I want to know the answer to the following question:
What did Russian colonels due to the men who served under them?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Its navy was weak and technologically backward; its army, although very large, was good only for parades, suffered from colonels who pocketed their men's pay, poor morale, and was out of touch with the latest technology developed by Britain and France.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
