Russian soldier kills 8 fellow recruits due to hazing
Because Russia still has mandatory military service, many young men are forced to join the army for at least 6 months. In Russia there is a very common problem in the military ranks known as Dedovshchina
Dedovshchina encompasses a variety of humiliating activities undertaken by the junior ranks: from doing the chores of the senior ranks to violent and sometimes lethal physical and psychological abuse, not unlike an extremely vicious form of bullying or even torture, including sexual torture and rape. When not leaving the army seriously injured, conscripts can suffer serious mental trauma for their life time. It is often cited by former military personnel as a major source of poor morale in the ranks
There have been occasions where soldiers have been seriously injured, or, in extraordinary situations, killed.
