A Ukrainian citizen released from a Russian prison colony said that only Muslims supported him

Ukrainian citizen Andrey Kolomiets, sentenced by a Crimean court to 10 years, was released from IK-14 in Krasnodar. He is currently in a deportation center. He had previously converted to Islam, since only Muslims supported him during his imprisonment.

Before his arrest, Kolomiets lived in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic after he left Ukraine. Then he was accused of attempting to kill Berkut fighters during the Maidan in Kyiv in the winter of 2014 and of drug possession. He did not admit guilt and said that he confessed under torture. After that, Andrey Kolomiets was placed in a pretrial detention center in Nalchik.

“I was facing life imprisonment, there were threats from security forces. The only people who supported me then were Muslims in Nalchik and then in the colony. After that, I converted to Islam,” the man shared.

Alaudinov has found himself in disgrace again: his book (yes, he writes them too) has been called heretical

The Defense Ministry's "talking head"—the deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces, also the commander of one of the "Akhmat" formations—has been promoting the idea of ​​a global, joint confrontation between Russian Muslims and Christians against "Satanism" since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war. He regularly finds himself in various scrapes: with the Zetniks, with nationalists, and with Orthodox priests. And the more he tries to "cross a snake and a hedgehog" with his obvious desire to be "one of the guys," the more harshly he is criticized from all sides.
