#2 IIRC, this widespread army corruption problem was already quite present during the first chechen war. I wonder what Poutin is willing/able to do about it?

#3 The widespread army corruption problem has existed since BEFORE WW II. There have always been Russians - from lowly privates to Field Marshalls - that did their bit to siphon off whatever they could in order to have a bit more enjoyment. A quarter of all gasoline, alcohol, and anything else easily converted to non-military use disappeared in Germany on a routine basis. There was a constant 'investigation' ongoing, and people were caught, but it didn't stop the corruption.
