    Same reason the US dug out old M14s. Need to hit shit far away, intermediate rifle is bad at that. Difference is the Soviets never had a battle rifle phase in the same way we did so they had to go back further to get anything in quantity.

        Not enough of them. The US had a ton of M14s since we thought giving everyone one was a good idea. The Soviets didn't do that.

      My theory is that Russia sold a shit tone of its Soviet era surplus small arms, so much in fact that they don’t have enough to arm the reserves so they’re handing out whatever the frick they haven’t sold that’s still lying around in armories, that being mosins and rusted through AKMs l

          You do realize that the scene was filmed in Czech republic, not in Russia and the rifles seen in that photo are actually vz. 58?

          I am not the anon that you replied, but considering how many rifles former Soviet states exported since fall of Soviet Union, how large their internal security forces are and how even much of "new" exported rifles seem to have receivers manufactured during Cold War, it seems possible that Russia may indeed be starting to run low on rifles to issue.

        Im Polish and I agree with you.
        My guess is it was stolen or "sold unofficially" as they like to say.
        Soviets hat tones of SWDs, and yet I hardly ever see them in the war videos - and they really do need rifles with longer range in Ukraine, it's a vast flatland.
        Ukrainians are remaking en masse heavy machine guns into sniper rifles for that reason, they have been doing that for years.

        Pic related - every single platoon had a guy with SVD in soviet times.

        They give mobiks old mosins because they literally dont have anything ealse.

        Mark my words - we will soon see captured/dead vatniks with China made rifles, old copies of soviet designs.

          Russia law is you have to be handed draft papers in person so lots of guys are just hiding because receiving draft orders in the mail means nothing.
          And yes, if they think you'll run after getting your papers they'll arrest you on the spot and hold you until you can be sent to a base.

        It’s much harder to convince a man to go blindly to his death in war if you don’t give him a weapon to clutch in his hands like a pacifier. I’d imagine that if Russia could arm their canon fodder with nothing they would, but human psychology won’t allow them to.

      False. Wagner takes whatever old crap Russian MoD would give to them, and Russian MoD guys are given whatever old crap is in stock. Not that it matters at all because gunfights are less than 10% of engagements, and within that 10% only 10% of situations actually rely on your ability to hit the target, everything else is just "fire in general direction of the enemy to suppress them until they surrender or flee or someone else closes the distance". If it comes to worst and your equipment is inadequate (ANY rifle and ANY military armor is adequate, believe me) then you can simply take potshots at the enemy from cover while someone else does the heavy lifting.
