In the armed forces of the aggressor country, which the Russians for some reason still call “the second army in the world,” the number of murders of invaders by their own colleagues has sharply increased. And if previously a commander being shot was an emergency on an all-Russian scale, today it is practically commonplace. Nevertheless, such cases are hushed up by the command, and they prefer to get rid of the “troublemakers,” also by sending them to the next world.

Revenge due to complaints
It’s hard to surprise not only mobilized Russians, but also contract soldiers with complaints about the real state of affairs in the RF Armed Forces. They record videos every now and then and post them online, or ask their wives and mothers to do so. Most occupiers still prefer anonymity.
“They are afraid of both their commanders, who, in their own words, are “creating chaos,” and the defenders of Ukraine. Many occupiers are afraid that their data will end up on the Internet,” says OBOZ.UA’s intelligence interlocutor.
According to him, mobilized Russians who were sent to fight, for example, in the Donbass, are often handed over to local “commanders.”
“And the Donetsk people, of course, send first of all visiting Russians to slaughter in order to protect their own. And conflicts begin, which are suppressed very harshly – usually by quickly sending them to zero. Only a few of the “rebels” return alive. In essence, this a kind of order to shut up forever,” says the officer.
One of the latest confirmations is the situation in Russian military unit No. 41680. A mobilized Russian, who is now in the Donetsk region, said that “complete lawlessness is happening in the unit.” There are no payments, no vacations, the wounded are not sent for treatment (he gave the example of a colleague who walks around with a shrapnel in his temple). “And recently, because of checks, some fighters were handcuffed and not allowed to go to the toilet,” the newly appointed occupier complained.
According to the Russian, the commanders are now trying to “nullify” him out of revenge – because he complained about them to the military prosecutor’s office.
But one should not think that this mobilized man is one of those who consider the war unleashed by Putin to be criminal. He says, “I want to serve for the good of my homeland, but I don’t want to be with the local (Donetsk) commanders.”
Kill the commander
The actions of Russian commanders, who consider soldiers simply cannon fodder, in a combat zone at any moment can serve as a trigger. And some occupiers really can’t stand it.
For example, a serviceman of the Russian military unit 12315 (located in the Kherson region) and his colleagues were pumped up with alcohol. After this, the emboldened corporal decided to finally deal with the commander of the tank battalion who had humiliated him. On the way, he shot two sentries, and after that he entered the dugout and shot Lieutenant Colonel Klyukin and several soldiers sleeping there.
The commander of the Dnepr occupation group of troops, Mikhail Teplinsky, actually gave the order to hush up the case – to bring the “defendants” to disciplinary liability.
Another murder in the Russian army became known after the verdict was pronounced in Rostov-on-Don. At first they also tried to hush up the matter.
Russian Alexander Korikhin was mobilized back in September 2022. In January 2023, already on the territory of Ukraine, several occupiers had a conflict with one of their colleagues. As a result, they tied him up and took him to the commander of the military unit. But on the way, Korikhin decided “not to waste time on trifles,” took his colleague out of the car and shot him with a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
A military court sentenced him to 7.5 years in a maximum security colony. True, how long he will actually be behind bars is a big question; it is quite possible that he will sign a contract, like other prisoners, and go to war again.
They don’t reach the front
People in the Russian Federation are increasingly talking about the fact that Russian occupiers are killing and raping their own colleagues. The other day, an audio interception of such a conversation was published by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense .
A Russian woman told her boyfriend (or husband), a serviceman of the Russian Armed Forces, that a mobilized acquaintance was killed by his own people at a training center on Russian territory. According to her, there are already many such cases.
– In general, a 40- or 50-year-old man who went through Afghanistan and Chechnya twice, he was fucking sent to Ukraine. In the end, fuck it, they brought the dead one. The funny thing is that it turned out that he didn’t even make it to Ukraine. They fucking killed him in preparation.
– Oh fuck..
– Ours killed!
– Yeah…
“There are already a lot of cases where someone was hanged, or a man was raped.”
– No fucking way…
– People are dying like flies before reaching Ukraine!
As we see, if you end up in the Russian army, surviving is still a task. You can go to the next world not only thanks to the defenders of Ukraine, but also to “your” colleagues from the Russian Federation.
This sort of crap has been going on since the start of the war. But, it seems as if the cockroaches are getting ever more primitive and violent. That’s why killing them is so important. And, it’s good and convenient that some are being killed before even reaching Ukraine.
With decent support, this gang of misfits would be the second army in Ukraine, and maybe even russia. Discipline is non-existent, moral must be even lower, despite the orcs taking 6 months to capture a small town.
Once Ukraine can go on the offensive again, such cases will multiply among the Russians, because in the confusion of an attack, it’s much easier to kill a superior. In many cases, it will even be necessary to be able to surrender.
