Analysis on "Suicides in the Russian Army" PART II

Not so long ago, 100 cases of suicides of 🇷🇺Russian soldiers on the territory of 🇺🇦Ukraine were documented. In this tread you can read a detailed analysis of this phenomenon

Would be grateful if you share this post

In total, I documented 105 such cases

▪️ 67 - committed with firearms (AK)
▪️ 36 - blew themselves up with a grenade
▪️ 1 - used a knife
▪️ 1 - decided to lie down near the fire...

If we talk about the frontline areas where they did this, we get the following:

▪️ Donetsk region - 65
▪️ Luhansk region - 14
▪️ Zaporizhzhia region - 12
▪️ Kharkiv region - 9
▪️ Kherson region - 5

Each of these regions can be divided into certain sectors

If we talk about the Donetsk region, the trend of increasing suicides continues here (~62% were committed here), especially in the Chasiv Yar and Pokrovsk sectors

Here 🇷🇺troops are conducting active offensive actions and suffering heavy losses

The first documented suicide of a Russian invader is dated 23rd November 2022.

Interestingly, 81 such cases have already been recorded since the beginning of 2024, which is three times more than at the end of 2022 (3) + 2023 (21)

And 2024 is still ongoing...

When we talk about why the Russians are doing this

1. Hopelessness that their comrades will rescue them. The Russians always say that they will not abandon their own, but it turns out that they often do.

2. Propaganda scaring them about torture in captivity

Summer Festival of Suicides⛱️

The number of suicides increased the most during the summer.

Over 3 months, 41 such cases were documented (39% of the total)

June - 1 suicide every 2.3 days
July - 1 suicide every 2.2 days
August - 1 suicide every 1.9 days (in 27 days)

''Destroying the enemy is a craft, but making him shoot himself is an art''

An interesting fact is that Russians committed suicide in 2024 (in 240 days)
1 suicide every ~3 days

❗️For comparison, in 2023
1 suicide every ~17.4 days

I would like to give you a small top list of the units that filmed the most suicides

1. 3rd Assault Brigade - 7
2. 79th Brigade - 5
3. 108th Battalion, 10th Brigade - 4
3. 118th Mech Brigade - 4
3. 47th Mech Brigade - 4
3. 116th Mech Brigade - 4

There are a large number of videos filmed by an unknown unit or from different angles by different units.

Thank you for reading. Here is the video from 1st to 65th

I'd like to thank everyone who helps research this trend, including the Reddit (Drone Combat) and TG communities.
