The hero of the Russian Federation army was presented on social media on the Telegram channel Chelyabinsk of the Future. It turned out that a local community representative was bravely fighting in the war with the neighboring country. This individual is a convicted murderer, sentenced to 18 years in prison. He left the prison walls by voluntarily enlisting in the invaders' ranks.

According to its declaration, Chelyabinsk of the Future is an "anti-war project of the Urals" that describes and shows "the truth about the war and mobilization." The authors revealed on social media that Vladimir Putin's army includes some of the worst criminals.

On the Telegram channel, members of the Chelyabinsk community exposed the infamous deeds of Aleksander Jerutin, a city citizen currently fighting in the war. Jerutin murdered his stepdaughter, and although he was sentenced to 18 years in prison, he didn't serve even a year.

He was released because he agreed to go fight. Now, he is actively engaged in the war. If he survives, he will not return to prison.

The dictator signed the decree allowing the mobilization of people convicted of serious crimes in November 2022, when it became clear that the war in Ukraine was not progressing as smoothly as the Kremlin had hoped. The army's ranks, decimated in the fight with Ukraine, had to be replenished.

A list of sentences that precluded enlistment in the army did exist. However, in practice, even the worst murderers and degenerates were continually recruited, often by the now-deceased Wagner group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.

This situation also applies to the conscript, who goes to the front to avoid punishment. As disclosed by the city’s anti-war service, on July 31, 2022, Aleksander Jerutin strangled his concubine’s 18-year-old daughter with a wire in a house on Pressovshchikov Street in Chelyabinsk. Her mother held the girl's arms, so she couldn't resist. The couple hid the body in a trash can overnight.

The details of this crime are also discussed in a video material from local TV, attached to the post, along with war photos of Jerutin and his partner. The event in July shocked the local community.

The worst criminals are fighting in the war started by Putin

Four days after the murder, the strangled girl's body was found at a waste sorting center. The remains of the murdered girl were packed in a bag and taped up.

Investigators quickly identified the perpetrator. The court sentenced Jerutin to 18 years in a high-security colony. However, not even a year had passed when the murderer began posting war photos.

He signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense three weeks after the sentencing. He was injured in the fight, which he boasted about on social media. He was in a hospital in the Belgorod region.

He is now considered a war hero. "If Aleksander Jerutin survives the war, he will walk the streets of Chelyabinsk," notes the Telegram post.
