We have already described cases where a dismissal order from Russia’s Ministry of Defense, in practice, did not allow injured servicemen to avoid being sent back to military duty. It seems this is a standard situation in a country where the law becomes “conditional” the moment it clashes with the interests of those in power. Here is another case: a man diagnosed with hepatitis C and stage 3 liver fibrosis is in court challenging the cancellation of his discharge order — yet, according to his wife, military police ignored the court documents, shoved her aside, and took the sick man back to the front.

“They didn’t care at all. They pushed me aside, went into my husband’s room, gathered his things, and took him away.”

What is known from the wife’s account:

• Ulyana Olegovna Shlyapina reports what happened to her husband, Yevgeny Sergeyevich Shlyapin (born 03 February 1992), a junior sergeant of the 752nd Motor Rifle Regiment (military unit 34670).
• She says he was discharged on health grounds in September 2025 (hepatitis C, stage 3 liver fibrosis) and then registered with the military commissariat and a state clinic to receive treatment.
• In late November, the family began receiving calls claiming the discharge order had been canceled. After receiving a photo of the cancellation document, they filed a lawsuit in the Moscow Garrison Military Court to have it declared unlawful.
• She says a request for protective measures was denied on 22 December, and the next day, 23 December, military police arrived, forced entry, pushed her back when she tried to show court paperwork, and took Yevgeny away by force.
• She states that all contact with him was lost afterward; she does not know his current location or conditions.
