I read somewhere that biggest point in mobilization is that Ruzzia will be able to keep the soldiers already on the front there despite them wanting to leave. Also it affects only areas near Ukraine so they will not be sending people from big cities.

Russian press is reporting that the mobilisation decree does not contain anything specific about the numbers called up, or where they come from.
It's basically a full national mobilisation, but the press broadcast added the 300K and "partial" elements... that isn't what is in the piece of law just signed.
So whatever the mobilisation is, is yet to be seen in practise. In theory, it's a full mobilisation.

They've run out of troops on the front line, and cannot replenish them quickly enough from volunteers (or prisoners, etc).
All those on the reservists are basically being called up in a prioritised order, initially 300k are being called up. Total reservists is 2M.
The decree to do that is signed (attempting to leave Russia or not respond when called makes you a deserter).
"Partial" in that this is not a general conscription at this time, and only a portion of the total reserves.
