At the regional military commissariat on the street. Tyulenin, since the morning of Friday 23 September, people have been arriving who have received a summons in connection with a partial mobilization. The conscripts and their relatives shared their experiences with the Klops correspondent.

Kaliningrad Irina (name changed at the request of interlocutor “Klops”) hugs her son and says the summons came on September 22.

“I don’t know what the urgency is. Nobody has any information. They say they will undergo mafia training. As I understand it, in any case, they should have a military medical commission, some preparatory measures. My son did military service 6 years ago. What is the combat experience? It is not clear: someone is called, someone is not “, complains Irina.

Ekaterina (changed name), whose husband has also received a summons, cannot hold back her tears: “My husband is 44 years old, has long been only a conscript, now works as a driver.”

The woman admits she found the quote in the mailbox this morning, but has not yet informed her husband of the discovery. I came here to figure it out.

“We came from Kazakhstan three years ago. When the citizenship was changed, the spouse passed a medical examination, was registered. The military ticket says he’s partially eligible. The military commissariat on duty said he was fit, that the age group was normal, “Ekaterina says.

The 38-year-old reserve officer Alexei did not receive a summons, he asked if he was in mobilization.

“I did not serve, but I have four years in the naval department. If they call – let’s go, if they don’t call – we don’t go. Someone has to protect the country. It is better to let the older ones go. People are worried, this is understandable “, the interlocutor shrugs.

The man says he has no intention of hiding, but wants to obtain information for personal peace of mind: “I called the regional military registration and enlistment office, I called my university to find out if they were calling. You have to understand how to proceed. I came here, I’m waiting “.

Today, 46-year-old Oleg pulled a quote from the mailbox.

“I am a former Marine Corps soldier, airborne assault battalion, retired military. He served 26 years. I have two ulcers, I have had spine surgery. If I’m wearing a bulletproof vest, I can’t feel my legs for a couple of hours. I understand this is the Motherland, but I think healthy men should be taken, ”says Kaliningrader.

Two and a half years ago, Oleg wanted to extend his contract, but could not pass the military medical commission. Resigned.

“They call and say my combat experience is listed in my personal file. Once, in the year 2000, I was sent to guard the commander: this is all my combat experience. But in general, I’m ready, it would be healthy, “says the man.

Elena, 52, dreamed of becoming a volunteer, despite the absence of a military identity document and a military specialty: “But they said that women are not summoned. I’m ready, but they haven’t caught me yet. We must defend our country “.

Around noon, some of those who received the summons went to the meeting place. Irina accompanied her son to the bus.

“Probably, on the one hand, and it’s right that they don’t tell all the information. They said they were brought to unity, “the woman says goodbye.
