The host of the Popular Politics program, created by supporters of Alexei Navalny, Dmitry Nizovtsev got through on the air to the son of the press secretary of Russian President Dmitry Peskov, Nikolai.
Under the guise of a military commissar, Nizovtsev announced that the summons had been sent and offered to appear for a medical examination the next day at 10 am.
“You must understand, if you know that I am Mr. Peskov, how much it is not entirely correct for me to be there. In short, I will solve this at a different level, ”Peskov’s son answered.
During the conversation, he stated that he was not going to come to the military registration and enlistment office and did not give consent to be recorded as a volunteer.
“I need to understand in general what is happening and what rights I have. Tomorrow to pick me up – believe me, neither you nor I need it. I have no problem defending my homeland – but I need to understand the expediency of my appearance there, I am telling you about certain political nuances, ”Nikolai added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on September 21 announced a "partial mobilization". This decree is very vaguely worded: neither mobilization criteria nor quotas are specified, so anyone can be called up for service according to this decree, say experts interviewed by The Insider.
According to Putin, only those who are in the reserve and have already served in the army are subject to mobilization. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu named the figure: about 300,000 people. However, there is no such information in the document itself. Students, according to Shoigu, will not be touched. However, just three days ago, on September 19, United Russia offered to give students academic leave while they were sent to Ukraine.
