A convicted Russian serial killer – and cannibal – has been pardoned in exchange for fighting in Ukraine, just days after it was revealed that President Vladimir Putin had freed a notorious Satanist killer.
Denis Gorin, 44, from the city of Aniva in the Sakhalin region, was sentenced in 2018 to 22 years in a prison colony for stabbing a man to death and brutally eating his flesh.
In all, Gorin killed at least four people and partially ate two of them — but his body count could reach 13, according to his neighbors.
In late October, Gorin posted a photo on social media showing him smiling while wearing a military uniform, with bandages on his forehead and throat, Russian Telegram channel Sakhalin Against War reported.
“He is in South-Sakhalinsk, in hospital, with moderate injuries,” his neighbor told the independent Russian news channel Sibir.Realii.
“But I don’t think he will be free for long. His victims’ relatives all remember him.”

Gorin committed his first known murder in 2002 with his brother, Yevgeny, stabbing a man more than 50 times and then cutting chunks of flesh from the victim’s body and eating it.
He was convicted of murder and desecration and sentenced to 10 years in prison but was released on parole in early 2010 for good behavior.
Just a few months later, Gorin stabbed to death the brother of his former colleague, before deciding to “remember the good old days” by slicing and eating pieces of the victim’s flesh, according to media reports citing court records.
In 2011, the Gorin brothers killed another man and hid his body along the river bank.

In January 2012, Denis and Yevgeny Gorin struck again, this time stabbing a man to death 29 times outside a store, according to court records.
That summer, police discovered another brutal murder committed by Gorin in November 2010, in which he stabbed a man 8 to 10 times, cut flesh from his bicep and thigh with a knife, placed it in a plastic back and then stored it. in the refrigerator to cook and eat.
Gorin’s neighbor, Dmitri, said that when the police came to arrest him and opened his refrigerator, they found it “full of human flesh.”
Gorin and his brother then allegedly led police to a makeshift grave where they had buried some of their victims, which neighbors claimed contained 12 skeletons – including one allegedly belonging to a young girl.

“Other murders cannot be proven in court,” said the neighbor. “They only considered the murders that Gorin and his brother confessed to themselves.”
Dmitri darkly predicts that Gorin will soon meet a violent end.
“The victim has many relatives in Aniva and in South-Sakhalinsk. Something tells me that Gorin will not walk free for long,” said the neighbor. “If the authorities cannot guarantee punishment, the family members will take matters into their own hands. What else needs to be done?”

Dmitri, who also fought in Ukraine, stopped short of criticizing Putin, but denounced the decision to release violent criminals like Gorin as a sign of “violation of the law.”
Gorin is among thousands of Russian prisoners – including some of the most violent offenders – who have been pardoned in exchange for fighting on the front lines in Ukraine.
Earlier this week, it was revealed Putin had pardoned 33-year-old Nikolai Ogolobyak, a self-confessed Satanist who took part in the ritual murder of four teenagers – beheading and partially eating two of them.
Ogolobyak was sentenced to 20 years for the 2008 murder that shocked the Yaroslavl region. He was scheduled to be released in 2030, but was allowed into Russia’s “Z Storm” prisoner unit – and later pardoned by Putin after serving six months in Ukraine, his father told the 76.ru news channel.
