"I registered my children under his name, and I can get 5 million. Then he will go to the special military operation": The combat allowance has driven women in the rear to madness. Even the daughter of an officer has lost her conscience.

Domestically, the scandal caused by "black widows" is causing a stir. These people who covet combat allowances have entered into marriage more than once, draining the frontline soldiers, and forming groups to turn this into a production line. Should we legally crack down on these fraudsters, or is this despicable phenomenon impossible to eliminate? "Tsar's City" will provide an in-depth analysis for you.

She laughed hoarsely:

"He went to the special military operation, and I registered all the children under his name. We are a happy couple. I can get the allowance - 5 million. Plus 20 to 30 million per month. And (curse word): kindergartens (curse word) have discounts, schools also have discounts. As a soldier's wife, there are also allowances. We can (curse word) live well, and even go on vacation to the seaside. Then, in short, let him be killed there."

Anastasia, 27 years old from Tyumen, didn't want to expose her "business plan" in front of the entire country. She accidentally mentioned it during a live stream with a product salesperson. But someone leaked this monologue online.

Which article of the criminal code should be applied here?

Tyumen is a small city, and neighbors revealed the situation of this "betrothed woman": she is a saleswoman raising three children. It is said that her husband is serving a sentence, and she wants to divorce him so she can establish a relationship with her new lover.

Later, Anastasia tried to defend herself. She told the Telegram channel "Alert News":

"I have a husband. To register a marriage with one person, it takes time. You need to first get a divorce, and reasonable people will understand this. I will explain everything later, but I don't have time now."

She claimed that her words were taken out of context:

"Before that, I had already made it clear that I was repeating what others said. I have many acquaintances participating in the special military operation. My friends died there. I won't respond to this video clip. There's no need. I know the truth."

The law enforcement authorities are investigating the details of the case, the regional police chief's press office stated.

But what will be the result? Just to label it as moral decay? Military blogger Zhyov believes that we shouldn't focus our anger on a single woman. We need to "conduct a secret investigation to find out how many such women are waiting for soldiers in the rear and what they are thinking about."

Representative Nina Ostanian insists that social condemnation is needed:

"This belongs to the moral sphere. The law cannot regulate immoral issues. For girls who spread this idea, I will impose administrative fines on them because they insult others' reputation and dignity."

The representative said that it is important not to equate all women with "black widows". Because most soldiers' rear areas are stable.

"We have dealt with people stronger than you, and we can deal with you without any problem."

Major Vladimir Medvedev, a recipient of three "Courage" medals, survived after serious injuries, underwent arm amputation surgery, and eventually returned home. However, there was no sign of his wife or property in the apartment.

Vladimir married shortly before joining the special military operation. His wife's stepfather is an officer. This young woman asked him to adopt her daughter from her first husband, and he immediately agreed: he was raised in an orphanage and always dreamed of having a family and children.

Medvedev was at the front lines from the start of the special military operation. His comrades repeatedly engaged in battles against enemies with a huge disparity in strength, and this young commander always stood side by side with them. When his unit provided cover for the famous "Alyosha" tank against an enemy column consisting of eight armored vehicles, the soldiers respected this commander because he was fair and personally participated in the hardest battles.

Vladimir lost both arms in May last year. At that time, he was carrying an injured soldier on the battlefield when the enemy threw grenades at them. His arms were amputated in a hospital in Mariupol, and then he received long-term treatment in hospitals in Rostov-on-Don and Moscow.

"Before going to the special military operation, I left my wife a bank card. She bought a car - it's convenient for her. Later, she asked me to buy an apartment in Ussuriysk, saying she didn't want to live in a military camp. I bought the house, paid for the renovation, and bought new furniture."

- This soldier told "Tsar's City".

Major Vladimir Medvedev, recipient of three "Courage" medals.

"Did she visit you in the hospital?"

"She came for three days. She said she didn't have time. I thought she would stay longer and help me. She even advised me to change cars. And she came after I had agreed to buy a new car."

It was the wife of Medvedev who proposed the divorce. He had long suspected that his wife had someone else. In October last year, this hero received a court summons. His wife requested to divide all the property.

This May, Vladimir returned home. His wife's lover gave him the keys and threatened, "We've dealt with people stronger than you, and we can deal with you too."

The apartment was completely ransacked: even the chandelier on the wall was removed.

"She stole my documents, including my diploma, the red certificate from the Blagoveschensk Military College. Hospital certificates, medal certificates were also stolen. It's very difficult to reissue them."

This hero proposed legal protection for soldiers' subsidies, which should not be divided among others:

"I face health and life risks 24 hours a day on the front line. Yet those who are already estranged from each other can get everything in a divorce. Why?"

A related criminal case has been filed. Troubles are far from over.

Five-member crime group and police

Yuzhnyy Vartovsk is investigating a case involving a five-person criminal gang led by a "black widow". A local woman persuaded single men to marry her and sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense. Four men who agreed have died in the front line.

This criminal gang from Yugra exploits single individuals for profit. The criminals got subsidies - at least 3.5 million rubles each. A police officer was also involved in sharing the loot, leaking information about single citizens. The gang was investigated after a relative of a fallen soldier reported it to the police.

Judicial examination and a month's consideration period

Volunteer Roman Aleshin told a story about a nurse who married five soldiers who were about to die in battle. Victor Egorov, a lawyer from Abakan, defended this "eternal bride". He told local media that these marriages were voluntary, without coercion, deception, or violence. Otherwise, their marriages would not have been registered.

Aleshin disagreed with this view. "This is fraud," he explained to "Tsar's City":

"It's simple to prove fraud. The Criminal Procedure Code stipulates psychiatric examinations. It's easy to expose the fraudsters. The examination results can serve as evidence for criminal cases. Once there is a precedent, everything will follow the process. A month's consideration period can be set before registering the marriage."

"Exploiting millions from sons and cheating": Soldiers in the special military operation are declaring war on "black widows". But there is a detail.

What's the result?

Marina Kostyurko, the mother of a Ryazan soldier who died in Sujat, successfully prevented her son's wife from claiming property in court. The soldier's marriage had already broken down, and the court ruled for divorce, but Marina died before the ruling took effect. After Ryazan, the court in Bryansk also refused to pay the subsidy to the "widow".

To protect the interests of soldiers, relevant legal amendments are being considered. The proposal states that if the marriage was registered after February 24, 2022, property cannot be divided in the event of a divorce.

If the State Duma approves the amendment to the Family Code, when divorcing a soldier on the front line, the court will consider the duration of the marriage - at least three years, shared property, and minor children in common.

Marina Kostyurko, the mother of the soldier, said:

"We are facing professional scammers. Young men fell into the traps of the scammers. Just like many people fall into the traps of financial scammers. It's time to stop this."
