When Protection Fails: Police Violence and Corruption Cases

In this episode of From Russia with Fear, we explore three disturbing cases that reveal the reality behind power, violence, and vulnerability in modern Russia. A disabled war veteran is beaten in his own home during a police raid gone wrong. In another region, a soldier is tricked out of nearly two million rubles by people he trusted. And in Udmurtia, a former government minister is caught driving under the influence of drugs, leading to criminal charges. These stories show how quickly roles can change — victims become suspects, trust turns into betrayal, and authority loses its meaning.
