Enlistment officers accompanied by local police authorities were in many cases forcibly taking up men who were resisting the conscription orders, The Times reports.

This stirred up growing resentment against conscription, the institutions, and officials fulfilling the orders.

As a result, during this period as many as 70 enlistment offices have been attacked with molotov cocktails as a token of increasing resentment in Russia against mobilisation.
