Russian government officials are reportedly quitting in droves after a colleague who was conscripted as part of President Vladimir Putin's mobilization decree died in Ukraine.

Russian journalist Roman Super, citing Kremlin sources, said on his Telegram channel that Moscow government employees are handing in their notices following the killing of Aleksey Martynov, the head of a department within the Moscow city government.

Martynov, 28, was reportedly conscripted on September 23 as part of President Vladimir Putin's mobilization decree, despite having no combat experience. He was killed on October 10 while fighting in Ukraine.

"We have a mass exodus—employees leave, leaving notes in the nightstands. IT people, advertisers, marketers, PR people, and ordinary civil servants. A real mass exodus," a government source told Super.

1. To be replaced by true loyalists.

Much like the Trump administration.

2. Can't replace their skills though. Institutional knowledge...

fleeing out of the doors after a barely trained colleague is killed in just three weeks in Putin's war.

3. Yep! As Trump has shown, skills are secondary to loyalty to dear leader.

4. Wow! Conscripted on 9/23 and killed in combat on 10/10; just 17 days later.

He barely had time to be fitted for a uniform, given a rifle, and transported to the battlefield.
That's just too bizarre for words.
You'd think he was part of a last ditch, desperate effort to defend Moscow.
