After the war, they're likely to see the kind of veterans' march Hoover saw during the Depression and for the same reason. The whole FSB spy network that's trying to lock people completely inside their own heads is going to break down a bit because these guys won't give a flying fuck about what Putin wants, he's sent them to hell already and they're not afraid of it.

BTW, that 300,000 rubles works out to a princely $5000 at current exchange rates, barely a down payment on a used Lada.
