IMHO, Russians are a mixed bag - both untrained slave mobiks on the frontlines and some shrewd elite specialists behind. A hundred years ago the Russian Empire also fought in such a way.

Their archaic way of fighting is anyway grotesque nowadays, to say the least. They continue to finance the war by selling oil and gas extracted in their Siberian colonies - but their capabilities are noticeably eroding.
