Wives of Russian conscripts send a message to the “direct line” with Vladimir Putin, which will take place on December 14. Women write about the problems of their men who are at the front with Ukraine. In particular, they complain about the lack of mobilized leave and the complex procedure for payments for injuries . Russian oppositionist and political scientist Abbas Gallyamov told Channel 24, that Putin is guaranteed to use such appeals, but for his own purposes. According to the assumption of a Russian political scientist, the head of the Kremlin can take the side of the mobilized women: agree with the problem and order the Russian Ministry of Defense to prepare a rotation schedule – some military personnel go on vacation, and contract soldiers go to the front. This will reassure those who are afraid of a new wave of mobilization, and they are very afraid of it. That is, look, those mobilized are replaced by contract soldiers, then why a second wave of mobilization. In this mode, you can hold out until April, and after the elections a new wave can be announced,” the Russian oppositionist emphasized. ~ Then the Russian presidential elections will begin. The likely decision to release the mobilized will be highlighted as the immense kindness of Vladimir Putin. Russian propaganda will begin to spin “joyful” stories about how Russian “veterans”, hung with medals, will come home and how their wives will cheerfully greet them. There will be a spreading “cranberry” of emotions that people are waiting for. It’s like “everything is close, we’ll win soon.” This is in his electoral interests. Therefore, I do not rule out that they will do this,” Gallyamov emphasized.How Putin uses the appeal of mobilized wives

However, according to Gallyamov, the generals will not want to release soldiers who at least somewhat know how to hold a weapon in their hands and have basic combat skills. Since newly arrived military personnel need to be taught everything again, and Russians do not like to strain themselves.
Now there are contradictions between those responsible for the elections, led by Sergei Kiriyenko, and the military leadership of Russia.
The former believe that it is necessary to let the soldier rest before the elections and teach new ones. At the same time, the latter say that Russian soldiers should continue to work and cancel the Russian presidential elections altogether if Vladimir Putin cannot win without such a condition.
It is impossible to guess how this dispute will end. However, since this is politically beneficial for Putin, he may make concessions to his wives. But the wives also need to pick up the pace over the next few days. It is necessary to demonstrate that they will not stop, because if the Kremlin feels that the pressure is weakening, then this topic will be ignored,” concluded Abbas Gallyamov.
