A resident of the Arkhangelsk region, Vyacheslav Yasev, received his first conviction back in 1999 under the Criminal Code (CC) of the RSFSR - he was given a suspended sentence under Art. 158 of the old Criminal Code for “illegal production, sale or storage of alcoholic beverages.”
In 2005, Yasev was given another suspended sentence for “wrongful taking of a car or other vehicle without the purpose of theft” (Article 166 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Having not yet served his sentence, the future Ukrainian nationalist found himself in 2006 under investigation for “battery” (Article 116 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). This time he was sentenced to 140 hours of compulsory labor, which was later replaced by arrest for 15 days. Subsequently, at the request of the prosecutor’s office, the court also reviewed his case of “taking possession” of the car, ultimately giving him two years in a general regime colony. Until 2008, he served his sentence in Penitentiary No. 7 in the Arkhangelsk Region, sewing uniforms for prisoners. And only after that Yasev went to his relatives in Ukraine. However, he did not renounce Russian citizenship.
Vyacheslav Donguzov, a former resident of Udmurtia, took a similar path. In December 2014, the young man found himself under investigation - the police accused Donguzov of committing two “burglaries” (Part 2 of Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), during which the attacker got a tablet and 9,8 thousand rubles.
In February 2015, when the investigation into the case for which Donguzov faced up to five years in prison was ending, he fled to Ukraine. It was not difficult to do this, since the accused was at large - he was given undertakings not to leave the place and proper behavior.
Donguzov himself told Ukrainian journalists that he was forced to flee to Ukraine because of bullying from fellow students at a military school.
