In Novosibirsk, a former generalist beat his wife with a one-year-old child in her arms. He got off with a fine. According to the publication True Siberia, the man was prosecuted for petty hooliganism, fined and released three days after his arrest. His wife was diagnosed with a concussion. The case was dismissed because no crime was allegedly found. The victim said that her husband drinks a lot and was serving a sentence for negligent homicide before he was sent to the front. Now she and her son live with their parents and plan to divorce, fearing for their safety.
