Watching that is grim. Have they got any idea of what they're doing?Probably not. I would presume many of these draftees are village men with little to no connection to the outside world and very little critical thinking as to why they get drafted.
If all your news tell you fellow countrymen are being killed by nazis and your nation is under attack, i guess they feel it's their duty. Russians have a peculiar mentality. -
Buryatia has had more deaths in the war than any other region, I would imagine word has spread of deaths and poor leadership there.
I bet they don’t get a Lada though that’s probably just for those from Moscow.

More footage emerge on mobilisation. Waves, hugs, friendly pats on the shoulder and tears of course. https://twitter.com/PjotrSauer/status/1572863899934019585
And the video is from Yakutia, of course - 8000 kilometers from Ukraine.
I kind of understand why russians don't protest - they simply will get their shit beat up and probably spend some time in police station but simply agreeing with it and letting your loved ones go to a war? This is insane.
And yesterdays protests? They simply stand and watch how police beat them one by one.
