Eh. Do employers have any choice?

No. No, they don’t. It’s the law.

This is dumbest propaganda piece I’ve read in some time.

Well, some jurisdictions do allow employers to write a letter saying "NN is a key employee and necessary for our continued production of vitally important shampoo" or words to that effect.

This Russia, so whilst they are allowed to write a letter like that, it is highly unlikely to be taken into account.

The only that would make a difference would be if the director knows someone somewhere and wants to spend the political capital required to keep that person out of the army.
