He returned from the front as a wounded war hero. His mother welcomed him with open arms — days later, he beat her to death. But instead of standing trial, he signed a new contract and walked free… back to war.

As Russia increasingly shields its fighters from prosecution, we ask: how many crimes are being buried under medals, and what happens when the battlefield becomes a legal escape route?
