While Russian prisoners in the Ukraine war can fight their way out and their deployment is over after six months, the story is completely different for regular soldiers. They must hold out at the front until the armed conflict is considered over. Meanwhile, more and more courageous relatives defend themselves – and do not spare strong criticism.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has chosen 2024 as the ‘Year of the Family’. Many women in the country have to endure daily life without their husbands. Children grow up without a father. Many are already orphans. “What irony,” desperate Russian women complain in a manifesto on the Telegram channel “Put domoj”, where those affected share their difficult fate.
Particularly absurd: while ex-prisoners have to endure the terrible bloodshed for six months and then can go home, for all other soldiers there is no deadline. The Russians drafted into the war as part of the mobilization will practically not be able to return to their homeland until the end of hostilities. The Kremlin emphasizes that the legislation does not provide for changes in the armed forces. Their mission will only end when the ‘special military operation’ is over.
“Our president really has a sense of humor…”
“But a satanic cannibal who has committed another crime after his first captivity is a free man after six months. “Our president really has a sense of humor,” the relatives, who have been severely affected by the fate, complain online. It is believed that the icing on the cake of society included “mentally disturbed people, alcoholics, migrants, exorbitantly wealthy civil servants and their small children.”
One year restriction required
Many family members do not want to accept these conditions and have now formed a movement. She advocates limiting the commitment to one year. Many members have already fallen victim to reprisals. The authorities banned them from demonstrating and police stopped at some people’s homes.
Russia is becoming increasingly unsafe
Prisoners who have been pardoned often reoffend, and gruesome murders by former inmates are common. A few days ago, the return of a convicted serial killer and cannibal caused horror. After six months of war he was released. 33-year-old Nikolai Ogolobjak belonged to a satanic sect and, together with other members, is said to have beheaded four people. Then he ate their hearts and tongues. Now he is walking freely on the streets again, without any form of rehabilitation; the outcome is uncertain.
You feel betrayed
The relatives of the regular soldiers feel lied to and betrayed: ‘We have been fooled and you will be fooled too.’ After all, Putin promised that only specially trained volunteers would be recruited. As it turned out, this was just a blatant tall tale: “Our loved ones were sent to Ukraine. They were just empty promises. Many will never return home.” Those affected complain that the mobilization was a big mistake: “In Russia you are punished for obeying the law.”
