The wife of a Russian serviceman is horrified: her husband, who has suffered four heart attacks, has diabetes and requires surgery, is despite all medical fitness categories no longer physically able to serve. After months on the front line with severe heart dysfunction (36%), repeated hospitalizations, and being declared partially fit, he is still sent “beyond the line” again and again. He has received no treatment. Even when a commission approved his discharge, generals blocked it. The response is brutally cynical: what difference does it make where he dies — here or on the battlefield?
She calls this a collapse of humanity and says openly: for the command, mobilized soldiers are “meat,” they have no rights, their lives are worth nothing. And in this, she is right. But then the main question arises: why, saying that her husband “gave all his health to the Motherland,” does she equate the Motherland with a system where a person is disposable? After all, such a severely ill soldier is of no use in war — except, perhaps, as profit for those who turn human life and death into a resource, money, and personal gain.
And the harshest truth: she recognized inhumanity only when it came for her husband. But this is not an exception — this is the essence of the system she still calls the Motherland.
“Human life of a mobilized soldier means nothing to the logistics general, who seems to have seen war only on TV: for him, it’s just a piece of meat, not a human being.”
Alina, the civilian wife of mobilized soldier Andrey Doronin, serving in the 503rd Rosgvardiya regiment, describes the indifference of command, the sending of her untreated husband into combat, and how generals blocked his discharge. According to her, Doronin was mobilized in November 2022 and immediately sent to the war zone. After nine months on the front line, he suffered a heart attack: for a month he remained in a dugout in critical condition, and after evacuation doctors recorded heart function at 36%. He was repeatedly declared partially fit, yet the unit kept sending him back.
In 2024 he suffered another attack; after treatment his heart rhythm was restored, but diabetes and complications developed. After discharge he was again sent to the front, and in 2025 his heart condition sharply deteriorated once more. On January 15, 2025, he was evacuated and doctors confirmed the need for heart surgery, as well as shoulder surgery due to torn ligaments. However, according to Alina, he has still not received treatment, despite being officially classified as partially fit.
On December 17, 2025, the unit and district initiated his discharge, and the certification commission approved it — but the decision was overturned by command. Alina accuses Deputy Logistics Commander Major General Vyacheslav Golovinov; the final decision was approved by Colonel General Alexander Popov. That is when, she says, the phrase was uttered: what difference does it make where he dies — here or “beyond the line.”
She also states that mobilized soldiers effectively have no rights: the state expects only that they continue serving, even when physically destroyed and in need of urgent medical care. At the time of her appeal, Doronin is still not discharged and may again be sent to the war zone.
