Russia’s System of Fear: Fake Police and Escapes Through War

In this episode of From Russia with Fear, we examine three disturbing stories that reveal the growing chaos inside Russia. A fake police officer in Moscow uses a forged МВД badge to manipulate and rape an 18-year-old girl during a fabricated “undercover operation.” Meanwhile, former Russian officials convicted of corruption are avoiding prison by signing military contracts and heading to the war in Ukraine. And in another shocking case, a decorated Russian soldier shoots himself twice in the foot to avoid returning to the front line. These stories expose a country where fear, violence, corruption, and desperation are becoming part of everyday life. From abuse of authority to the hidden reality behind Russia’s war effort, this episode looks at how power is being exploited — and how ordinary people are suffering the consequences.
