Oleksandr with the call sign “Fortuna”, chief of staff of the Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC), told online.ua that the corps is recruiting Russian prisoners of war. An important factor in such selection is the sincerity of the prisoner's desire to fight.
Captured Russians and joining the Soviet Union
“Fortuna” says that recently the practice of Russian prisoners of war expressing a desire to join the ranks of the RDC has become more frequent.
There is one very important point here, which is probably globally one of the most important in this history of communication with prisoners. If a person who was captured and has the status of a prisoner of war refused to be exchanged, he does not have many scenarios for the development of his further life.
If such a person refuses to exchange, he waits for the war's end and works, or he goes to fight.
Since POW camps have a prison-like environment, I don't mean in terms of keeping people, of course, but in terms of how they interact internally with each other, rumors spread very quickly in this environment.
According to “Fortuna”, when prisoners learn that someone has entered the RVC, they begin to say that they, too, would like to join.
Here comes a very important moment — our task is to understand how sincere a person is. That is, how much he really wants to get to us to fight, and not just to get to us to go to this very conditional freedom, just not to sit somewhere, but to have the opportunity, I don't know, to look at the sun, to go somewhere other than the place where it is located.
The RVC is doing quite a lot of work to separate those people who just want to “hang out” from those who really want to get to the front and fight.
