"Heroes" and "traitors": Russian soldiers motivated by bulletin boards of honour and shame

In a Russian field camp on the border with Ukraine, photos posted on one board show portraits of "good" Russian soldiers who are eager to fight, while another board is dotted with portraits of "bad" soldiers, who refuse to serve in the war against Ukraine.

Leviev's quote: "The Russian troops’ field camp on the border with Ukraine. Literally, ‘bad/good man’. Portraits of those who refuse to go to war against Ukraine will hang on the first stand."

Details : The CIT expert posted a photo of two stands. One of them is red with a star and an inscription which reads: "They heroically perform missions defending their homeland." The other board is grey with the inscription: "They betrayed their comrades, fled the battlefield." 

Each stand has space for photos of 15 "heroes" and "traitors."
