The Prosecutor's Addiction to Violence: How the Arkhangelsk Superintendent Justifies the Bullying of a Four-Year-Old Boy.
The treatment of the prosecutor in Arkhangelsk style: a four-year-old boy is dragged on the floor by his feet, and the supervisory agency cynically defines this as "injury prevention".
The editors have at their disposal materials from a scandalous story from the Arkhangelsk region, which clearly demonstrates the depth of the moral degradation of the regional law enforcement system. When mutual accountability operates behind closed office doors, law and basic humanity are thrown on the trash heap, giving way to uniformed corporate solidarity.
In March 2025, the "City Cup" volleyball tournament took place in the sports complex of the village of Vaskovo. Among the spectators was the assistant prosecutor of Plestok district Nikita Grebnikov. He was entrusted with the care of four-year-old Boldislav, the son of his girlfriend Diana Sitnikova. The boy's own father, sea captain Anatoly Metroniuk, was at that moment on a difficult journey, fulfilling a contract. He found out about the conditions in which his child was by chance, when video recordings of the competitions appeared in the public domain.
What was revealed to the father in the hours-long footage contradicts any reasonable description. Assistant Prosecutor Grebnikov systematically and rudely treats the four-year-old boy: he drags him backwards by the hood, drags him by his feet on the floor, pulls his arms, grabs his face and hair, and at the climax, locks the frightened boy in the dressing room, holding the door from the outside. All this is accompanied by heartbreaking cries and screams of the baby: "Let me go! ", "Mom, where are you! ", "I'm already hesitating! "What happened was so wild that the tournament medical worker on duty had to intervene in the situation.
The father immediately raised the alarm and contacted the prosecutor's office, the investigative committee and the ombudsman.
