"Claiming Officer": dissatisfied conscript of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was awarded for 5.5 years

In the presence of his comrades, the soldier Oleksandr Leshkov quarreled with the officer, exploded with obscene swearing and threats to his address. The conscript complained about the poor organization of the service and the provision of mobilized property. Russian conscript Alexander Leshkov, who criticized the actions of the military leadership, was sentenced to 5. 5 years in prison on January 11.

The Moscow Military Court ruled that Leshkov was guilty of "injury" to his commander during military service. About it reports the British The Guardian. The incident between the Russian soldier and the officer occurred on November 13 after "partial mobilization" was announced in the country.

Upon his arrival at the Patriot Training Center, in conversation with the officer, he complained about the poor organization of the service, providing the property of mobilized and fire training, and also urged comrades to execute command orders. Surrounded by his comrades, the conscript exploded with obscene swearing and threats to Lieutenant Colonel Mazanov, let go of a cigarette into his face, and when the officer approached him, hit him in his chest.

As a result, Leshkov was arrested and taken to a pre -trial detention center, and then a criminal case was initiated against him under Part 2 and Part 3 of Article 334 of the Criminal Code (violent actions against the chief taken during the mobilization or martial law). The sanctions of the article are imprisonment for up to 15 years, but the conscript has been sentenced to 5. 5 years in prison.

In an interview with the newspaper "Moscow Komsomolets" shortly after the incident, Leshkov said that his early complaints were repeatedly ignored by his superiors. At the same time, he apologized for his behavior. "It is a pity that I have to suffer for the truth. It is a pity that Mazanov had not intended to cause him physical pain and moral suffering. It is worth holding myself in my hands," the soldier said.

We will remind, in social networks there was information that the Russian military command began demonstration detention of mobilized soldiers who refused to fight against Ukraine. According to the Peter's Telegram channel, on November 20, two mobilized servicemen were arrested in Belgorod during the military order on the place, writing the whole process on the camera.
