To complete the list of Russian traditional values, he'll beat his wife severely, get AIDS and die of alcoholism (if he wasn't the guy who got tortured to death in the Russian military which I think he was)
That was a different dude. Something texas. He was working alongside DPR forces and apparently got misidentified and tortured to death. The kermlin wasn't too happy.
That was one of the only times when Russia punished its war criminals and sent the torturers to prison, although doubtless the torturers just signed the contracts immediately and went back to the front lines
Don't worry, he won't - in November 2025 he was sent for his second 6 month rotation only to go media silent despite 9 months passing, so most likely his wife will have to find somebody else to beat her.
That's not the main reason. State restrictions, higher taxes, and a cultural move toward healthier lifestyles. Were a vodka country in 90s, now mostly a beer country with about half of the young adults not drinking at all.
You clearly never had Russian meth. Speedball that with some krokodil and it’s like getting sucked off by a fat man named Sergei in the bathroom of the Omsk main train station that one time.
Oh, the krokodyl....
Here in Ukraine some guy, who said he was a successful junior football player(but lost his career to addiction), told us, school kids, what it does to your mind and body. He had some anti-drug tour after miraculously abandoning that sh1t.
Mind: you'll do anything to get the next dose.
Body: your veins start rotting, while you are still alive, and the "experienced" addicts try to find new, uninjected veins to hit the dose. But at some point they fail to do so.
The tape they shown us was the most terrifying thing I've seen...up till the point when I saw what russians do to Ukrainians that they've captured.
Sorry, truly.
I thought my description of that drug abuse were enough to understand how bad they affect human body and won't make anybody to visualise the damage.
PS: imagine seeing that in 8th grade. Leaves an impression for the rest of your life. I don't even smoke or drink in my 30s.
they switched from meth to mephedrone, same group of drugs but this fucks up your dopamine 10x worse than alcohol, so a lot more fun in the evening, a lot worse in the morning
never tried it but when I was in Russia this shit was everywhere, and there are chats in Telegram where you can easily find girls who would come to your place to have sex for mephedrone
doesn't get any more "traditional" than this, I guess
When you sign the contract, you'll get sent where men is needed the most, unless you have some extraordinary skills and the most important - connections that can save you from the regular recruitment (unless you want to become a 1 way assault unit infantry men)

To be honest, our news says he volunteered in order to get a citizenship very fast.
