"They do not imagine where they are." As the war see most Russian mercenaries - the head of The Insider

… In fact, there are probably some third of the population… In general, out of the information order. If they have the President of Ukraine - Lukashenko, then it means that in fact this person does not listen to Skabev with a nightingale, he does not understand them; And even more so, he does not understand the independent media. He is in his own world and in his ordinary life it is not interested in anyone, because he does not face power, ”he said.

The editor -in -chief of The Insider added that the son of "one of these people" can be forced to fight in Ukraine "and at this point it turns out that they do not know what is happening and how it happened. " “It all applies to a fairly large part of the population. Even a third of the Russian population is tens of millions of people. And from such people to recruit an army (either from the term, or from contractors) can be quite large, ”Dobrokhotov said.

He suggested that 99% of those who went to fight in Ukraine, "this is about Lukashenko, Bandera. " “They just do not imagine where they are going on in Ukraine. They offered money, they seemed interesting, they have a fantastically boring, poor, poor life and for them it is some "adventure". That's what we need to deal with, I think.

In this sense, the mission and independent media, and bloggers, activists are to reach these people too, and try to explain to them in a clear language, and what really happens at all, not to live in your bubble, ”said the editor -in -chief The Insider. In early June, The Wall Street Journal reported that hundreds of soldiers had been released in Russia due to the refusal to participate in the war against Ukraine in the early stages. WSJ spoke with Russian soldier Albert Sakhibgarev.
