    No wonder Russia has been human waving Wagner, trying to thin the ranks (No clue if this is credible, but if it isn’t, it just fits here better)

      like a true nazi state, russia wants to get rid of undesirables: criminals and the extremely gullibile (through wagner), minorities, the clueless an debtors (mobiks). you’ll find out that mobilization orders weren’t taken very seriously in moscow, but were in bashkiria and tuva (at least at the beginning). far east has few jobs available, in one far eastern region like half of population is in inescapable debt. army gives stable if shitty job. you can dodge draft if you know who to pay but if you don’t have money, this doesn’t work
