In Crimea, at the request of Interpol, Russian police arrested Vadim Pogodin, a leader of one of the gangs of the DPR, known under the call sign Kerch. Thanks to the hacktivists from the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance<\/a> and CyberHunta, InformNapalm international intelligence community received additional information about Pogodin’s crimes from the report, sent to the Russian security services by the MGB DPR in 2014. But first things first.<\/p>\n

Panic in the ranks of the DPR on plans to extradite Pogodin per Interpol request<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The information that Russia plans to extradite Pogodin to Ukraine caused real hysteria among militants in social networks. Pogodin is charged with a number of serious crimes: torture of Ukrainian prisoners and the murder of Stepan Chubenko<\/a>, a 16-year-old football player from Kramatorsk. In the summer of 2014, Pogodin’s thugs took Stepan off the train because he had a ribbon with colors of the Ukrainian flag on his backpack, tortured him, and then shot him. Pogodin himself was among the killers. The body of the murdered boy<\/a> was given to his family three months later.<\/p>\n

After committing crimes in the Donbas, Pogodin fled to Crimea. The accomplices of Kerch report that currently he is in a temporary detention facility in Simferopol, the issue of his extradition to Ukraine is being decided. Photographs of the written decision by the Yalta City Court dated June 21, 2017 appeared in social media:<\/p>\n

At the same time, an accomplice of Pogodin, Sergey Dubinsky (call sign Khmury), who is suspected of committing a number of crimes, including participation in the downing of flight MH17, denied the possibility of extradition in his post on the social media website Odnoklassniki:<\/p>\n

“I just flew from Crimea. No one will give him away, he will stay there for a maximum of 40 days and will be released. The decision on extradition will not be made. It\u2019s good for Kerch to serve these 40 days, he is to blame, he deserves it by 200% … for the following: At the time when Crimea joined the Russian Federation, he lived there and has every right, like any Crimean citizen, to Russian citizenship. Okay, he went to Donetsk in April 2014. But since September, for THREE YEARS, could he have gotten off his ass and went to get a [Russian] passport? And now we are running about, making decisions, spending our energy, time and money.”(archive<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Sergey Dubinsky is a member of the Union of Donbas Volunteers<\/a>, which is personally supervised by the Russian president’s aide Vladislav Surkov. The terrorist is trying to use connections at the highest level to prevent extradition, but the Ukrainian citizenship of Pogodin quickly hampers the issue.<\/p>\n

Despite the Khmury\u2019s assurances, militant posts in social networks speak of hysteria in their midst: the leadership of Russia betrayed them. In particular, one well-known militant, Yevgeny Tinyansky<\/a>, said that this precedent “opens a Pandora’s box” and shows that former “militiamen” are not protected even in the territory of the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n
