    Hard to believe that the Russian military is top-loaded with POC and/or poor people. I mean what kind of empire does that?https://twitter.com/kamilkazani/status/1506479259866394625 …

    The minority factor in Russian army is vastly underrated when discussing the course of Ukrainian war. Firstly, ethnic minorities are not so much a minority there. Judging from the casualty lists, minorities are wildly overrepresented on the battlefields as the cannon fodder🧵 pic.twitter.com/PgsN89ZbvY

        The Roman Empire did something rather similar with its foederati. It didn't end well.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foederati

        The Foederati were immigrants. Ethnic minorities within the Roman Empire were allowed to serve in the Legions, and that was never a major issue.
