I like to remind folks that the Russian military still sucks and that it is still a nation where corruption permeates every level. Don't get me wrong, Russia is still dangerous, but it's still Russia.
Russian Interior Ministry troops were fed dog food earlier this year to save money, a former officer in the ministry said on Thursday.
A rare whistleblower in Russia's expansive security forces, ex-Major Igor Matveyev said officers tried to cover up the scandal and other alleged wrongdoing at the Interior Ministry troops base where he served in the far east city of Vladivostok.
"It's embarrassing to say but soldiers here were fed dog food. It was fed to them as stew," Matveyev said in an interview with Reuters, adding that dog food labels were covered up with labels reading premium quality beef.
