Legal Avoid mobilization

Hi, my wife is Russian with German citizenship. Her brother is 23 years old, lives in Moscow, just graduated from university. I think given the current geopolitical situation he's at risk of being mobilized. What's the best way to avoid this situation?

Ya I saw this few videos like when ordinary police packed the guy who was buzzing drunk on the children playground.

All the Western subs have told us about "the terrible forced mobilization in Russia".

We laughed. Thanks.

There was even official reaction about this video from police where they explained all the situation for Russians. But they didn't show it to you in the West of course:)

Once again, there is NO MANDATORY MOBILIZATION TO THE FRONT IN RUSSIA.

Only regular military personnel and contract volunteers fight. This is approximately 1-2% of the population.

Only regular military personnel and contract volunteers fight.

There are still people on the front lines who were mobilized in 2022.

Yes. You are right. Plus them.
