The Lyubertsy Military Enlistment Office in the Moscow Region is experiencing a severe crisis in its recruitment process: lines stretch for hours, and crowds are gathering both inside the building and on the streets. Complaints from residents subject to conscription appeared on the "Beware, Moscow" Telegram channel on November 13.

"It's open two days a week from 9:30 to 18:00, no appointments, no coupons, only one girl does the registration, she doesn't have time to physically register everyone, everyone is mixed up here: conscripts, students, pensioners, doctors and nurses," — the channel administrators report the words of eyewitnesses.

Visitors report chaos: people are forced to wait for hours to receive summonses, certificates, or deferments. The problem has become more acute amid the autumn conscription, when military registration and enlistment offices across the country are reporting increased workloads. In the Moscow region, the conscription campaign began on October 1, with plans to send over 5000 new recruits to the armed forces.
