Unemployed Igor Rudykh, who in 2017 was sentenced to 6.5 years for the attempted murder of his colleague in a compartment of the Bryansk-Moscow train, was arrested as an intermediary. According to the verdict, Rudykh and his colleague were returning from a business trip to Moscow. They first drank in a restaurant before the train, and then continued with cognac and beer in the carriage compartment. Approaching Moscow they fell asleep. The conductor came in to wake them up, a colleague got up and began to wake up the Rudykhs. He didn’t get up. Then the colleague lay down and dozed off. The drunken Rudykh nevertheless woke up; it seemed to him that his colleague was beating him. Rudykh approached him and stabbed him in the neck with some sharp object. The colleague woke up, bleeding, began to resist, was able to get out of the compartment and fell in the carriage corridor. Rudykh overtook him and once again stabbed him in the neck with “a metal object, possibly some part of the carriage.” Then Rudykh grabbed the latter and hit his head on the radiator at least twice, after which he struck him repeatedly with fists of both hands in the face area. He was stopped by the conductor and the director of the dining car.
