During fighting on one of the fronts, the Ukrainian Defense Forces eliminated not just another russian infantryman, but a person with a history of serious criminal offenses — andrey nikolaevich vlasov, born October 28, 1992.

He served in the 9th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 18th Guards Motorized Rifle Division of the 11th Army Corps of the russian Armed Forces.

In 2022–2023, Vlasov committed acts of violence against two boys born in 2010, taking advantage of their vulnerability — the victims were 11–12 years old at the time of the crime.

Russian investigators were looking into his involvement in other crimes as well, but did not have time to complete their investigation. Despite the severity of the charges, the muscovite never ended up in prison — on September 29, 2025, the criminal signed a contract with the russian army.

His training was hurried: as early as November 15, the pedophile was sent to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, from where he was immediately deployed to the front lines.

Life on the front lines proved short for Vlasov — he was killed almost immediately after arriving.

The russian army continues the systematic practice of recruiting individuals who should be serving sentences for serious crimes. Instead, they are given weapons, effectively encouraging violence and impunity.

Upon their return, such individuals pose a direct threat to russian society itself, committing new crimes.
