A resident of Kuban reported being forced to familiarize himself with the advertisement for the contract service.

In the migration department, when replacing the passport of a resident of Krasnodar Krai, they required him to sign a reminder about the terms of the contract with the Ministry of Defense of Russia.

A resident of the Leningrad district of Krasnodar Krai faced coercion to familiarize himself with the terms of the contract service when receiving his passport, claims the project "Go to the Forest"*. On July 16, the man submitted his old passport, and on July 17, he came to receive a new one at the district migration department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Before issuing the passport, he was given a reminder about the contract with the Ministry of Defense to sign. According to him, the employee explained that the signature was needed so that the military enlistment office would know that he received information about the terms of the contract specifically from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The reminder lists payments for signing the contract and participating in military operations, for offensive actions, destruction of equipment, and advancement of assault units, as well as payments for injuries and to the families of the deceased.

At the end of the document, there is a line "Familiarized" with the position of the specialist from the migration department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that the authorities of Russia launched an agitation campaign in the southern regions of Russia, offering migrants from Central Asia, as well as those who recently obtained Russian citizenship, payments for being sent to the special military operation zone; otherwise, these people are threatened with punishment. Security forces are actively involved in this campaign, periodically conducting raids for violations of migration legislation, analysts noted.
