I genuinely think that Stalin's purges back in the day led to a genetic shift towards compliance, as most that stuck their head out got shot.
Even now, if you look at a population graph of Russia, you see waves of lower population ages due to the soldiers that died in WWII not going on to start families. Why not a similar effect from the purges?
Edit: also, previous conscription waves targeted ethnic minorities and poor folks. As with everywhere else, nobody gives a fuck about poor people.
The 90s were apparently a pretty horrible time to grow up in Russia, and although they might not like Putin they liked the chaos of the 90s even more and fear the chaos that would arise if Putin disappears would be similar to the 90s and prefers the shitty life under Putin or something
They will get a bunch of new soldiers, throw them into the meat-grinder, maybe gain a few sqkm and then the battle front will freeze again. I just hope they fail before winter. Ukraine had a hard winter and they shouldn't be forced to have another.
Suck it pootles.
