    It’s not even all that needed to go back all the way to Soviet Union for learning about such behavior; they were doing those things with all the recentish wars like in Afghanistan in the 80s or the “anti-terrorist action” in Chechnya in 2000s. Or Kursk in 2000. Those are some of the countless examples of absolute insanity that is Russian military or Defence Department.

    " In Russia army is a closed system akin to prison. No one goes to that army or prison, unless those in change decide they are supposed to be there. And when you get there, your life will be that of a slave. " Anna Politkowska, 2004 (my translation)
