After the announcement of partial mobilization in Russia, it turned out that many Russians supported the “special operation” only in words. But if ordinary citizens are not asked and handed subpoenas, then Peskov's son said that “he would decide at this other level.”
Despite the Kremlin's statements that mobilization will concern only 1% of the total mobilization resource, the Russians are in no hurry to be shocked in the military registration and enlistment offices. Moreover, there are also the usual calls to send the children of officials first.

In Russia, they believe that all its citizens have equal rights, but in practice these rights are “more equal” for some. So, on the air of RosSMI, the presenters decided to call Nikolai Peskov, the son of the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, by phone. They pretended to be representatives of the military registration and enlistment office and reported the agenda.
However, he refused the offer to appear for a medical examination the next day at 10 am.
You must understand if you know that I am the lord of the sands. It's not quite right for me to be there. In short, I will solve this on a different level,” the son of Putin’s press secretary replied defiantly.
During the conversation, he stated that he was not going to come to the military registration and enlistment office and did not give consent to be recorded as a volunteer. “Now, if Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin – ed. Channel 24) tells me that I need to go there, I will go there,” he summed up.

Protests against partial mobilization in Russia
When there were rumors that Putin might announce mobilization, Google Trends simply burst out with requests from Russians about how to leave the country or get a reprieve, as well as how to break their limbs painlessly. And immediately after Putin's speech, the Russians sold out all the tickets for direct flights from Moscow to Istanbul.
Moreover, only the prospect of going to war in Ukraine forced the Russians to start protesting. Thus, the nationwide action was initiated by the Vesna Movement and called on Russians to take to the squares of cities in every city. At the same time, he asked a rhetorical question, for what the Russians would die.
And if Peskov could take place only by a telephone conversation and the indignation of the pope, then ordinary citizens are detained and beaten by law enforcement officers for protests. The Moscow prosecutor's office generally threatens the participants of the protest action with imprisonment for 15 years.
