For the past month and a half, Russia has been carrying out a covert mobilization campaign across 17 regions, human rights organizations report . According to groups including Shkola Prizyvnika, Idite po Lesu, and Prizyv k Sovesti, residents in at least 17 Russian regions over the last six weeks have reported forced detentions and being coerced into signing contracts with the Russian Defense Ministry. The Moscow Times reports that complaints received by Shkola Prizyvnika in July and August came from Udmurtia, Primorsky Krai, Irkutsk, Ryazan and Arkhangelsk regions, Buryatia, and the so-called Donetsk People's Republic. Idite po Lesu collected 18 similar reports during the same period from the Penza, Amur, Orenburg and Jewish Autonomous regions, as well as from Krasnodar and Khabarovsk Krais and the cities of Izhevsk, Omsk, Blagoveshchensk and Ulan-Ude. Prizyv k Sovesti also received 18 complaints about forced recruitment in July and August. Timofey Vaskin, head of the legal department at Shkola Prizyvnika, said that victims are most often men from vulnerable social groups. Those targeted include people with alcohol or drug addiction, mental health issues, physical illnesses, as well as single men and individuals with legal problems. Human rights advocates cited several cases. In Novorossiysk, a man was reportedly taken to a police station, beaten, drugs were planted on him, and he was forced to sign a military contract. In Arkhangelsk region, a man was detained for drinking in public and sent to the front lines. In Omsk, a man was taken from his workplace, held, and a contract was signed on his behalf. Grigory Sverdlin, director of Idite po Lesu, stated that Russian authorities are finding it increasingly difficult to recruit volunteers for combat, leading to growing pressure on potential contract soldiers. "They know who has debts, who is under investigation, who recently lost their driver's license, and they target those people," he said. Prizyv k Sovesti recommended that residents in affected regions closely follow the news, prepare powers of attorney so relatives can represent them at military enlistment offices, and refuse to sign military contracts. In June 2026, Russia saw record numbers of internet searches about leaving the country. Many Russians were looking for visa-free travel options and information on how quickly they could obtain a passport.
