1/ A Russian military police officer who stole 2 million rubles from a mentally disabled recruit was sent to an assault unit. However, illustrating the current state of morale on the front lines, he and three comrades reportedly blew their own legs off to avoid going to fight. ⬇️

2/ Russian warblogger 'BCh3' tells the story in three posts:

"We usually write about heroes, but here we have an anti-hero. One of those who profit from war; one of those who ‘while some suffer, others benefit’. Meet one of the staff officers of the Military Police."

3/ "Briefly, the situation...

A training ground. New arrivals are undergoing training. One of the fighters is a quiet guy, but something is wrong with his head. He is unwell.

4/ "The military police take him and for the entire duration of the recruits’ training, he stays with them and does odd jobs.

And every day, money is withdrawn from his card. The enlistment payment. In total, about 2 million was withdrawn.

5/ "And the people saw justice done. This man and three others who participated in the withdrawal of the money were sent to the assault company.

6/ "I'll be honest – they are not broken yet, only because tomorrow they will ride into the sunset. Along with those who were robbed, or rather, with the same as them. And this is right. This is fair. And justice is what relieves social tension.

7/ "Everyone's heard of people stealing fighters' money. Here's one of them before you."

The man, with the callsign 'Kino', was filmed being told contemptously that he was an "antihero" before protesting in vain that he hadn't stolen anything. 'BCh3' reports what happened next:

8/ "Look at that face again. A former private soldier who became the head of the [local] military police. He was supposed to be going to the front with the guys today. To prove he was an officer, even if he was dishonest.

9/ "But he took two grenade fuses, strapped them to his leg, and blew them up. Then he shouted, "Evacuate me, I'm wounded." Where's the manhood? And I think the story won't end there."

10/ "Continuing the story of the top brass of the military police, who were sent to assault companies for stealing money from military personnel's cards. We introduced you to a character with the call sign Kino. He blew himself up but didn't go to his positions.

11/ "There were four of them. And the others also blew themselves up, not a single one of them went to the enemy. Cheapskates. To whom the state gave loans, who literally sucked the blood of soldiers when they found themselves in the rear.

12/ "They fined people for not wearing a seat belt on the road, where there was a risk of drones. Cars with white [civilian] license plates were confiscated, despite the fact that the artificial intelligence of the waiting drones cued on black [military] licence plates.

13/ "They did a lot of things. And they stole, stole, stole. And when it came to fighting, they preferred to use their ammunition on themselves rather than the enemy." /end
