There’s an issue regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine specific to Russian society that pitons gonna have to put up with regardless of the outcome of the war. It’s that there’s a shitload of soldiers (mostly prisoners and career soldiers) that are not going to be putting up with whatever excuses the Russian federal system has for why their lives are utter garbage post deployment. The USA already gets flak for treating its marines like shit since social services there already suck and are scarce, but in a country like Russia, finding so much so as someone that won’t make fun of you for seeking government aid itself is already rare. This shit isn’t new to Russian history—most mafia groups directly formed after the world wars and the revolution anyways. I don’t see Ukraine being any different—this time anyways since this far from isn’t the first Russo Ukraine war in history. Personally I don’t think this will balloon into a total social collapse or something too too serious, but it could shake things up regarding domestic security with the drones, militias, and assault rifles casually everywhere. Just this year, apparently 500 confirmed instances of veteran-specific violent crimes against normal people occurred in that country.
Is this information a nothing-burger for Russia at large? Most likely
