The mental health charity started a project in 2024 offering support with decluttering, deep cleans and psychological interventions.

The letter was signed by BMM's chief executive Anastasia Nikitanova, who hung up when the BBC approached her for comment and did not respond to further messages."We checked the list and we don't have these books in stock now," an employee of one of the shops that had received the letter told the BBC on condition of anonymity.

They continued: "If we did, we could have tried to understand what's wrong with them. I have no idea why the publisher chose these books… it's a sign of the moral panic that has overtaken the market."The newly banned books were released in Russia by the publishing houses Ripol Classic and Dom Istorii, which are affiliated with BMM.Sergei Makarenkov, the head of Ripol Classic, said: "I think [the list] is most likely connected to the anti-LGBT law. This needs to be clarified with BMM… I can't clearly explain to you what has happened here."

"Such lists appear everywhere now, it's become completely routine," he added. Makarenkov said he would get back to the BBC when further details were available but at the time of publication had not responded to follow-up calls.Russia banned the promotion of "non-traditional sexual orientations" to minors in 2013 but since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine has expanded the law to forbid "LGBT propaganda" being disseminated among people of any ages.

Moscow has also labelled what it calls the "international LGBT movement" an "extremist organisation," despite no such official movement existing.

The BMM letter follows a high-profile case against the publishers behind the teen romance novel A Summer in the Red Scarf and other titles with LGBT themes.Whatever their path into cybersecurity, she says, it's a natural transition. "A SOC [security operations centre] is exactly the same as the security fields we were working in. The adrenaline, the problem solving, right? It's the keeping the peace. Fighting the bad guys."

But, Mrs Morin adds, "The camaraderie is exactly like the military, the busy weeks, the quiet weeks, the jokes that nobody gets unless you've been there done that…It's just a really tight knit community."Mr Murphy says employers have become more aware of the skills that veterans bring.

"Once an employer picks up someone from the ex-Forces community, they will want to come back for another one."That's not to say some adjustments aren't necessary. Onboarding processes can vary between organizations, while a lack of standardization and job titles can be a contrast with the highly organized military world.
