Mansur Mirovalev
To secure the job, with a salary of 200,000 rubles ($2,660), he took a train in December from Moscow to a conscription office in the city of Ryazan, 200 kilometres (125 miles) southeast. He knew the job was being arranged through the army, but did not imagine having to serve on the frontlines.
He arrived at the office on a gloomy evening, sleepy and with a splitting headache.
And he then signed away his civilian life “in a hurry, without reading, without comprehending, and that was it”, he told Al Jazeera. The officer who handed him the contract at 11pm had asked Oleg to sign an “appendix” that turned out to be an agreement to become a drone pilot, he said.
