I thought Russia had a shortage of men, and women were finding it hard to marry, but it seems they have a surplus given these stories.
Russian Army Slavery (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6231386.stm)
'Rent' Boy Soldiers (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6356707.stm)
Pretty hard to imagine anything like that in any other 'democratic' country.

At least they weren't sold for a ruble (pun intended), but for hard currency - $$ :aok

I read *RED* somewhere that most of Russian Children born today are 75% Plastic and 20% Turkey Baster.
:huh

I don't think there are a shortage of men in Russia. The issues are the men tend to treat the women badly. Hence the reason a lot of Russian women look elsewhere for men.

Not to mention China has been caught red handed with industrial slavery many times in the past and even quite recently as in last week.
There is also slavery going on here in the US via the illegal immigrant pool. I'm not talking about Mexicans either it's typically Chinese and Russian mob oriented, but they aren't the only ones.
Salvery seems to be a booming business around the world. It's just people and govts like to turn a blind eye to it.

I don't understand why there is so much shock? Those 'conscripts' are there to serve required two years. In reality they don't do anything or can do anything during their time. If ranking officer feels like using their labor in order to feed them good food, much better than chaw hall, and teach them experience of working, that should be rewarded. Just because he had an accident, that is not fault of that officer but of that soldier. Also, that is a standard practice since beginning of times to utilize help of soldiers and build ‘civilian-military’ relationship.

Yep.
In 2002, the US Department of State repeated an earlier CIA estimate that each year, about 50,000 women and children are brought against their will to the United States for sexual exploitation. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said that "Here and abroad, the victims of trafficking toil under inhuman conditions -- in brothels, sweatshops, fields and even in private homes."

Sorry, but we are talking about "democratic" countries. We surely aren't one.
