It looks like hidden drafting has started in Russia.
A campaign started in 20 Russian regions on drafting reservists into units that will secure critically important Russian objects.
In Tatarstan, this process started back in October - reservists were recruited to secure oil objects. In Nizhny Novgorod, reservists have already been selected and are undergoing training.
On November 4, Putin signed a decree allowing reservists to be drafted into securing critically important objects in peacetime.
It is hard to estimate the scale of this process and the number of reservists that will be drafted. The main question is whether this is done to accumulate additional human resource for war or to replenish losses and decrease in signing military contracts (which have been the primary source of Russia's cannon fodder in previous years). This should become clear in several months.
Several Russian regions have sharply decreased the amount of payments Russians receive when they sign a contract with the Russian army. That's probably why the hidden mobilization was launched now.
Although it is declared that the reservists will only serve in their regions, there is very little doubt that they will all arrive at the frontlines eventually.
This should also influence the overall situation with labor resources in Russia - reservists are usually more educated and qualified. Russia is already experiencing labor shortage, and this will deepen the issue in the long term.
