How do you trick someone into fighting in a foreign war? Bribery and blackmail but deception?
From what ive heard (!) they are often offered “non-combat roles”, so they are being told that they would help in the war effort by doing white collar stuff or logistics far inland, away from the fighting. Once in russia, their passports are taken away and they are being told “tough luck, if you ever wanna leave and see some money, grab a rifle and storm that MG-nest”.
This aligns with what I read in an article several months ago as well.

In the hit feature film enemy at the gates.
I don’t know how factual that movie was or if it’s happening now though.
