Everyone should open the link - it is quite unbelievable for any western reader, but the video tells it all.
Or almost all:
The reason why wounded and sick soldiers are sent back to the front to die:
- They won't need to be taken care of, not even after the war ends.
- A more significant reason is that if they were sent home after receiving hospital treatment, they would reveal the truth about what is actually happening on the front and how miserable the state of this "victorious and brave army" really is.
Soldiers killed in this manner have their daily allowances taken, as they are not officially reported as dead for a long time:
- The commanding officers pocket the daily allowances.
- The command doesn't have to officially report the actual number of losses.
Later on, these "ghost units" are reported as missing. Since they are missing, they can be accused of desertion or something similar. In any case, their families are not entitled to compensation "because the body was not found."
The higher leadership is aware of this system but does nothing to stop it because it suits them: Fresh blood is sent to the front, the system keeps running, and all the paperwork is in order, so no foul play can be proven.
All the cogs in the machine must run together. That is how the machine moves forward and it is well-oiled – with bloody money.
These "dead souls" or "ghost units" were already in use in the czar army - nothing new in the Russian machinery.

Also, most of the trolls know all this, but as long as they/he spread the most disgusting rumours and lies, he himself
doesn't have to go to the frontlines.
And the
trolls get paid according to how many comments they can create - that is why they act and write totally against all reason.
And then there are also "the useful idiots" as Lenin called them.
Yes, the machinery has many levels.
