Der Kampf, den Russland noch nicht geführt hat: Die psychische Gesundheit seiner Kriegsveteranen

Medicine for that is vodka, it’s widely used for that purpose already from WW2 and is freely available all over the Russia. Yes, it has multiple side effects which all end up with lower life expectancy. But life in rural Russia in old age is not living worthy anyway, so it’s considered as benefit.

Lol. Russia was such a peaceful country until 2022. Not single war since WWII. Not a single war veteran until recently.

They arent intended to become veterans.

Smells like propaganda.

But then, maybe the writer is right and poorly treated PTSD is something that only exists in Russia.

But no, this article really smells like propaganda.

Daily business: come home beat your wife and mother the sh*t out and kill them. Then sent to front again. Repeat.

Why would Russia care about them? They already helped Russia to invade others, Kremlin doesn’t value them anymore.

Who cares?

The people’s mental health is not a problem for a country that doesn’t give a shit about its people.

“The mental health of terrorist,rapists and violent alcoholics,drug addicts and other scum that somehow survived invading Ukraine” – wtf you supposed to do with such people, they aren’t just mentally ill, they are worst kind of criminals, except they were legalized and encouraged by russian government.

And the Ukrainian soldiers (what is left of them) will return as good as new when all this is done, completely well adjusted, ready to be doctors and scientists? This is repulsive level of propaganda.

Both sides will face major societal problems for decades to come from the damaged people that survive and return from the front.

If Russia wins, what is left from Ukraine will turn into a far-right Nazi insane asylum ran by PTSDd, violent and war hardened psychopaths. If Ukraine wins Russia will probably face either a civil war or will be ran by a new violent and brutal “criminocracy” of PTSDd psychopaths.

Yeah man, let’s pardon a bunch of convicted rapists, murderers and what not and throw them straight into a literal war zone where they can freely indulge in their violent fantasies, there’s no way this can backfire

If I were a civilian living at the border I’d invest in some additional home security, those guys are known to go AWOL

Oh it’s starting. They’re already coming back and doing about as well as you’d expect.

For some reason they’ve seen the Russian govt give no shit about the Afghanistan vets and the Chechen wars vets, but they thought “well they’ll take care of US though”.

Its not like they care about the soldiers.

The Ministry of Defense entered into a contract with Ruslan
Derbichev, who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and has a permanent
disability. about this spoke
Ivan Shukshin, the author of the Telegram channel with a register of
“terrorist extremists”, filled by RosFinMonitoring, . Derbichev’s
brother was previously on this register, was in contact with Shukshin
and therefore asked him to spread the story about sending a sick
relative to the front. He also sent photographs of medical certificates
containing his brother’s diagnoses. Derbichev’s main diagnosis
is “paranoid schizophrenia, episodic course with an increasing defect,
incomplete remission” – this is category D, unfit for military service.
One of the documents dated November 2021 states that the man needs to be
evacuated to a psychiatric hospital at his place of residence.
Moreover, Ruslan has had the second group of disability for an
indefinite period for 4 years now. By a court decision dated
November 24, 2023, Ruslan was deprived of his driver’s license; the
court indicated a diagnosis of “organic personality disorder of behavior
in connection with mixed diseases. Persistent pronounced psychological
syndrome.” The court argued that there was an “imminent threat to road
safety” and revoked his license. However, nothing prevented the
authorities from handing over weapons to such a person.

Russia will likely do what they did in the past: not providing for veterans and selling cheap liquor. Obviously, the war is detrimental to Russia’s economy and society.
