The ISW think tank previously predicted that Russia would 'marry Soviet-style societal control measures with big data and 21st-century information technology.'
Moscow is clamping down on Russian citizens attempting to avoid military service, but has held off on imposing a second mobilization.
Russian citizens who are sent an electronic summons must present to enlist within 20 days, and cannot leave Russia, state media reported. Those who fail to comply will have their rights, such as permission to drive a vehicle, restricted. A Russian soldier patrols a street in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol on April 12, 2022. The Russian State Duma has passed legislation to crack down on those dodging military service.The old system was"not updated," Kartapolov said, and the new digital register will put right"the shortcomings that were made last year during the period of partial mobilization."
Commenting on the new measures, the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War think tank said it had previously predicted the Kremlin would"marry Soviet-style societal control measures with big data and 21st-century information technology." This would"intensify control over the Russian population," the think tank added.
