Endemic Corruption has been a Dominant Factor in Russia's Losses. The Exclusive Hierarchical Structure of the Russian Military, which is Subordinate to the Head-of-State and subject to Little or No External Control, fosters Widespread Corruption.
The Russian Elite often views Conflicts led by Moscow, as Opportunities for Personal Enrichment. This Mindset leads to Inefficiency, Overconfidence, and Corruption, which Translates into Poor Military Performance, and may Partly explain the Total Failure of the Blitzkrieg that Russia thought it was Waging in Ukraine.
For example, since the Beginning of the War against Ukraine, a particularly glaring Problem has been the Provision of Poor Quality Equipment to Russian Soldiers.
Reports suggest that Troops were issued with Decommissioned and Unusable Body Armor, likely due to Corruption in the Procurement Process. Some Soldiers even had to Buy their Own basic Supplies, including Boots, Medical Kits, and Food.
These Logistical Shortcomings are largely attributed to Corruption and the Misappropriation of Military Funds.
The Russian Disease of Corruption is Not a Contemporary Phenomenon, its Roots go back Centuries.
