Except there is no draft, my extremely online guy.
Russian rural villagers get offered insane sign-up bonuses and treat going to the front as a solid business enterprise. City guys stay away from this.
Ordinary Russian society, like when I walk into the aforemntioned bookstore, has long checked out from following war progress or lack thereof. Which is why it goes for so long and there's little sign of discontent.
Economic pain did not materealize for us and reading various foreigners seethe only added up to indifference. The war is considered gladiator games for utter retards: Russian alcoholic villagers vs crazy hohols.
That's how Americans wage their colonial wars, and the Kremlin learned.
