Russian police raid Moscow clubs, detain men for military service
30 Nov 2024 ~~ By Dylan MalyasovIn a coordinated operation, Russian authorities conducted raids on three of Moscow’s largest and most popular nightclubs on Friday night, detaining hundreds of men and taking them to military conscription offices.
The raids, which took place at the Simachev, Mutabor/ARMA, and Mono nightclubs, began around 2 a.m. and continued for several hours, sending shockwaves through the city’s nightlife scene.
According to witnesses, dozens of police vehicles, including paddy wagons, lined up outside the nightclubs as enforcement personnel, accompanied by police K9 units, systematically entered the establishments. Clubgoers described the scene as chaotic, with people being escorted out in groups. The authorities focused their efforts on male patrons, detaining many of them and subsequently transporting them to local military conscription offices. Women, on the other hand, were eventually released after their passports were photographed.
One attendee, who wished to remain anonymous, described the atmosphere inside as tense and surreal. “It was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. They came in and started checking IDs, taking the men away without much explanation. The music stopped, and everyone just froze,” the witness said.

Reports of these mass raids come amid growing pressures on the Putin regime to replenish forces as Russia’s military operations continue. In recent months, there have been multiple indications that the Kremlin is struggling to meet manpower requirements, with stepped-up conscription efforts throughout the country. The raids in Moscow, targeting some of the city’s most high-profile entertainment venues, represent a new level of intensity in these efforts.
Commentary:
A sure sign there is unrest in Russia.
Putin is bleeding conscripted Russian soldiers. He's been losing upwards of 1,200 a day. His use of convicts has been exhausted and conscription is raising resistance within Russia.
That is why Putin has accepted the infusion of North Korean soldiers.
Putin will gladly sit down to negotiate after Jan 21, 2025 to end this dispute.
The first thing that will occur is freezing the lines of battle.
I'm hoping that we DON'T end up with a plan like North & South Korea. I'm sure that that is what Putin is looking to do. He wants to keep those parts of the Ukraine that he's conquered.
Let's see how Trump negotiators handles this deal.
