Blowback
We have seen stories here and there of Russian troops going home and creating havoc. The Guardian had one specifically of surviving Wagner going home and resuming a life of crime. This came as zero surprise. So I am going to highlight a section from their morning story:
At the end of March, Yulia Buiskich, an 85-year-old pensioner, was killed at home in the sleepy town of Novyj Burets in the Kirov region, 600 miles east of Moscow.
The perpetrator, 28-year-old Ivan Rossomakhin, was already a repeat offender when he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for murder in 2020. He too was recruited by Prigozhin and recently returned to his home town after fighting in Ukraine.
News of Rossomakhin’s return deeply unsettled Novyj Burets’ modest community of a few hundred people and led to a town hall meeting, which was filmed by a local TV channel.
“The state and personally Putin and Prigozhin are to blame for Yulia’s death and should answer for it,” said a close relative of Buiskich, speaking under condition of anonymity.
“They released a sick bastard into society.”
This is hardly an isolated story. Instead of quoting Telegram sending you to a piece with a few more. Realize, one of the objectives of this program is as a way to clean the prisons and get rid of these people at the same time.
