Dmitry Vedernikov, the leader of the 1990s Trans-Baikal criminal group “Metsenatovskie”, who was sentenced to 24 years in prison in 2011 for banditry, murders, and car thefts, has been transferred from prison to take part in the “special military operation”. Local media report this.

According to sources, the russian authorities were reluctant to release such a dangerous criminal, even for his participation in the war against Ukraine. In October 2023, he was denied the opportunity to sign a contract with the russian Armed Forces. A year later, recruiters decided that Vedernikov’s criminal talents would be useful in the “SMO”.

The Russian army is already the largest criminal gang of all, so this makes sense. 👿
Oh, oh, this in other news:
“Czech Republic accuses Russia of explosions at ammunition depots”
https://mil.in.ua/en/news/czech-republic-accuses-russia-of-explosions-at-ammunition-depots/
For heaven’s sake, and with lots of respect for the Czechs (also, I love their beer), but can’t they protect such high importance locations effectively? Are they as incompetent as Germany, regarding security? Grrr. 😖
That makes this shit nugget an average of what the ruskie gangster army is composed of.
