The governor announced the erroneous mobilization of 379 residents of Volgograd

Military enlistment offices in the Volgograd region canceled the mobilization of 379 residents of the region, most of whom were not suitable due to health conditions, said Governor Andrey Bocharov today, reporting on the completion of the first stage of mobilization.

On September 21, 2022, Vladimir Putin announced "partial mobilization." On October 28 of the same year, the Minister of Defense reported to the president about its completion, but no corresponding decree followed. After the announcement of mobilization, attempts were recorded in the southern regions of Russia to mobilize people who, due to age or health conditions should not be sent to the combat zone.

Thus, at least 1857 fighters from the Volgograd region have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

"Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives of the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District killed in the military operation. The list is compiled based on data officially announced by representatives of the authorities and law enforcement agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Statistics of the Special Military Operation: Losses in Southern Russia are Increasing".

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, according to the material of the "Caucasian Knot" "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Deprive Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits", which describes the stories of the killed fighters. "Employees of the administration of St. Petersburg and the military enlistment office themselves asked me if my son's body had been found. In January 2023, I told them in response to another call that the body had been found and I was going to get it," said the mother of one of the killed, in particular.
