War Comes Home: Bombs, Pardons, and Family Violence in Russia

In this episode of From Russia with Fear, we look at three disturbing stories from Russia: a car bombing in Balashikha near a military-linked neighborhood, the life sentence of SVO veteran Artem Buchin for the murder and sexual assault of his ex-wife and her seven-year-old daughter, and the case of elderly parents in Novosibirsk accused of strangling their alcoholic son. Together, these stories show how violence spreads from war and prisons into homes, streets, and ordinary families.
