– Dear friends. I have bad news, but the thought that things might get worse makes me feel more comfortable reporting, says Veter Editor-in-Chief, Vera Pochueva on Instagram.
– We received a message from the museum in Moscow that the adjacent building and the courtyard are outside the museum, where our construction and activities are taking placeFrom tomorrow, it will be the location of a military mobilization point.
She says the creation of the position began at the same time as the festival’s preparations.
The plan was to gather tens of thousands of people in a supermarket of 170 participating brands, many of them Russian.
The magazine editors at Veter have canceled the event on Instagram.
The last time the festival was held, that is, before the pandemic, it attracted 35,000 Russians interested in local brands and a climate-friendly lifestyle. This time a tattoo studio and a ski slope were reserved.
– Because of this message and without the possibility of changing anything, we decided not to hide this information, risking the safety of not only the festival participants, but also the thousands of people in our audience.
– With tears in their eyes and a broken heart, the entire team at Veter dives. 💔 hug.
Come Quickly
Editor Vera has more than 80,000 followers on her Instagram account, which she updates in Russian. The magazine has 150,000.
Instagram has been banned as a platform for use in Russia, but people in the country are still using it by using VPN.
A Russian woman who spoke to NRK, who lives abroad, described Veter magazine as “popular with people in their twenties and thirties,” and says the decision until editors abruptly stepped in.
– She says that people are very upset.
– I think a lot of Veterans’ audience are people who travel abroad and have an open mind. Certainly not those who watch zombie TV.
Vera Bochoeva is the editor-in-chief of Veter magazine.
It means, after all, the propaganda that the Russian authorities produce on a daily basis for the Russian people.
Although mobilization centers appeared in Moscow, she got the impression that more men were being mobilized from the provinces than from the big cities.
This madness highlights the differences in Russian society.
The same applies to ethnic minorities. The boss only talks about them when he needs something. It is very annoying.
‘Disproportionate recruitment of minorities’
The independent research institute for the study of war says the Russian authorities are now breaking promises to only recruit people with military experience.
The think tank also wrote that the Kremlin is likely to mobilize a disproportionate number of people from ethnic and non-Russian immigrant communities.
A member of the Russian Human Rights Council in the Kremlin, Kirill Kabanov, proposed compulsory military service for migrants from Central Asia who acquired Russian citizenship in the past 10 years.
He threatened to confiscate their Russian citizenship if they did not act.

Moreover, the research center wrote that the Armenian Telegram channel published a packing list from Tuapse on the northeastern coast of the Black Sea.
They say that 90% of the population is of Armenian origin, despite the fact that the Armenian community in the city makes up only 8.5% of the population.
In turn, the recall does not apply to everyone who works in IT companies, the financial sector or “strategically important” media organizations, the ruling authorities announced on Friday.
