| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] About 400 people returned home, who were mistakenly called up as part of partial mobilization in Crimea, Viktor Fesenko , head of the service for mobilization work and territorial defense of the republic, said on Crimea 24 on September 26.
On the first day, about 300 people were released from conscription as part of partial mobilization, on the second day - 12. "That is, about 400 people were released from conscription for mobilization. Already on the ground - after their call," said Fesenko. | |

| #3 What I find interesting about the protests and mobilization screw-ups is not that they are happening, but that they are being openly reported on in Russian media. Seems a bit different from the Soviet days. |

| #2 In other words, it seems to be disproportionately hitting the Far East It may not be wise to include folks in an unpopular callup that might have sympathy (or ties) to the population you're trying to repress. Romans did the same thing with their legionnaires. The soldiers posted to a particular area of the empire were generally drawn from a far away province for the same reason. |

| #1 Putin's mobilisation looks asymmetrical: 1. Partial mobilisation in large cities, especially soft in Moscow & Petersburg 2. Total mobilisation in remote rural regions, especially ethnic ones We don't have hard data yet, this mobilisation may include elements of ethnic cleansing Anecdotal evidence which yet needs to be confirmed suggests that the list of regions subject to total mobilisation may include Buryatiya, Sahalin, Magadan, etc. In other words, it seems to be disproportionately hitting the Far East |
