Pure Nazi crap. Complete with Lebensraum, pure military aggression, racism, supremacy dreams, "Gott mit uns" etc. they don't even try to hide it. Russia needs to be denazified. World's peace depends on it.

On the surface, this is sort of an uneventful little article about how Russia is offering opportunities for older more experienced personnel to "enter into a contract" to serve with the Russian Army- a/k/a go to Ukraine.
Not sure it plays that benignly on the home front. More likely a large number of Russians are thinking, "holy shiite, this is one step away from raising the age for conscripts and we could have a general mobilization at any time."
Yeh, well, indeed that would be something to worry about. Just when they were thinking that they were old enough to be able to skate out and around this disastrous scenario. Some guys might be able to sign up with their sons and go to Ukraine and play Russian World. Be sure to wave your Russian flag and call home to the family to let them know how things are going.
Russia may scrap age limits for soldiers to bolster Ukraine invasion force

Disney, Warner, Sony and other production companies have halted the release of films in Russia, with Moscow cinemas now re-running old Hollywood blockbusters and premiering Chinese action movies.
“We will be lucky if we make it till autumn without shutting down. People simply don’t want to go to see The Wolf of Wall Street for the fifth time,” said the manager of a popular cinema in central Moscow, referring to the 2013 Martin Scorsese movie that is currently being reshown on some screens in the capital.

Well that's one nuisance gone.
'We Have to Buy Everything’: Russian Soldiers Under-Equipped In Ukraine War
Russian soldiers preparing to be sent to fight in Ukraine are required to buy personal equipment at their own expense, according to several servicemen who spoke to The Moscow Times’ Russian Service on condition of anonymity.
Some of the items apparently not provided by the army include footwear, body armor, bandages and tourniquets.
One Russian soldier who was in Ukraine at the beginning of the war told The Moscow Times that the shoes and clothing with which he was issued weren’t winter gear.
“I got frostbite on both my feet,” he said. “In Ukraine we were always freezing, day or night, and I was always thinking about how to get warm.”

Spoke today with a Russian person who works in one of the biggest cities, in a big bank on a higher level position.
That person said: we have a lot of problems. Programs are not working anymore like they should. We have to work again like we did 30 years ago. The whole system is collapsing.
This person has a university degree and confirms that all people that he/she studied with, know exactly what is really happening in Ukraine. The only problem is that protesting is impossible because of the huge surpression on them. If they arrest you, your life, and that from your family, is ruined.
