Permyak, who served time for a brutal murder, ended up as part of the Wagner PMC

A resident of the Perm Territory, Dmitry Zelensky, convicted in 2019 of a brutal murder, was pardoned by decree of the President of the Russian Federation and went on a special operation as part of the Wagner PMC. This information was reported to the father of the girl killed by Zelensky at the GUFSIN in the Rostov region.

“Zelensky was released by decree of the President of the Russian Federation on pardon. We clarify that for additional information related to pardon, you have the right to contact the Main Information and Analytical Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation,” says the department’s response, as cited by 59.RU. Earlier, Zelensky’s mother said that her son had been in a special operation since November 2022, and he received a pardon this summer. URA.RU sent requests to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and the Main Directorate of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Rostov Region. Responses from the departments are awaited.

Zelensky was sentenced to 11 years in a maximum security colony for the brutal murder of his girlfriend. In 2018, he dealt with his lover, with whom he lived in Gubakha. The killer put some parts of the body through a meat grinder and flushed them down the toilet; the rest of the remains were thrown into the river. The examination found the Perm resident sane.
