This is all nice and dramatic, but I actually live in Russia, my father is a retired officer and I call on your bullshit. Your numbers are all messed up and incorrect (24 months, when it is actually 12, 60 y.o, when the upper limit is 50, 60 is only for generals) The article you've linked is about Ukrainian separatists, not Russian Armed Forces. The linked video doesn't give any clues to what is happening and where, so I can only take your word for it (which I won't) And I actually had to google if Pravda is still a thing, surprised that it is still published in some form - it is really obscure. Frankly the rhetorics like "I have no idea how the specifics work and given that the name of some old-ass newspaper is "Pravda" anything could happen!" isn't really solid.

Its only 12m since 2006. If you were born in 1980 like the poor soul linked above you served 24 months. The article I linked about LPR/DPR showed how it was supposed to look like, vk link shows how reality looks like on the ground - Z painted busses with mercenaries roam the streets and kidnap people. Comments under the that clip are from wife of a brand new soldier. I give it a 1-2 months for same thing to start occurring in ru proper. The reality is nobody knows what is happening other than putin. His whims are being realized ad hoc with no one sane at the wheel. Everyone is lying about everything. Two days ago russia was being invaded by NATO, Yesterday NATO weapons were all of a sudden formidable, 3 months ago russia was about to nuke Britain with supersonic ballistic missiles, Snake Island was a good will gesture retreat and the crashed ru heli with corpses were totally Ukrainina commando, Kherson was regrouping, and we have no plans for mobilization https://twitter.com/tassagency_en/status/1569646984918614016 https://twitter.com/tassagency_en/status/1569646984918614016

  > Its only 12m since 2006. If you were born in 1980 like the poor soul linked above you served 24 months. 2006 was almost two decades ago. And it doesn't matter when you when one was born (at least not directly). "Since 2006" means no one served 2 years since 2006. Not "only those born after 2006". > vk link shows how reality looks like on the ground - Z painted busses with mercenaries roam the streets and kidnap people. Comments under the that clip are from wife of a brand new soldier. You've linked social media, dude... Like, the most unverifiable source of info, where you can engineer and distribute any piece of information and anyone can write anything posing as anyone. Really? Especially when there are tons of similar "evidence" from the Ukrainian side and both seem to be engaged in "no, its you who actually has the thing I am accused of".

    So you said recruitment would be nothing like in DPR. Here you go Siberia: https://twitter.com/valya_de/status/1572879890277625858 https://twitter.com/valya_de/status/1572879890277625858 kidnapped from homes in the morning.

Lets assume you were born in 1980. Its 1998, you just celebrated 18 birthday and found military service notice in the mail. How long would you serve? As for the link, vk is ru social media. Those girls lying in front of Z bus are 'just catching some Zs' (pun intended) https://twitter.com/666_mancer/status/1571607567083917313/photo/1 https://twitter.com/666_mancer/status/1571607567083917313/ph... https://twitter.com/666_mancer/status/1571607567083917313 https://twitter.com/666_mancer/status/1571607567083917313
