Badly wounded Russian soldiers, some on crutches, are being sent to fight. Russians say it's because of huge losses and shortages of personnel, as well as bureaucratic mismanagement. (i.imgur.com)

Did you know the MIR is the name of the national credit card system? There was a doc at some point about regulations concerning the design of these credit cards for banks. One of the rules said "do not decode MIR as an abbreviation", which also included an example image of such improper use showing a text in Russian using M I R that translates into English as "we and Russia". So...

Btw the word MIR directly translates as "world" and "peace".
