I wonder when Patton made this remark whether he was perhaps referring to the many Mongolians the bolsheviks recruited for the Red Army. The Mongolians were particularly barbaric, and quite unlike the native Russians.
There are Mongolian fighters in the Russian Military today. And Chechens. And let’s not forget the Wagners. These battalions reminds me of the Gurkha. They usually went bare footed and carried a Kukri. Fierce fighters.
It is a Private Military Group. Mercenaries. They do much of the fighting alongside the militias from the region. To this point this war hasnt really been fought by the regular Russian Army.
Only 20% of Russian Military have been engaged so far. The Wagners (Musicians) have fought in Syria too and some may still be there. The Wagners are working the Soledar, Bakhmut area atm. Pray for them. This video explains why they are fighting with such conviction.
They aren’t Regular Russian Army. At least not officially. Their technically a PMC or Private Military Company.
Russias usual “plausible deniability” Merc group. If Russia has geopolitical goals and or interests to meet in a contested area where they may run afoul of Western Troops and or can’t afford to be directly involved. They send those guys. Unofficially Wagner is almost exclusively Ex-Russian Military of the more Elite variety. Paratroopers, Spetsnaz etc.
Though they’ve reportedly branched into recruiting Penal Troops from Russian Prisons as well in recent months. If footage circulating on the web is any indication.
Although the Kremlin still officially denies any direct connections between the Wagner Group and the state, many believe its campaigns are coordinated with Russia's Defense Ministry.
The Wagner Group has been recruiting large numbers of prisoners for Putin's war in Ukraine and hiring in penal colonies in Russia, offering male prisoners commuted sentences and cash incentives in return for six months of military service in Ukraine.

Probably. Referring to the Cossacks sent in to rape Berlin. They'd crap in the apartments and had never seen a flush toilet.
