In interviews conducted by The Insider, people recounted their accounts of clashes with parents who resorted to threats of psychiatric hospitalization and involvement of the FSB, attempted to enforce military service, and accused them of “consorting with fascists.”

    It’s sad to see how many parents seem to be perfectly fine with sending their sons into the meat grinder for a man that wouldn’t even piss on them if they were on fire.
