In an incident some years ago a video surfaced in the USA media of a Chechen woman harassed by Russian military soldiers. One would like to think such behavior in the video reached Russian officals and soldiers were disciplined. That may not have been the case and rasicm and bigotry are all part of the Russian military culture (click here).

(Ukrainian) MPs visiting London (click here) said women in Ukraine are being raped by Putin's forces
They said women have committed suicide or been killed after the attacks
Politicians say they are amassing evidence of Putin's alleged war crimes...
In the USA, when the KKK had power and corrupted government, including judges, etc., hangings of African Americans were all part of the power structure of the organization. It is what held the organization together. Burning crosses on lawns were a death threat. Regardless of the lawlessness of these acts under the Rule of Law of the time, the organization maintained it's structure through such atrocites. Allowance of hate helps cement it into society. I think that is similar to what we have here. The hate is a feeling, but, acting it out is the cement that brings those that hate together.
I think the atrocities and crimes against hunanity we are witnessing with Putin and his military is an act of hate without any resolve, except, the genocide itself being completed.
