The General Staff of the Russian Federation said that the arson of military registration and enlistment offices would be regarded as terrorist attacks and punishable by imprisonment for up to 15 years. The statement of the deputy head of the organizational and mobilization department Vladimir Tsimlyansky is quoted by RBC. According to him, people set fire to military registration and enlistment offices “under the influence of negative emotions.”
“These actions are regarded as acts of terrorism or as public calls to carry out terrorist activities with criminal liability and punishment in the form of imprisonment for up to 15 years,” Tsimlyansky said.
After the start of mobilization in Russia, they began to burn military enlistment offices and administrative buildings with renewed vigor. Setting fire to military registration and enlistment offices throughout the country began immediately after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but after the announced mobilization, this phenomenon became widespread.
Recall that Vladimir Putin announced the mobilization on September 21. According to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, "about 300,000 reservists" will be mobilized. But agendas are handed out to just about anyone.
Curious cases of mobilization are ubiquitous. In the Chelyabinsk region, a student was mobilized with a whole range of diseases: pancreatitis, rhinitis, prostatitis, varicose veins and hemorrhoids. In Krasnodar, a summons to the military registration and enlistment office was handed to a wheelchair user with the first group of disabilities.
On September 29, human rights activist Pavel Chikov reported that HIV-positive Russians are being drafted into the army despite their diagnosis. At the same time, the website Explains.RF explicitly states that HIV-infected people are not subject to mobilization. The site is an official Internet resource for informing about the socio-economic situation in Russia.
