Grumblings in Russia over the time served on the frontline etc
"Hello. My name is __, I'm currently serving in military unit 122__ and I'm writing on behalf of a group of Russian military personnel. We hope that we will be able to stop the bad trend while we still have the opportunity.
Two days ago, the deputy political officer gathered the personnel and informed us verbally that our wives and mothers should not dare take part in any rallies to bring us home.
Moreover, they said that the FSB would monitor who was in the "protest groups" on social networks, and if they find anyone, there would be problems for both our family and for us.
So, our women and us, on the front lines in the trenches and mud, are being threatened by some office staff rats.
All our guys were very indignant at the order, and the political officer said that he did not like it either, but there was an order to inform everyone and warn us of our responsibility.
However, they did not force us to sign any papers, as would usually happen in such cases. Apparently, they are afraid that we will take pictures and share them with you and journalists.
The situation is absurd because we are all really fed up already and want to understand when we will come home, our wives also want to finally live normally as a full family and not wait for a funeral from one day to the next.
How are we and our wives worse than the cops and FSB officers? We do not see anything criminal in this (wives protesting), to return home is our only goal.
All this nonsense about the "hand of the CIA," CIPsO (Ukraine’s Special Forces Center for Information & Psychological Operations) and so on, the especially gifted can shove it up their asses, pardon my poor language.
Let them come here and tell us to our faces that our relatives are agents of the West, I would like to see it. I have honor."
“Yesterday we were informed about new measures, they said that wives who go to rallies will be detained and fined, for petitions and activity in social networks there will be a charge of discreditation (of the Russian army).
We, contract servicemen, were threatened that husbands of especially active women would end up in the Storm detachment (penal unit). We are now in the Kherson direction, where it's hot (heavy fighting), so it's a one-way ticket.
I don't know what to do with all this, I really want to go home, **** all this. If they take our wives, it's scary to imagine how it could end, we won't tolerate it.”
Recognizing the severity of the problem, the Kremlin fascists are trying to mitigate the situation by bribing military spouses not to protest.
Putin may find himself in a true conundrum - they can’t continue to bribe the spouses not to protest, nor can they risk arresting the military spouses.
Since there are over 400,000 families in Russia whose men are occupying Ukraine, this problem could turn into a catalyst of significant domestic developments in Russia.
