K Palace were ordered. All parts of Russia were busy with conscription work, and those who were unwilling to enlist in the army fled abroad, setting off a wave of immigration. What makes the ruling people even more troubled is that this immigration wave is impacting Russian government agencies, causing a large number of male civil servants to run away.
Recently, the Russian Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Digital Development, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and other agencies have all fallen into the dilemma of "outflow" of civil servants. Among these key units, the Moscow mayor’s office faces the most severe problems, with departments losing 30% of male civil servants within a month. The people who ran away either resigned directly or never came back after submitting their leave application, and they were too lazy to take away personal belongings from the workstation.
Russian housing, public services, health care related institutions, and even the Russian Football Association have also been affected similarly. Some institutions have difficulty operating due to IT personnel running away, and other civil servants have poor professions and cannot operate the system, which has led to a deadlock in overall work. Some civil servants from the Russian Football Association were originally on a business trip in Kyrgyzstan. In order to evade military service, they did not return to Moscow as planned, but instead flew to Uzbekistan for their position to avoid the limelight.
There were previously rumors that after the Russian military issued a partial mobilization order, as many as 700,000 citizens fled abroad. Peskov, the press secretary of Putin, , , does not admit this data. He feels that the number of fugitives is not that large, but he does not give specific data. According to information from all parties, there should be many people who actually ran away.
Among these people, in addition to Russian civil servants, there are many young people from other industries. They are unwilling to go to the battlefield, and even if they risk being sanctioned by Russian law, they still have to run out. Recently, their "fancy escape" method has caused a sensation.
The most famous of them are two men who row a boat across Bering Strait . They rowed all the way to the Alaska area of the United States on a boat. After landing on the island, they were taken away by local police and became popular in major foreign news websites. After this method of escaping across the sea was successful, someone immediately followed suit. The group of people smuggled to South Korea by yacht, but was rejected by customs and then changed their route to Thailand.
Of course, for Russian youth who do not want to serve in the military, not everyone has the conditions and opportunities to escape abroad. Those who cannot escape can only find another way, such as hiding it. Recently, a man named Kalinin had a sudden idea and brought his own equipment to survive in the wild and plunged into the deep mountains and forests. In order to delay until the end of mobilization time, he even planned to spend the winter in the forest.
This series of events reflects that the Russian people have great differences in their views on special military operations. Some people tend to be "hawkish" and actively support the war against Ukraine, but many people are also resistant to war and mobilization orders. Under the shadow of the war, a large number of Russian people are feeling anxious.
Social survey shows that before and after the issuance of some mobilization orders, the psychological changes of the Russian people have changed a lot, and more and more people are falling into negative emotions. In July, only 17% of people felt "tough and irritable". By September, this figure rose to 32%, doubled. People who feel "fear and trouble" have increased from 4% to 15%, and has increased by even more.
What’s worse is that more and more Russian people are beginning to feel depressed. Survey data shows that in the first nine months of this year, Russian consumers spent 5 billion rubles on purchasing antidepressants, an increase of 70% from last year. Due to strong demand, imports of antidepressants increased by 42% and domestic production increased by 24%.
In addition to antidepressants, Russian consumers also have increased demand for sedatives, with demand increasing by 44% compared with the same period last year. In just nine months, they spent 13.9 billion rubles on sedatives. These data reflect to a certain extent that special military operations and conscription operations are aggravating the psychological pressure of the Russian people. In the long run, it will be detrimental to the physical and mental health of the people and the harmony and stability of society.
This war has continued to this day and has brought too many negative impacts to Russia. It can be said that the more you fight, the more you lose, and Moscow also hopes that the war will end as soon as possible. However, the Ukrainian army is increasing its efforts to counterattack, and the Russian army has turned offensive to defend, and it has little advantage on the front line, so it is difficult to end the war quickly with force. If you want to make a ceasefire later, you will most likely have to rely on the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations.
