Some friends spent time volunteering at a charity in Russia in the early&#x2F;mid 90s. When they went out, the charity had just been given an entire army base. Everything was left except the weapons – equipment, uniforms, personnel files, the lot.<p>If that&#x27;s what a charity managed to acquire through official means, it&#x27;s quite scary to think what others might have got their hands on.<p>And my friends got some very warm hats.
