I came across something in slavspeak which I've never heard of before, the term "kontraktniki/contractniki", while reading some articles about the massacre in Novye Aldi.
From a CNN transcript:
Granted these are from Wiki & CNN, two shining paragons of unbiased & factual information; but I wondered if Russia does/did have something like that in the past, but the practice has been replaced or named something else. Like Wagner.
Kontraktniki (literally "men who signed a contract" in Russian) are people who signed a contract with Russian Military after one year of mandatory conscription (people who serve as mandatory conscripts referred to as Srochniki). They are what regular Russian Army consist of.
I think it's just mystification on the part of CNN.
Wagner is it's own category.
