Woman from Vietnam receives draft notice in Moscow; she does not work in medical or military fields

Two years ago, the woman received Russian citizenship. She has never worked in medical or military fields, she is currently an analyst for the Lamoda online retailer.

On 11 October, two men in civilian clothes served her with a draft notice at her place of residence. 

“I assume that they give out draft notices to everyone [they can find] in accordance with their registered address, and my gender isn’t clear from my name,” Nguyễn commented. 

After receiving the document, the woman visited a military commissariat to get an explanation. There, she was offered to add her name to the list and leave her phone number for a future clarification.
