"It's absolute chaos here! The news makes everything look so good, so wonderful, but when I saw it in real life, I realized it's far from true!"
Prasol Ivan Aleksandrovich, born December 12, 1984, Primorsky Krai. 114th Regiment, 1st Battalion, 1st Company, 4th Platoon, 4th Squad. Callsign "Marcha." He was under surveillance; the cops forced him to sign a contract. There's a repressive mechanism in Russia called surveillance—you're required to constantly appear at a specific "agency" for a "conversation" with a specific "law enforcement officer." Your life, movements, and employment are restricted to the "authorities"—you're "on the hook," "under surveillance." Those under surveillance are very easily manipulated and forced to sign contracts for war through threats. It's the police who are responsible for recruiting thousands of contract soldiers every month for surveillance, loan debts, and other reasons for threatening state repression. Talks about the illegal prisons in Staromayorskoye where refuseniks are held.
"They're basically rotting there! They're wounded, but they're not being released. They're told, 'If you go back, we'll shoot at you.' And they just sit there in the basements, not knowing what to do."
