The Russian Mindset and Where it Comes From - Historian Sir Antony Beevor
"The reports of some of the horrors which are being committed by soldiers who've returned, who've been even more traumatized by what they've been through, are pretty horrific. So should we say the social consequences of the war in Russia are going to be pretty devastating."
Historian Antony Beevor warned that Russian soldiers returning from Ukraine, particularly those recruited from prisons, are becoming further dehumanized and committing horrific crimes in civilian society. He noted that Russia's historical pattern of treating soldiers as disposable, combined with current brutal practices like strapping landmines to conscripts' chests, is creating traumatized veterans whose impact will devastate Russian society for years.
