Army life can be tough, but for Russian conscripts, there's an added danger - systematic bullying and abuse from within their own ranks. RT's Jacob Greaves discovered how the violent humiliation becomes tragically too much for some to bear. His report contains footage of graphic violence.

  • a military is a brotherhood. soldiers should respect and honor each other. that woman's crying for her son is so heart breaking.

  • no one to fight to they kill each other. they should step down their numbers. this is just a waste. what organization would want this reputation? it's more sad than tough.

  • @wonc Thanks for tell us the truth about South Korean army because what we see here is only a perfect picture about SK, and they never show a bit of truth about it.

  • I can believe that Russians do the same as americans do.

  • Blat... im tearing up );

  • Russia wants to spend billions modernising its armed forces' equipment. Start here. Start by modernising the culture. Russia will have a stronger and more capable army because of it.

  • This also happens in Malaysia!!!! And often it is race-based. Which is why some Malaysians would rather join Singapore's army.

  • @dizzhonest reply to your last sentence: soldiers are too free, and the damn seniors want to show the juniors their seniority. Hopefully some enemy country will attack them and catch them off-guard

  • @ArmenOfTheNorth you right about that

  • Wow 40 min. That would make anyone suspicious.

  • @wonc You didn't get my point. Before that let me explain you something. I am from Mongolia and here is hazing also present. However it was not present when my grandfather was soldier during WWII. Same things I heard from Russians here. Therefore I am concluding that hazing is a product of peace time army, when soldiers are not provided with full ammunition, have enough free time and energy to pour aggression on each other. Thus I am asking you about it.

  • @dizzhonest I am talking about present, not the past. Again RT is talking about what is happening in today's army. Because there was no hazing in past doesn't mean that it is not happening today.
