At great risk, they shared their experiences with me. Most of them joined the military for economic reasons. Others became officers for youthful notions of service to their country. But all were quickly disappointed by the realities they faced and the culture of corruption that defined the services.

As they fall in love, marry and begin to build a family, Ivan goes to work every day pushing papers and starts to wonder whether he made the right decision. He realizes he wants a different kind of life. Maybe they can start anew? So Ivan and Anna make a plan. But as Ivan would later tell me, Vladimir Putin decided that it was a bad plan; he had a better one.
