@0x815 at this point no one willing to live a civilized life (i.e. in the city and just about any sort of settlement) has any reason to stay in Russia whatsoever. There's no point in living like a fugitive, like some sort of a criminal just to avoid drafting.

It's sad that it happens this way though.

@0x815 that is true, but given how regular phone calls and other communication could be tracked, I think it's just a matter of time until these people will be noticed by authorities.

Maybe just living on your own in the woods would help - but then again, whenever you need to access state services you are exposing yourself to this risk.

Family, children and elderly relatives who need to be taken care of.

A lack of skills, not being able to speak anything but Russian, which would make finding a job somewhere else impossible.

A lack of money, leaving Russia isn't cheap.

Fear of being detained and sent to the front, if you present yourself at the border, try to leave, but they find out you've been served a conscription notice.

That is an important issue indeed (and being detained at the border). Didn't think about this FWIW.
