According to two Russian soldiers interviewed by a pro-invasion blogger, if you wear a Russian military uniform on the metro in Moscow people distance themselves and give you dirty looks.

Could be that civilians don't want to be near them because they are scared. Russian soldiers returning from Ukraine are committing all sorts of violent crimes.

I mean would YOU want to be within 20' feet of someone who has a high likelihood of being drunk, suffering from PTSD, and a member of an especially violent and brutal military force?

Don't forget that they might be rapists and murderers.

Plus they rape. A lot.

Mostly Wagner mercenaries

For those who downvote: mostly doesn't mean only, and Wagner mercs were criminals even before they became mercs

You deserve a downvote, because that "mostly" is just baseless guess/assumption.

Maybe it's guessed because one returned merc killed old lady, other killed his wife and another two killed six people and burned their houses.

Or maybe because drafted are not returning because Shoigu won't let them go.

Maybe it’s guessed because one returned merc killed old lady, other killed his wife and another two killed six people and burned their houses.

So, that's "most" based on what data?

Or maybe because drafted are not returning because Shoigu won’t let them go.

They're not let go, but they are being rotated.
