Russian police raided the dormitory of the Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory and issued military summonses to multiple students late last week, the Telegram channel “Ostorozhno, Moskva” reported on Sunday.

A 26-year-old student named Daniil told the channel that the police detained him in his dorm room early Friday morning.

I woke up, and there were several police officers standing by my bed. They didn’t introduce themselves or anything like that. They asked me to get my military ID, and I got it and showed it to them. In the end, they just told me to get dressed and that we were going to the enlistment office. I was still half-asleep, it was all very unexpected, and I didn’t gather my things properly. I went there without any important documents.

According to Daniil, he and two other students were taken to the military enlistment office, where they spent over seven hours. He said he was released that day but issued a summons for Monday, and the authorities did not return his passport.

Looks like search results for "how to leave russia" or "how to dodge draft" are gonna be on the rise. Putin has been avoiding the idea of drafting people from moscow and petersburg for this exact reason and once people start to notice it's the rich regions turn to be thrown into the meat waves they're gonna be upset to say the least.

By all means putin throw your future workers head first to the wall of bullets that's one way to cause brain drain. Not to mention making the economic crisis and demographic crisis worse.

I cant imagine what it must be like to know you likely will never return from a land you never been, so you can take it for men who don't know you even exist, or even remotely care.
