    You are telling me they institutionalised this shit and they still wonder why everyone runs away the moment they see a chance to do so?

    The very fact, that the Russian military is run in a less disciplined way than some criminal organisations in other countries, is very very funny to me.

      Yes, and it’s not a new thing. It is not unusual to go to mandatory military service and come back with permanent injuries or trauma. The only official way to avoid getting there is studying. Therefore there is such an inflation of students in whatever field. Most surreal for me was always the following: after you graduate (e.g. from school) you are “vulnerable” until you are enrolled into a university, so they try to get into anything asap. And sometimes the military guys are waiting at the graduation event, to scoop you up before you can even leave the building.
