Det trista för dem är att de inte ens blir tilldelade denna utrustning, utan de måste bekosta den själva för ~33.000 kronor, när de ska inkräkta i Ukraina och dö för Dear Leader...

Prices of bulletproof vests have dramatically increased in Russia over the past two weeks, with some stores hiking up the prices by more than ten times, local media reported. In total, a soldier looking to purchase a full uniform appropriate for fighting in Ukraine have to spend roughly $3,000 out of pocket, the [Russian] Baza news outlet reported.

Newly mobilised Russian troops need possibly thousands of dollars to buy everything from socks to bulletproof vests. But not to worry – Russia's microcredit industry can help!
Nothing could go wrong for needy soldiers seeking money from Russia's predatory, gangsterised microcredit industry, right?

Incidentally, don't think that the soldier's death would clear the debt. The debt collectors will come after his relatives, friends and even his employer or employees. One collector in Rostov-on-Don threatened to blow up a kindergarten if an employee didn’t repay his loan.

Och att ryzkt skräp är... skräp bör väl knappast komma som någon överraskning?
