About 1,000 women, according to human rights groups, were recruited to serve in the invasion of Ukraine .
Some of the women died; some returned home after being pardoned of their crimes.
Yelena , who had her sentence commuted after serving in Ukraine , says the female prisoners were paid less than they were offered during recruitment.
"The bulk of prisoners who signed up to go to Ukraine are brainless junkies whose only dream is to go out and buy themselves some new boots," she says.
The last recruitment of female prisoners was in September 2023 from a facility in Leningrad region.
"Their experiment -- to send women to the front -- was a failure, to put it mildly," Marina , a human rights activist, says of the Kremlin initiative.
"The appearance of women didn’t add any discipline,” Marina says.
