Polina Aleksandrovna Azarnih is a 40-year-old former teacher from Russia who has gained notoriety for her role in a recruitment scheme that lures vulnerable individuals, particularly from war-torn countries, into the Russian military under false pretenses. Through her Telegram channel, she has promised jobs and financial rewards to recruits, only to expose them to the dangers of frontline combat. Azarnih's actions have been highlighted in a BBC investigation that reveals her as a key figure in a broader network of recruiters exploiting desperation among young men. Despite the growing scrutiny and accusations against her, she continues to deny any wrongdoing, asserting that those she recruited knew the risks involved.
