"Vagner" PVC is returning empty coffins to the relatives of Russian prisoners killed in the war in Ukraine.

Some of these "dead" turn out to be alive.

This was reported by the Russian publication "Meduza" with reference to the TV channel "Dozhd".

So, Russian Angelina (name changed) buried her husband in the winter, and later found out that he was alive and still in Ukraine.

The woman said that her husband was serving a sentence in one of the Russian colonies.

Angelina learned about the fact that he was recruited to the "Wagner" PMC from a relative of another convict.

The woman shared doubts about her husband's voluntary consent to the company's offer.

According to the Russian woman, the 

man treated Ukraine well

.

In autumn, the former prisoner was already sent to Ukraine and stopped communicating.

In December, Angelina received a phone call from the employees of the "Wagner" PMC, who reported that her husband

had died in the Bakhmut district

.

Later, his family

issued a closed zinc coffin

, medals from "Wagner", a certificate of honor and a death certificate.

At the same time, Angelina was convinced of the impossibility of a mistake when she asked if her husband's body was really in the coffin.

"They told us that there is no need to open the coffin, because before sending it (to the front - ed.) they take some DNA and when the corpses are found, they compare them. They told us that they give a hundred percent guarantee that it is him," the woman said .

A few weeks after the funeral, a stranger wrote to Angelina that

her husband was alive and in Debaltsevo

 , Donetsk region.

A few days later, another unknown person called the woman from a Ukrainian number, who introduced himself as an employee of the SBU.

He said that the Russian woman's husband is alive and 

was captured 

at the end of October 2022.

The stranger also described the wounding of the mercenary, from which, according to the Wagner employee, Angelina's husband died.

The interlocutor said that as a result, the man's life was saved.

After that, the woman turned to the Federal Penitentiary Service, where they refused to provide her with information about her husband.

At the same time, the military commandant's office confirmed that the ex-prisoner was wounded and captured.  

It is noted that "Dozhdya" journalists managed to find

several similar stories

in social networks and Telegram chats .

So, after receiving the coffin, some of the relatives are afraid to open it, and representatives of the "Wagner" PMC strongly recommend not to do so.

We will remind, according to the data of the USA, as of December 2022, the owner of PVK "Wagner" Yevhen Prigozhin sent 50 thousand mercenaries to fight in Ukraine.  

It should be noted that the districts around Bakhmut and Soledar, where the occupiers are unsuccessfully trying to seize the entire Donetsk region, are literally littered with corpses of "Wagnerians".

According to military expert Oleg Zhdanov, Prigozhin "has his own interests in salt mines and limestone" there.

In the meantime, women who are serving sentences in Russian prisons have already begun to be recruited to the "Wagner" PMC.
