Tough Job: Boot Camp for Russian GIs

Bullying culture...


Russian soldiers.

Conscription has a long history in Russia, Mike Bird reports on businessinsider.
Hundreds of thousands of young Russian men are drafted into the country's military every year, a practice carried over from the Soviet Union-era and the Tsarist systems before that. 
Russia's military is set apart by a bullying culture that's generally more extreme and widespread than in other militaries around the world, Bird wrote.
