A prisoner of the Yaroslavl IK-2 told Mediazona that today 373 people who agreed to go to war were taken from three colonies in the region.
According to him, 110 people were taken from the second colony, all the rest from IK-12 (Rybinsk) and IK-3 (Uglich). The prisoner clarified that he learned about this from the words of one of the Wagner PMC commanders, who came to the colony on August 23. The volunteers were taken to Yaroslavl, where three Il-76 planes were waiting for them, he added.
“Murderers and robbers are primarily interested in us — you will like it here.” It seems that Yevgeny Prigozhin personally recruits mercenaries in the colonies

The first reports that Wagner PMCs were recruiting prisoners to go to war appeared as early as early July. Mediazona found out that Yevgeny Prigozhin himself traveled to Russian colonies, and talked with a prisoner who joined the group.
“We were promised that half a year and an amnesty.” Mediazona spoke with a prisoner who joined Wagner PMC
