A Murderer Came Back from War — Now He Terrorizes His Wife’s Elderly Parents

In this episode of From Russia with Fear, we tell the story of two elderly pensioners who say they are living in constant fear inside their own apartment. Their son-in-law, Alexey Vasilevich, was once convicted of murder, later received a presidential pardon, and fought in the war as a Wagner mercenary. After returning from the front, he obtained a share of the family apartment and, according to the pensioners, began threatening and terrorizing them. Igor Tedeev, who suffers from cancer, and his wife now hide in a small bedroom of their two-room apartment to avoid conflict. The couple say the man insults them, threatens violence, and has already been convicted once for beating his own wife. Police visits and complaints have not changed the situation, and criminal cases are repeatedly refused due to “lack of evidence.” The pensioners say they even considered moving to a nursing home to escape the danger, but medical needs and high costs made that impossible. Now they remain trapped in the same apartment with a man they believe capable of violence at any moment. This episode explores how pardoned convicts who fought in the war sometimes return home with a sense of impunity — and how families and neighbors can become the next victims.
