    Should we be reading “foreign mercenaries” or “conscription rally”?

      I am guessing conscription because otherwise it’s going to go something like this.

      Step 1: Recruit mercenaries from all over the world(most of which have warmer climates than Russia).
      Step 2: Russian winter.
      Step 3: ???
      Step 4: Profit??

      At that number I guess people in jail should be worried.

      And regular people should then be worried how many more people will get put into jail.
