“He shouted: “I’m an officer, nothing will happen to me””

In Yekaterinburg, a drunken “hero of the SMO” beat with a hammer a pensioner who is engaged in the patriotic education of youth. The police did not see a crime in the actions of the military personnel and released him.

On the evening of June 3, a “SMO veteran” living with his mother, 38-year-old Yuri Lopatin, broke into the apartment of his neighbor, 63-year-old pensioner Mikhail, and began hitting him on the head with a hammer.

The soldier’s rage was caused by a pensioner’s complaint to the police about noise from the Lopatins’ apartment, said the victim’s daughter. The “Hero" decided that the pensioner had insulted his mother.

The police who arrived at the scene refused to detain Lopatin, saying that the attacker was still going to leave for SMO. Officially, the local Ministry of Infernal Affairs stated that a “mutual fight” occurred between the men, and "the information about a hammer was not confirmed".
