Of course Putin doesn't give a **** since none of the political leaders have kids in the army.

At least six Russian soldiers have been held after the beating of a conscript, whose injuries were so severe his legs and genitals were amputated.

The incident took place at the Chelyabinsk Tank Academy in the Ural Mountains over the New Year.

Eight other conscripts were also seriously injured.

Investigators say more senior soldiers carried out the beatings, with the co-operation of commanding officers.

Private Andrei Sychev contracted gangrene after he was forced to squat for several hours on New Year's Eve, then tied to chairs and beaten, according to the investigators.

Bullying in the armed forces is said to be widespread.
