So let me get this straight. Russia is taking criminals. Putting them in situations where either they die or learn how to use weapons to survive. Even if they do survive, the environment they were subjected to is so hostile that most survivors walk away with at least some form of mental trauma. Added to that is that a good percentage of the people already have substance abuse problems and lack impulse control.

Them to top it off you organize them into a for profit criminal gang led by a guy determined to be the next dictator of Russia....

Yeah this is going to be very very very bad even if the Ukrainians push the Russians out...
