Russian mothers who were abandoned by their husbands have found a silver lining in the military draft: they can get financial compensation.
300,000 new conscripts were called to fight in Russia after the war in Ukraine. Protests and Russians attempting to flee the country were caused by the draft.
Dozens of women have come together in a ruse to get their exes into the military by giving enlistment offices personal data of the men who abandoned them and their children. Verstka said that at least 70 women are sharing their experiences in an online community.
Verstka didn't answer the phone when her ex- husband called her twice.
He served in the army and is tall. He is in good shape. If they didn't mobilize him, it would be unfair. My partner is raising kids with me.
Three other women took to the scheme and used different names. Insider wasn't able to verify the claims.
If my ex went to war, he would pay back the debt because he would be receiving official payments to an account that you can't hide from. The child is entitled to compensation if he gets hurt or dies.
The courts have allowed these fathers to abandon their children with little to no financial support because of the military order.
The child should be taken care of by both parents. It's not possible to drop like that. Our law protects bastards who run from alimony. There are no harsh measures taken against them. When their child was young, she kicked her ex- husband out of the house because of his alcoholism. He hasn't helped raise the child and owes her over half a million dollars.
Lilia Sergeeva told the outlet her ex- husband had been charged and sentenced to corrective labor for not paying alimony, but she asked, "what good is this to me?"
Sergeeva's ex- husband has not been paying alimony and has not participated in the upbringing of their child.
Many women argue that their exes don't show up anyways because of the risk of death.
I don't care if my ex- husband is able to survive at the front or not. If women work hard, then why can't a grown man? Many people have to work hard to provide for children. There is a risk of death during the special operation. For me, my ex- husband was dead for a long time. I will only receive official confirmation that he doesn't exist if he is sent to fight and dies.
He doesn't pay much attention to how his daughter has been living or what she has eaten. Sergeeva wanted to know if she had dinner.
If her ex- husband died, she thinks her son would be better off.
I don't feel bad for him. He didn't get in touch with his son for four years. She said that it would be better if he died already so that she could take her son's grave.
I was wondering how I would feel if he died there. Although we live in the same city, my son and I have not seen or heard him in over a decade. The child will be compensated if he gets killed.
