Is it Peskov's son that is avoiding the draft? I saw a site in which his son (I think) was trolled by journalists pretending to be Russian MoD, asking where his forms were.

Yep...here's some additional scoop. The scam was run by Dmitry Nizovtsev, a member of the NGO Anti-corruption Foundation founded by Kremlin political opponent Alexei Navalny, who pretended to be an employee of the military registration and enlistment office. He called some children of the officials and deputies closest to Vladimir Putin to summon them for medical examinations to be carried out before being included among the 300,000 conscripts:


Pranksters called the son of one of Putin's closest allies and told him he is being enlisted in the army — but he refused
 
Now this is REALLY interesting. According to info leaked from the Kremlin to a Russian newspaper, Putin signed a secret law approving conscription of 1 million soldiers. If it's true, we could see a lot more protests in Russia:

 
In every country with a draft there's always the fortunate sons.
