Moscow Conservatory Students Targeted in Military Draft Raids
Following reports from the Telegram channel “Ostorozhno, Moskva,” Moscow police conducted raids within the Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory’s dormitory, issuing military summonses to students. One student, Daniil, recounted a surprise early morning detention, where police lacked proper identification and escorted him and others to the enlistment office. After a seven-hour detainment, Daniil was released with a summons for the following Monday but was left without his passport. The incident highlights the abrupt and potentially coercive methods used to fulfill Russia’s military mobilization efforts.
