Would you like to join the Russian Army? Well if you are Russian then your answer is most likely some form of "no". In a recent poll done by a state-run VTsIOM 75% of respondents say they do not want to join the Russian Army. Is this a lack of patriotism? Not really. The reason behind this high "no" response is that people fear the hazing that they receive once they join. Half the people (at 51%) said that they feared joining because of the likelihood of being killed, so that still leaves a large percentage of people who don't mind being killed for their country, but do mind the severe hazing that is practiced.
