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:

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.
