#Russia_mobilization: Some Russian economists argue that newly recruited Russian soldiers can survive at a rate of 35-50%. Drawing on this assumption, I outlined my working hypothesis explaining the factors behind the eventuality of low recruit survivability (THREAD):⤵️
1) I explain the survivability capacity of the new Russian soldiers recruited through the economic-educational nexus. 2) In short, if you are deciding to leave Russia (and you manage to achieve this goal despite all odds), this shows that you have a certain degree of income,⤵️
for which you need to be educated (there is no other way to find fast and efficient solutions to flee Russia). 3) Thus, those who leave are rather educated (and with means, which also includes life experience). 4) At the same time, relatively young recruits (who joined the⤵️
mobilization by force or voluntarily) lack both sufficient means & higher education, respectively. As a result, they are more difficult to train into resilient soldiers (higher degree of survivability). This decreases their chances of survival in the aggression against Ukraine.⤵️
