Russia is continuing to experience a wave of protests and civil unrest as its public come to terms with the implication of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “partial mobilization” that he announced last week.
that since Putin’s order came down, the Federal Security Service , which controls Russia’s border service, recorded 261,000 men exiting the country.
“In Buryatia, the campaign is called Bartholomew’s Night, after the 16th century Catholic massacre of Protestants in France,” said Paul Goble, a former State Department and CIA official who specializes in Russia’s ethnic and religious minorities.
Nevertheless, Goble thinks a better indicator of where mobilization is hitting hardest is economic rather than ethnic or religious. “Moscow is targeting places that are poorer because those people are more likely to see military service in a positive way, with the exception of those who’ve already seen people come home dead. And a lot of Buriyats have done just that already.”
Russians are also turning to more extreme forms of resistance as peaceful protests have been predictably ignored or repressed. In Ryazan, a city southeast of Moscow, a Russian man set himself on fire at a bus station while shouting slogans against the war, and his impending participation in it.Recruitment offices have been set on fire or attacked.
