9/ 'Zeroing out' may mean being executed directly, or indirectly by being sent into an unsurvivable assault. At least one field execution has been captured on a drone video, showing one Russian soldier shooting another several times at point-blank range.

10/ Others, such as the man shown at the top of this thread who was hanged for desertion, have been publicly executed as a warning to others. This was a common Wagner practice, which also involved showing videos of executions to new recruits as a warning against disobedience.
11/ A big difference between the Soviet era and now is that extrajudicial executions are almost entirely confined to common soldiers. In only the first year of the Soviet-German war, 107 senior officers were arrested for various political and military offences.
12/ They included a marshal, 72 generals, six admirals and commanders of divisions and head of political staffs. 45 were sentenced to be shot, including 34 generals. Ten more died while under arrest. 12% of all senior Soviet officers killed in the war were executed.
13/ They were shot for suspected disloyalty, failure to achieve objectives, theft, drunkenness, and very rarely punishment for crimes against their own men, such as shooting them randomly while drunk. Nowadays, officers appear to have virtual impunity to commit such offences.
14/ While extrajudicial execution is formally prohibited in the modern Russian army, as one soldier says, "the closer to the front line, the fewer rules and the more permissiveness. For any major mistake they could reset your score – there are no laws there."
