Putin dismisses talk of another mobilization as ‘nonsense.’ But Russia has spent four years closing the loopholes that helped people avoid the last one.

Açıklama

Russian authorities continue to insist there are no plans for a new, large-scale wave of mobilization this fall. On September 1, Vladimir Putin called the rumors “complete nonsense.” There is also no urgent military need to expand the army by several hundred thousand mobilized troops. Still, the media’s constant churning of the topic is clearly frightening Russians. There is indirect evidence that many are looking into the option of leaving the country on short notice. So we decided to explain what people in Russia need to know, whether they trust the authorities’ assurances or believe another mobilization is inevitable. These are the laws Russia has passed since 2022 that would, in one way or another, be useful to the state if it once again decides to forcibly replenish the ranks of the Russian armed forces. What loopholes did they close? What should you remember about deferments? And who wasn’t at risk of mobilization before, but is now?
