Notorious convict returns injured from Ukraine war front

Hundreds of convicts released to the front as part of military penal units are participating in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The notorious murderer and cannibal Dmitry Malyshev returned injured to his home village.

In a village near Volgograd in southwestern Russia, fear has taken hold after 36-year-old Dmitry Malyshev returned injured from the invasion of Ukraine. Malyshev is one of the prisoners released by Vladimir Putin to the front as part of the penal military unit Storm-V. The convicted criminal was released in June 2023, 17 years before the end of the 25-year sentence he was serving.

Dmitry Malyshev was imprisoned in 2015 for triple murder. His crime was known nationwide because of cannibalism. He seasoned the heart of one of the victims with herbs, cooked it with vegetables, and then ate it. Malyshev filmed the dismemberment of the 46-year-old immigrant from Tajikistan, as well as the cooking and eating of the macabre meal. Earlier, he had shot two businessmen with a machine gun.

According to the v1 media portal, Malyshev returned from the front to his home village of Rakhinka. Mayor Fyodor Kadovba stated: "I spoke with him." The criminal sustained jaw and hand injuries. The Kremlin requires that all released prisoners who fought in the war in Ukraine are treated as "heroes." They are to be part of Russia's "new elite."

On the front, Dmitry Malyshev befriended another released convict, rapist and killer, 38-year-old Alexander Maslennikov. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison for killing two saleswomen, Daria Labutina (29-year-old) and Olga Shaposhnikova (28-year-old). He used an axe and a meat grinder to cut up and grind the bodies of the two women he had invited to his apartment for pizza. He then fed the dogs human meat. He was released to the front 18 years before the end of his sentence.

Malyshev told Russian media that he and Maslennikov, fighting for Putin, want to "preserve Russia's traditional values." Hundreds of convicts released to fight in the war have been re-arrested after committing further crimes upon returning home after their military service.
