Heroes and villains: Russia braces for eventual return of its enormous army |

Russian wife killer Azamat Iskaliyev had served less than a third of a nine-year murder sentence - for stabbing his spouse to death in his car in the summer of 2021 because she wanted a divorce - when he was freed and pardoned by Russia in return for fighting in Ukraine. After returning to civilian life, he knifed an ex-girlfriend more than 60 times after she rejected his advances. In July, he was jailed for more than 19 years for the frenzied murder. Iskaliyev's case is a shocking example of the social problems that could await Russia as hundreds of thousands of soldiers - some of them pardoned convicts - return home following an eventual end to the war. |
