Moscow teens become Putin's cannon fodder | Break the Fake https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/7160f4a5-5e0b-4c29-97f1-129a99f97c03 Moscow police rounded up between 100 and 300 young people, including minors, during a mass sweep in the city center. But what exactly were these teenagers guilty of? Dyed hair, alternative clothing, and the unfortunate habit of gathering with friends. Apparently, in Putin's Russia, that is now enough to make you a threat to national security. Detainees reported beatings, hours spent in police vans without water or access to a bathroom, and no explanation for their detention. Those over 18 received an even more disturbing surprise: draft notices and pressure to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense. Nothing like a little police intimidation to help you discover your patriotic calling. As Russia struggles to recruit enough soldiers for its war against Ukraine, the strategy is becoming increasingly creative. When propaganda and promises of high salaries fail, the police can always step in. In today's Russia, you don't even have to volunteer for war. Sometimes, all it takes is the wrong haircut and a birthday that puts you over 18. Watch the latest episode of Break the Fake with Don Arleth to see how Russia's desperate recruitment machine is turning against its own young people.
