    I wonder what that course is called?

    University administrators have also begun using academic performance as leverage in the recruitment campaign: students who are struggling academically are threatened with expulsion if they refuse to sign a special one-year contract with the military. If they do sign, however, they can have their academic debt written off and receive a custom learning plan upon return from the front. Human rights advocates warn that the promised “one-year contract” does not exist in Russian law, and that the document in question is legally no different from a standard open-ended military contract.

          Well, no. At some point you lose so many that you can no longer support the war materially. It sounds like Russia is at that point already, or it is approaching it.

      There’s not even a definitive service period. All people who serve now shall continue to serve until the war officially ends or laws are changed. I can’t express how much I want those f’ckers to go down.
