The Curator asked about Naval Infantry: Recruitment, Attrition, in the Far East as a resukt of Ukraine War (for similar study see Mind the Gap series and associated papers about the Northern Fleet)
Key finding: Both Pacific Fleet naval infantry brigades have been effectively destroyed and reconstituted multiple times since 2022. They recruit primarily from Russia's Far Eastern federal subjects — Primorsky Krai, Kamchatka, Khabarovsk Krai — meaning the human cost of the Ukraine war falls disproportionately on Russia's most geographically isolated and politically marginal communities. The reconstitution of these formations as divisions is an organisational aspiration rather than a current military reality.
