It's Begun! Corruption Paralyzes the Highest Chain of Command of Russian Military - The Russian Dude

Russia’s war in Ukraine has exposed a devastating truth the Kremlin can no longer hide: the Russian military was never the powerhouse it claimed to be. The burning tanks, collapsed convoys, abandoned vehicles, and chaotic battlefield failures weren’t just the result of Ukrainian resistance — they were the inevitable outcome of decades of corruption inside Russia’s Ministry of Defense. As the top chain of command stole budgets, falsified reports, pocketed modernization funds, and lived off illusions of Soviet glory, the military rotted from within. When the invasion began, the Russian high command froze, unprepared for real combat and terrified that a real war would expose their lies. Faulty equipment, disintegrating tires, cardboard body armor, stolen fuel, expired rations, counterfeit parts, and nonexistent logistics revealed an army built not for victory, but for theft. Generals who spent years building villas instead of preparing soldiers found themselves facing accountability they never expected.

This video breaks down how corruption paralyzed Russian leadership from day one, how economic rot hollowed out the Z-army long before it set foot in Ukraine, and how psychological fear inside the top brass made the command structure collapse under pressure. Russia didn’t lose because it faced a superior enemy — it lost because the system cannibalized itself. When war finally demanded competence, Russia discovered it had none. The “second army of the world” was an empty shell, undone by its own greed, lies, and total institutional decay. This is the real story of how corruption destroyed Russia’s military readiness, sabotaged its invasion, and proved once again that no empire survives when its leaders steal everything not nailed down.
