      A famous journalist revealed what the operatives think about the case of Reveruk, who attacked a scientist.

      On August 9, 2026, the well-known journalist of "Komsomolskaya Pravda," Vladimir Vorsobin, specifically traveled from Moscow to Yekaterinburg to learn firsthand the details of the criminal case regarding the death of scientist, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences Nikita Zezin, after a conflict with local entrepreneurs over their children, who were damaging the crops of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the village of Istok, and to form his own opinion on who is to blame for what happened and who are the victims in this case.

      The former school teacher, now a correspondent for the publishing house "Komsomolskaya Pravda," shared his conclusions on the air of the program "What Will Happen" on "Radio KP." Colleagues of Nikita Nikolaevich Zezin, with whom the Moscow guest managed to talk, describe him as a good and kind, albeit hot-tempered person. Vorsobin learned that the day after the conflict with the fathers of the children at the institute building, he received an award for his professional achievements from the regional government.

      "I think he sustained more of a psychological injury than a physical one," Vorsobin said on air. He also quoted local operatives who acknowledged that the beatings inflicted on the employees of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences by the accused Reveruk and Wagner—"in our practice—this is administrative."

      "They dragged this case out, leaving both sides of the conflict in a suspended state," Vladimir Vorsobin placed part of the blame on the officials who were investigating the case before one of the participants died of a heart attack. "The connection between the beating and the professor's death is certainly present, but it is precisely in that the person found himself under the threat of accusations of almost pedophilia. And we know what a terrible page this is for our law enforcement agencies, what terrible sentences they impose for it."

      Vorsobin suggested that the men who attacked the scientists might have been under the influence of alcohol. "They sent the kids out to ride, and they were even without helmets, while they went off to do their own business," the journalist expressed his opinion.

      "They say they have been doing this for years," he confirmed the lack of parental control over the minor quad bikers. On the field of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, they found glass from broken children's glasses, which had been lying there since last summer, the journalist reported.

      After the publication of his article on the "KP" website, he received a lot of hate for feeling sorry for the children, whose quad biking in the institute's fields led to this dramatic collision. However, in the journalist's opinion, it is the children in this story who are the most affected—after the professor, who simply did not survive it.

      And not only because of the burden of sharply negative public opinion. They may have even deserved it. "But as an educator, I can say that the line between upbringing and spiritual maiming of a child is very thin," noted the "KP" journalist.

      "They put their fathers in jail," explained Vladimir Vorsobin, outlining the main punishment. If the causal link between the death of Nikita Zezin and the beating is proven, the case will be classified as serious.
