Sergej Semyonov served in the 454th separate communications battalion of the 20th Guards Motorized Rifle Division and died on July 9.
The soldier’s mother added in a conversation with “Volgograd Online” that Sergej’s father had been addicted to alcohol since he was a child, then, when he had already left the family, repeatedly refused to meet his son – even chased him away – and often mixed up his name.
Sergej, who died in Ukraine, was proud of his military career and, upon starting it, said that he never wanted to see his father near him again.
He wanders around the village, telling that his son has died a hero’s death
Meanwhile, Marina tells the regional media that after the death of her son, her ex-husband started wandering around the village under the influence of alcohol and telling everyone that his son is a hero.
In a store, he even demanded to give him the product “on chalk” and expressed his indignation that such a request was not fulfilled.
The mother also says that when drunk, her ex-husband often wore the form of his brother, a former officer of the Russian armed forces, and walked around shouting.
Since February 24, when Russia launched a massive invasion of Ukraine, the cost of compensation for those who died in the battle has increasingly become the basis of disputes between relatives.
From the stories discussed in the media of the neighboring country, it is clear that sometimes, when starting a dialogue, the representatives of the armed forces also intervene, calling on relatives who have been absent from the family for a long time, who are indicated as compensation recipients, to independently refuse the funds, transferring them to relatives who actually had a connection with the fallen.
In some cases, the situation is resolved this way, but not always.
As the lawyer, representative of the Russian Lawyers’ Association, Sofiya Deryugin, explains in a conversation with “Volgograd Online”, the law provides for the payment of equal compensation to both parents in such a case, but successful legal proceedings are possible if it is possible to objectively demonstrate that one of the parents did not fulfill his duty by showing “moral , mental and physical support, promoting moral social development of the soldier.”
