Russian Discipline in the Trenches

Life in the trenches. A Russian soldier whacks other Russian soldiers with a stick. Is it discipline? Is it hazing? Is it some sort of a pre-combat Rochambeau ritual? I can tell you that it is not training, or continuing actions, or improvement of cover or concealment, or anything that contributes to combat effectiveness. The Russian Army seems committed to everything except tactical proficiency.
