The Spassk-Dalny Garrison Military Court on December 2 found mobilized Alexey Kartashov guilty of unauthorized absence from his place of service during mobilization, noted the publication «7x7»*.
According to 22-year-old Tatyana Kartashova, her husband was mobilized in the fall of 2022, two months after the birth of the couple's two sons. In March 2023, Alexey Kartashov returned home on leave and refused to go back to the war. Before the verdict, he served in a military unit in Primorye. «Naturally, they tried to send him to the SVO all this time. When faced with the choice, either to the SVO or to court with a refusal, my husband chose the latter», said the woman to «Mediazona»*.
The criminal case against Alexey Kartashov was considered by the court in two sessions. Tatyana Kartashova reported that her husband was sentenced to three years in a penal colony and taken into custody in the courtroom. According to his wife, she was not allowed to attend the announcement of the decision and she «sat on a bench» in the corridor.
