Novosibirsk students who refused to sign contracts were forced to watch the film "Traitor" The recruitment of Russian students for contract military service has reached a new level of scale and coercion. Human rights activists are already calling this a second mobilization - this time among college and university students. It all started with persistent agitation, when students were literally locked in the room while watching patriotic films.

In the small Amur village of Borispol (according to the census 210, actually 150 people) there are only three streets - Sadovaya, Trudovaya and Vysokaya. The Babich cousins ​​grew up here - both were called Vladimir. In 2022, both found themselves in the war against Ukraine - one was recruited from the colony, the second was mobilized. In 2023, both died. Their younger brother, professional military man Timofey Babich, died even earlier - in April 2022.
