Matovnikov is the Deputy Commander of the Ground Forces, a career KGB/FSB Alfa officer, former commander of SSO 2015-2018 and presidential envoy to the North Caucasian Federal District. Alexey Dyumin was the commander of SSO in 2014-2015, former FSO officer and governor of Tula.
Dyumin was seen as a potential successor to Putin but not sure if that is still the case. It doesn't appear Matovnikov was successful as the presidential envoy either. Yunus-bek Yevkurov is the current Deputy Minister of Defense for combat training. 2/
Yevkurov took part in the Dash to Pristina in Kosovo in 1999 and was later the head of Ingushetia. Deputy Minister of Defense Tsalikov oversees housing, construction, and other related issues for the MoD. Unlike the other three, he doesn't have strong operational experience.

A couple of days after Ramzan Kadyrov criticized Colonel General Lapin for being far from the front lines during the fighting in Lyman, Russian channels are sharing photos of him leading troops. Clearly a PR battle going on between Russian commanders.
t.me/ok_spn/21287
Another photo of Lapin commanding his forces. Looks like he has a R-149AKSh-1 command-staff vehicle in addition to his modified Tigr-M vehicles. He's also using an Azart radio. Not sure what the black radio is. 2/
It was obvious before that Russian forces were wearing or flying Soviet flags and patches. The Russian MoD blurred them out of previous videos with Lapin, but it is very clear this practice is accepted by Russia's most senior military leaders.

Good indication of how mobilization brought the war home for many Russians.
Of course, there was a change in rhetoric and the decision to announce a mobilization was also a strong signal that the war isn't going well, which also could have contributed to the jump.
Given how poorly the initial phase of mobilization was conducted and the uncertainty about who would get called up, that sense of anxiety may drop somewhat. Of course, it won't if mobilized units get thrown into the war too quickly and take heavy casualties.
