I saw a video once about a mother going all the way to a base to pick up her son.
That was in another Russian war, probably Afghanistan.
Anyway, she eventually talked him into deserting, with the help of his superior officers, who said they would turn a blind eye.
His argument for staying was basically "Yes, I kill people and I might end up dead myself, but I have a bit of salary in the meantime".
