"Bailiffs Push Russian Mother to Join Army to Settle Debt"

A single mother in Russia, struggling to repay a bank loan, claims that bailiffs suggested she join the military to pay off her debt. Olga, who has two children, received a letter from the bailiffs instructing her to contact the military commissariat and enlist in contract military service. However, she expressed concerns about leaving her children and refused to sign up. The bailiff service stated that such recommendations are not personalized and are meant to inform debtors that debt recovery is suspended if they participate in combat actions as part of the Russian Armed Forces.
