Serious incidents also took place on Sunday against the measure of “partial conscription” decided by the Vladimir Putin. After the demonstrations in Moscow and St. Petersburg, which had as a consequence about 2,000 arrests, in Dagestan, a city on Russia’s border with Azerbaijan and Georgia, residents reacted strongly to the conscription, resulting in beatings between citizens and the authorities. Incidents also occurred in other regions of Russia.
According to videos posted on social media, crowds of people took to the streets of Dagestan on Sunday to demonstrate against “forced” conscription. At Makhachkala, capital of Dagestan, the security forces do not hesitate to beat women as well.
Dagestan has already paid heavy human cost during the Seven Months War. According to a BBC Russia count, at least 301 soldiers from Dagestan have been killed – the most of any other Russian region and more than 10 times the death toll from Moscow, which has five times the population.
Unauthorized gatherings are illegal under Russian anti-demonstration laws and are rare outside major cities.
