Serious question: why is it so shit in Russia? Is there literally no law and order?

A fish rots from the head. If you get your shit stolen by the people above you while you are making starvation wages then you steal too. Everyone kicks down. Everyone thinks it happened to them and so it's ok to do to others.

The *staggering* amount of corruption and theft at every level is one of the reasons the war has gone so poorly. A friend of mine bought some "surplus" russian gear off eBay. Current events and the quality of that "surplus" suggest someone just ripped it out of a vehicle in storage because nobody would ever know.
