The brigade commander is thought to enjoy life in the high-spec hideaway that comes with its own cold plunge pool and massive TV.
Meanwhile, ordinary troops are forced to squelch through mud and survive in dirty, wet trenches.
The video tour shows the frontline commander living it up in a bedroom that features a comfy double bed and an ensuite.
A spacious hallway links multiple rooms to each other – including “work” and “recreation” areas.
The recreation area is kitted out with karaoke facilities and a TV spanning many inches.
He even has access to a sauna room which has two floors and features a cold plunge poolas well as a luxe glass door.
There is also a separate toilet which boasts both hot and cold water facilities and shiny, laminate flooring covers the property.
The precise location of the VIP trench penthouse has not been revealed but enraged civilians revealed the conditions regular troops had to endure.
One explained that a brother stationed in Lyman, Ukraine, “slept on bare ground in the trenches they dug themselves, with 1.5 litres of water per day on a good day”.
The user added: “Everything, supplies, ammo, water, food, and firewood, is brought from the rear on foot.
“They carry it on their backs for 10 kilometres, and many people die during these trips.
“And here this guy has a sauna and a bedroom? How many soldiers were pulled off duty to build all this?”
Another outraged civilian described the military commander as “an arrogant *****”, while one was angered by the double bed.
A further attack read: “Some soldiers are drowning in the cold and mud, and people from all over Russia are collecting money to buy them heaters and generators.
“Here the brigade commander has just built himself an underground apartment with a sauna and two plasma TVs. What a joke.”
A different comment read: “This military guy needs to be identified and shown to everyone.
“And show the women he no doubt entertains here as well.”
One comment even demanded that the unnamed commander be put through a criminal investigation.
It comes as eight Putin generals including a deputy defence minister are facing corruption probes.
