire (n=413). RESULTS: The health-saving behavior of military pensioners is contradictory: on the one hand, they strive to preserve the useful health-saving habits acquired in the army (sleep and nutrition, commitment to sports) and at the same time note a two-fold decrease in physical activity; they understand the value of health, putting it in first or second place in the system of value orientations, and at the same time demonstrate a decreased the level of their own health-saving behavior, not paying enough attention to prevention and timely access to medical care. One of the most important motives for the re-socialization of modern military pensioners is the desire to maintain a high level and quality of their lives, as well as the lives of their families, which is significantly reduced due to their retirement. CONCLUSION: Socially useful qualities and skills acquired by respondents during military service should be used as much as possible in the process of their re-socialization into civil society. It will not only help military pensioners adapt, but will also contribute to solving a number of personnel and demographic problems at the level of public administration, as well as strengthening the practices of social solidarity in modern Russian society.

The article examines the main indicators of the quality of life of military pensioners and their relationship with re-socialization after retirement. The results of a medico-sociological study, using the questionnaire method (n=413), using the standard SF-36 questionnaire who were dismissed from military service no more than five years ago. Military retirees with high rates of the physical component (according to the SF-36 scales) receive less information from doctors about vaccinations and other preventive measures, so it is necessary to optimize this work with them. The size of the scale of vital activity was significantly influenced by the fact of employment, living conditions, and financial satisfaction. In this regard, it is advisable to develop medical and social programs in three main areas: optimization of treatment and prophylactic measures (talks about the need to quit smoking, timely vaccination, the presence of moderate regular physical activity, improvement of medical care); development of employment assistance programs (expansion of the list of retraining courses in specialties in demand in the region, presentation in the media of the image of a military pensioner as a promising employee); functioning of psychological support rooms for those dismissed from military service.

The article presents comprehensive analysis of the results of actual foreign medical sociological studies of various aspects of effect of human religiosity to commitment to healthy life-style. The relationship between human religiosity and commitment to healthy life-style is traced back on the basis of actual foreign publications.
