Not 300 thousand: in Russia the true number of mobilized was deducted due to marriage
This is stated in the study of the opposition Russian edition of "Mediazon". All thanks to the number of urgent marriages of men who received the summons. In October 2022, thanks to a certain scheme, journalists began to estimate the number of urgent weddings mobilized, which allowed mobilized citizens of the Russian Federation to marry one day, without mandatory monthly expectations.
In the first weeks of mobilization, the Russian offices of the Register not only did not hide the sudden influx of men with a summons, but also boasted it. The media appeared in the media about group weddings, and when at the end of October, the Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu announced that the mobilization was completed, the stream of press releases about the wedding stopped.
"Data for the past 2022 show: after the official end of the mobilization of weddings has diminished, but some men with summons come to the registry still. This is not a testimony to a new wave of mobilization - men marry at the place of service or return home for release. New summits allowed to clarify Evaluation of the number called throughout Russia during the active period of mobilization in September and October: more than 527 thousand people, " - explained on the pages of the publication.
The reason for the haste with the official registration of relations - families of Russian mobilized will be able to receive payments in the event of his death at the front in Ukraine. Starting from data from 50 regions of the Russian Federation, where marriage was made 25,000 mobilized men, the publication calculated the probable number of those who received the summons. "It turns out that 1. 42% of mobilized men married there.
And in terms of the entire male population of these regions aged 18-49, it turns out that more than 239,000 people were mobilized during the active mobilization (by early November). These 50 regions make up only 56% of men mobilization. If you add information about urgent weddings at the end of October in the remaining 35 regions, the total share of mobilization in the country will increase to 1. 79%.
Such a share of mobilization implies that more than 525 thousand people (527 703 ) were mobilized to the army in September-October, "the study said. The autumn counter -offensive of the Armed Forces "shocked" Putin and became a reason to announce "partial mobilization" at the end of last year. This is stated in the construction of the Institute of War Study on February 26. Putin announced a partial mobilization some time after Ukraine's counter -offensive on September 21.
