Мобилизованные — о побеге с фронта в Финляндию, угрозах командиров, штурмах и ПТСР

Marfa Smirnova spoke with Russian deserters Alexander and Artem. They were mobilized in the fall of 2022 and soon found themselves in an assault unit, where they encountered the indifferent attitude of commanders, the resetting of their service records, and the deaths of their comrades. Wounded, they decided to flee, covering more than three thousand kilometers and illegally crossing the border into Finland. Now they are awaiting review of their asylum applications—and the outcome could be anything, as the EU now plans to no longer provide protection to deserters.
