0:05 I don't know, they found a similar person, apparently. For example, I know where my husband is.
0:11 He came like a load. How everything happened there, we do not know. We buried him.
0:17 Some bullying started on the Internet. I think if there was something - there would be something, I guess.
0:25 The video contains footage which may shocked.
0:28 This material is about an occupier who shot two civilians in the back in March 2022 in the Kyiv region.
0:35 The Ukrainian court sentenced this Russian to life imprisonment. Actually, in absentia.
0:41 We spoke with the occupier's wife and sister.
0:44 Their accounts of what happened to their relative after he shot innocent Ukrainians differ.
0:51 My name is Karina Bugaichenko, I am a journalist of "Slidstvo.Info" and today I will tell you about a Russian - Nikolay Sergeiovich Sokovikov.
0:59 The future occupier and war criminal was born in Omsk 28 years ago.
1:05 He graduated from school there, then the local armored engineering institute, married Nelya Alegovna, who works at the Center for Physical Education and Mass Work in Ulan-Ude.
1:15 The couple had a daughter 5 years ago, and later a son.
1:19 Sokovikov is serving in the 212th District Training Center of Tank Troops of the Siberian Military District.
1:27 In military unit #21250 of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
1:31 The first months of Nikolai's invasion were directed to the Kyiv region.
1:34 There he committed war crimes.
1:36 From the page of Neli's wife, you can see when Nikolai returns home to Omsk after committing crimes on the territory of Ukraine,
1:44 then the family goes to the sea, often travels.
1:47 Nelya actively supports the occupation of Ukraine.
1:50 Here, for example, she published the anthem of Buryatia on, as they say, "Special War Operation".
2:00 Even in civilian life, Nikolai is obviously proud of his involvement in the military.
2:05 Here he is, for example, photographed in a T-shirt of the Wagner's group.
2:09 Nel's wife told us in a telephone conversation that now a lot of hate has fallen on her husband.
2:16 Both the opposition media and the world media write about his war crimes. But about everything in order.
2:21 On March 19, 2022, video surveillance cameras recorded a stolen minibus with the letter "B"
2:28 and the inscription "Tank Special Forces of the Russian Federation" arriving at a car dealership near Kyiv.
2:32 The Russians are entering the territory.
2:34 The story unfolds near
2:35 the village of Mriya, which is 15 kilometers from the Ukrainian capital.
2:38 Two Russians are heading to the bike shop next door.
2:42 They are noticed by the owner of the car dealership and the security guard, who are currently in the premises for security.
2:48 Civilian unarmed men come out with raised hands.
2:51 The Russians convinced that these people did not pose any threat to them and gave them the opportunity to leave.
2:57 However, as soon as the men moved a few meters away, the Russian soldier Nikolai Sokovikov,
3:01 together with another occupier, opened fire with automatic weapons,
3:05 directly into the backs of the civilians.
3:07 A total of at least 12 shots were fired from the specified automatic firearm into the back and pelvis.
3:14 The owner of the car dealership, Serhii Yuriyovych Muravytskyi, dies immediately from gunshot wounds.
3:19 He was 61 years old.
3:21 Another man, a security guard, manages to crawl to the security room.
3:25 At this time, surveillance cameras show how Sokovikov, who had just shot civilians,
3:30 entered the premises of the car dealership together with other occupants.
3:33 Bottles of alcohol can be seen on their table.
3:40 They loot the premises and run away.
3:44 At this time, the guard loses a large amount of blood.
3:48 He manages to call his friend.
3:50 He informs territorial defense.
3:52 Ukrainian defenders arrive at the car showroom, but do not have time.
3:56 Leonid Oleksiiyovych Plyats died.
3:58 He was 68 years old.
3:59 The next day, the daughter of Leonid Oleksiyovych Yulia wrote on her Facebook page.
4:05 Father..
4:06 I can't believe it.
4:07 How so?
4:08 You loved life, you loved it so much.
4:10 You said you wouldn't shave until we won.
4:13 I remember well our last conversation.
4:16 How so? Why?
4:17 You said you were safe there.
4:19 I do not believe that you are now lying in Boyarka.
4:22 I love you so.
4:24 I called my relatives, the owner of the salon, and the security guard.
4:28 Relatives pass as victims in the case regarding the war crime committed by Nikolai Sokovikov.
4:33 But they refused to comment on anything.
4:35 For them, this is a great loss from which they still cannot recover.
4:39 Instead, the killer Sokovikov continues to live his best life.
4:43 This is broadcast on the page by his wife Nelya.
4:46 Here, for example, he returned home on vacation after killing innocent civilians.
4:51 The wife published a video for the song with the words "It's not your fault, this country ordered it."
5:06 And this is him, as he came home from "Special War Operation" on vacation.
5:10 I went to jump into the pit with my wife.
5:19 And this is the Sokovikov family making fun of their own country.
5:22 Here they participate in the interactive, namely in voting.
5:25 Referendum on preservation of the USSR.
5:31 You can vote endlessly in this simple way. It is always like that in Russia.
5:38 Sokovikov himself deleted his pages in social networks.
5:41 We found his six different numbers.
5:43 They tried to call him, but he never answered.
5:45 However, we spoke to his wife and sister.
5:48 Nelya Alegovna, I wanted to ask you how you feel about the fact
5:52 that your husband, Nikolai Sokovikov, was sentenced to life imprisonment.
5:59 How do you feel about it?
6:01 I understand what you are talking about.
6:05 Because some kind of harassment started on the Internet.
6:08 Yes? But where?
6:10 For example, I know where my husband is.
6:14 Where he
6:15 was from the beginning.
6:16 And what he does, I know very well.
6:20 Because we keep in touch with him.
6:23 And how would it explain?
6:26 I say again that I know where he is.
6:30 And people who were leaked some information found a similar person, it seems.
6:41 They just showed the "face" and that's it.
6:43 That is, people are not at all interested in him this, not him that.
6:47 I can't even understand what it is about specifically.
6:51 The most interesting thing is that he also cannot understand what exactly is being discussed.
6:54 Well, as if in his service, all the issues are resolved.
6:58 I think if there was something, there would be something, I guess.
7:02 Nelya Alegovna, what about you...
7:03 That's why I didn't bother calling me now, I guess.
7:07 So all the best. I have nothing more to comment on.
7:11 Nelya Alegovna, the only thing...
7:14 The wife seems to know nothing and her husband seems to have been completely confused.
7:18 According to her, he was not the one who killed civilians.
7:20 At the same time, Sokovikov
7:26 was recognized by another Russian who was captured by the Ukrainian military on the video from surveillance cameras that recorded the moment of the killing of civilians.
7:30 We also got access to expertise.
7:32 With the help of artificial intelligence and portrait studies, there is confirmation
7:36 that the man from the surveillance video and the one in Nela's photo are one and the same.
7:40 That is, Sokovikov.
7:42 Here, take a look at these shots and write in the comments if you like these two.
7:47 I also called his sister Tetyana Sokovikova.
7:50 And she completely refutes the words of her wife.
7:53 Like, her brother died in the summer of 2022.
7:56 I don't know what Nelia Alegovna told you, but we still cannot accept this tragedy. Please call the Ministry of Defense, somewhere there...
8:15 I don't know where he was, but he died in the summer.
8:18 We buried him already.. Dates of death are set, as if in July 2022.
8:25 We already have him... When it was... He arrived with a load.
8:29 We do not know how everything happened there. We buried him.
8:33 He has now been sentenced to life imprisonment in Ukraine for the murder of two civilians.
8:40 You know, already sneeze what they wrote there, what they sentenced there, we don't have a brother. And we, unfortunately, will not help us with anything. Before meeting.
8:54 After this conversation, the sister stopped answering calls and messages.
8:59 On the other hand, there is no mention of death on the wife's page. She continues to publish photos with her husband, Sokovikov, alive and well, wearing a Wagner's T-shirt and with her children at hand.
9:08 The last such publication is a photo with Nikolai. Dated in social networks on July 23, 2023.
9:15 Sokovikov is sitting with his children by the lake, watching the swans. And Nelya on her page focuses on the difficult fate of the occupier's wife.
9:22 I am a woman, but I can do a lot. Let my husband rest in peace. I will take care of our house, comfort, until his arrival. He has been through so much, and he deserves it.
9:34 Of course, the same thing to experience. He shot civilians in the back and is now suffering
9:38 from life and absenteeism. Russian murderers react differently to their sentence. Earlier, my colleague Yanina Kornienko spoke with a Buryat criminal.
9:46 Who will judge me? Go f**k yourself, is that clear?
9:51 Occupiers do not often admit that they are killing civilians on foreign land. Most are like Sokovikov. In 2022, in a comment to Sibiriali, he denied everything.
10:01 More than once I wrote "No, it's not me."
10:03 His wife Nelya says that her Nikolai was confused with someone else, and his sister Tatiana...
10:08 is rather ready to bury her brother alive for journalists so that he is not searched and prosecuted.
10:14 We at "Slidstvo.Info" will continue to talk about Russian soldiers who commit war crimes on our territory.
10:21 If you have information about the occupiers and their crimes, please share them with us. We will try to identify them.
10:27 Also leave your comments under this video. What about war crimes would you like to read, see more.
