I’m sure they tried - but as long as you don’t put your signature down (even if tortured), it probably won’t happen, at least for now. Putin loves to do everything “by the books” - that’s also why this election happened at all. He wanted a rubber stamp legitimizing the shit he’s pulling.
Edit: they will keep pressuring him in jail for sure too. Those two weeks will be the longest of his life.
I’m a little shocked it’s just a prison sentence and not conscription.
I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t get recruited from his cell when the scheduled draft comes on October 1st.
I’m sure the jail sentence is just to soften him up for conscription.
That comes with the sentence. A freebie if you will.

That’s the trick. First make him a prisoner, then conscript the prisoners.
Maybe they don’t have family anymore that the government can use to extort them into fighting.
