The commander of the second battalion of the 1430th motorized rifle regiment of the Russian army was accused of murdering a mobilized man from Moscow, who left behind five children. The commander shot the private after a conflict over alcohol, Astra reported . The publication reported that with its publication it fulfilled the last wishes of one of the murdered’s colleagues.
The murdered man's name was Alexey Serov; he died in May 2023 in the Zaporozhye region in the occupied part of Ukraine. The battalion commander's name was Sergei Serditov, the publication reported, citing a colleague of the deceased, Stanislav Raevsky. According to Raevsky, he himself and several other people witnessed the murder, but the command suggested that they either go to trial or remain silent - and “we chose the second option.”
Astra reported that Raevsky sent several videos to the publication’s employees, which he asked to publish after his death. In the video, the military man says that Serov bought two bottles of moonshine in a neighboring village and shared them with five colleagues. But the battalion commander realized that his subordinates were drunk “when they brought him a gas cylinder.”

According to Raevsky, a squabble ensued, the commander shot one of the drunken soldiers in the leg, and then Serov in the head. Perhaps the shot was accidental, suggested the author of the videos sent to the editor. However, later they decided to hide the murder, said a colleague of the deceased. According to Raevsky’s story, the dead man’s body was placed on an anti-personnel mine so that it would go off and the soldier’s death could be passed off as a consequence of numerous shrapnel wounds.

Astra journalists write that at least two more commanders of the 1430th regiment knew about Serov’s murder. Relatives of the deceased told reporters that they had heard about the details of the murder from other soldiers. Raevsky died a few weeks after recording the video, writes Astra. His brother showed journalists screenshots of his correspondence with the telegram account of the 1430 regiment, from which it follows that the account holder “of course knows” that “Angry shot the capital.”
The call sign “Capital” was borne by the deceased Serov, he was 41 years old, writes Astra. At home in Moscow, he left behind his wife Ekaterina, four children from her previous marriage and one child together, a daughter. The publication explained that Serov was not recognized as having many children during mobilization, since he did not formalize guardianship over three stepsons and one stepdaughter.
