1/ A Russian police major has reportedly pleaded guilty to selling data on the vehicle used by Alexander and Darya Dugin before it was blown up by apparent assassins last year. The case highlights how personal data in Russia is corruptly traded by insiders. ⬇️ Image
2/ The ultra-nationalist Dugins were targeted in a vehicle bombing last August, following which it emerged that police officers had been systematically stealing and selling data from police databases – including selling tablets with privileged access.
3/ It's probable that the assassins, who killed Darya Dugin while her father escaped unscathed, made use of stolen data to target the Dugins. Now, the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports, the police officer who sold the Dugins' data has pleaded guilty to criminal charges.
4/ VChK-OGPU names Ivan Rybin, a former employee of the Department of Internal Affairs of the South-West Administrative District, as the person who leaked the data. He was arrested on 20 April 2023 on charges of violating privacy and abuse of power, following an investigation.
5/ According to VChK-OGPU, investigators found that Rybin had looked up the Dugins' vehicle data on 4 May 2022. On 6 May 2022, he passed on the data to an individual named by the head of the Russian Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, as Daniil Chowdhury.
6/ According to Rybin's wife, he routinely traded in stolen vehicle data via chat channels where he communicated with customers and via which he received a request for the Dugins' data. He is reported to have pleaded guilty and his case has been sent to court for sentencing.
7/ Rybin's wife says that he operated "in the dark" and did not know the other parties personally. They communicated anonymously via messenger apps. Bastrykin has attributed the bombing to two Ukrainian citizens who left Russia after the attack. /end

1/ Injuried Russian marines near Tokmak in the occupied part of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhya region were berated and beaten unconscious by their political officer when they asked for medical assistance. The incident was recorded and illustrates how Russia's political officers work. ⬇️ Image
2/ According to the ASTRA Telegram channel, the men – who are from the 2nd company of the 3rd reinforcement battalion of the 810th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade – took "heavy fire" near Robotyne before their company commander ordered them to withdraw. Image
3/ The men were presumably defending some of the extensive trench systems that the Russians have built in the area. They say that they were "without communication, drinking water and food," and there was no evacuation of the wounded or dead from the battlefield.

1/ Russian soldiers say they were forced to crawl across minefields, taking huge casualties, because their commanders had falsely reported to their superiors that their objectives had already been captured. Those who refused to attack were shot in the legs by their commander. ⬇️ Image
2/ In an audio message published by the ASTRA Telegram channel, men from the Russian 15th Guards Motorised Rifle Regiment complain that they were "forced to take the so-called 'Moustache', it's a forest belt. We are forced to go to the minefields with our chests."
3/ "Why are we so driven there? Because the bosses have already reported that they have already taken everything."

They say that they had to attack a Ukrainian "fortress" guarded by four machine guns and a mortar.

1/ Parents of teenagers at Alabuga Polytechnic in Tatarstan say their children are being exploited to work long hours building Shahed kamikaze drones in dangerous conditions. Some parents are rescuing their children from the facility, despite facing large fines for doing so. ⬇️ Image
2/ As described in the thread below, Alabuga Polytechnic is a STEM college that has been repurposed as a military drone factory. As well as recruiting Russian children, it's reportedly catfished African girls via dating apps to perform menial work.
3/ Hundreds of children aged 15-17 are reported to be assembling Shahed drones from parts provided by Iran. Ostensibly, they are undertaking a "dual programme" of study and work with a 70,000 ruble monthly salary ($719). In reality, their studies have reportedly been abandoned. Image

1/ The Wagner Group is reported to have effectively been kicked out of Belarus, with thousands of its remaining fighters being bussed back into Russia. The Belarusian leader, Alexander Lukashenko, is reported to have refused to finance Wagner's stay in his country. ⬇️ Image
2/ The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports that Wagner fighters are being taken by bus from their camps in Belarus in batches of 500-600 to Voronezh, Rostov and Krasnodar in Russia. The first stage of the withdrawal has already taken place and a second will begin after 13 August. Image
3/ According to a VChK-OGPU source, Lukashenko refused to pay for Wagner's presence in Belarus and instead expected Moscow to fund it – which apparently it hasn't done. A small number of Wagnerites are expected to stay on in Belarus as military instructors.

1/ Widespread reports are emerging of a programme of forced military recruitment in Russian penal colonies, with prisoners being evaluated for their fitness to be drafted into 'Storm Z' assault units. Desperate convicts are said to be trying to contract HIV to avoid the draft. ⬇️ Image
2/ The Russian prisoners' rights group has been reporting for several weeks on indications that a mass mobilisation of convicts is planned, or already underway. Unlike Wagner's voluntary prisoner recruitment, this appears to be intended to be forcible.Gulagu.net
