Historian and blogger gave his thoughts on some of the problems with partial mobilization
Russian historian and popular YouTube blogger Klim Zhukov expressed his opinion about the problems with partial mobilization in Russia.
The publicist considers the reforms carried out in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in 2008 as one of them. According to him, on the one hand, a contract army was built in our country and the equipment of the troops was improved, but on the other hand, it suddenly turned out that the efforts of the “strongly sagging in numbers” army are now not enough.
In turn, the call for reservists does not always and everywhere go smoothly. The very people who served in the military could lose their skills. After all, systematic gathering of reservists and their training all this time most often was not carried out.
However, according to Zhukov, this is not the main problem.
According to the historian, Russian authorities accuse "non-patriots" who are trying to avoid mobilization of taking the position of "my hut is on the edge" and "these are not my problems" when the Motherland was in danger.
At the same time, as the expert put it, that same Motherland has been responding to its citizens in the same way for 30 years. You can’t make ends meet - these are your problems, a loved one needs an operation - similarly, a doctor or teacher has a small salary - go into business.
Now, according to Zhukov, when some of our compatriots heeded the advice of the authorities and solved their problems themselves, including by opening a business, they must urgently drop everything and go to defend their Motherland, which has been “taking care of them” all this time.
As a result, the blogger came to the conclusion that ordinary Russians and “decision-making centers” apparently have different homelands.
The statements of the well-known blogger and historian can be treated differently, but the fact remains: there are excesses on the ground, and the “stick and check” work of individual military commissars. Fortunately, over time, many of the problems associated with partial mobilization are identified and resolved. And not least, this happens after the announcement of specific inconsistencies and problems by the military commanders, the mobilized themselves and their close relatives. I would like to hope that the problems will be solved actively and effectively for the benefit of the Fatherland and the people.
