In Russia, they made a map of which regions most often bring cargo 200 from Ukraine
Cargoes 200 practically do not come to cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Analysts of the BBC Russian Service and Mediazone have compiled their own "cargo 200" map. They analyzed how much more often Russian servicemen return home from the war in Ukraine in coffins or packages. They found that the risk of dying in a war is higher among residents of the outskirts and national republics.
They emphasized that the map is based on officially confirmed data on the death of military personnel from the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The death of 4940 Russian soldiers has now been officially confirmed. These are the people whose identity has been verified, their names and surnames are known, local authorities and the media spoke about them, - the analysts explained the figures.
At the same time, they admit that the real death toll could be much higher.
Based on their official information, they draw attention to the fact that the record belongs to Dagestan, 245 funerals arrived there, immediately followed by Buryatia, where 224 people were buried.
In the Krasnodar Territory - 170 people, Chechnya (119 people), Bashkiria (144 people), Altai Territory (106 people), Tatarstan (99 people), North Ossetia (89 people), Tyva (84 people). High figures are also in the Volgograd and Orenburg regions. (142 and 122 dead), the material says.
The article says that significant losses in the ethnic republics of Russia led to the birth of "a grassroots anti-war movement that has nothing to do with the former opposition" precisely there.
Experts believe that such figures can be explained by the poverty of the regions. People in the outback have nowhere to work and they are tempted by the promised money go to seize foreign lands.
For his part, political scientist Abbas Gallyamov, a former official of the Russian government and the administration of Bashkiria, believes that this situation is also due to the illiteracy of the population of the hinterland of Russia. Such people are easier to manage, they will not raise riots.
The ideal contingent is illiterate and poorly speaking Russian villagers. Their fellow villagers will silently bury them, no one will write about it on social networks, so the political damage will be minimal. Although, in fact, deferred risks are increasing - in the national republics, all this will contribute to the growth of separatist sentiments. But it’s not now, but sometime later, and no one thinks about what will happen later, not before that, ”Gallyamov said.
