Mass protests, riots across Russia and the overthrow of the government? No, the Russians googled ways to break their arm.
Despite the hope that the Russians, if they do not rebel against a full-scale attack on Ukraine, then after the announcement of mobilization they will certainly take to the streets to protest, raise chaos and overthrow the Putin’s regime, nothing like it. happening Russian citizens are buying tickets to countries that still have a visa-free regime, signing a petition to cancel the mobilization, which by all indications will be complete, not partial, and looking for ways to avoid conscription. Correspondent.net telling the details.
Looking for tickets, sign the petition
Social networks report that a wave of subpoenas has already passed through Moscow and St. Petersburg, which was considered untouchable was sent to the front. But the Russians are still hoping for weak resistance to their murderous regime and are collecting signatures for a petition against the mobilization, circulating it in the media.
“We, the people of Russia, women and men, oppose the general and partial mobilization. President Vladimir Putin does not have and cannot have legal grounds, weighty and rational reasons for announcing it. In current situation of uncertainty, we are not ready to expose either the moral or the moral or the physical danger of the men of our country – brothers, sons, husbands, fathers and grandfathers,” the petition stated.
It was launched on Change.org in April 2022 amid rumors of possible Russian mobilization. After these reports could not be confirmed, the authors decided to extend the collection of signatures for the entire period of the “special military operation.” By May, 50,000 people had signed the petition. At the time of publication of the material, the petition was signed by more than 200 thousand people.
The associates of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, meanwhile, urged Russians to take to the streets. And they declared that they support any kind of protest, including the burning of military registration and enlistment offices.
“I can absolutely say that our team will support any form of protest before that. If you run away from the draft, that’s good, we support, we are ready to provide informational, legal assistance. If you go to protests, we support it , we are ready to provide help in coordination, which is necessary. If you are ready to do big things, including burning the registration office and military enlistment, we support it and we are also ready to give some help,” said the opposition leader that Ivan Zhdanov. .
Navalny himself, who is in a strict regime colony, commented on the mobilization. When he learned of the mobilization, he was only participating in a court hearing on his claims to the colony.
“I don’t understand one thing. The army is a million people, the National Guard is 350 thousand people, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is one and a half to two million, there are so many people in the Federal Penitentiary Service. Why would they call civilians? That means, five million evaders will run back and forth across the country “And a million police will chase them to act somewhere. The criminal war that is going on, it is getting worse, getting deeper, and Putin is trying to involve as many people as possible in all of this. He wants to anoint hundreds of thousands of people with this blood,” he said.
The Vesna movement also announced an all-Russian protest against the mobilization. Activists proposed to gather at 19:00 on September 21 in the centers of their cities.
The Support Service project has launched a bot that advises mobilization: first of all, those who do not want to go to war.
However, Russians buy plane tickets. In the first two hours after Putin’s speech, tickets for the coming days in Istanbul, Yerevan, Minsk, Tashkent, Baku and other capitals of “friendly” countries were sold out, Russian media wrote. However, there was a possibility that the men could not leave without permission from the military commissar. Read more about mobilization in Russia in the article What changes it.
Meanwhile, Roskomnadzor warned that media and information sources should only use official state sources when preparing publications on mobilization in Russia. In the event of spreading “false information”, an immediate blockade will follow, and the Moscow prosecutor’s office – 15 years in prison for protests.
Markets are going down
The Russian markets responded to the introduction of partial mobilization in Russia with a sharp fall. They fell for the second day in a row – the last time this happened was in February, after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The Moscow Exchange Index, which tracks the value of the 43 largest companies, fell nearly ten percent. It is traded at these levels for the first time since February 24. Gazprom shares at the beginning of trading fell by 13 percent, Sberbank – 11.2, Rosneft – 12.9, Norilsk Nickel – 7.6, Aeroflot – 8.3. The leaders of the rollback are also shares of Yandex, Surgutneftegaz, NOVATEK and Gazprom Neft – minus ten percent.
Having lost a trillion rubles of capitalization the day before, the ruble indicator of the Russian stock market “deflated” by the same amount on Wednesday, and its accumulated losses for two trading days reached almost 20 percent.
Even the ruble, which until then stubbornly held, despite expectations of mobilization, began to decline. The dollar exchange rate in the morning increased by 1.4 rubles to 62 rubles per dollar, while the euro rose by almost 80 kopecks to 61.4 rubles. However, analysts doubt that any official ruble exchange rate can be trusted.
“The depression in the Russian market will probably last not five minutes or even five days. Most likely, it will be more long-term,” said HSE Professor Evgeny Kogan.
What do Russians post on social media?
The publication Layout studied the reaction of participants in public public border regions of Belgorod, Kursk and Bryansk regions of the Russian Federation. Commenting on the news about the mobilization, social media users wrote that they were not ready to send relatives to war and offered to mobilize, first of all, war supporters and officials.

Not “mobilization”, but implementation, all-call, engagement, movement, ass.

Do you remember how many people were with it “what are you, a revolution is always bad, it is always blood”, “when Navalny comes to power, there will be a civil war, blood”?

🔹 From now on, those who are in the reserve and have “important for the army” specialties will be called to war – we are talking about missilemen, artillerymen, tankers and signalmen. This is probably not an exhaustive list.

What you need to know for men who stayed in the Russian Federation (thread):
1. You are the smallest unit in the army. In the conditions of a big war, you leave the field with only 200 or 300. You will not be freed, rotated, etc. – like today DNR/LNR mobikov. Death or disability awaits you.

Putin’s order on mobilization does not contain any signs and references to any “partial mobilization”. From a legal point of view, this is a complete mobilization, and all the stories about “discrimination” are only intended to temporarily reassure the population.

Here, many have asked how my neighbor reacted to the summons from the draft board. He packed his things and went to the village with his parents, apparently he didn’t want to die a hero for Putin in the steppes of Ukraine..😁

I read on some Z-channel that everyone who comes out to protest today should be deported.
