Russian convicts, after returning from the war in Ukraine, cannot restrain their bestial instincts and continue to kill. The criminal chronicle is full of reports of new crimes by the “liberators”. But despite the fact that the next recruits in the colonies are no longer eligible for pardon, they still have a chance to return home to the Russian Federation. And this is what the relatives of their victims and neighbors are panicking about.
More details about this can be found in the material on OBOZ.UA.
The illusion of security
Russian prisoners who went to fight against Ukraine, instead of being pardoned by Putin, now receive conditional release, and must serve until the end of the war. They sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense for a year (instead of 6 months, as before), but it will be extended automatically.
Russian criminals will be able to receive full release and expungement of their convictions only if they are awarded a state award or released due to the end of the war, loss of health, or reaching the age limit.
Three points are relevant today, so the probability of returning from the war home, to Russia, to the murderers and rapists, who now also have combat experience, is quite high. This is what the relatives of the victims (including women and children), as well as neighbors, fear. They call the changes in the legislation “an illusion of security.”
“What is our fault that monsters are on the loose?”, “Let them be eliminated in Ukraine!”, “How can murderers be released?” – there are many such comments on social networks today.
It is worth understanding that in the Russian Federation, new crimes are most often committed by convicts-occupiers who have come on vacation or for treatment. In a short period of time, they manage to “distinguish themselves” again.
Chronicles of terror of “their own”
Russian criminal chronicles today are full of information about the crimes of the “liberators.” And it is very revealing.
For example, on February 7, Ruslan Altiev was detained in Perm , who had returned from the war – he killed the father and grandmother of his ex-girlfriend, who had run away from him.
The occupier had previously been convicted of rape and robbery, and went to war from prison. According to an acquaintance of the killer, Altiev threatened to “bang” the girl’s relatives if she did not return to him.
And on February 6 in St. Petersburg, a drunk Dmitry Zobnin began to pick on underage girls on a bus. Their friend stood up for them, after which the man called him a “cock” and then threw him off the bus and started beating him. The 16-year-old boy was hospitalized with serious injuries.
Zobnin also has a “rich” background: in 2021, he brutally killed a girl out of jealousy. The murderer was sentenced to 13 years in prison, from where he went to war.
Some of the prisoners are preparing for their second trip to Ukraine.
For example, Tula resident Gevorg Grigoryan was first recruited after he killed a man he suspected of having an affair with his former common-law wife.
Gevorg and Olena lived together for eight years, the couple had a child, and in 2020 they broke up – but the man continued to be jealous and pursue his ex. In 2021, he suspected Olena of having an affair with another man and as a result inflicted 38 stab wounds. Grigoryan was sentenced to nine years in prison, and from the colony he was recruited into the Wagner PMC. But at the end of January 2024, the “hero” suddenly appeared in his hometown and began to mistreat his ex and children. The woman called the police several times, complained about the threats, but they did not help her.
Once, on a deserted road, he hit Olena with a stun gun and began to strangle her. The woman escaped, but the police again did nothing to help. For a while, Gevorg disappeared, went to Pyatigorsk, but returned in the summer and began to harass the family again. And in October last year, he again attacked the woman and stabbed her 8 times.
After this attack, the brutalized prisoner-occupier was finally detained. He was sentenced to 8 years in a penal colony for attempted murder, but now he is asking for war again.
Artem Sychev, the record holder for convictions, was also sentenced for a new murder in the Perm Territory . In 2006-2016, he was convicted eight times for theft, fraud, robbery, kidnapping, assault, and intentional infliction of light, medium, and severe harm to health. And in 2021, he was given 7.5 years of strict regime for the murder of an elderly woman. And as soon as the opportunity arose, he enlisted in the war – he joined the ranks of the “Wagnerites”.
After returning home, Sychev got into an argument with his ex-wife’s new boyfriend because he had kissed her. The “hero” attacked him with a knife, saying, “I have slaughtered you sheep and will slaughter you again.” The man died in hospital the next day.
For this crime, the court mitigated the sentence due to the fact that Sychev participated in the “SVO” and has state awards – he was given 10 years in a strict regime colony.
Oleg Sokolov, a former associate professor at St. Petersburg State University, is now trying to get permission to go to the front .
In 2020, Sokolov was sentenced to 12 years and 6 months in a maximum-security colony for the murder and dismemberment of his graduate student Anastasia Yeshchenko (the girl tried to escape from him), as well as illegal possession of weapons.
He was arrested in 2019 after being caught in a river with a backpack containing the remains of a murdered woman. Now the 68-year-old maniac is looking to kill again.
Prisoners are being made an example of
While the curve of serious and especially serious crimes committed by occupiers who returned from the war is sharply rising, Russian schools continue to hold up “heroes” as examples.
For example, in the Moscow region, a meeting was organized for high school students with an occupier from the “Storm Z” unit, Sergei Barbin.
Barbin joined the war in Ukraine from a colony where he was supposed to serve 11 years for selling drugs.
Earlier in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation held a meeting of schoolchildren with “Wagner” Artem Dilmuradov , who killed a family of three at the age of 20. The foundation titled the post about the meeting with the mercenary “Family is the most important thing in life!”.
“Vagner” told the schoolchildren that participating in the war changed his life, and urged them to “respect their elders and be honest people.”
Here, as they say, no comments.
These creatures were disturbed before they went/go to the war, and it doesn’t take a degree in psychology to guess that they come back even sicker. Make no mistake, this trend is an ongoing one and a worsening one in mafia land. That’s what you call poetic justice.
