Dmitry Malyshev was sentenced to 25 years for two savage murders, armed robbery, attempted police killings, and cannibalism. He served just eight. In 2023, he was pardoned and sent to fight in Ukraine. Now, wounded and home again in the Volgograd region, his neighbors live in fear. Why? Because they remember what he did: how he cooked a man’s heart with onions — and ate it. In this chilling episode of From Russia with Crime, we trace Malyshev’s journey from prison cell to battlefield to quiet village streets, and ask: what does justice mean in a system that sends cannibals to war — and welcomes them back as heroes?
