Using USSR-era cannon fodder tactics only works if you have USSR-era population numbers.
Bunch of conservatives here should head on over. Russia really is their end state.
Throwing two whole generations of men into meatgrinder will do that
Sadly, cynically, there’s still plenty of even poorer countries, some of which have thrown their lot in with Russia. There’ll be more lies and coercion to attract immigrants.
Still, nice to hear a glimmer of truth from the horse’s mouth.
GDP per capita of Russia is at about the global one. So there are a lot of alternatives for potential migrants. The biggest source for Russia is Central Asia and we are seeing a shift away from going to Russia in that region. For example the Uzbeks work with South Korea on 100k migrant visas.
Another huge part is that Russia is targeting migrant workers on a massive scale right now.
