Russia has forced its way into Ukraine and after months of fighting the Russian army needs to bolster its numbers by bringing in conscripts to step up to the front lines. But life as a Russian conscript is brutal as you will see in today's dark new video that reveals a shocking side to the Russian conflict.

13 minutes video posted a couple days ago. This video points out the low morale of a Russian soldier. It's pretty bad over there and it's quite revealing how barbaric they are. It's a cool animation to check out if that's your thing.

That was brutal.

This was a oretty good movie about recruits for the Soviet’s Afghan War.

[BlueLancer]

This is the best book written about life in the Soviet Army ... great reading!

[MinorityRepublican]

Good movie. I’ve seen it. If I had a choice, I’ll rather be a Soviet conscript. At least my officers were Communists. So they “believed” in something even though they were ruthless.

Thanks.

It’s like being outside in a sheiitstorm without an umbrella, overcoat or clothes.

[ebshumidors]

Yes. Very good movie.

I knew a guy who had been a conscript in the USSR during the 1980’s. He had an arm permanently crippled due to a bullet from a pistol of one of his officers who was mucking about with his sidearm and had a UD. Nothing happened to the officer and it was all just swept under the carpet.

The levels of brutality in the Soviet military rivalled the worst of Japan pre The Bomb. I can only imagine what life is like for a new recruit in China or North Korea.

And they wonder why morale is so low.

—”This video points out the low morale of a Russian soldier. “

Low morale and sinking after the many members of the Russian running team are dispersed into regular units.
Telling their tale of woe with “advantages”.

With cell phones, it will spread like pink eye.

Reminds me of Dr. Zhivago scene where the Russian Army mutinied against their officers in WWI.

And we fought on the side of the White Russians Tsarists in WW1

…”is claimed Ukraine has taken so many Russians captive, the country is running out of space to accommodate them.“

Taking prisoners is counterproductive. They have to be guarded, housed, and fed, costing manpower and resources. Every invader should be killed.
