The videos of Russian soldiers ransacking businesses show that order is breaking down in parts of Kursk that Russia is desperately trying to defend.

Videos from security cameras this week shared on social media have shown Russian soldiers ransacking supply warehouses, pharmacies, phone stores, and clothing shops. Many of the videos come from Glushkovo, a village still under Russian military control.
In one video, a Telegram user films a street in Glushkovo and reveals that every shop on the street has been ransacked and left in disarray.
One CCTV camera also showed soldiers in Glushkovo stealing from a Wildberry warehouse - Russia's answer to Amazon. The camera footage is dated August 23.
Kursk governor Alexey Smirnov evacuated Glushkovo on August 14 - days after Ukraine launched an incursion into the region, while the Russian military stepped in to defend it.
Tendar, a social media account that monitors the Ukraine-Russia war, tweeted a video of the looting, adding: "Just to paraphrase it, this is a Russian town, in a Russian province, INSIDE Russia, and the Russian army plunders it.
"More shops in Glushkovo have been looted by the Russian army. They are picking the town empty."

I admire Russia and the Russian People very much. My question was not rhetorical. I honestly wonder Russia cannot seem to escape authoritarianism. If you know, please tell me.
In the fwiw department, this happens in war, almost all the time.
Doesn’t matter friend or foe.
Too many examples to list

But someone who may have experience in this - tell me what kind of American/Pole/German would sign up for this Zelensky-Deep State suicide mission?

Plenty, do realize the EU , especially Germany is in full blown recession, EU in hard times. I myself did three years for DOS overseas ( as an “ Advisor “) because of layoff and the money paid was stupid big, a no brainer with a family to feed.
That said, looking back I was hoodwinked, I was “ scrubbed” from all public records, basically disappeared and given one of those Diplomatic Immunity pages on my Passport. I was told if I was captured or killed, I would be reported as a “ Tourist”….after three years of of that secret agent crap- I finally quit…I will add I was also given a “ get out of jail” card for any offenses committed while back in the US.
More Russian SPAM in a can.
