Russian cannon fodder haven't got even proper uniform, and still enjoys the classic WW2 helmets.

Only the few elite mercenary squads actually got properly equipped, and as I heard, they had to buy their equipment themselves, from their salary.

So people comparing Putler to Hitler are insulting Hitler, who at least invested into his soldiers. Putin is far more insane, angry and incompetent, so after the iron curtain falls, Russian death camps could likely shadow Gulag and Auschwitz taken together, unless the holes in the fence would allow inmates to escape en masses.
