"Shit, their apartments aren't small at all; they're so spacious. I think I'll take the crib for myself, it's f*cking awesome. And there's a TV intact, but you can't get there..."

The true face of the "Russian world".

Wtf do these idiots think they're going to do with the loot. Carry it all the way through a war and then back home? Fucking country is full of drunken dipshits.

My first thought too: even at 1x zoom, this idiot's got the alchy shakes like a mother fucker.

Some might not make it, and some I suppose they can find a way or another. Have someone who is going back to Russia drive it back or something.

Here's an American soldier who looted Hitler's phone book, one of Hitler's tapestries, a stainless steel serving tray of Hitler's, a sheet and blanket from Hitler's bed, some awards presented to Hitler by the mayors of some German towns, and some of Hitler's wine glasses, plus a sword from Goering's house:

I pulled a sheet off Hitler’s bed, wrapped my loot in it, and threw it over my shoulder. As we started to head down the mountain a couple of newspaper reporters and several more American soldiers arrived at The Eagle’s Nest.

By the time I got my loot down the mountain most of the wine glasses with Hitler’s initials on them were broken. People have asked how we got all the stuff home. Two of the lieutenants in our battalion were being reassigned directly to the war in the Pacific. We used their foot lockers to get the stolen stuff back to the USA.

There's a grand canyon casm between stealing from Hitler's private estate (of stolen shit) and trying to boost a fuckin 55" LED from some random Ukrainian.

I'm not saying that it's morally equivalent, just that that's quite a collection to haul across Europe -- in an era when most transport was still by horse -- and across the Atlantic Ocean.

The Russian soldiers looting in OP's video are in a world with motor vehicles, probably some kind of working international postal system, and live in a neighboring country.

"Very spacious, oh what's that thing near the water tap" looking at the toilet. "Haven't seen something like this before either, will take that too". You can tell Russia is really sending their finest....
