Police arrest a woman protesting against the partial mobilization announced by Vladimir Putin. In Moscow, September 21, 2022. ALEXANDER NEMENOV / AFP It’s a simple chat of residents of a small town in the Moscow region – a few dozen people, mostly women, who are used to talking about the whatsapp messaging.

Why should our men go to defend the homes and lands of those who abandoned them? Husbands and sons, kids who haven’t seen anything of life yet, are going to die because the politicians have decided it. – Defend against whom? Someone attacked us? Someone threatens us?
