Hazing in the Russian army, documented in footage from 15 years ago, shows its destructive consequences. Soldiers endure physical harm that can escalate to life-threatening injuries or death. Psychological scars linger, with victims battling PTSD, depression, and anxiety. These acts erode trust, break unit cohesion, and devastate morale. Offenders risk severe penalties, including court-martial, while such incidents invite public scandal and harm the military’s image.
