Some of them are then forcibly sent to the war.
This was told to ASTRA by one of the soldiers who served in unit 36994 in Mulino, Nizhny Novgorod. According to him, the “guilty” military — mostly mobilized — are illegally detained and subjected to violence in a destroyed building on the territory of the headquarters of the 47th division, created in 2022 by the 272nd motorized rifle regiment, next to a small training ground.
Judging by the report to the authorities, which ASTRA has at its disposal, the acting commander of the unit, Captain Bogdan Romanov, is “in charge” of the illegal prison. In the former armory, men are kept for days without water, food and a toilet under the supervision of the military police. They are not allowed to undergo medical examinations or surgical operations and, according to the source, “they are kept just like cattle.”
For example, a mobilized man who lost part of his leg in the war, was kept in this room for several days.
According to the source, soldiers were bullied, going as far as including an airsoft grenade. At least three detainees had their ribs broken with a police baton, and then were sent back to the war. According to the source, in order to “hush up” this incident. The names of all four victims are at the disposal of the editorial office.
The head of the medical unit is aware of what is happening in the “torture room”, but does not report it anywhere.
The applicant made an appeal to the IC and the prosecutor’s office but was refused to initiate criminal proceedings. According to local security officials, no one is forcibly detained in the unit, the soldiers are waiting for medical examinations and phones are taken only from those who violate discipline.
“The local prosecutor of the Mulino garrison Kardanov covers him there,” said an ASTRA source.
