Several women in Russia demanding the return home of their husbands and children on the Ukrainian front have put stickers on their cars with the following messages: “Bring back my husband, I’m tired of this” and “Give me back my son-in-law.” ,” as well as other messages to the authorities, according to The Moscow Times, an independent Russian publication that the Russian Federation has declared a “foreign agent.”

“Dear our participants, we see your activity. (…) Thank you for not giving up and fighting together with us for our people. Let’s give it a push. Let everyone see our problem!”, – says the Telegram channel “The Way to Home”, where the wives of the mobilized gathered.

Photos of cars with stickers from various Russian cities are also published, including Omsk, Oryol, Barnaul, and Izhevsk.

“We remember how the president promised that reservists would not be called up, that only professional volunteers would perform tasks in the special operation (no, that’s what Myeskova calls the war in Ukraine). And then our pets were taken to Ukraine. The promises, in fact, turned out to be nothing. (…) Behind the screen of stability for the majority, our people pay with blood, and we pay with health and tears,” the text of the manifesto reads.

Relatives of those mobilized also emphasized that they were “not interested in the rotation” of the Russian military, while warning the authorities that they would retreat “only when our people are safe at home.”

Before such a form of protest, the wives of those mobilized were denied the opportunity to hold a rally near the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow on November 25.

The authorities of Chelyabinsk, Krasnoyarsk and Novosibirsk also did not allow street actions. In Novosibirsk, in particular, the organizers of the rally were offered to hold it in the hall, excluding all those not directly related to the mobilized.

In this context, the relatives of those mobilized from Kemerovo region and Krasnoyarsk region began to receive threats from the police.

Russia currently does not envisage the rotation of the Russian military, Andriy Kartapolov, a representative of the State Duma defense committee, said in September.

He explained that the mobilized Russians will return home only “after the end of the special operation”.
