1/ Female Russian soldiers are reportedly being subjected to sexual abuse and violence by male soldiers, and being pressured into becoming the "field wives" of officers, according to an account published by Radio Free Europe (RFE). ⬇️ Image
2/ RFE has published the account of a 42-year-old female soldier named Margarita, who has been undergoing psychiatric treatment back in Russia for her traumatic experiences during the war in Ukraine, where she served as a medic.
3/ She is one of about 40,000 women serving in the Russian Armed Forces, including over 4,000 in officer rank. That corresponds to 4 percent of Russian forces, and less than 1 percent of officers – a far lower ratio than in many other militaries. Many are in medical roles.

1/ Numerous Russian soldiers are ending up in hospital after being beaten, tortured or shot at by their officers, or mutilating themselves to escape the front lines, according to an account from a female Russian medic. ⬇️
2/ According to the medic, a woman named Margarita, she had to treat soldiers who had been subjected to violence by their own officers after refusing to go into combat. In one case, she says, they had been made to dig their own mass grave and lie in it while being shot at.
3/ "They dug a pit and then were forced to lie down in it," says Margarita. "Then others, at gunpoint, were forced to shovel in dirt from above."
