Russia is now telling soldiers that they will be "resurrected"

The Eastern Orthodox Church is pretty much hand in hand with Putin et al, and they're now, through media, telling people that soldiers who suffered fatal wounds are being resurrected on the battlefield in hopes that this will spur enlistment.

Estimates are that Russia has suffered between 300,000 to 450,000 soldiers lost in battle in Ukraine.

I'm really hoping the Russian people are smarter than this.

I suspect many of them are too smart to believe this, but at least some subset of them are also smart enough to recognize that you don't go saying that anywhere someone can hear it and have it get back to the Kremlin that you have, in fact, volunteered for the army, whether you said such things or not.

At a certain point, if it hasn't already happened, there's likely going to be conscription.
