Russian man braves bears to avoid Putin’s call-up

• A Russian man has risked animals and bitterly cold weather while hiding in a forest.
• The leader of Russia declared that 300,000 support troops will be dispatched to fight in Ukraine.
• One man has gone further by spending almost a month living in a forest in southern Russia.

A Russian man has admitted that, in order to avoid Vladimir Putin’s military mobilisation, he has risked animals and bitterly cold weather while hiding in a forest.

Recently, the leader of Russia declared that 300,000 support troops will be dispatched to fight in Ukraine, but other experts think that up to one million conscripts could be called up.

The approach has encountered difficulties as news stories about soldiers working while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs make headlines.

It’s also no secret that some individuals attempted to avoid being called up. One man, IT professional Adam Kalinin, has gone further by spending almost a month living in a forest in southern Russia.
