The approach of Russian services towards people, especially after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, is alarming. Officers are particularly brutal toward citizens criticizing the "special military operation." A video of a "war hero" being brutally beaten by officers has recently surfaced online.

Russians are known for their harsh methods and lack of empathy towards the vulnerable. This is evident in Ukraine, where children and sick people are not spared. Kremlin soldiers bomb hospitals and schools; nothing is sacred to them.

They exhibit similar behavior towards their own citizens within Russia. After tightening the law, people cannot even wear colors reminiscent of Ukraine. Every protest is brutally suppressed by the authorities.

As it turns out, these services also show no mercy to veterans of the "special military operation." The Belarusian channel Nexta shared on social media a brutal video of a soldier being beaten at a police station in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan.

Beating of a soldier in Russia. The man died

According to Belarusian journalists, 48-year-old Akhmet was arrested and taken to the police station for disturbing the peace. A recording from what appears to be a prison cell has surfaced online.

He was escorted by four police officers. His hands were cuffed behind his back. He must have been aggressive because the officers subdued him while he was lying on the ground. At one point, you can even see one of the officers using a stun gun on him.

The arrested man was reportedly beaten on the head and choked. The officers even decided to jump on his body. The incident was caught on camera and the clip was released by propagandists, reports Nexta.

The officers eventually decided to call for medical help, but it was too late; the man had already died.

The Russian authorities show no mercy to detainees. It's worth recalling that after the terrorist attack on Crocus Hall near Moscow, detainees were subjected to torture. They were transported to court in terrible condition. No one even tried to hide the state in which the detainees were found.
