A pamphlet pictured in several viral social media posts claims to show a Russian institute advising the wives of soldiers to refrain from denouncing domestic abuse.
The contents of the pamphlet, translated from Russian to English by Euronews' verification team, advises women not to publicise their suffering on social media, to "cover up bruises with make up" and avoid "colourful clothing and make-up" in order to not "further provoke" their husbands.
