"Previously killed a person to death." A witness to the beating of a veteran of the special operation has been detained.

      After the arrest of the recidivist Anton Cherkasov, who beat a participant of the special military operation in Revda, representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs identified and detained another local resident. He was present at the scene of the incident, although he was supposed to remain at home during that time of day. The official representative of the Sverdlovsk regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Valery Gorelykh, shared new details about the criminal case involving the beating and insult of the combat veteran with the Uralweb.ru portal.

      The detainee, with the last name Pushkaryov, born in 1974, also has a rich criminal record, including involvement in armed robbery, causing serious bodily harm resulting in death, and illegal drug trafficking, Colonel Gorelykh reported. "Having served his sentence for a particularly serious crime in Chelyabinsk colony No. 15, he was released on March 16, 2026. It seems that resting long on the outside is probably not in his life principles.

      Currently, investigators suspect Pushkaryov of violating supervision rules. He was required to be at home from 10 PM to 6 AM, but on the day of the conflict, he was present at the scene of the incident in the deep of night," the police department representative said. "The supervised individual did not show civic responsibility and did not take any measures to prevent the beating and insults to the veteran."

      Pushkaryov has been detained under the article of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation and placed in a temporary detention cell of the local police department, Colonel Gorelykh noted. The main suspect is already in the temporary detention facility of the Revda police. "The accused expressed remorse for his actions and in a video asks for forgiveness not only from the victim himself but also from his wife and all defenders of the Fatherland," Valery Gorelykh commented on the video recording of the apologies made to the victim. "Initially, he did not consider it necessary to apologize to the victim, only stating that he regrets what happened."
