In Magadan, a 61-year-old woman welcomed her wounded son home from the war with open arms. By the next morning, she was dead — beaten beyond recognition by the very son she adored. In this harrowing episode of From Russia with Crime, we examine the murder of Lyudmila Klushina, the trauma of returning soldiers, and the disturbing trend of war veterans avoiding justice — by returning to war. Through case after case, we reveal how domestic violence, rape, and murder are being excused in the name of service, and why justice in Russia now bows to camouflage.
