The French Foreign Legion is an elite force, open to non french individuals to enlist.
Because it is, by nature, a multicultural force, the legion has a specific trainning regime to develop unit spirit. These are not cannon fodder: any individual that can make the FFL, can after three years of service request french citizenship.
Russia seems to be just trying to find bodies to fill the ranks.
