uksh to life imprisonment, the beginning of the term on october 19, ninety-second. one of the oldest and most colorful convicts , alexander zubarev, 69 years old, has spent the last 30 behind bars. this man has a rich criminal biography, six murders and robberies.

a criminal lived in the moscow region, ramenskoye in kislovodsk, well, what is there to hide, i was an ordinary russian bandit, and this was my life, yes, an ordinary russian bandit, who are you by profession, an ordinary, ordinary russian bandit, who are you by profession? i studied by profession once, but i’m not i studied first at a trade college in nalchik, then i left this college from the army, when i came to finish my studies, i entered the army, began to finish my studies, there was something i didn’t like there, there next to university, it seemed to me that the students at technoree were looked at as second-class, i said, i won’t do it anymore study somewhere you want me to end up at the university. at the faculty of economics, but

also dropped out of it, my life was already a little different, girls, wine, weed, music, crazy money, these things always need money, it won’t work without it, the convict understands that with such a past, udo most likely does not shine, and he no longer hides his atrocities, i understand correctly, according to the old code, you have 102. 146 and ninety -one, i understand correctly that 146 is robbery, yes, ninety-one is state robbery, 102 is 102 and after reading the verdict, i saw that there were four women and two men, yes, whom you once killed, well, yes it was, you admit it, it was the case, i generally fully admit all my criminal offenses, from the very first day, as almost that, when i was arrested, a pensioner for life, even

while behind bars, i didn’t waste any time. back in 2007, i met a woman through a newspaper and soon got married. now he is worried, letters from his beloved wife take a very long time, but zuborev remembers his past life with undisguised pleasure. i lived on apartment, i was already on the run, my crime was committed in kislovodsk, and i realized that i had been exposed, i had to. to run away, i went to moscow, well, in moscow i have more there, money began to fall, i rented an apartment there, lived in one woman’s apartment, and how much money was needed, remember then for a normal life, well, i’m getting my bearings in today’s money russian, of course, in that money, of course i know my way around, i remember very well then 100-200 rubles was nice money, well, go to a restaurant how much did a girl cost when... with

a girl, well, 30 quarters, fifty dollars was enough, like that, fifty dollars was enough, quite, this is with the usual soviet salary of 120, yeah yeah. the necessary conditions have been created for this at the torbeevsky central; this is the medical

part of the institution for convicts, for life-sentenced prisoners, for life- sentenced prisoners, that is, everything is behind bars, everything is behind bars. even such a seemingly mundane procedure as measuring blood pressure is carried out only through a screen. how do you feel? ok, thank you, let's measure, here we are again in the building for life prisoners, there are three of them on the territory: on the first floor there are working cells, on the second there are living cells. each door has signs with photographs of convicts and articles of the criminal code attached to it. each one has an impressive list. this is done, firstly, for order, and secondly, so that the guards never forget who they are dealing with and

are always on the alert. you walk through these corridors several times a day, aren’t you scared at all? no, it’s not scary, it’s our job and we have to go around. regime corps in order to check the conditions of detention of convicts and how employees carry out their service. i see that on some of the signs there is this inscription: prone to attack by employees? yes, these are categories of professional accounting, they are also condemned, they are placed on professional accounting, and accordingly , work is carried out with them accordingly. but these funny things look like garbage cans. as you said, these things are called a key catcher, it's made for in case there is an issue. so that the employee serving here in the building can urgently reset the keys that lock the living cells so that convicts cannot seize them and, accordingly, release other convicts. we walk along the prison corridor, here is

the cell in which alexander zubarev is spending his time, he is a pensioner, he does not work , he is constantly behind bars, the colony employees open the arrays. serving his endless sentence, this is my wife, today, lera ivanovna zubreva, this is 5-6 years ago, a photo of her, she’s young, like everyone else, it’s me, my grandfather is already old, we’ve been constantly

making out lately, biting, well, i’m with i do it with love, well, girl, why argue with her, she also tries to do the same with me, well, no matter what we have. “we still know, if god willing, he gave me away from here, we will be together anyway, it’s so happened in our lives that we can’t have it any other way, and this is a working cell, the killer vladimir tsyp is behind a sewing machine, what are you now you’re sewing, luxury, prague luxury, we’re putting it together, it’s beautiful, and you’re free.”

convict, do you understand the court’s decision? those sentenced to life imprisonment have the right to parole. liberation. in connection with the preparation of materials for the court, the personality of the convicted person is assessed, how he served his sentence for the entire period of time, his attitude to work, study, for the entire period of serving his sentence, his attitude towards the crime committed, whether he repented or not. the final word in this matter lies with the court, one of them

is the zubovo-polyansky district court of the republic of mordovia. for you, as a judge, how serious, how difficult would it be to make a decision that a person sentenced to life imprisonment would be released. yes, that's it the decision will probably be made very, very difficult, very difficult, because by studying the documents presented, including the sentences for which they were convicted. he is serving a sentence of imprisonment for life, but such a decision will be very difficult to make; when making such a decision, the judge is guided only by the law and his inner conviction; if the court comes to the conclusion that the person has indeed reformed and does not need to further serve his sentence, the court makes a decision, and we are returning to torbeevsky central again, we will meet with more one sentenced to life imprisonment, hello, the russian federation

will reap only freedom, the beginning of the term is october 22, 1993. this is alexander kurnosov, originally from penza, a murderer. i know why i’m sitting here, so i don’t rap and so on and so forth. for me it’s not that hard to endure all this, because you have to pay for everything. his story. simple: school, army, then work in the forestry, one day he invited friends, a girl and a young man to a picnic, sat and drank, then a scene of jealousy and snubs killed both of them, they detained him a few days later, he ended up going to jail for the rest of his life. we do not forget at all that alexander kurnosov is a murderer, but he is strikingly different.

well, they are my family, how can they be afraid of me? well, they also have neighbors who will know that neighbors have come to visit, they always, as they say, send various greetings, even write there, let’s just say, they knew me as a normal person, well, it just happened spontaneously like that, for many years now , the murderer alexander kurnosov has been an exemplary prisoner, works, paid off all civil claims, believes that if he is lucky enough to be free, his relatives...

cannot be kept in a cell, we would say there are 10 there, okay, well, this is my sister, these

are her nieces for her daughter, that is , they don’t forget you here, no, they don’t forget me, they come to me, well, it’s for their son’s birthday, their mother was still alive, your relatives forgave you for everything you did, well, relatives, they always forgive us, we always remain the closest people to them, as it were... personal opinion, will the hour ever come when a russian prisoner for life will be released? well, the law does not exclude this right, so i think, yes, the convicted person has the right, the court will consider, if the convicted person is worthy of parole, the court will make the right decision.

some of those sentenced to life, having spent several years behind bars, suddenly remember their past crimes, which they previously preferred to remain silent about, then , after checking the application, the prisoner can be transferred to the specified region, where the investigation into the old case will be resumed. this is how many crimes have been solved in recent years. as for the convicts, some of them talk about old cases very willingly, because for a while the investigation transfers them to a pre-trial detention center, where the regime is simpler and they don’t have to work, and sometimes everything turns upside down and the guards end up under investigation. this is footage from a field session.

court in the polar city of labatnanka, district judge igor poluyakhtov reads out the verdict against local ubsin operative yuri sandrykina. the officer worked in the famous colony for lifers, polar owl. among its inhabitants, who staged a bloody massacre in a moscow supermarket, is the former head of the capital’s tsaritsyn police department, denis evsyukov. the only beslan terrorist taken alive was nurpashi kulaev. to improve his performance, yuri sandrykin extracted confessions from prisoners in high-profile cases. under his pressure

, several convicts admitted to involvement in crimes, 190 in total , including the murders of journalists anna politkovskaya and paul klebnikov. the court found lieutenant colonel ufsin yuri sandrykin guilty of exceeding official authority, stripped him of his special rank and sent him to a maximum security colony for 3 and a half years. according to our information, after the end of his term, yuri sandrykin returned home to the village of kharp. now he lives 100 meters from the same polar owl where he worked for many years, and next to him behind the prison wall behind several rows of barbed wire are lifers who once confessed to the crimes they committed. yuri sandriken is probably not there’s only one like that, but

sometimes it’s not easy to shed light on the work of his colleagues, checking even in an ordinary ordinary colony... plans for the future, this is the khabarovsk territory, here is the only colony for life prisoners in the far east, behind the scenes and calls it a snowflake because seven-rayed in shape, each of those serving life sentences

in the snowflake has a very dark past. capacity limit for convicts. freedom of 378 people, today we have 279 in custody . there were cases of applying for pardon, 15 people applied for us, this year two have already applied person. we are talking about stanislav and igor tishchenko, father and son. in the mid-nineties , the elder tishchenko stanislav organized a criminal group in irkutsk. the younger igor entered her. the gang fiercely fought for a place in the sun, ignoring not only the laws of the state, but the foundations of the underworld. we were engaged in racketeering and...

now this can only be seen in the movies on the hands of father and son tishchenko, the blood of at least seven people, the verdict in...

whatever it was, whatever it was, who is right and who is wrong, now , now this is no longer the important thing, the important thing now is that there are no people, you can’t bring them back, well, i believe that if god

wants, we will leave here, if not, then we will accept, we will agree that we are ready to die here. perhaps many of our viewers are not very interested in information about how the conditions of detention of murderers and terrorists, pedophiles and leaders of criminal gangs are improving. there is still a question in society, why do we feed these animals at all, but this is what distinguishes the state from the degenerates, that it lives according to the law, even if some laws seem to some of...

almost all of these people with mental disabilities will behave, probably, they all need serious, absolutely serious supervision and control, which will be impossible to do

even within the framework of a colony settlement. we don’t know what the fate of the lifers who wrote a request for parole will be , or whether the court will meet any of them halfway, but we must clearly understand what these beasts have done. bloody crimes, and suddenly finding themselves free, how will they adapt to modern society? let's say frankly, all they know how to do is kill and theatrically repent before judges and journalists, won’t humanity play a cruel joke on them and on us? that we have committed a crime, life cannot be turned back, you can always find somewhere to go, as they say, if with help i free myself, at least

one, someone will be freed from... russia, then there is already a chance. this is how we saw the criminal stories of seven criminals sentenced to life imprisonment, who cling to life with all their might. this was our investigation from mordovia and khabarovsk territory. the conclusions of the case are only for you. see you on the russia-24 tv channel.

here all the feelings are heightened to the limit, happiness has resurrected me, she loves me, call sign passenger, i’ll come back for you, do you hear?
