Five months into Russia's war on Ukraine, the Kremlin still hasn’t decreed a general mobilization to draft troops for its invasion, but there are growing reports that it is enticing and pressuring men of fighting age to join, as well as leaning on younger conscripts to sign contracts so they can deploy to the front.
In Bashkortostan -- a Russian republic located some 1,300 kilometers east of Moscow -- many parents of conscripts have launched appeals to the local military prosecutor's office over complaints that their sons were illegally detained at the conscription office and were told that they would be sent to Rostov, a Russian region that borders eastern Ukraine.
According to four different families who spoke to RFE/RL’s Tatar-Bashkir Service, conscription offices in the region have proceeded quickly and cut corners in the recruitment process and also taken the unexpected steps of sending the Bashkortostan conscripts to units in Rostov, instead of to areas nearer to home and away from the front lines, as had been previously stated.
The swift actions and break in protocol have left many parents fearing that their sons may be persuaded into signing on as contract soldiers and joining the Russian war in neighboring Ukraine.
“My son was taken into the army all of the sudden, not even allowing him to finish his law diploma,” Alla Papusova, the mother of Dmitry Malyshev, who was drafted in Russia’s current conscription cycle, told RFE/RL. “They said that on the morning of July 3 that he would be sent to the Rostov region, although initially they said that [the conscripts] would be sent to serve in the Chelyabinsk region,” in south-central Russia near the border with Kazakhstan.

Pressured?
If they are conscripts, they had no choice about joining.
Likewise, they will have no choice about where they are stationed.
Recruiters lie. Who knew?

“A big part of the answer came when Scott Ritter was arrested twice for attempting to set up meetings with two underage girls, one whom he believed was under 14, the other 16. First Ritter lied about being arrested and then claimed the whole thing was all a conspiracy against him...In the days of the Cold War, Soviet intelligence services were adept at exploiting drug use and sexual weaknesses in ranking foreign personnel to subvert and enlist them...While still married to his first wife, Ritter began an affair with 19 year old Marina Khatiashvili, his Russian supplied translator and escort. Under the USSR anyone working with foreigners, especially foreigners tied to foreign diplomatic or military service, without exception reported to the KGB.”

By law Russian conscripts and not allowed to be deployed outside of the country. Since the invasion of Ukraine has been classified as a "Special Military Operation" and not as a war, Russia has been forced to rely on contract soldiers, or professionals, who only make up a small part of the army.
When comparing the Ukrainian and Russian forces this is something that many do not take into account. Because of domestic politics Putin has been reluctant to declare this a war and call for a general mobilization. Ukraine, on the other hand, has had a general mobilization of all of its forces. Thus the Russians, by their own choice, are fighting this war with one hand tied behind their back and cannot rely on their overwhelming advantage in numbers.
