As the Cheka-OGPU found out, the Main Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia for Moscow came to court with a petition in support of Pustovalov. Judge Ekaterina Ivanova, however, considered that the petition “confirms only the fact of cooperation of the convicted person with the preliminary investigation authorities, and does not in itself entail the satisfaction of the stated requirements.” Sasha the soldier was eventually denied transfer to a colony-settlement.
Law enforcement officers supported Pustovalov’s request to soften the regime last year. True, not at the level of an individual petition. But the administration of IK-9 changed its opinion to the diametrically opposite one within a year. Last year, a representative of the colony at a court hearing left the decision on the killer’s petition to the discretion of the court, but this year he considered supporting the petition inappropriate, “since most of the term [Пустовалов] committed violations of the detention regime.”
Sasha the soldier has a little less than a year left to serve. He is scheduled to be released on November 18, 2023.
At one time, Sasha Soldat dealt with the leader of the Assyrian organized crime group Alexander Bijamo, the leader of the Kuntsevo organized crime group Alexander Kaligin and many other “authorities”, ordinary bandits, businessmen, etc. He personally took part in the strangulation in Greece of another famous killer, Alexander Solonik (Sasha the Makedonsky).
