Friday afternoons at the Chop-Chop Barbershop in central Moscow used to be busy, but at the beginning of a recent weekend, only one of the four chairs was occupied.
“We would usually be full right now, but about half of our customers have gone,” said the manager, a woman named Olya. Many of the clients — along with half of the barbers, too — have fled Russia to avoid President Vladimir V. Putin’s campaign to mobilize hundreds of thousands of men for the flagging military campaign in Ukraine.
Many men have been staying off the streets out of fear of being handed a draft notice. As Olya came to work last Friday, she said, she witnessed the authorities at each of the four exits of the metro station, checking documents.

Where are those brave Moscovites? Hiding in closets? Dressed as women?

Well, the part of your post where you title the source as the ‘NYSlimes’ is correct.
The rest? Doubtful.
They’re ‘identifying’ as old women in babushkas picking cabbages, Comrade!
Sberbank, Russia’s largest lender, closed 529 branches in September alone, “according to Kommersant newspaper.”
Comrade, I’m a Conservative before I’m a Republican.
Not true no matter how many times you say it.
Poor strippers.
“Local media report that attendance at one of the largest strip clubs in Moscow went down by 60 percent and that there are also fewer security guards available because they had either been mobilized or fled.”
Bad Vlad sees his Russian people as dumb pawns to send to the Tsar’s meatgrinder. All this Vlad needs to do is look in the mirror to see Satanic. And he calls The West satanic?
What Hitler said before his suicide. That the German people were not worthy of him. Vlad might hit this wall too.
Lets get on the scene reports from NorseViking and Kazan!
This is my favorite Speedy comment. These people are truly unhinged.

I would rather the world end in nuclear war than yield to Little Pukin.

Time for Tsar Putin to start drafting chicks. At least a bit more of a party in the trench before the drone grenade drops on your head.
Yes, Speedy and company have gone completely off the rails hoping for WWIII and nuclear holocaust. With Joe Biden at the helm the Ukraine strategy has got to be almost as good as his withdrawal from Afghanistan was. Those boys really know how to pick a winner!
If you thought the level of ridiculous propaganda provided last month was comical wait until this winter when the Europeans start to face the reality of what this idiocy has accomplished. It would be funny except that millions of people are going to starve who have no connection to Ukraine and if you think inflation is bad now... wait until the real shortages begin. Way to go boys!
Imagine that!
Good work!
if only one out of four is occupied, that’s a 75% drop, not half...
“I feel like we are a country of women now,”
I’m torn between commenting about how Russia could become a new sex tourism hotspot, or how Russia has caught up to the US on this topic, so I’ll do both!
We need to be worrying about our own men — the absentee fathers, the metrosexuals, the over-tattooed, the steroid taking freaks, and the LGBTs — before we turn up our noses about Russian men.
