Reports on the facts of restrictions on the movement of citizens liable for military service largely formed an informationalpicture of the past weekend. ATOR Bulletin urges readers not to panic, rely only on trusted sources and not invent whole “rules” from individual episodes. The situation can change very quickly. What is it like on the morning of September 26?
The main thing to consider before planning personal trips for residents of the regions is the difference in approaches to organizing the partial mobilization of regional authorities and even the fact that the official orders published on September 22-23 have changed (sometimes several times) since they were published.
One way or another, movement in Russia was restricted for 25 regions of the Russian Federation liable for military service
REGIONAL PICTURE: STANDARD ORDERS, Clarifications, and Text Editing
In more than 20 regions of the Russian Federation, standard orders have been issued and are still in effect, prohibiting those liable for military service from leaving their place of residence. It is clear that this “including”, logically, should also mean the impossibility of traveling abroad, however, only the Sverdlovsk region prescribed the impossibility of foreign trips for those liable for military service.
In a number of regions, following the publication of documents regulating the order movement of residents outside it (or the area of permanent residence) was followed by explanations of the military commissars of these subjects. In a number of regions of the Russian Federation, orders were generally edited (sometimes this happened more than once).
The picture by region is summarized in table below. It will be updated as information becomes available. However, we note that the publication of seemingly unambiguous orders is followed by comments by the military commissars of these regions, clarifying their wording. Sometimes these clarifications change the essence of the “prohibitions”.
From the whole current picture, it becomes clear that the regions have not yet received all the detailed instructions and prescribed procedures “from above” and are now acting “at their own discretion” or even “on a hunch”. And with the receipt of new instructions, the position of regional authorities can change literally in a day.

The table is completed.
Back to news at your own discretion. Even then, this created additional difficulties for travel planning and made it difficult for participants in the tourism market to debug business processes.
As during a pandemic, the market is waiting for certainty – this time a clear, unified picture at the federal level. Indeed, unlike covid, the regions now do not have any “special powers” in the mobilization sphere. All work is carried out by the federal ministry and the position of all regional authorities regarding travel bans, obviously, should be unified from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok. Probably now the regions are waiting for instructions from the Ministry of Defense and the government.
SEVERAL CASES OF BORDER CROSSING REFUSED WERE NOTIFIED. BUT THIS IS NOT A RULE
Interviewed experts of the tour operator market now note that now 99.99% of the “troubles” that await male tourists at the border of the Russian Federation are additional questions from border officers.
To date, according to relevant Internet groups and Telegram channels, there have been less than a dozen refusals to cross the border for reasons related to mobilization. These messages also need confirmation.
Specialists of the travel industry and the aviation industry ask tourists not to give up critical reflection on the situation when analyzing information messages. Refusals to cross the border for a number of reasons are, although hidden from the eyes of an outside observer, but one of the normal and natural phenomena in the life of any large border checkpoint.
Refusals may follow, for example, due to debts, due to incorrectly executed and/or expired documents, due to travel bans for minor children imposed by one of the parents. So, the border service of the airport, where the border is crossed by 5000 people. per day, without any mobilization, “deploys” 40 passengers per shift.
Until now, the main reason for refusing to travel abroad for men is the banal non-payment of alimony. Therefore, it is logical to assume that not everyone who was not released from the country after September 21 “suffered” precisely in connection with the mobilization.
CLUSTERS OF PASSENGERS AT AIRPORTS ARE PROBABLY, THE QUESTION IS A REASON
< p>Contributing to the general information chaos are also varying degrees of veracity of reports regarding the workload of air hubs.
While telegram channels for travelers reported a significant number of passengers arriving at airports at the same time and creating significant queues, official sources refute this data.
“Sheremetyevo provides services to passengers and airlines of Russian and foreign flights in a standard mode. The check-in process for flights and the procedures for pre-flight screening of passengers are carried out without changes in accordance with the current regulations, ”the RBC edition quotes the press service of the company.
At the same time, the airport does not exclude that with the simultaneous arrival of a large number there may be temporary crowds associated with the need for security screening at the entrance to the terminal.
Aviation experts suggest, again, to critically consider the statements of both sides and also not to panic.
There were no more flights to fly abroad, and there were not a large number of free seats on the existing ones, even the increased demand for air travel could not lead to such a sharp influx of passengers – they simply would not have enough seats on the planes.
< p> If queues also arise, most likely, they are connected with the fact that the airports do not have enough employees. Against the background of the fact that now many residents of the capital are flying to their regions (just because of the orders in a number of constituent entities of the Russian Federation with prohibitions to leave their place of permanent residence, they return to their place of registration), lack of staff and can give “hype” pictures with crowds at airports .
The heads of tour operators interviewed by the editors once again urge tourists not to panic, wait for the publication of detailed explanations from federal and regional authorities on travel abroad and trust only verified information on the Internet, and not anonymous and unverifiable messages.
