The village of Mulino in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod region is a major training center for soldiers — both contract servicemen and conscripts — heading to the war in Ukraine. The local soldiers, however, are not known for their “feats” on the battlefield, but for the way they terrorize the village: they set fire to a church in April this year, and cut off a cab driver’s finger in June. The military’s incessant drinking and rampaging has become a real nightmare for the locals. Mulino residents have even asked the Nizhny Novgorod governor to enforce a “dry law” and keep the military from leaving their bases, but neither seems likely to happen anytime soon.
So many down votes today. Russian bot migration to Lemmy started.
