Former colleagues of “Artist” said that he had been transferred to this unit after refusing to sign a contract. At present, Kuznetsov has gone missing and is no longer in contact. The story had been verified by Russian military channels and one of the commanders involved in extortion was eventually detained, but the practice is widespread in Russian army.
