This was reported to ASTRA by representatives of the "Free Yakutia" Foundation. According to their information, 28 soldiers are refusing to return to the front, and they are being held in Yakutsk's pre-trial detention center.

Violence and torture are being used against them, the foundation's representatives claim. Additionally, they are prohibited from using the toilet — instead, the soldiers have been given a plastic bottle and a bag.

The detained soldiers are also being forcibly subjected to the song "I Am Russian" by Shaman.
