So either Putin had a change of heart in his approach to criminal justice during the war, and decided to grant a massive amnesty or institute more lenient criminal punishments (coming from a country which just recently banned Russians from using Telegram or VPNs), or 180,000 former Russian prisoners are now blooming sunflowers in the fields of Ukraine. Hmm, I wonder which one it is…

Because of a reduction in crime? Right?

Wonder where they all went

If this is true you have to wonder why there aren’t more reports of fragging officers.

The US clearly needs more wars if this is all it takes!

Ah, Russia’s own Dirlewanger Brigade.

That’ll happen when you go from the gulag straight to the western front. Putin may have that new Christian Fascist look, but he still holds dearly to Stalin’s old smell of force marching shock troops to their death by the thousands at the barrel end of a gun.

Think of how many single Russian women there are. Putin’s a genius, he’s going to make so much money.

Are they sending their Sardaukar to fight in Ukraine?

Out of that 180,000, a few will survive miraculously and released back to population where they will cause more crimes and death to regular people.

Ran out of soldiers, I figure… And, assuming that probably over 50% of them were imprisoned for political or suppressive reasons, the rest is obvious

What a coincidence.

I wonder if other countries would follow suit if things got really crazy?

Pretty smart move for Putin really. Drains Ukrainian fighting power and stabilizes rule at home. Doesn’t matter how many people Ukraine kills if Putin wanted them dead anyways.

That’s one way to clean up the prison population! Using prisoners to fill up the military, you can die in the war or be free after serving time in the military
Any way you look at it, it reduces the number of prisoners inside jail quite massively with Putin’s Serve & be killed or released & be free later after serving a given time fighting in the war..

They’re all dead or wounded by now. Shipped to the front. With 1.2 million Russian casualties, including dead wounded and missing, that’s only 15% of the total.

that’s great.

The number of deaths this dude is accountable for is pretty astounding. I hope he meets them all in the afterlife. Or has to relive all their lives as punishment for the next million years.

Putins ‘eugenics program’, who’s next?
You know, if we started with anyone stupid enough to volunteer, we’d make Russia smarter.
Ok, done that one too. Eventually it will be ‘those too stupid to leave Russia or hide from authorities.’

Wait, does that finally mean the US has the number prison population in the world?!?!

Hell is actually located here. No extra steps.

That is 180K KIA confirmed dead essentially.

As long as Putin can keep sending “undesirables” like prisoners to die in Ukraine instead of young men from Russia’s largest cities, I have to imagine he’ll continue to have support for this war.
