«Нас называли биомусором». Исповедь дезертира из ДНР

Sergei Ivanenko was 19 years old when the war in Donbas began. He spent the next eight years building his life in Donetsk: he graduated from university, then worked while fighting raged around him, and his comrades, desperate, enlisted in the militia. Everything changed in February 2022 – he was conscripted into the Russian army. Now he tells how he refused to take up arms, how commanders forced him to "rob" civilians at checkpoints, and how Russian troops generally treated DPR soldiers – in a report by The Insider.
