Exposing the Brutal Truth: Hazing in the Russian Army | #Hazing #RussianArmy #Exposé”
This page will focus on the dark side of the Russian army culture, namely hazing or dedovshchina, which has been a widespread and notorious problem for decades. The page will highlight the issue of hazing and provide insight into the impact it has on the soldiers and their families.

The goal of this page is to raise awareness and push for positive changes in the Russian army culture. Hazing in the army involves abusive, humiliating, or degrading practices inflicted by some members on others, often as part of initiation or asserting authority. It can manifest as physical, emotional, or psychological abuse. Although many militaries enforce strict rules to prevent hazing, it remains a historical and ongoing concern in some contexts.

Hazing in the Russian army, captured in footage from about 15 years ago. It reveals the severe consequences of these abusive practices. Physical injuries often result, with some incidents leading to serious harm or even death. Many victims endure lasting psychological trauma, struggling with anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Hazing erodes trust within units, damaging morale and cohesion among soldiers. Those responsible face harsh consequences, including court-martial, dishonorable discharge, and other legal penalties. These incidents also tarnish the military’s reputation, drawing public scrutiny and scandal.

The word “dedovshchina” (дедовщина) in Russian
It refers to the unofficial, often abusive, hierarchical system within the military, particularly associated with the post-Soviet and Soviet-era armed forces. It is derived from the word “ded” (дед), meaning “grandfather” or “elder,” signifying senior soldiers or those with more time served.
Meaning:
- Dedovshchina involves hazing, bullying, and humiliation inflicted by senior conscripts on newer recruits.
- It is characterized by a strict, informal hierarchy where “elders” assert dominance over “younger” or less experienced soldiers.
- This system often includes physical abuse, verbal humiliation, forced labor, and other demeaning acts.
Writing in Russian:
- Dedovshchina: дедовщина
This term has become synonymous with the culture of hazing and abuse in the military and is a significant social and institutional issue discussed in Russia and beyond.
