🇷🇺 Discipline in the Russian army has never been a strong suit, but since the mass conscription of convicts began in the fall of 2022, the military has been unraveling at alarming speed. The longer the war goes on, the harder it becomes to impose order.

The Insider“I ran out of the dugout just in time to see the convict chasing a soldier with an axe”: Russian servicemen on the army’s degradationDiscipline in the Russian army has never been a strong suit, but since the mass conscription of convicts began in the fall of 2022, the military has been unraveling at alarming speed. The longer the war goes on, the harder it becomes to impose order. In April 2025, a group of soldiers fled their battalion commander after he threatened to execute them. In May, the wife of a contract soldier who had deserted under similar threats said that he was forcibly returned to the front, beaten, then put into a penal unit. There are hundreds of such cases that are publicly known. Russia’s military prosecutor’s office has received thousands of complaints about executions and beatings of service members, and the list is growing. Meanwhile, those returning from the frontlines are increasingly being prosecuted in new criminal cases. Drunken brawls have become more frequent. Corporal punishment is now a routine part of the “disciplinary process.” The Insider spoke with officers and enlisted men who served in Ukraine. They described how commanders are using increasingly harsh — and often futile — measures to maintain discipline.
