Russian soldiers and their wives are becoming increasingly unhappy with long deployments without rotation.
AdvertisementThe Kremlin is concerned that the disgruntled wives of conscripted soldiers unhappy with long deployments could become a significant political headache, reports say.
The Kremlin believes that most wives are more concerned about the paycheck than their husbands returning from war, the outlet reported.
The report comes after the wives of deployed soldiers held a rare public protest in Moscow on November 7.
