The "Storm Z" units of the Russian army are in the spotlight for their controversial role. This unit was accused of using prisoners as "cannon fodder" for dangerous missions, causing a large number of **. However, some lucky prisoners had the opportunity to receive an amnesty from Putin** after six months of hard training, becoming so-called "Z heroes" and being able to reintegrate into Russian society. However, it is unbelievable that these "Z heroes" even include villains who have committed heinous crimes. In 2008, 19-year-old Nikolai Ogolobiak and seven other accomplices brutally abused four teenagers between the ages of 15 and 16, including three girls and a boy, according to Russian reports. This series of crimes strictly followed the "Satanic" rituals, and one of the victims was brutally tortured with up to 666 knives.
The scalps of the other two girls were peeled off, the left breast of one girl, and the heart and tongue of the other were cut off and grilled for consumption. These ** were also doused with the blood of the victims and photographed with their heads. After them, these criminals behave arrogantly in court, even pretending to be crazy and stupid, and have no regrets about their crimes. In the end, these criminals were sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison. However, it is unbelievable that Nikolai Ogolobiak actually joined the "Storm Z" unit during the "special military operation", and although he was wounded in the operation, he still survived for six months, and was released home as a result, all criminal records were erased, and he even became a "Z hero". This incident caused great indignation and reflection in society. Neighbors are terrified of the so-called "Z-Heroes" because they know what kind of threat this devil poses to them, especially those who have children at home.
They fear that their children will fall prey to this devil. What's even more disturbing is that there is not only one such devil in the garb of "Z Hero". Denis Kolin, a resident of Sakhalin, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for intentional homicide and desecration of a corpse in 2003. Incredibly, he was released on parole in 2010 for his outstanding performance. However, in November of the same year that he was released on parole, the devil killed another person and cut off the flesh from the victim's leg to eat. In 2011, Janis Colin and his brother Evgeny secretly murdered another person. When they finally committed it again in 2012, they were both sentenced to 22 years in prison. Like everyone else, Denis Colin joined the "Storm Z" and became a "Z hero" who was pardoned by Putin. Today, he is recuperating in a hospital in South Sakhalin.
After recovering from his injuries, he will become a free man without any criminal record and also carry the aura of "Z Hero". The late Evgeny Prigogin also had some requirements when recruiting prisoner mercenaries in the prison system of the Russian Federation, in particular, not to be mentally ill and **. These devils are an even greater threat to their own people than to Ukrainians. However, with the acceptance of the prison conscription program by the Russian Ministry of Defense, it seems that there are no restrictions left, as long as you can fight, no matter what garbage can join the "storm Z". "Storm Z", like "Storm V", is a unit that is considered a victim. However, the problem is that the strength of the Russian army in general is not necessarily much higher, and the "Storm Z" is not particularly weak. The crowd tactics currently employed by the Russian army are causing problems for both Russian and Ukrainian forces. The Russian army does not care about the loss of personnel, they only care about whether they can exhaust and deplete the enemy.
Military blogger MilinfoLive posted a ** on the Telegram group, showing a tired soldier who appeared to be sleeping, but in fact he was dead. The front-line commanders had time to dispose of the bodies, but chose not to. Why is that?Because if there is no body, there is no need to report it. As long as these soldiers are "alive", the commander can continue to receive their salaries. Although we have not been able to confirm Milinfolive's claim that Russian officers continue to receive salaries for concealing the death of soldiers, some sources indicate that the Russian Ministry of Defense does not pay pensions to the families of "missing Russian soldiers" in accordance with the principle of "no body, no case". More and more families of Russian military personnel only know that their loved ones have disappeared on the battlefield in Ukraine, and it is not known whether they are really missing or whether they have not been reported after they were killed.
Ukraine** revealed that most of the Russian troops killed in the "special military operation" are ethnic minorities, including Buryats, Tuvans, Bashkirs, Tatars, Dagestans, and especially Buryats, and the ratio of their dead to the total ethnic population has always been in the leading position. In the Buryatia region, "Z heroes" are buried almost every day. And residents from Moscow and St. Petersburg have the lowest mortality rates, while Tuvans are 100 times more likely to die in Ukraine than Muscovites. The Russian Ministry of Defense is giving priority to the recruitment of personnel from the most remote and economically underdeveloped regions of Russia, such as Buryatia, Bashkiria, Dagestan, Tatarstan and Khakassia, while the number of troops from large cities such as Moscow or St. Petersburg is much smaller.
There have been reports that Russian minorities have been massively conscripted into the "special military operation", and some have accused the Kremlin of genocide against minorities through war, but the Kremlin and the Russian Defense Ministry have not responded. According to open reports, it does seem that the Russian Ministry of Defense did not recruit too many people from core areas such as Moscow and St. Petersburg. However, the main victims of the high rate of losses in the "special military operation" appear to remain ethnic minorities, marginalized people, prisoners and foreigners. This information has sparked concern and controversy over the mobilization policy of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
