“Guys die for nothing.” Buryatia’s losses in the war. What will the mobilization result in?

#cargo200 #buryatia #losses
On September 21 Vladimir Putin announced mobilization in Russia. People are taken to the war from all over the country. Most of them are not from big cities of central Russian regions, but from small places in the Urals, Siberia, and Far East.
Even before the mobilization began, Buryatia was 2nd among Russian regions by the number of losses in the war in Ukraine. It is hard to find a town or village in Buryatia that hasn’t received a dead body.
Our film shows stories of several families who lost their sons. How do parents of dead soldiers answer the question what this war is for? Are they ready to keep sending their children, husbands and brothers to the front? What shall they die for? Watch this documentary by IStories.
