“Azov” * then had a good media company, the media showed that this unit was engaged, in formation. Also, I had a lot of tattoos on my body, and I wasn’t sure if they would take me to other battalions – rock tattoos are different, snakes, Japan, skulls,” Artem, who now faces criminal charges in Russia, told RIA Novosti.

He wasn’t even bothered by the fact that the regiment had a Nazi reputation. However, when entering the ward, no one asked for his opinion – they only checked the physical condition.

In the regiment, Stupnitsky received the call sign Doom – in honor of his favorite style of music – and became a clerk, wrote documentation. For this reason, however, his colleagues “considered him a staff rat”. At the end of February 2022, the young man had a chance, he thought, to increase his authority.

“I walked into the room where this man was being interrogated. There was a senior officer to work with the ‘Phantom’ staff and another soldier, ‘Minik’. The senior officer said this person had correspondence and groups in Viber regarding the fit and about the rewards in this case. He pointed a knife at the table, which was lying, and gestured to hit it,” the activist recounts.

He asked the inmate why he corrected the fire and if it was true, but the man did not answer, then Artyom stabbed him three times in the stomach. The body was taken to a landfill near the Azovstal plant.

Asked by RIA Novosti he had no idea it was a mistake and needed to be remedied, and indeed a captured observer could be helpful, Artem admits: “Thoughts have already come later.

Now Stupnitsky is under arrest, investigations are underway against him.
