**Alexey #Sherstobitov**, known as **Lyosha #Soldat**, became one of #Russia's most infamous contract killers in the 1990s while operating as part of the **Orekhovskaya organized #crime #group**.
He is estimated to have carried out **30–50 contract #killings**, using silencers, disguises, and meticulous planning. His targets included **gang leaders, businessmen, and figures involved in #criminal conflicts**.
**Arrested in 2006** after years on the run. In 2007, he was sentenced to **23 years in prison** for **12 proven murders, illegal possession of weapons, and participation in organized crime**.
While in prison, he wrote a book, *The #Killer's #Diary* (2013), in which he described his life, motives, and remorse.
Well, there you have it! How can we keep such a future teacher locked up? He wrote a book, he repented! Just a few more killings—and straight to the kids. We trust in the humanity of our #justice #system!
