Chat from some forum gives an idea of why Russian soldiers are not well trained. Why they are stealing appliances from Ukraine villagers. Looting stores.

I remember I was drafted when I was 18, I served one year in Russian army, I shot from AK-74 only three times during that year, we didnt have any military training, I helped to build houses for high ranking officers
___
Which year was this exactly? I read that this was the case in a book titled ‘Zinky boys’ by Svetlana Alexievich before the Russo-Afghan war. Conscripts had been instructed to work on the private properties of generals instead of proper military training and then they were sent to Afghanistan to die.
___
I did my time in 2012 and i havent shot even once.
____
I’ve read that the pay for conscripts is very low maybe $1 a day, where regular contract soldiers are closer to $20.
