В каких войсках СССР служить НЕ ХОТЕЛИ: места, куда срочники боялись попасть больше всего

In the Soviet Army, there were units that conscripts dreamed of joining, and there were also service areas that conscripts tried to avoid at all costs. Some were associated with prestige, uniforms, and respect, while others were associated with hard work, poor living conditions, remote garrisons, hazing, and a service without any romanticism. In this video, we'll examine which units and service areas in the USSR were the least desired. Why "construction battalion" became almost a byword. What reputation did the internal troops, chemical units, remote garrisons, and the most difficult army positions have? And most importantly, what in the Soviet Army frightened conscripts most: the troops themselves or the reality of service within the system. This isn't about myths and anecdotes, but rather how soldiers' reputations developed in different units, what was considered prestigious, and what, conversely, undesirable. Why completely different worlds could exist within the same army: from elite units to service that was later remembered without any nostalgia. If you served yourself or heard such stories from your parents and grandfathers, write in the comments which troops were considered the toughest back then and which ones people were truly afraid to end up in.
