The Russian word for that is dedovshchina (дедовщи́на). There is no comparable word for it in English, the closest would be a combination of the words hazing + terror.
Almost all Russian military conscripts are subject to dedovshchina, which can run the gamut from brutal beatings to gang rape to sadistic torture by superior officers and veteran soldiers.
Conscript suicide rates are high.
This is well known very old news, and I dont have any sense that the Russian people care..I know that I dont on the grounds that this is not my problem, and we Americans already have way too many problems on our plate, with very light will to solve them.
so you think this whore - "army" can challenge NATO/USA? LOL
Hazing has been done probably all through history because it works to forge strength if done properly. I dont know enough about the Russian military to say though I do note claims from Americans bred on Victim Culture that it is a negative:
