Sergei Spiridonov
Biography
Serviceman. After the start of a full-scale invasion, he tried to leave the service, committing disciplinary offences. In May 2022, the command of the military unit decided on his early dismissal, but for unknown reasons the private was never dismissed. After the start of "partial" mobilisation, Spiridonov escaped from the military unit five times, hiding at his girlfriend's accommodation. A case was opened against him for leaving the unit in wartime for more than 10 days and for more than a month. On 6 April 2023, Spiridonov was sentenced to seven years in a general regime colony.
