Won without a fight

Military Prosecutor General Sergei Fridinsky cheerfully reported on the successes of the military prosecutor's office on the difficult front of the fight against the hated "hazing." “This year, through the joint efforts of military prosecutors, command, security agencies in the army, and other bodies, it was possible to reduce the number of crimes by 20%. At the same time, the number of hazing and assault decreased by almost a third. The number of serious and especially serious crimes, and theft of weapons decreased significantly and ammunition, combat losses,” Fridinsky said in an interview with Interfax. The only fly in the ointment in the overall rosy picture of the world turned out to be “contract workers” - this year the number of crimes among contract employees has increased 1.7 times. Fridinsky’s phrase sounded especially touching: “I have already said many times and am saying now that there is no confrontation between the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Main Military Prosecutor’s Office.” Judging by Fridinsky's interview, it really isn't - both the ministry and the prosecutor's office seem to have one task - to bury the contract army, where, unlike the conscript army, you see, the number of crimes is growing.
