According to the report, faced with mounting losses in Ukraine, the Russian government is stepping up its tactics of forced mobilization, targeting prisoners, conscripts, ethnic minorities from remote regions of the country, as well as Central Asian migrants, to bolster its depleted military. According to eyewitness accounts collected by the Siberian Realities portal, male prisoners in prisons in the Volga region - Tatarstan and Bashkortostan, as well as in Siberia, are routinely beaten, psychologically tortured, and threatened in an attempt to force them to serve in the military.
The once overcrowded prisons are now gradually emptying. Many suspects never go to trial or prison, Romanova said. “The police are now empowered – and encouraged – to offer military contracts even to those accused of minor crimes.” Since launching a full-scale invasion war against Ukraine in February 2022, Russia has sent tens of thousands of soldiers to the front lines. Both sides have suffered heavy casualties in the four-year-long conflict.
Such heavy losses have forced the Russian government to look for ways to replace soldiers who have died on the front lines. Olga Romanova also said that as part of this tactic, police officers are also given bonuses for each new recruit they recruit. In 2023, she said, the amount was 10,000 rubles. Now, it is 100,000 rubles, or about $1,125: “For comparison, the average monthly salary of a provincial police officer is about 40,000 rubles. So you can imagine the scale of the pressure.” According to him, 90 prisons in Russia have been closed since 2023 due to the mass conscription of prisoners to war. In October 2024, President Vladimir Putin signed a law allowing prisoners to sign military contracts before being brought to trial.
Evil Putin, he might send the children to war if his country runs out of mature people to fight Ukraine. Ukraine has not sent its prisoners to war. Putin should surrender. Pitiful prisoners, they will die in the battle. They lack skills in the battlefield.
