- Former Russian international footballer Aleksej Boegaev, who played in the 2004 UEFA European Championship, has been reported dead in the ongoing war with Ukraine.

Former Russian international footballer Aleksej Boegaev, aged 43, has tragically been reported dead in the conflict with Ukraine. Boegaev, who participated in the 2004 UEFA European Championship in Portugal, faced off against renowned players such as Luis Figo of Portugal and Angelos Charisteas of Greece. After the championship, Boegaev's career took a downturn, leading him to retire as a footballer at the age of 29.

In September, Boegaev was sentenced to 9.5 years in prison for his involvement in a drug case. However, he chose to serve his sentence by joining the frontlines. His lawyer confirmed his death, making him one of the 427,000 Russian casualties reported by the Ukrainian military this year.

The Russian army is experiencing significant losses in its quest for territorial gains before January 20, when Donald Trump is projected to become the U.S. president again. The recruitment agencies in Russia are struggling to fill the void left by the casualties, leading the Kremlin to seek alternative methods to enlist soldiers. Convicts like Boegaev have been able to volunteer for the frontline since 2022, and even those in custody have the option to join to avoid charges.

Recent reports indicate a rising trend where individuals facing legal issues opt for military service to evade penalties. The harsh conditions of Russian prisons are cited as a major factor prompting people to choose the war over incarceration.

Russian authorities are resorting to creative tactics inspired by popular culture, such as the television series 'Squid Game', to incentivize recruitment. Russian debtors are being offered debt forgiveness in exchange for military service in Ukraine.

The recruitment pool now includes not only convicts but also politicians and officials facing corruption charges, sparking debates about the ethics of such practices within the nation.

While corrupt officials like former mayors have expressed their readiness to serve in exchange for freedom, critics argue that those who have committed crimes against the state should not be granted amnesty to fight in wars.

Meanwhile, former Olympic gold medalist Andrei Perlov finds himself entangled in a fraud case and is pressured to join the military despite his age. The tactics employed to involve individuals like Perlov in combat highlight the challenges faced by those entangled in legal battles amidst the ongoing conflict.
