Oleksandr Koltun, a 35-year-old volunteer from Bratsk, died in a conscription camp in Novosibirsk four days after mobilization. His mother Olena Gudo (Zausayeva) announced this on the Odnoklassniki social network, Meduza reports, citing Rador.

Her post also attracted the attention of journalists from the Taiga.Info publication.

According to Ms. Zausaeva, on September 28, Koltun volunteered for mobilization “consciously and in full mental capacity,” and on October 2, he died “of a heart attack” in Novosibirsk.

At the same time, she claims that her son never complained that he would have heart problems, and “it was not on the cards of the doctors.”

“Think carefully before sending your sons to the front”

The last time the resident of Bratsk spoke to her son was on the evening of October 2. He complained that he was not issued a uniform, was not fed, and that “everyone complains and drinks alcohol.”

“We can’t take the body, the government doesn’t help us, we don’t know anything for three days. Think twice before sending your sons,” she added.

“Some people convince me on the phone that he died because of low-quality alcohol, that he drank there for several days in a row, and now they are talking about heart failure… But the truth is that my son never abused alcohol. He went to fight in Ukraine completely consciously ,voluntarily, according to his wish. I called from the educational part and said that it is a complete mess, no one takes the mobilized people into account, everyone does what they want.’ , Koltun’s mother told the Bratceane Telegram channel.

Zausaeva also said that her son has six children – four from his first marriage, one of his own and one shared from the second.

After the announcement of mobilization in Russia, people with health problems and those who were not subject to mobilization began to be sent to the army.

It was also reported about the death of people due to mobilization in educational institutions, recruiting stations, and military schools. Such cases are known, including in the Sverdlovsk and Tyumen regions, Novosibirsk and Omsk.

Men mobilized in Russia were left without equipment. Relatives and volunteers buy them hats, caps, socks and insoles. The authorities of some regions promise to provide sleeping bags and mattresses.

According to some independent sources, 213,000 people have already been mobilized in Russia. But these data are only from two-thirds of Russian regions, the real figure is obviously higher.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that 200,000 soldiers had been recruited into the army across the country.
