More and more Western mercs are running for their lives. Snip:

“Prozorov elaborated that foreign mercenaries complain about the incompetence of the Ukrainian command, their cowardice and betrayal, as fighters were thrown into useless attacks and “meat grinds” under Russian artillery.”

The former Ukrainian officer also pointed out that at least several hundred Neo-Nazis from all over the world came to fight for Kiev.

    Firstly, can you point to a particular work?
    Secondly, that will have to wait, as I have thousands of pages of other stuff to deal with first.
    Thirdly, I might have an idea what is being talked about, as, in particular, a lot of serfs did get forced to work for their prior landlords in effectively the same capacity. However, I am not sure if that is what the person I was replying to meant.

      Basically in most about peasants and agriculture. Most notable of which is “The Development of Capitalism in Russia”, also a lot of others in few first books of collected works.
      Keyword is “odrobki” although i have no idea how that would be in English version since i read it in Polish (work-offs maybe?)
