Counting the soldiers dying for Russia
It's also very interesting, because actually the recruitment of prisoners was pioneered by Wagner private military company. Its founder, Evgeny Prigozhin, he started recruiting from prisons quite successfully, and then later on he was moved away and the Russian Ministry of Defense picked up. We know that Wagner alone has recruited more than 50,000 criminals, 50,000 inmates from prisons.
