From a contact in Russia:
On mobilization in Russia

One of my friends got mobilized recently. He’s a mobile gamedev and a conscientious objector. So he tried to flee his city (Petrozavodsk) and drove to the nearest border (of Kazakhstan) but the seemingly endless traffic jam made him return in despair.

That’s how they caught him and transported to the nearest voenkomat. He couldn’t believe his eyes. There was a WW2 veteran standing in line as a volunteer. Soldiers were given out vatniks sheathed in camo print. Boots with so many holes that they looked like crocs and kits with personal hygiene items that included condoms. Yes, condoms. A Russian analogue of Durex - Gusarskiye so naturally they were also peppered w/ holes - a point of hearty laughter of everyone involved

They were to be transported in cargo section of soviet plane to Ukraine.

They were allowed to “relax” for a few hours before that - i.e get drunk/high out of their minds and listen to the instructions of the Politruk who riled them up by talking about beauty of the Ukrainian woman and prosperity of the average household.

The tattered drunks of all ages were all ears. “Listen up, scum. You’re about to fly first class to a western democracy. So do what you do best: destroy their livelihoods and make them pay for being better than us. We will defile their land because we can. First and foremost, we are Eurasianists. We’ve learned from the best: Mongols, fascists and communists. You don’t need any training - it’s in your blood. No need for fancy gear either. The strongest will survive and bring his enemies to heel” as my friend later recalled speech.

So obviously he was looking for a way to escape this. He stood up and said “I’m gay”. A crazed mob jumped him and beat him bloody. But he smiled the whole time, ignoring broken ribs and bruises. Nevertheless he persisted. He’s going to prison for life for his orientation instead.

bankers and journalists working for the state media?

IOW, Putin is a globalist, but just has a different idea of globalism.

“Experts Believe Russia Low On Soldiers After Putin Spotted Trying To Teach A Polar Bear How To Drive A Tank”

Completely true! It was on the BBC, and in the Daily Mail!

Mobilization commissar shot:

A guy shot a local military commissar in Ust-Ilimsk of Irkustsk, Russia. Very interesting things are happening in Russia after the mobilization.

Mobilization center burned to ground:

Russian man backs up his car against the entrance of a mobilization center in the Volgograd region and starts throwing Molotov cocktails.

He managed to burn down the center.

All information about local draftees was kept on paper in the building, as Russia hasn’t digitized yet.

All according to plan.

More:

A Russian man lit himself on fire at a bus station in Ryazan while yelling he didn’t want to take part in the Ukraine war. Same morning as a military commandant overseeing the draft in a Siberian town was shot. Tensions high in Russia over mobilization.

There was a WW2 veteran standing in line as a volunteer.

Totally believable as most WW2 vets are in their 90s.

Not on the BBC - this isn’t one of your non-factual books.

The Putinists are already filling the keywords with falsehood doggerel keywords.

On the matter of Russians fleeing the callup, I agree with Estonia’s president when she said that she had no sympathy for them because they sat silently or openly supporting Russia’s invasion and only now are they “bothered” by it comes to them personally.

Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland have also closed the border due to Russian influx.

One of the problems now is wether Russia will ever approve an amnesty for the draft dodgers? Otherwise there is a whole lot of young Russian men that other countries will have to absorb. (Vietnam - Canada x100)

Let a German Leopard 2 or US Abrams M1A2 get sent to Ukraine and then have photo or vid footage of them getting destroyed, the Russians will have an absolute PR field day. Be assured.

The Ukrainians are destroying enough of your tanks as is.

When they get Leopards or Abrams, then Putin’s army will be tossed out faster.
