A source from the Cheka-OGPU spoke about the fate of the first group of stormtroopers from the recent batch of convicts recruited into the PMC. “Exactly a month ago, 200 people from a special contingent were taken out of a colony in the Rostov region, asking for a pardon and being sent to the Northern Military District zone. Already former prisoners traveled along a well-known route: they received equipment and went to a training camp. On the spot, a brigade of the “most daring” was assembled from the general mass and the group was sent to carry out a combat mission. As a result, the baptism of fire ended in death for 28 people, and two survivors were taken to the hospital. The detachment commander was wounded by shrapnel in the head and miraculously survived. Almost as soon as he regained consciousness, representatives of the PMC told him to get better and prepare for the “second round.” Of those convicts who initially expressed a desire, but remained in the colony as “reservists,” almost all intend to refuse to travel to the combat zone.”
