Notes -
Is the war in Ukraine eugenic for Russia? Apparently all the combat units are sourced from soldiers who sign volitional contracts, and those who sign up are from the poorest regions, enticed by a one-time payment of 2-4x their annual salary.
This war is eugenic for both sides. It is final end of modernity and retvrn to 17-18th century when war was seen as the best way to get rid of criminals, beggars and assorted dregs. Frederic the Great explicitly banned "useful citizens" from being recruited into Prussian army, even if they wanted to volunteer.
In Russia, as you said, prisoners and rural people lured by promise of big bag of rubles are fed to the meat grinder. In Ukraine it is even more stark, the losers who can't flee the country or bribe their way out are dragged to the vans.
If this continues for several centuries, we would see in Eastern Europe the same eugenic process as happened in Western Europe. Feeding the criminals, poors, dumb (and small number of patriotic idealists) into shredding machine will produce superior race that will dominate the world.
