On March 31, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree ordering the conscription of 134,500 new draftees. The Russian Defense Ministry said that these conscripts would not be travelling to fight in Ukraine. The draft will run between April 1 to July 15, and will affect men between the ages of 18 and 27. On Telegram, on March 29, an ultranationalist Russian channel had published a post arguing that the Russian military command in the war with Ukraine is incompetent and advocating the boycott of a possible mobilization in Russia.

Incompetence Of Russian Military Command
The author of the post begins by scoffing at General Vladimir Shamanov, chairman of the defense committee of the State Duma, who was unable to catch criminals who had tortured captive Russian soldiers. Videos of such torture had been published online. The writer states that Shamanov and the rest of the Russian General Staff are incompetent.
Stating that there are no ethnic Russians among the Russian command, the author writes: "Half of them [of the General Staff] are dumb khokhols [a racial slur for Ukrainians] like Lebedy or Rudsky with the snouts of warrant officers, while the other half are papooses of the Volga region, like the same Shamanov, Gerasimov, or Mordvichov, who has a face of a drunken Mordovian lumberjack. That's not counting fat Ukrainian kikes like Rutskoi, Rokhlin, or Pulikovsky, or the who-knows-his-ethnicity general Poplavsky, or Jacob Rezantsev, who looks a lot like a redheaded Polish Jew." The writer writes, "Just a menagerie. [Like the TV show] 'In the World of Animals.' There is not a single normal Russian face among them."
Calls For Boycott Of Possible Russian Military Mobilization
The author continues by arguing that not only are there no Russians in power in the Kremlin, but that the country's authorities are traitors. This became evident after "traitorous 'negotiations' in Istanbul." "It is clear that the central topic of all these negotiations is the interests of the kikish Kagan. It is their Purim war. It is their profit, made on our Russian blood," concludes the author. "Medinsky should be hanging from Abramovich's guts. And let's not forget our esteemed Ukrainian partners. Bastards," writes the author. Both Medinsky and Abramovich have participated in the Russia-Ukraine talks.
In conclusion, the author calls for a boycott of a possible mobilization in Russia: "No volunteers! Boycott the mobilization! Let them send their bastards to the front to die! In any case we are on the side of the Russian soldier and wish him to return home alive, healthy, and with victory! The Russian revolution is inevitable."
