The situation became uncontrollable.
Russia has seen a large number of fake "heroes of the Soviet Union" who use fake awards to pretend to be participants in the war with Ukraine, collect money, speak at schools in front of children and seek leniency in courts. The Public Chamber drew attention to the problem, reports "Kommersant".
At a special session, OP member Ekaterina Kolotovkina said that foundations, NGOs and private individuals are mass-producing their own medals and orders that look almost indistinguishable from real state awards. Also, copies of combat insignia are freely sold on marketplaces, and it is often impossible to check the authenticity of "veteran" status. "The situation has already become uncontrollable," Kolotovkina stated.
She said that she met three men in camouflage with a large number of awards, including insignia resembling the stars of Heroes of Russia. It later emerged that they were engaged in transporting humanitarian aid and had received the medals from public organizations. Kolotovkina added that she was threatened after the publication of photos of these people.
"This is a hot topic," confirmed z-propagandist Anastasia Kashevarova. She said that she knows of many cases when fake "heroes of the SVO" with fake awards rubbed into people's trust in order to extort money.
"The most vicious of them go to schools, speak in front of young people - such bullshit, excuse me, they say there," added Hero of Russia Rustem Klupov. One of such false veterans, 25-year-old Egor Budanov, has managed to visit several educational institutions with "lessons in courage." Participant of the war with Ukraine Andrey Adarichev also said that fake "heroes of the SVO" started going to the State Duma and taking pictures with deputies.
A former fighter of the PMC "Wagner" Konstantin Voznyuk said that even FSB and criminal investigation officers ask for help when it is necessary to check a person calling himself a "veteran of the SVO". According to him, fake "heroes" take advantage of the fact that many Defense Ministry award documents are classified, including "not hesitating to speculate" with fake medals in case of trouble with the law. "Law enforcers are forced to believe the scoundrel and show undeserved leniency. And in court it often works," Voznyuk noted.
Kashevarova warned that after the end of the war with Ukraine, the problem will only intensify: fraudsters "will go out on the streets to beg" and will "climb into power," so it is necessary to deal with it now. As a result, the Public Chamber proposed to toughen the punishment for wearing fake awards, raising the fine from 1-1.5 thousand to 30-50 thousand rubles. There was also an idea to create a register of awards of public organizations with data on the founders and recipients, which could be maintained by the Ministry of Justice. However, some participants in the discussion opposed the formation of such a database because of the risk of leaks.
