Putin sends cannibals to front in Ukraine | War Ukraine and Russia

The Russian army is continuously looking for new troops to deploy in Ukraine, including in prisons. It is estimated that Moscow has already recruited 100,000 detainees in exchange for future amnesty. These include murderers, rapists, and therefore also cannibals.

They can “pay with their blood for their crime,” said Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman. Their efforts even earn the criminals the title of “heroes of the special military operation”.

Two of those “heroes” are Denis Gorin (44) and Nikolay Ogolobiak (33), both convicted of various murders and known cannibals. Gorin was sentenced to 22 years in a penal colony in 2018 after killing at least four people. He is said to have eaten the flesh of one of his victims. The latter happened in 2010, when he was released on conditions after a previous murder conviction in 2003.

Ogolobiak received a 20-year prison sentence for the ritual murder of four teenagers in 2008. The man was a member of a Satanist group at the time. Together with six friends, he got his victims drunk and took them to a clearing, where a gruesome ritual took place.

The perpetrators formed a pentagram and lit a fire in it. They jumped on their victim and stabbed them with daggers. One of the victims received 666 stab wounds. This was followed by a beheading with a machete and the perpetrators took photos next to the severed head. Some body parts were cut off, the body dismembered. The heart and tongue were fried and eaten.

Neither Gorin nor Ogolobiak are actively fighting at this time. Gorin posted a photo of himself on social media last month, showing him in what appears to be a military uniform. However, he is said to have been injured and is currently being treated in a hospital in the Russian city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. His neighbor told the news site Sibir.Realii.

Ogolobiak moved in with his mother as a free man earlier this month after six months of service. His father told the website 76.Ru. He would have been injured and would now have a disability.

The release of detainees who fought at the front in Ukraine is controversial in Russia. Local media have already reported several incidents in which they again committed serious crimes, including murders.
