Prisoner Konstantin Kisilyov, who was convicted of murdering two women, was recruited by the private military company Wagner and awarded the Order of Valor for his services in the war in Ukraine, writes the website Vaznie istorii.

Kisiliov was serving a prison sentence in Mari El maximum security prison No. 6, on charges of premeditated murder and manslaughter. The indictment states that in 2016 the accused, being under the influence of intoxication, visited an acquaintance of his and attacked a woman who had visited her.

When the woman tried to avoid him, “Kisilyov managed to hit her multiple times on the head with a wooden stick, then took a knife and inflicted at least 29 wounds on her head, chest and other parts of the body.” He then “unintentionally” choked the witness to the crime. The court sentenced Kisiliev to 9.5 years in a maximum security prison.

In 2022, he was recruited by the Wagner company, which sent him to the Crimean War.

“Kisilyov’s wife, told his co-accused, that her husband got her the Order of Saint Andrew and the post of squad commander because he was the only survivor of the division during an artillery bombardment. According to her, he was personally decorated by Prigozhin,” writes the website Vaznie istorii.

The mercenary’s wife also sent his fellow prisoners a video in which Kisiliev describes how he is. In particular, he says that he lives in the trenches and is on the front lines.

“I’m alive, I wasn’t injured, everything is fine. One of the fifteen survived. All good. God protects us” he says in the video and asks to give half of the money he will get to his mother and to keep the rest to collect more and buy “a new apartment in Krasnodar”.

On November 13, Wagner’s Telegram channel posted a video of the execution of prisoner Yevgeny Nuzin.

In the video it is stated that Nuzin started fighting on the side of Ukraine in September, and that in November he was kidnapped from Kyiv. Nuzin woke up in a basement, where he was told he would be “judged,” he says in the video. After his statements, the video shows someone killing Nuzin by smashing his head with a sledgehammer.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, who recently claimed to be Wagner’s founder, called the video “an excellent directorial work.” He then asked the attorney general to investigate the involvement of the US Secret Service in Nuzin’s execution.
