> Russia mostly stopped using conscription
Some draftees are made sign the contract not just with large sums of money but also force/torture. I am told it happens almost dsily and knowing a bit what russian army is like I think it is likely. Probably more likely if you are non-slavic guy from the regions and not a big city
This story is about a guy who was arrested for theft or something and was "offered" contract. Apparently cops get 100000 rub reward for one guy who they "convince". https://meduza.io/feature/2025/07/13/dozhd-18-letnego-dagestantsa-saida-murtazalieva-pod-pytkami-zastavili-podpisat-kontrakt-na-fronte-on-propal https://meduza.io/feature/2025/07/13/dozhd-18-letnego-dagest...

- throwaway290 1y agoSorry how is it related to russia forcing draftees into contract to be sent to frontlines again?
- strcat 1y agoOur lead developer wasn't conscripted by Russia and I wanted to make sure that was clear to everyone.
- throwaway290 1y agoWell OK but this argument is about narrative about russia "not using draftees in the war anymore". Not all comments on this page are about your developer.
