His story is brief: 22 years old. Studied at a Russian university. They wanted to expel him from Russia. “I was looking for an opportunity to stay. They said you will join the army, we will pay you 195,000 rubles a month.” He went to serve in the 70th regiment of the Russian army. Here he is. In his story, everything related to his studentship, in our opinion, is a lie or a half-truth. He does not speak Russian and speaks English very poorly.
Therefore, it is unlikely that he could enter a university, even a Russian one. The sale of student visas through universities is a corrupt component of the channel of illegal migration in the post-Soviet space. So, he is probably just an ordinary illegal. But he claims that there are more than 4-5 thousand Nepalese like him in the Russian army. The figure is clearly an exaggeration. However, Russia seems to have found another source to replenish its slave army.
At the end of the conversation, the Nepalese turns to his parents in Nepalese language.
Maybe someone will pass it on to them…
Please share among the Nepalese diaspora.
