Plan: Just pay them off and shut them up.
Cynical doesn’t begin to describe this plan.
x 1/ The Kremlin has reportedly told regional governors to "extinguish with money" the protests of wives of mobilised soldiers ahead of next March's elections. It is said to believe that they are "often waiting not for their husbands from the war, but for their salary cards". ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/4VV66pJZEV — ChrisO_wiki (@ChrisO_wiki) November 27, 2023
3/ According to sources, the administration has recommended that payments be made "fully, quickly and without red tape" and that existing public activists be involved in the "round dance around the mobilised". 4/ Senior officials want to satisfy what they believe is many wives' primary demand – for money, rather than the return of their husbands. A source says: "Firstly, if it is clearly impossible to solve all the problems, then pay everyone the maximum amount of money." 5/ "If this does not help, then promise to look into it and write letters to the Ministry of Defence. At the same time, it is necessary to divide as much as possible those who are dissatisfied on private issues – some need a husband, some need money, some just to be listened to."
