The Antiquarian, The Axe, and The Elevator Attack | Crime and Violence Across Russia

In this episode of From Russia with Fear, we examine three disturbing cases that reveal different faces of violence in modern Russia. Investigators detain influential businessman Ilya Traber in connection with the 2020 sniper assassination of businessman and politician Alexander Petrov. In Kaluga, a 75-year-old father is accused of killing his son with an axe after years of conflict. And in Vladivostok, a teenager is brutally beaten by a stranger over a minor incident in an apartment elevator. From alleged contract killings and organized crime connections to family tragedy and senseless street violence, these stories raise difficult questions about power, anger, and accountability.
