The Russian military has a tradition of being rapists , arsonists and mass murderers.

Look at their tribal history from ancient times. The Russians were heavily influenced by Scythians who practiced a barbaric form of warfare. And so that tradition manifests in the Russian army of today.

"The Greek historian Herodotus said that the Scythians scalped their enemies.[85] Herodotus related that Scythian warriors would behead the enemies they defeated in battle and present the heads to their king to claim their share of the plunder. Then, the warrior would skin the head “by making a circular cut round the ears and shaking out the skull; he then scrapes the flesh off the skin with the rib of an ox, and when it is clean works it with his fingers until it is supple, and fit to be used as a sort of handkerchief. He hangs these handkerchiefs on the bridle of his horse, and is very proud of them. The best man is the man who has the greatest number.”[86] A skull from an Iron Age cemetery in South Siberia shows evidence of scalping. It lends physical evidence to the practice of scalp taking by the Scythians living there.[87]"
