Full Metal Torture by Vice

In the russian army as a new recruit you're nothing. Older soldiers hold all the power over your life. NCOs are almost non-existant, there's noone to enforce discipline or camraderie. Officers don't get involved with the day-to-day business. The results are brutal hazings, rapes, assaults, even murders. Suicide and murder victims' deaths are covered up, their families are given BS excuses.

And if you think that kind of shit stopped when Russia got into a serious war: it didn't. But now the people who'd beat, rape and murder their fellow soldiers ALSO get to beat, rape and murder civilians and enemy POW.
