I’ve just read the book “Livvakt i helvete”. It is alarming to read about the conditions in the Russian army, how much corruption that takes place there, and most of all it is alarming how high up in the system it all goes. If only half of what is written in the book is true, Russia and its leaders are no better than old Stalin and the rest of that gang. It has inspired me to find out more. The book was more like a crime fiction book than a documentary due to all the terrifying stories, but nevertheless it is an important book that you should spend time reading.
Starting points are http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsjetsjenia and http://www.tsjetsjenia.no/default.asp
