On February 9, Yekaterina Polyanskaya was brutally killed by her ex-husband, Kirill Cheplygin, who also murdered her partner. Both crimes were recorded on CCTV. Following his arrest, Cheplygin applied to fight in Ukraine, a trend among Russian prisoners seeking to avoid jail time. A local petition expressed community fears over his potential release, as wartime policies often lead to pardons for violent offenders who serve in the military. This situation reflects a broader rise in violence attributed to criminal veterans, challenging societal safety in Russia.
Both killings on Feb. 9 were captured on CCTV and have sparked a push within the community to prevent Kirill Cheplygin from potentially returning, fearing he might continue his spree.
In Putin's wartime society, policies that pardon criminals if they fight in Ukraine have led to a surge in crime by returned veterans and criminals.
