Yeah about these "well known" things regarding Russia... We must re-evaluate everything.

And you're right - I visited Russia few years ago. Outside of Moscow, many homes I visited did not have running water. Moscow has its own share of poorness too - there's few super-rich and then millions of super-poor people living next to each other.

I think it is a question of individual's morale, not a question of your country's economic. Wouldn't you grab someone's property if you have alredy became a part of a gang destroying and murdering so-called enemies?

I would not. It just prevents me in achieving my objectives.

Most of the Russian soldiers are relatively poor compared to other Russians. Otherwise they would not be in the army.
