After convicts were released for war, Russian children were 77% more likely to be victims of sex attacks.

It has been reported that Yury Gavrilov, a 33-year-old man, has been accused of committing a heinous crime - raping a young schoolgirl for several hours. This shocking incident is just one of many that have been on the rise in Russia since the controversial decision made by President Vladimir Putin to pardon convicts who fought in the war against Ukraine.

According to an analysis by We Can Explain media, the number of people convicted of child abuse has nearly doubled in the past year. Disturbingly, there has been a 77% increase in the most severe cases of sex crimes against minors, and a 50% increase in violent sex crimes with aggravating circumstances. In the first half of this year alone, 147 people were convicted, compared to 97 the year before. Many believe that this rise in crime can be partially attributed to the return of former convicts from Putin's war in Ukraine.

One such returnee is Vladimir Aleksandrov, a 40-year-old veteran of the private army Wagner. He had previously been convicted of rape and is now facing charges of raping and murdering an 11-year-old girl named Nastya Yakina in Nizhny Tagil. The girl's father, Alexander Yakin, is devastated by the loss of his wife to cancer and now his daughter in just seven weeks. It is reported that after committing the crime, Aleksandrov discarded the girl's body in a basement where it was later found being gnawed on by rats. It is shocking to think that this man was not only released from jail to fight in Ukraine, but also pardoned by Putin after serving only six months of his remaining eight-year sentence.

Another war returnee, 33-year-old Yury Gavrilov from Orenburg, was also pardoned and released by the Kremlin. He is now facing charges of luring an 11-year-old girl to his apartment and subjecting her to a two-hour ordeal of rape and torture. As the number of crimes against children continues to soar in Putin's country, it has been revealed that the government is proposing a new bill that would impose strict punishments for insulting governmental officials.

Under this new bill, individuals who publicly insult government officials could face up to two years in prison and high fines. This adds to an existing article in Russia's criminal code that already covers insulting government officials. However, the punishment will be even harsher if the insult is posted online or appears in the media. It seems that Putin is cracking down on anyone who speaks out against him, even if it means restricting freedom of speech and imposing stricter punishments for those who dare to criticize the government.
