Rape has been Russia's bread and butter pretty much forever. Though they really did kick into high gear in WWII.

Rape is a prevalent form of hazing in Russian Military too.

“Dedovshchina encompasses a variety of subordinating and humiliating activities undertaken by the junior ranks, from doing the chores of the senior ranks, to violent and sometimes deadly physical and psychological abuse, not unlike an extremely vicious form of bullying or torture, including sexual torture and anal rape. There have been occasions where soldiers have been seriously injured or killed.”
