Mostly it was a joke about how much effort the Russian government has put into 'sparing' the politically important urban centers from feeling the effects of the war, as far as possible, and offloading the burden to rural areas and the ethnic republics.
Oh, I got it. Right, I do suspect that the proportion of conscripts who suddenly found themselves as contract soldiers is probably much higher in the countryside.
