Since the beginning of the “partial” mobilization, the Russian authorities reject reports of equipment for mobilized ones, despite the fact that even on a government resource, conscripts are advised to take the quadrocopter and night vision devices with them, and in some parts they are called up in advance to buy hygienic gaskets and swabs as dressings. The Insider found that the wives of mobilized Russians are discussed in Telegram chats, how much it costs to gather a husband for war, and complain about the lack of all the necessary equipment. However, some of them continue to write patriotic slogans from time to time, while others admit that they are scared.
Most of these chats are closed, messages in them can be seen only by entering the link. The Insider provides messages published in chats on mobilization by women from several Russian cities, as well as from the annexed Crimea.
A woman named Natalia, whose husband is already mobilized, writes in one of the chats that they are now "taking those who did not serve." According to her, the husband never underwent military service, did not hold a weapon in his hands and "did not see him in the eye." The Russian woman claims that he was “invented” by the military specialty in 2016, as the employer demanded a military ID.

She also shared that they gave everything in the unit, but I had to buy some kind of equipment:
“The husband was given everything new. Plains are already shiny! However, the berets are uncomfortable. It is impossible to squat or run in them. She began to look for army charter berets, with lacing in holes, gas -bearing. On Wildberries, such berets, starting from 41 sizes, ended. In the city too. Found only in one place. Thank God, at a price of 5.5 thousand. Previously, they were cheaper! I rushed behind the thermal underwear - the same picture. Why not freeze the prices of army equipment? This is a crime - to create a shortage and overestimate prices in such difficult time !!! ”
The woman claims that “everything is in the Crimea,” but she buys a lot “for comfort”. The wife of another mobilized named Marina replies to the message of Natalia:
“Natasha, to completely equip-this is modestly about 80 thousand rubles, and in a good way, as it should,-about 150 thousand. Some are fighting, others are ozoal. ”
Natalia writes that it is necessary to take linen and means for hygiene, and the rest, if retraining is provided (apparently, as in the situation with her spouse), is issued.
“Be sure to take soap red! Also cowards, socks, a couple of T -shirts. Everything is issued, do not take superfluous, let it be better to make a list, bring the right one. This is if retraining is provided. If so a military man, then they are sent immediately, without preparation. ”
Despite all the indignations of women, including the one and a half million sets of military uniforms revealed by the lack of one and a half million ( one of them mentions the news in voice traffic ), some Russians continue to leave patriotic slogans in chats, as well as be proud of the fact that they are Russians.
“We are Russians !!! We believe, we believe, and we will believe! The victory will be behind us! We are Russian truth! "
There are also messages on the topic of equipping military personnel from Natalia: “Women, there are no words! I hope they will not go into battle with shovels! "
At the same time, Natalia claims that their husbands will cope, become “new heroes” and return alive and healthy. She calls on women to “inspire her husband”, and not inspire uncertainty and fear: “Change your mood, otherwise your husband will lose heart, he feels your mood.”
Rita - the wife of another mobilized - adds that she is still scared: “We believe, of course, and pray that all this will end soon, everyone will return alive and healthy! But it’s terrible anyway, this horror will not be anywhere. All that we can now pray for them, for us, for peace. ” After that, Natalia claims that women should help her husbands also with business, for example, buy equipment and, if possible, visit the “Gostinists”.
In the same chat, the mobilized wife, who was presented to Marina, advises to take gaskets as insoles in shoes. According to her, they absorb moisture well and "so warmer." She shared with women and other advice:
“Buy and open the swab, dip it powder of citric acid, shake and pack it tightly (stop bleeding a small size).”
Some participants argue that their husbands (who probably undergo combat coordination and have not yet gone to the war in Ukraine) “on the positive”, they are fed deliciously, they “play backgammon” and go to concerts, as well as to shops. Similar messages are written by women with reference to the city of Luga (Leningrad Region). At the same time, they claim that none of them know where the husbands are sent then.
In chats, not only wives, but also acquaintances, sisters and neighbors of mobilized men write. So, in one of them, a woman tells how her mobilized brother had to wait for the bus for several hours in the cold.

The other writes that her neighbor was mobilized and said that they would be sent to the border, but they do not conduct any teachings. “This is scary, they don’t give any preparation, now the armor is looking for them.” In addition, Russians send an anonymous message that women give birth to a child, and then he "needs to be sent to death."

They discuss in chats how the agenda is now distributed. One of the members of the group claims that in St. Petersburg they are forced to spread the agenda of HOA employees.

There are women who are looking for their mobilized relatives in chat, as they have lost contact with them. One of them wrote a message that the son had taken a button phone with him and has not responded to the message for two weeks. She clarified that she writes from the account of her son, and asked for help. There are similar messages in a group with relatives mobilized from Khanty -Mansi Autonomous Okrug: a woman named Zinaida sent a voice message in which she claims that she could not contact her son for a week, and she is not answered on a hot line. Other participants advise you to calm down and find out where the son was mobilized, and are also divided by phone numbers of parts by which the information can be clarified.
After the announcement of “partial” mobilization on Wildberries in Russia, the demand for goods for the military sharply grew , the “paper” reported with reference to the Anabar research agency. For example, Russians began to buy sleeping bags 460%more often, and foams that are allowed to take with them are 390%, hiking dishes - by 370%, as well as balaclavs - by 360%. The button phones and first -aid kits began to buy 200% more often. At the same time, body armor has risen in price by more than 40%.
On September 27, Siren published a video in which the representative of the military unit in the Altai Territory advises the draftees to buy hydrogen peroxide, but also to ask wives to take the cheapest gaskets to put them in shoes, and tampons in order to close the bullet holes. According to the woman, she knows these methods since the time of Chechnya. After the video was dispersed on social networks, a member of the defense council committee Dmitry Perminov said that reports of equipment deficit for mobilized are fakes. He also clarified that for the first time he hears that someone advises to take gaskets into the army.
The territorial departments of Roszdravnadzor, in turn, warned the heads of pharmaceutical organizations about the deficiency of dressing, hemostatic agents and hemostatic harnesses. This was reported by the "pharmaceutical messenger" with reference to the information letter and sources in pharmacy associations.
