And when they did enlist, their treatment only worsened: They were assigned worn-out uniforms and left to the mercy of rusted equipment on the battlefield. These adversities didn’t stop the Soviet female fighters from going ahead and showing unprecedented excellence in warfare.

Царствование Александра III не сопровождалось ни кровопролитными войнами, ни разорительными радикальными реформами. Оно принесло России экономическую стабильность, упрочение международного престижа, рост ее народонаселения и духовное самоуглубление. Не мало потрудился император и для улучшения военного дела: русская армия была значительно увеличена и вооружена новым оружием; на западной границе было построено несколько крепостей. Военный флот при нем стал одним из сильнейших в Европе.

In the dog days of August 2008, a column of Russian tanks and troops rolled across the Republic of Georgia’s northern border and into South Ossetia, sparking a war that was over almost before it began. The war, while not insignificant, lasted all of five days. The number of casualties did not exceed one thousand, the threshold most political scientists use to classify a war, although thousands of Georgians were displaced. By historical comparison, when Soviet tanks entered Hungary in 1956 and Afghanistan in 1979-89, the fatalities totaled 2,500 and roughly 14,000 respectively.
