Letter #1
"Hello. My name is __, I'm currently serving in military unit 122__ and I'm writing on behalf of a group of Russian military personnel. We hope that we will be able to stop the bad trend while we still have the opportunity.
The day before yesterday, the deputy political officer gathered the personnel and informed us verbally that our wives and mothers should not dare take part in any rallies to bring us home. Moreover, they said that the FSB would monitor who was in the "protest groups" on social networks, and if they find anyone, there would be problems for both our family and for us.
