During the Rosgvardia Spetsnaz maroon beret selection in Stavropol, servicemen from Chechnya were reportedly allowed to cheat by bringing their own cars and failing the rappelling portion. This led to a fight between Chechen and non-Chechen participants.

Video of one of the Chechens failing to meet the standard. The brawl began after the judges tried to remove the Chechen servicemen and even led to someone firing a pistol. However, the leadership ruled in favor of the Chechens and gave them the berets. 2/

There's a shocking document on Russian social media that alleges the commander and deputy CO of the 78th Separate Spetsnaz Company were extorting their soldiers for money and beat any who refused. It alleges the CO raped a soldier with a broom handle while his deputy filmed it.
