Torture and murder of a Ukrainian prisoner: Molfar identifies war criminals

"Hatter"

Presumably, all members of the Akhmativ volunteer battalion undergo training (1, 2) before being sent to war in Ukraine, at the training center of the Russian Special Forces University "RUS" in Gudermes, including the hatter and other members of the group. One of the participants (White) has a cap with the "RUS" emblem. 

The hatter in the castration video has white and yellow sneakers (1, 2), presumably stolen, because this model was intended only for members of the Ukrainian Olympic team in 2008. For the rest of the video, he has black new balance. In addition, it is known that these sneakers were sold on the Shafa marketplace, and that in video , the unit loots the abandoned positions of the Armed Forces several times.

Refutation of the deanon of the performer:

Points why Aroshanov Vitaliy is not suitable:

• according to publications (1, 2, 3, 4), the hatter is called Aroshanov Vitaliy (21.02.1983, vitalik.aroshanov@yandex.ru, +79169261270, +79779710839, +79688136227, VK (del), Love.Mail.ru (screen), Inst, passport: 8514499211, TIN: 081408919308, SNILS: 12247005916, residence: Russia, Republic of Kalmykia, town of Elista, district 4, d. 48, quarter 16). However, according to the website of the “Myrotvorets”, a person with such a name does not have a similar face: the chin, cheeks, distance between the eyebrows, eyelids, and age are different.

• according to publications (1, 2, 3), a photo of Aroshanov Arslan Valeriyovych, who is Aroshanov's brother Vitaly, was used as proof of similarity. However, the photos of the Hatter and Arslan from the “Myrotvorets” are also different: there is no scar on the cheek, the distance from the eye to the eyebrows, chin, and bags under the eyes are different.

• according to publications (1, 2), Arslan Aroshanov has a tattoo on his left hand in the photo, but there is no tattoo in the video.

Additional confirmation:

On the 4chan imageboard indicate the “version” that this video is staged by Ukraine.
One of the main arguments is the use by the “hatter” of a uniform similar to Ukrainian camouflage, as well as the difference in hats in the torture videos and other videos with the hatter. 

Refutation:

‍

Uniform with similar to Ukrainian camouflage:

• In a fragment from the video about the unit – the uniform is identical to the one he was wearing in the torture video.
• The hat on the torture video and other videos hatterIn particular, the line is missing.
• However, on other fragments are seen in a hat with an identical texture and a missing top line. 
• A bracelet from the video and bracelet in the story from the Azot chemical plant – it is the same bracelet. 

Other facts confirming that the video was not staged by Ukraine:

The Akhmat unit was officially formed from “volunteers” from all regions of the Russian Federation, trained at the Special Forces University in Gudermes, Chechnya. The official phone number indicated for communication is “89256617777”, according to the publication has the signatures "Gudermes", "PMC", "To Ukraine", "To War", "Mercenary", "Zv", "Terrible PMC", "Set z", "Bekhan", "Ichkeria", "Czechs", "Grozny Russian University of Special Forces", "Akhmat force set against dill!", "Contract to Ukraine through Grozny", "Volunteers to the Akhmat front". These signatures indicate that the Akhmat unit consists of mercenaries from the Russian Federation and, presumably, other CIS countries. It is also known that videos of such torture and reprisals were previously published Russian mercenaries from the Wagner PMC.

Molfar’s version

Aidos Alban / Aidos Adik (16.12.1997)

Points FOR:

• similar gaze, left eye, distance from eyeball to eyebrow, oval face, chin, earlobes and slight protrusion;
• on the avatar, the hatter was a watch also spotted watch;
• as of July 2022, the avatar has been deleted;
• in VK signed (1, 2, 3, 4) to the group "Weapons | Army”, “street fights | MMA | WORKOUT”, “Weapons | Minigan", "Weapons of Mankind".

Point AGAINST: 

• Aidos' nostrils are directed straight, the hatter's - downward (may be related to the shooting angle);
• in VK indicates training in the Kazakhstani KazAST. A Kazakh number +77470385798 with the name Aydos Alban was also found, which is also signed as “Kurmanov Aydos Tolenediuli”, but the person in the photo does not look like Aidos from the historical VK photos.

Contacts: VK, VK2.

The family 

• of Dan Bekbergenov (17.05.1998, VK, VK2) - was on Aydos' avatar. He points to his native village. Narynkol (Kazakhstan), and VK2 - Almaty. On the avatar in VK from 2017 there is a photo guy, probably Aidos. In VK2, in the Family column, the status is "in active search", which may indicate that Dana is no longer dating Aidos.

According to history :

• id446967151 - Didar Khan (24.01.2005, VK);
• id5082610 - found Serhii Khomutov (VK) from St. Petersburg, Russia.

According to the publication, one of the commanders of the Chechen special unit "Akhmat" with the call sign "Raf". In video about the unit, it is indicated as a deputy commander (00:39). According post in TG, the units of "Rafa" are directly subordinated to the assistant of the Chairman of the Chechen Republic for the power bloc Apta Alaudinov, who in March 2021 was dismissed from the post of deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Chechnya.

Searching by photo found (1, 2) Mykola Chilingaryan / Totov (VK, artek-80@mail.ru). Similar photos were found (1, 2, 3, 4) in the remote photos of Galina Teplova (VK).
In addition, "Raf" is seen in the video, where he is next to a mountain of corpses, presumably a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and calls on soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to surrender. This fact may indicate that the torture video was approved by him, and was not the initiative of individual members of the unit.
