Berlin: As a way to balance President Vladimir Putin’s campaign of classic family responsibilities with the need for freshmen for the Ukrainian conflict, the Russian military is expanding the role of women.
The military has expanded its appeal to women, including efforts to recruit female prisoners in jails, in a much smaller way than the military has done to attract adult prisoners. In exchange for a year of front-line jobs, six current and former prisoners in three different regions of Russia, according to six people currently and former prisoners in various regions of Russia, managers in military clothes toured Russian prison for women in the fall of 2023.
The people claimed that a large number of inmates from those prisons have applied for or signed military contracts, which suggests a wider efforts to recruit female prisoners.
It’s not just prisoners. Russian military selection advertising today include people.
People are also recruited by a pro-Kremlin military force in Ukraine. In a March advertisements in Russia’s Tatarstan place, it was stated that” combat experience and defense specialties are not necessary.” It provided education and a$ 4, 000 sign-up benefit. ” We have one objective- victory”!
Putin has placed ladies at the core of this perspective, portraying them as kid- bearers, mothers and wives guarding the nation’s cultural cooperation. In a speech on March 8, Putin said,” The most important thing for every woman is the household,” regardless of the career she has chosen or the hills she has climbed. These conflicting policies that seek to attract women into the military to complete a need but give conflicting signals about the roles women you believe there have been brought about by these opposing military and cultural priorities.
” I have gotten used to the fact that I am often looked at like a monkey- like,’ Wow, she’s in fatigues!'” Ksenia Shkoda, a native of central Ukraine and a member of the pro-Russian forces since 2014, remarked.
Some female volunteers are unable to enter Ukraine. The six former and current prisoners claim that the convicts who enlisted in late 2023 have not yet been drafted for combat. For fear of retribution, they spoke under the condition of anonymity.
