Intellectuals from Russia’s Central Regions Falling under Putin’s Mobilisation

As a result of Russian aggression against Ukraine, the leadership of the aggressor state has already significantly reduced the number of representatives of its small nations. Among the occupiers killed, slightly less than 40% were representatives of non-Slavic ethnic groups, the Chief Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine informs.

The Republics of Dagestan and Buryatia, Krasnodar Krai, Bashkortostan and Volgograd Region are the five regions with the largest number of servicemen killed. The figures also show a disproportionate ratio: the number of fallen soldiers from poor regions (where ethnic communities live) is much higher than that from developed ones.

According to the estimates of Ukraine’s military intelligence, after the president of the occupying power signed the mobilisation decree, the mortality map in the regions will change significantly. Summonses are sent to thousands of representatives of the intellectual circles and private business from central regions of Russia and giant industrial enterprises. If the working professions are still provided with draft postponements, then the Russian intellectuals will become fertiliser for the Ukrainian black earth.

By finally destroying citizens who can perceive the collapse of Russian statehood, the Kremlin dictator hopes to get rid of protests against the war and the senseless death of hundreds of thousands of Russians.
