It has long been rumored that Russia is executing its own soldiers; deserters and those disobeying orders.
A young soldier, who identifies himself with full name, military number tag, and location at the frontline, now tells the barbaric story from the trench on the battlefield.
“…the situation is difficult. My own people want to nullify me, to shoot me,” he tells.
The 5 minutes long video-recording aimed for his girlfriend was first posted on Telegram and later spread across social media this weekend. The Barents Observer is not identifying the soldier or his fellow colleague now fighting in the front line of Russia’s battlefield in occupied Ukraine.
I’m sure this method of discipline will result in improved performance, and not friendly fire incidents happening in the commanders’ tents.
The US boys in Vietnam had a creative solution for that.
What did they do? I genuinely don’t know.
Fragging, throwing a hand grenade into the living quarters of officers they hated.
The beatings will continue until morale improves
It is more like “The executings will continue until moral improves”
Great. Less ammunition we need to buy.
It’s called communism.
Wow… Max Brooks was right on the money in “World War Z” on how the Russians would keep their men in line.
Isn’t there really only 2 options to deserters and disobeying orders?
Jail, or shoot them.
The bad guys always choose shoot them. The good guys choose jail.
Russia is the baddies
