Foreign Affairs

I suppose Putin (if he's still alive) will try to recreate the Soviet reeducation camps for them but those aren't going to work any better than throwing them all into prison for surviving instead of getting slaughtered for Mother Russia will.

I can see Russia surviving losing the war. I can see Russia surviving a collapsed economy. It's harder to see Russia surviving thousands of lied to, robbed, and brutalized soldiers coming home to face the same assholes in power. It's just not going to work out that well for the assholes.
