Another said: \u201cOur unbending Olga. Did they kill you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Friends also speculated that she had fallen from a tree.<\/p>\n<p>Nazarenko was well-known for her stubborn anti-war protests and had featured in several opposition media reports and videos.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"u-heading-size-medium u-heading-style-normal\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Attacked_in_the_street\"><\/span>Attacked in the street<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>She had staged weekly one-person protests, despite being regularly detained by the police. She had also been attacked in the street and had lost her job as an associate professor at a local medical university because of her protests.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of thousands of Russians have fled since the Kremlin banned anti-war protests but Nazarenko, who was married with an adult daughter and a young son, told the US-funded Radio Free Europe\/Radio Liberty that she felt that it was her duty to stay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRussia is my country, not just those in power and their supporters. I won\u2019t let anyone drive me out of my country,\u201d she said last year.<\/p>\n<p>The Kremlin has shifted Russian society and its economy onto a war footing since it launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, indoctrinating people through a wall of propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>This includes promoting former fighters from the Kremlin\u2019s Wagner mercenary unit, which recruited heavily from Russian prisons. Wagner veterans now flaunt their war medals in communities they previously terrorised as murderers and thieves.<\/p>\n<p>This week, a school in the Nizhny Novgorod region of Russia said that it had hosted a Wagner veteran to talk about his experiences of fighting on the front lines.<\/p>\n<p>A photo on the school\u2019s social media channel showed the Wagner mercenary veteran wearing a full combat uniform, a balaclava and three medals standing in the classroom. In front of him was a table with a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher and then rows of children.<\/p>\n<p>The school described the Wagner veteran as a war hero but failed to highlight, unlike opposition reporters, that he had also been convicted of at least two murders before he joined Wagner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe class meeting was very popular with seventh-grade students,\u201d the school said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"u-heading-size-medium u-heading-style-normal\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Attritional_grind\"><\/span>\u2018Attritional grind\u2019<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In Ukraine\u2019s eastern Kharkiv region, a Russian missile hit a post office sorting centre, killing at least six people and injuring 16. On Ukraine\u2019s front lines, the British Ministry of Defence said that a Russian attack at Advika, a town near Bakhmut, had descended into an attritional grind.<\/p>\n<p>It also said that the Russian army had now sustained up to 290,000 casualties, dwarfing the Kremlin\u2019s war in Afghanistan, which lasted a decade through the 1980s and killed around 20,000 Soviet soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian army has copied Wagner and has also been signing up convicts from Russian prisons since the start of the year to plug gaps in front-line units but now recruiters are targeting migrants, often from Central Asia.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Russian riot police raided a mosque in a Moscow commuter town and forced the men to join the army.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
