[00:00:00] in the city is empty, everything
[00:00:02] that was familiar to you before and noisy, also
[00:00:06] becomes empty,
[00:00:17] raids, cops will grab people, put pressure on them, force
[00:00:21] them to sign contracts, so come with your grandmother, no, please, don't come with your grandmother
[00:00:25] anywhere, let your grandmother go alone herself, this is due to the fact that people are simply not
[00:00:28] informed, they tell you, do you want to die in prison or in war, Prigozhin,
[00:00:31] by the way, was more effective than the opposite, it was just some
[00:00:34] media event.
[00:00:39] Ivan Chuvilyaev, press secretary of the anti-war organization "Go
[00:00:42] to the Forest", gave an interview to the program "In Trend" in Spain, in Barcelona.
[00:00:46] In it he told how Vladimir Putin and his
[00:00:50] pocket Duma changed the model of mobilization, which
[00:00:54] country will not extradite Russian deserters,
[00:00:57] why is the grandmother from Penza stronger?
[00:01:30] ended in September twenty second year, this is how long
[00:01:33] Idite Lesom has existed, so long mobilization continues. Putin
[00:01:37] did not sign any decree on its termination, this mobilization changes
[00:01:40] its form, changes its target audience, it
[00:01:44] addresses either students, or conscripts, or
[00:01:47] debtors, or prisoners and so on and so on
[00:01:50] and so on and so on all this, well, because of
[00:01:54] this switching of the target audience, it
[00:01:57] goes well. Based
[00:02:00] on all of the above, the answer, if necessary,
[00:02:04] is short, we do not know,
[00:02:06] it turns out that there will not be
[00:02:10] such a moment as in the autumn of twenty-second
[00:02:13] year with the announcement that all men from such and such an age
[00:02:16] receive a summons and go to the enlistment office, this will not
[00:02:19] happen, there will be no repetition for sure, Putin will not appear on television,
[00:02:23] he will not say, "I have made a decision", people will not receive the
[00:02:27] same papers they received before, simply because... they no longer need to be sent
[00:02:30] these papers, there is a single register of those liable for military service,
[00:02:34] they will receive them through public services, possibly already receiving them.
[00:02:38] There are actually two options: either what we
[00:02:41] have now will continue, raids, cops will
[00:02:44] grab people, put pressure on them, force them to sign
[00:02:47] contracts, or they will come up with something else, for example,
[00:02:51] they will clean out prisons, for example,
[00:02:54] mass layoffs will begin at large enterprises, the matter is actually moving quite
[00:02:58] towards this... why are there any signs? And
[00:03:02] the signs are primarily an increase in fines, a lot has already
[00:03:05] been said about this, about the fact that for
[00:03:07] not reporting, in fact, for not handing over
[00:03:11] their employees to the Ministry of Defense for information,
[00:03:14] a fine is imposed, this means that small
[00:03:17] enterprises, they are more likely, of course, to give up their employee
[00:03:21] than to -uh further, accordingly,
[00:03:25] somehow make excuses, and excuse him, excuse themselves
[00:03:29] from the fine. Of course, it is not profitable for them, they will continue to give up their
[00:03:32] employees, who will work, and why
[00:03:36] work if the country is under military law, everyone who should
[00:03:39] work, should die, they have
[00:03:42] such, I suspect, logic,
[00:03:44] if, uh, back in twenty-second year I want
[00:03:48] to remind you, there were cases, there was
[00:03:51] a very common scheme, when people, employees of large
[00:03:55] enterprises, sometimes very valuable,
[00:03:57] for example, uh, Norilsk Nickel. at least, or Tat
[00:04:01] Neft, they were called to the HR department with the words: "Please come to the HR
[00:04:05] department, a piece of paper is waiting for you there with impatience, which
[00:04:08] states that you are excused,
[00:04:10] specifically, Potanin, he excused you, he
[00:04:14] went to Putin and said, I really
[00:04:17] need electrician Vasya, so, please go to the HR department, get this
[00:04:20] paper, proudly take it home, make your wife and children happy.
[00:04:24] People went and met in the HR department, not HR employees,
[00:04:28] but military enlistment office employees." So, for example, the wonderful
[00:04:32] guy Dania Arkhipov, an electrician from Norilsk Nickel, ended up in the
[00:04:36] army, in one day, he was told, go in and get a deferment,
[00:04:40] he went in, and there was no deferment after that, so within
[00:04:43] a couple of days he ended up in Ukraine, and he was able to get out
[00:04:47] only with the help of a grenade detonator exploding in his
[00:04:50] hand, and then a long, long, long heartbreaking
[00:04:54] journey for a nineteen-twenty-year-old kid at that
[00:04:57] time, which happily ended well, thank
[00:05:01] God, he lives in Paris, he seems to be writing a book. Everyone
[00:05:04] says, experts, that Putin has
[00:05:08] problems with manpower,
[00:05:12] with...
[00:06:12] who told them these fairy tales, far away, because the fairy tale is sewn with white
[00:06:15] threads, it is bad,
[00:06:18] to someone, well, not to mention the fact that
[00:06:22] students in this case actually everything depends on this, students in
[00:06:26] this case are people of good will, he wanted to,
[00:06:29] he went to an institute, and if he didn't want to, he dropped out and went to work at a factory or collect
[00:06:33] bottles, or just sit at home playing computer games, and
[00:06:37] live on his grandmother's pension, please,
[00:06:40] with a thirty-forty-year-old man, of course, it won't work, because
[00:06:43] he has debts, he has alimony, he has utilities, he
[00:06:47] has this, that, and the other, and he can be caught,
[00:06:51] he is directly dependent, so the question
[00:06:54] is exclusively which audience they are currently
[00:06:57] addressing, before it was actually quite simple for
[00:07:01] some time, here the spring
[00:07:05] campaign is primarily interested in men of military
[00:07:08] age, because there you can accordingly turn this
[00:07:11] conscript into a contract soldier with a quick, easy
[00:07:15] hand movement, yes, and men over
[00:07:18] 30, they are in the interval between these conscription campaigns,
[00:07:21] accordingly, here we walk through colonies,
[00:07:25] investigators come to detention centers, make all sorts of pleasant
[00:07:29] offers, and well, as it were, all
[00:07:33] the rest on a residual basis, now this
[00:07:36] story is over, because there is no conscription, it is 12 months a
[00:07:39] year, and they have to actually
[00:07:42] spin around and come up with some new schemes, here we see them
[00:07:45] in Penza and other small towns, well, what kind,
[00:07:49] for example, please explain, I mean
[00:07:52] now, of course, the main trend of recent months, and
[00:07:56] especially in fact August, these are
[00:07:58] raids, uh-huh, of which there are very
[00:08:01] many, when the police stop
[00:08:04] everyone they can stop, and they can
[00:08:07] stop, as we perfectly understand, anyone,
[00:08:11] and check documents.
[00:08:42] why not, well, you're an alcoholic, some terrible antisocial creature,
[00:08:45] we're depriving you of parental rights or sign a contract,
[00:08:49] he signs a contract and leaves, what should
[00:08:52] a person do who well understands his
[00:08:55] rights, he was caught, he turned out to be, well, some
[00:08:59] engineer, what should he do, it's funny, there is no such person, thank
[00:09:02] God, Putin or
[00:09:06] Belousov will tell you, they are very happy, they do everything so that
[00:09:10] there is no such person, because the state... the mad printer
[00:09:14] regularly adjusts the legislative framework
[00:09:17] to their goals, yesterday you
[00:09:21] could simply wipe yourself with a summons, fold them
[00:09:25] in a stack like this in the toilet and use them for their direct purpose, uh-huh, but
[00:09:28] now it seems you can't,
[00:09:32] and this is
[00:09:34] actually the main trouble and the main horror, because
[00:09:38] the Russian authorities are creating
[00:09:41] man-made chaos.
[00:09:43] within which it is very easy for a person to make a big mistake
[00:09:47] and ruin his own life, simply because
[00:09:50] he does not know what is legal and what is illegal, what he
[00:09:53] can do and what he cannot do, those laws that are adopted today
[00:09:57] can quite well be used ex post facto to imprison a person for
[00:10:00] what he did at a time when it was legal, although
[00:10:04] today it is illegal, the story with the article for fakes
[00:10:08] is very characteristic in this sense, and any legislation
[00:10:12] in Russia is now applied exactly like that, yes,
[00:10:15] wonderful, and not the State Duma massively, on what
[00:10:18] there, December 1st, voted, raised their hands
[00:10:21] and said: no conscription, conscription 12 months a year.
[00:10:25] Let's work, brothers, as they say, addressing comrades
[00:10:28] from the military enlistment office, who are already sitting in a stupor and do not understand how
[00:10:32] they will cope with this flow of people,
[00:10:34] that's it, from this
[00:10:38] moment on, there can be no talk of any conscription, what should those
[00:10:41] lawyers who work with military
[00:10:45] law, with the rights of conscripts, do in this situation,
[00:10:48] there is no law enforcement practice,
[00:10:51] simply because this law has not yet come into force.
[00:11:25] The severity of Russian laws is easily compensated by the non-observance of their
[00:11:28] execution,
[00:11:31] a characteristic example, and simply a clear and ready answer to your
[00:11:34] question, this is of course the unified register of those liable for military service, which
[00:11:38] they adopted for a minute, the law on the electronic register, I remind you,
[00:11:41] was adopted in 2023, we are now in 2026, it still does not
[00:11:45] work, justice,
[00:11:48] if you look at the statistics of all kinds of restrictions that it automatically
[00:11:52] introduces, such a big formidable one, from which
[00:12:03] departure from Russia is prohibited, which is indeed stopped in the border guard's
[00:12:07] booth, and he says: "Hey, no, brother, you're not going anywhere,"
[00:12:11] there are 20 people who successfully leave after receiving 500
[00:12:14] summonses, not to mention the fact that the most painful sanctions, I
[00:12:18] will emphasize this, in this case, are not, they are not
[00:12:22] a travel ban, they are a ban on issuing loans, on... real estate
[00:12:25] transactions, on buying and selling cars, on
[00:12:28] opening individual entrepreneurs, and so on and so forth, this will hit
[00:12:31] very hard, well, we have no cases
[00:12:35] in all the time this register has existed, more than a year now,
[00:12:39] and it is working at full capacity,
[00:12:42] it doesn't even seem to be in test mode, well,
[00:12:46] zero cases of bans on issuing loans, if you tell me now
[00:12:49] that it just so happened that none of those who received summonses took
[00:12:53] out loans during this time, I... I will laugh heartily, because
[00:12:57] this simply cannot be, someone received a summons,
[00:13:00] what should he do to avoid conscription,
[00:13:03] first, he needs, well, the first main question,
[00:13:07] who is he, why did he receive this summons, if it is
[00:13:10] a young man of conscription age, suppose, a boy,
[00:13:14] who just passed that cursed USE this
[00:13:18] summer, finished talking about important things and came out into the
[00:13:22] wild, as they say, hooray, eleventh grade is over. and
[00:13:25] 11 years of torment too, if he now receives a summons for
[00:13:29] a medical commission for a conscription commission, this is one
[00:13:33] story, if it is a person 29 years old, who has never served in the
[00:13:36] army, who, let's say, has a category V fitness, he
[00:13:40] suddenly receives it, and what does this category mean, well, this is
[00:13:44] a fitness category that I have, for example, the most
[00:13:47] common one, those who dodge the army due to health reasons,
[00:13:51] for example, I don't know, flat feet, everything else, this is category V fitness.
[00:13:55] So, with this fitness category and a military ID at home on the nightstand,
[00:13:58] which he has already forgotten about, he suddenly receives a summons in public services, in this
[00:14:02] summons it says: please, appear for
[00:14:05] clarification of data, this is the most common scheme in
[00:14:08] fact, the calculation is that the person will come out of
[00:14:12] stupidity to clarify his data, yes, I am
[00:14:14] Ivanov, hello, I am Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich, here is my passport,
[00:14:18] here is a certificate, here is that, here, accordingly, yes, I did not change my name,
[00:14:21] I did not change my gender, everything is fine with me, eh? And
[00:14:25] here, in fact, they may not let him go further, they
[00:14:28] may lock him up further, they may put pressure on him further, they
[00:14:32] may threaten him, offer him, promise him,
[00:14:36] scare him again, promise him again, and so on until
[00:14:39] he signs a contract, accordingly, the task is for the person
[00:14:43] to go to the military enlistment office, and the first thing not to do is not to go there
[00:14:47] thoughtlessly, if you are called to
[00:14:49] a medical commission,
[00:14:52] uh, well, for example, you can, for a start,
[00:15:25] still under the name alternative
[00:15:28] civilian service, please fill out this application for ACS, in any
[00:15:31] case, this is the basic one in three copies, send it
[00:15:35] not in advance,
[00:15:38] well, you can proactively, you can when the summons comes, in any case, if you know
[00:15:42] that this will happen, please keep this in mind,
[00:15:45] have this sample in front of your eyes, preferably already
[00:15:49] filled out with all your data, in three
[00:15:52] copies, in three envelopes, with
[00:15:55] receipts from the post office, that the letters
[00:15:58] have been sent, send them to the correct
[00:16:00] addresses,
[00:16:02] and walk around, all the time that your application for ACS is being
[00:16:05] considered, you are
[00:16:08] unavailable, they cannot touch you, uh-huh, if it's for data clarification, here the solution
[00:16:12] is even simpler,
[00:16:14] take your mother, grandmother, girlfriend, grandmother is a very good candidate, in this case
[00:16:18] we always say, because grandmother is an experienced person, she knows
[00:16:22] how to deal with bureaucracy, bureaucracy,
[00:16:25] yes, and grandmother there will be scared, because she knows that grandmother,
[00:16:29] if anything, can hit with her cane, that you come with your grandmother, no, please, do not come
[00:16:32] anywhere with your grandmother, let your grandmother go alone herself, with all
[00:16:36] your documents, with a power of attorney that you wrote in her
[00:16:39] name at the nearest notary: let grandmother
[00:16:43] carry the paper, papers, this folder of all
[00:16:46] your documents, whatever you have, including a birth
[00:16:50] certificate, certificates of exemption from physical education
[00:16:53] and school, just bring everything there, let them clarify it,
[00:16:56] then there will be such a result, someone comes and says: you know, we
[00:17:00] looked, this passport looks very suspicious, Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov himself
[00:17:04] must come, well, then...
[00:18:06] What to do to avoid breaking down, can something be done? Here the explanation is super simple,
[00:18:09] have contact with loved ones, loved ones have contact
[00:18:13] with human rights activists, that's it, and the
[00:18:16] faster your mother, girlfriend, grandmother, again
[00:18:20] the same one, all hope is on her, runs to the police
[00:18:23] and says, what the hell are you holding my son, husband, friend, brother,
[00:18:27] grandson here, quickly let him go
[00:18:30] back, otherwise I'll write, I don't know to whom, I'll be
[00:18:34] calling,
[00:19:07] there are such, well, virtually mechanisms
[00:19:11] of resistance
[00:19:12] to this,
[00:19:16] and they, the set, so to speak, mobilization, whatever
[00:19:19] you want, the conscription into the army, it all
[00:19:23] continues, so, this is due to the fact that people are simply
[00:19:26] not informed about what can be done, no, this is due to the fact that people are not
[00:19:29] free,
[00:19:32] the explanation is very simple and one,
[00:19:35] for 4 years I... personally and we
[00:19:38] were convinced that this
[00:19:41] mobilization, long,
[00:19:44] four-year, is based precisely on unfreedom, on the fact
[00:19:48] that rights and freedoms are not violated, they are
[00:19:50] taken away, they were cut off,
[00:19:54] simply, torn away and deprived people of them, and this
[00:19:58] applies to everyone, but you cannot call, excuse me, free
[00:20:02] will the signing of a contract in a strict
[00:20:05] regime colony, they tell you, do you want to die in prison or in
[00:20:08] war? Good question,
[00:20:12] interesting, I don't think anyone
[00:20:15] will ever be able to answer it clearly.
[00:20:18] exactly the same in the pre-trial detention center,
[00:20:21] when the investigator comes to you and says: I either
[00:20:25] let you go, but to war, or you continue to rot
[00:20:28] here, under Article 228, for which
[00:20:32] you generally, this is a very convenient article, because under
[00:20:36] it they can give as much as...
[00:20:51] somewhere, let's say, probably, twenty-third year, that period,
[00:20:54] when,
[00:20:59] probably the influx of people to the front was more
[00:21:02] stable,
[00:21:05] let's put it this way, maybe I'm wrong, then correct me,
[00:21:08] I'll just remind you from where, from colonies,
[00:21:12] that's the question, very, yes, this is related to the colony or to
[00:21:15] people, well, let's say, half of 2023, Prigozhin
[00:21:19] was recruiting.
[00:21:29] From the point of view of the Kremlin's interests, this driving people to war, did he
[00:21:33] gather more, did he manage to
[00:21:35] extract more,
[00:21:39] than simple, he was not, apparently, he was not so
[00:21:42] massive, I can
[00:21:45] give one curious, very characteristic example,
[00:21:48] so we had... a person who was dragged into a contract for a long time,
[00:21:52] first by a PMC, then by the Ministry of Defense, in the
[00:21:56] end the Ministry of Defense still dragged him in, and it
[00:21:59] so happened that he ended up exactly in that
[00:22:02] litter, if I may say so, to which Prigozhin
[00:22:06] beautifully flew under the camera,
[00:22:09] uh
[00:22:12] for that, well, this video, actually, this was the only case, it was
[00:22:15] absolutely an advertising campaign, nothing more, it was
[00:22:18] an advertisement for a person.
[00:22:50] they quickly removed him, because they were afraid that he might blurt out to
[00:22:53] a lawyer how it all really looked, and he was
[00:22:56] quickly, quickly, quickly transferred to another colony, to a neighboring one, and then returned
[00:23:00] back, and this person told it, simply because they were in the same squad,
[00:23:04] actually communicated quite closely and were even friends,
[00:23:07] as far as I understand, they still communicate successfully, well, that
[00:23:11] is, in the case of Prigozhin, this was not about
[00:23:14] effectiveness, it was a pure show, by the way, this person, how did he
[00:23:18] survive, who was drafted?
[00:23:21] on, well, absolutely the same, in fact, here the scheme in the case
[00:23:25] of those who sign
[00:23:28] contracts in prisons or in,
[00:23:32] by the way, migrants follow approximately the same track, that is, citizens
[00:23:35] of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Republics of
[00:23:39] Central Asia, Pakistan, Ethiopia, and so
[00:23:42] on. Well, he simply ended up
[00:23:46] immediately in storms, in a meat storm.
[00:23:50] He stayed, accordingly, in the combat zone for 3
[00:23:54] hours, got his injury,
[00:23:57] since it was 2023, he was rolled back to zero with this injury
[00:24:01] and then sent to the hospital, then in 2024 this
[00:24:04] loophole was closed, only for a bribe could one already go
[00:24:08] for treatment, at that time it was still possible to get some treatment in Russia,
[00:24:11] then he simply ran away from the hospital,
[00:24:14] and where is he now,
[00:24:17] now he is, if my memory serves me correctly, still in Armenia,
[00:24:21] is it dangerous to be in
[00:24:23] border countries? In Armenia, for example, yes, it
[00:24:27] depends very much, the situation is constantly changing, for a while
[00:24:31] Kazakhstan was a safe country, now it is
[00:24:34] an unsafe country, because it extradites, before they used to detain
[00:24:37] for show and
[00:24:40] held for some time in holding cells Russians,
[00:24:43] deserters, and then released them and chose
[00:24:47] some strange form of punishment
[00:24:50] called something like public supervision, something
