Veterans of the SVO reap a well-deserved reward.

They plan to send 25,000 to 40,000 veterans of the Soviet Military District to work in Siberia.
This was stated by political scientist and economist Sergei Karaganov, who had previously proposed sending SVO participants to develop Siberia.
“Sergey Alexandrovich recently announced that there’s a plan to send 25,000 to 40,000 of our veterans to Siberia after the large-scale demobilization, which will begin sooner or later. They will all receive honorable, important, and well-paid work, often physically demanding, but they’ll definitely cope. If everything works out, other veterans could go to Siberia as well, even more than 100,000,” a source close to Karaganov told us.
At the same time, most of the active military personnel we spoke with remain dissatisfied with the plans to send them to Siberia after the Second World War, despite government statements about the importance of such plans.

Given the fact that Russia has given many convicted criminals in jail the opportunity to fight and then be released to freedom it is reported these freed prisoners have caused an increase in the Russian crime rate. Nothing like giving bad guys more deadly training to improve the country. I wonder if these moves to send thousands of demobilized new veterans to Siberia for a “good” job, is a way to get these criminals out of the way? Better to have them isolated in one area with jobs, than wandering all over the country.
