“No need to be shy!”
How do contract soldiers live in the frontline zone? A year ago, Mikhail Ryabov from the Irkutsk region left for the Northern Military District. Soon he began sending videos from there about his cheerful, comfortable life: how he rode in a car with girls, smoked butter and counted thick stacks of five thousand dollar bills. He once sent one hundred thousand rubles to his wife Christina and their three children and then filed a complaint with the bank about the transfer, demanding the money back.
