Wagner is at least on paper a private organization. This applies to MoD not just mercenaries https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/russia-wagner-yevgeny-prigozhin-no-more-prison-recruits/

The business of war.

Impressment was probably more common than volunteers.

I thought that was "just" Wagner Group using prisoners.

They did this during WW2. It was called the Suka Wars. The Russian government promised them either pardons or reduced sentences. They broke their promises and tossed them all back in the prisons.
The other prisoners hated them for joining and this caused a major strife between those that enlisted and those who didn't.

They have done this in wars for their entire history long before dirlewanger. But yes, the results will be "predictable"

Did they run out of regular soldiers?

Prigozhin already told Putin to F off with making his guys sign contracts.... he friggin told Putin NO.

Btw, whatever polls we're managing to get from inside Russia say Prigozhin is now mote popular than Putin.

Technically, wouldn't every Russian soldier deployed in Ukraine be a criminal anyways?
