It's mostly just about statistics of prevalence and the history of it, and about how of course the Russian government just pretends its not a thing, despite it literally being a thing for generations.
Also funny for how a country so obsessed with the evils of gayness, they sure do a lot of male on male rape.
Remember when Tucker Carlson literally masturbated himself on Fox about how "masculine" the Russian military is?In 2019, according to the Russian military prosecutor office situation with dedovshchina is getting worse. Incidents of hazing in the army during the 2019 have increased. 51,000 human rights violations and 1,521 sexual assault cases

Ahh, it's only gay if you push back.
To be fair, that's more or less how the Romans viewed things. There was a general (I don't recall which one) whose political enemies spread word of the fact that he was having a gay affair with a friend. The big, scandalous issue wasn't that he was having an affair with a man (which was, itself, totally fine), but that he was the bottom.

Russia has not admitted any casualties. On Saturday the Russian defence ministry published footage showing what it described as the crew of the Moskva, on parade in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol.
The commander-in-chief of the Russian navy said the officers and crew would "continue their service".
The video showing around 100 sailors is the only evidence that's been offered of any survivors from the 510-crew warship.
Russia is doomed as it always has been historically
They probably lined up the ones that had no visible injuries for the photo shoot.
Question is how many are alive and how many are, you know, horribly burned and injured?
As mad as I am at the Russians...I still feel bad for the families and even the sailors, it's like the Kremlin pretends they don't even exist anymore. They are taking the whole "Veterans are used than discarded" to a whole new level.
If Putler acknowledged he is getting Russian men killed and maimed in the thousands for little to no gains over nearly two months, how long could he sustain this 'special military operation'? Even a culture like Russia that abhors free thinking and demands compliance with the state would start questioning why they are fighting the way if they knew how many Russian men Putler has gotten killed.

Per NYTimes:
More than 20 fighters and bombers back in service? That's fairly big news.As Russia ramps up its offensive in eastern Ukraine, the Ukrainian air force has returned more than 20 of its fighter and bomber aircraft back to operational flight status over the past three weeks, as a result of receiving spare parts shipments coordinated by the United States, a senior U.S. defense official said on Wednesday.
In addition to that boost of warplanes, more than 50 Ukrainian soldiers are being trained on 155-millimeter howitzers outside of the country, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss military aid from the United States as well as assessments of Russia’s recent actions.
That training is expected to last a week, and then the soldiers will return to Ukraine and train more artillery troops how to use the 18 howitzers that the White House has pledged to send to the Kyiv government as the war in Ukraine shifts to the contested Donbas region of Donetsk and Luhansk, the official said during a briefing to reporters.
