The Russian lawmakers have upped the age of enlistment to 30 and are making happy noises about rising it all the way to 40 or even 50.
A rather unconstitutional law has also been passed. From now on,
lawyers will be prohibited from helping conscripts and mobilized persons at military enlistment offices. Also, the new amendments will prohibit citizens from leaving the Russian Federation from the moment an electronic summons is issued rather than from the moment it is delivered (formerly you had to be served a paper). The fine for failing to show up at the enlistment office has been upped from 3000 rub to 30 000 rub.
I imagine they they are getting ready either for a full-scale war against NATO or creating a wealth of bodies to hold the newly occupied territories in case they decide to carry out a push to Kiev 2.0.
Shower thought: pre-WW II, Nazi Germany enjoyed a boost in culture, economic prosperity and patriotism. I am not currently seeing anything like this taking place in Russia, and the populace is less than enthused about having to die for the tzar, though apathetic compliance is sure present in many.
