I found this referenced over at No-Pasaran.
If this is true, Russia is in deeper and bigger trouble then I thought.

An activist with the group in St. Petersburg, Lyubov Yezheleva, told The Associated Press it learned about the alleged abuse from a 20-year-old conscript.
“He said he was forced into male prostitution by fellow soldiers who beat him and demanded that he earn money for them,” Yezheleva said. She said the conscript was serving with the interior troops unit No. 3727, in the center of St. Petersburg near the renowned Hermitage art museum.
She refused to name him out of fear for his safety.
“Regrettably, it's not the only case of soldiers being forced into male prostitution that we are aware of,” Yezheleva said. She said another soldier who served in St. Petersburg made a similar claim in 2005.
Soldiers' Mothers head Valentina Melnikova said the claims were “not at all unusual.”
