The picturesque Mediterranean city of Antalya, Turkey, is seeing a flood of Russian tourists just in time for Putins draft.

After Vladimir Putin announced the mobilization of 300,000 reservists to fight in Russias war against Ukraine, prices for international flights departing from Russia skyrocketed, and nearly every flight leaving Moscow or St. Petersburg was completely sold out through the weekend, according to real-time aircraft tracker Flightradar24.

After Putin announced he was calling for partial mobilization of reservists in the country, the number of searches for how to leave Russia ( ) on Google soared.

Reports emerged late on Wednesday that airlines have been instructed not to sell any more tickets to men of military age without evidence of approval to travel from the Russian Ministry of Defense.

That's the effects of cruelty under a ruling government that enforces conscription, even in desperation. It's cruel enslavement for the sake of tyrants demanding war.

It's another example of the concept of "my body, my choice " being thrown out the window, but often gets overlooked as negligible because it predominately discriminates against boys and men.

I think it's disgusting that Russian tyrants demand other people fight on their behalf.
I thought it was disgusting when male citizens in Ukraine were being barred from leaving the country while everyone else could.

As far as I'm concerned, such discriminatory rules are not dissimilar...they come from the same fucking sexist playbook.

I don't know that this is entirely the case. There is a real good chance most never supported this but after living under the oppression of that governing body, they simply are accustomed to never speaking up for fear of imprisonment or death.

Now they are getting desperate though. And sending their sons and young men away is a desperation move by the population en mass to avoid fighting the war but while also hoping to escape government punishment. It's a crappy situation. And the asshole in charge is too drunk on his position and power to see the writing on the wall.

there is a video of some pro war men in russia talking about supporting the war on ukraine only for them to be seen being dragged off later on and put into a van because they referred to it as a war so as punishment they are most likely being conscripted and sent to the front lines
they seemed less supportive while being dragged off

a better question is, how bad will desantis and abbot fight to get these refugees? I bet they would offer them scholarships, free housing and jobs at the local RNC.

Yeah I'm sure any random Russian guy can just tell Putin "cut it out" and not get fucking killed by the KGB

Or are you telling me that you're honestly so ignorant of how Russia operates that you seriously think Putin wouldn't literally have everybody who dissents killed and then just go have lunch

russia's population is around 144 million. if there is an actual, real panic and a movement numbering in the millions to rise up against the current regime, they can't stop that snowball from rolling down the hill

You are aware that revolutions and populist uprisings can and do happen in totalitarian regimes right? I get it, they are scared for themselves, their friends, and their families. Here's the thing though, so are the Ukrainians. My compassion for Russian soldiers dried up around the time the rape and massacres that took place in Bucha were exposed and have further dried up since we've been seeing the mass graves in newly liberated territory in and around Kharkiv. Russian soldiers have guns, tanks, and planes. These reservists are being issued weapons when they are called up. They should turn them on their leaders rather than raping and murdering Ukrainians.
