Although we believe this recruitment video was meant for Russian citizens, we couldn't help but notice a few things about this video.

First of all, around 0:07, what is thought to be the entire Red army is shown charging into battle.  One will notice, however, that this mighty army consists only of three armored personnel carriers and ten foot-soldiers.  Although the actual Russian army is presumably much larger, this commercial leads a potential recruit to believe that the Red Army is a very small group desperately in need of new troops (even Pinkos like to feel needed).  Also, it could lead to the US letting it's guard down.  After all, a military budget to defend against 10 foot soldiers shouldn't be that expensive.

Another thing to notice is around 0:30 when one soldier sees his friend "Vaska" running by, he immidiately yells at and hugs him.  One would have a hard time believing that in the Red Army you are permitted to drop out of formation and lovingly hug another man any time you want to.  Another interesting observation is that Vaska is informed that he gets a "nice allowance".  Apparently the other soldier didn't get this from the Red Army, but possibly he was disqualified from this because his mommy still gives him one.  At least he was able to "leart a specialty here" (probably firing and reloading an AK-47 rifle, that is our guess).

Although this is all well and good, what is disturbing is the scene where the "battle alarm" goes off.  These Russian soldiers look almost delighted to leave one anothers embrace and start killing people and blowing stuff up. Although we are not told where they are going, one must assume it is to assault Georgia (either the US state or the country of Georgia) and possibly kill some goats.  Vaska does, however, show his humanity in a moment of reflection at 0:44 where he looks longingly back to his comrade and hopes to see him again after the mission.  This, of course is acting, meant to soften the Red Army's image in the world's eyes.
