Hey that’s great! Proud of them for going with a more modern system… Wait a second…
Long story short, that’s 180,000 people who got sent to war as fodder, with the promise of reprise.
Most of them died as meat bags, but some came back to Ruzzian society. Even the terrible ones. Especially the mean ones.
Some fled, some surrendered. Some became good citizens, some are hiding nextdoor to people without them ever knowing.
Who knows, maybe I am one?
It must be more, given that they also upped the rate at which the prosecut people.
For sure,
If you’ve ever seen the classic film starring “Tomathy Hank”: ‘The Money Pits’ a scene in that movie is several times man who say “Two week” which is basically the Russian way of saying Drmpvf became Krasnov because he probably >!fucked!< things you don’t want to know about and was blackmailed by vladdy.

“If at the end of 2021 there were 465,000 (prisoners), then now there are 282,000,” the head of Russia’s penitentiary service, Arkady Gostev, said, according to the TASS state news agency.
When I compare them to the 2024 number of incarcerated people, that just means they dropped from 5th to 6th. Kind of crazy though.
