The first option is objectively suitable for few, and obtaining a discharge is nearly impossible. Consequently, amid mounting losses and inhumane treatment from commanders, more and more soldiers are coming to the conclusion that a prison term for desertion is preferable to inevitable death on the front lines. Nikita Sologub discusses a paradoxical legal practice that has developed in Russia in the fifth year of the "SVO": people beg investigators to open criminal cases against them and hire lawyers to defend their legal right to go to prison—but even this doesn't always help.
