Soldier sent to Siberia after protest rap A young Russian soldier who made a rap video about poor conditions in his barracks has been sent to Siberia.
Lieutenant Vitaly Efremov took the YouTube approach to complaining after becoming frustrated with the state of his accommodation near St Petersburg.
But his video incurred the wrath of army leaders after it was posted on RuTube - the Russian version of YouTube.
He has now been posted to Ussuriysk, a windswept Siberian town, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Lieut Efremov made his video in the style of US rapper Eminem's letter to a frustrated fan, Stan.
His version is a letter to the Russian defence minister, Anatoly Serdyakov, in which he complains about everything from broken showers and dilapidated barrack rooms to faulty equipment and poor pay.
In between Lieut Efremov's list of woes, there are bursts of Dido's Thank You. The British singer appeared as Stan's long-suffering girlfriend in Eminem's video of the song.
The footage includes the semi-naked soldier walking through corridors and taking a shower in a filthy bathroom.
Lieut Efremov's rap complains that no progress has been made on granting cheap credits to professional soldiers who want to buy their own home.

Yeah.
Leave that to some junior enlisted guy.
Proper channels is the best way to
1) make sure nothing is done to address the problem
2) end your career
So I guess he decided to end his career but make sure something actually gets done.
