Up to 113 active Russian servicemen were convicted in 2023 - a near 900 per cent increase on just 13 in 2022
The number of Russian soldiers committing murder after returning home from the frontline have soared over the past few years amid “chronic mental health” issues linked to serving on the battlefield.
Data from Moscow’s judicial department showed that 113 active servicemen were convicted in 2023 - representing a near 900 per cent increase on just 13 convictions in 2022.
The UK Ministry of Defence said the high number of homicides was likely due to “war-related chronic mental health issues” and the release of thousands of ex-convictspardoned for their participation in the war.
See, it’s all planned, because they then arrest the criminals and ship them right back to the front! So efficient!

And they even had their training beforehand. Murder, conviction, battlefield. What would that take, half a week?
