Полная мобилизация 9 мая https://static.rusi.org/special-report-202204-operation-z-web.pdf"So far, Russia’s attempts to expand its available military manpower has rested on pressuring
conscripts to sign contracts of service and reducing the requirements for people to join without
prior military service. For Russia to significantly increase its numbers it would need to retain its
last round of conscripts and call up reserves. Both of these are politically contentious in Russia.
Nevertheless, the propaganda narrative and local initiatives to rally support appear to be creating
an environment in which 9 May can be used as a fulcrum to mobilise a much larger force. It
appears increasingly likely that rather than use it to announce victory, the Russian government
will instead use 9 May as the day on which the ‘special military operation’ is officially framed
as a ‘war’."
