Thank you very much for your question.
For a very long time, Vladimir Putin avoided declaring mobilization because he knew that this would be a very unpopular measure. For a very long time, he wanted the majority of the Russian population to not be affected by war and for it to be somewhere “out there”.
The majority of the soldiers had been drafted from Russia's poorest regions, the ethnic minority regions where people live below the poverty line. Many of them were signing the contracts because they considered it to be their way out of poverty. That does not excuse it, but it's just to demonstrate how the regime has been exploiting ethnic minorities in Russia and how it has been using these people to fuel the war.
Now, after the declaration of the mobilization.... This is not a partial mobilization. The law itself on mobilization does not have the word “partial” anywhere in it. This means that Vladimir Putin will be drafting as many soldiers as he needs to buy time to get to the winter, to wear you out, to wear out the global democratic west, to wear Ukrainians out and to cover the front line with corpses of Russian soldiers.
Now that this mobilization is affecting the majority of the Russian territory, I do believe that we will be seeing some changes. I mean, the changes that have already been happening suggest that. In the absence of free media, free elections, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and all basic fundamental freedoms, people do not have any ways to express their frustration anymore. Very often, they're switching to partisan movements.
