Putin's freed convicts return: Chaos threatens Russia's cities

Criminals released by Vladimir Putin to fight for his interests are returning from the Ukrainian front to their homes in Russia. Residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg are on edge, and the local police must maintain order and keep a watch on rapists and murderers. "Murderers are already driving around the city," says Yuri Yashkov, head of the Main Investigative Directorate in St. Petersburg.

Russian law enforcement must ensure that criminals released by Vladimir Putin remain calm. The dictator pardoned many rapists, murderers, and other dangerous criminals and sent them to the front lines to fight against Ukraine.

Now, dangerous criminals are returning to their homes, reports "The Moscow Times." Local police and federal services are monitoring them. Yuri Yashkov emphasizes in an interview with the portal fontanka.ru that he is "closely monitoring the situation."

We know who is being released; murderers are already driving around the city, declaring that they no longer want to get into conflict with the law. However, only some of them cooperate with us. Not all released convicts act this way. We strive to constantly monitor dangerous criminals who could threaten public peace," explains Yashkov to the portal fontanka.ru.

Russia. Criminals are trying to blend into the crowd

Russian services have their hands full due to Putin's decision to release them. Criminals try not to draw attention. Photos of one murderer who worked as a taxi driver in St. Petersburg were circulated among the services. "We did not want to put customers at risk," stresses Yashkov.

The head of St. Petersburg's security services admits that released criminals committed 83 crimes. Most of them belonged to the "Wagner Group." Thirty-seven criminals who returned from the war committed suicide. So far, in Russia, there has been one high-profile case of a murderer who returned from the war and killed someone.

Alexei Isakov shot a friend because the man owed him five million rubles.
