The number of dead Buryats in Ukraine Russia than the average for approx 10 times, and 468 times higher than Moscow
Mobilization in Buryatia is called one of the most difficult by observers due to its massive scale and numerous violations.
Residents talk about summonses being brought to the disabled, fathers of many children, as well as those who have never served due to their health, and even those who have died.
The head of Buryatia, Aleksey Tsydenov, admitted that there were such violations, but said that all those who were summoned “by mistake” were returned to their homes. He said that there are about 70 such people.
But the relatives and friends of those mobilized deny these words and claim that those people were neither from the collection point nor from where they were assigned. military they never came back from the part.
– In Ulan-Ude, around 7-8 in the morning, they knocked on our bride’s door with a summons in the name of my deceased brother. He told the police that his wife died two years ago. They apologized and left. Natalya Semenova, who works in the field of printing in Ulan-Ude, says that this is not the only case in Buryatia.
A girl named Alena Kharlamova writes that they came for her uncle who died two years ago.
Rights defenders Russia state that there is no concept of “partial mobilization” in the legislation. This theoretically means that everyone should be drafted into the army. As a result, most of the conscripts leave Russia in a hurry without hope of justice – in most cases they flee from Buryatia to neighboring Mongolia. It is even said that there is already a long traffic jam at the border.
Residents who have been mobilized leave their families and workplaces and simply flee to the taiga forests. Some of the men do not have passports, they cannot cross the border, people just go to the forest and hide.
Addressing “Sibir.Realii”, several residents of Buryatia said that their relatives who had not served due to health issues were also issued summonses.
– My father is 45 years old, he has never served, he is not fit for service. The doorbell rang yesterday. They insisted that he sign. “My father made a sign of the cross,” says Alena (name changed) from Ulan-Ude. Saying that she will appeal to the court, Alena emphasizes that the current lawyer does not guarantee it.
One of the residents of Kurumkanski district, who did not want to be named, said that his acquaintances received a summons, and despite being unfit for service, they did not even allow him to go home or collect his small belongings. He managed to call and say that he was taken to Transbaikalia, to a training camp.
“Free Viktoriya Maladayeva, co-founder of Buryatiya” anti-war fund according to him, summonses were issued to 5 thousand people on September 21 despite 4 thousand mobilization plans.
– More than 5,000 people were mobilized on the night of September 21, and now this number has doubled. Town chiefs and police generally issue summonses to 54, 56, 58-year-old men who have not completed their service and have no combat experience. We are contacted by families who issue a summons to all men in the family – son-in-law, husband, son and father. This is simply unimaginable horror in Buryatia, on St. Bartholomew’s night, no one slept. Getting people out of bed all night, knocking on the door in the middle of the night..
