resident Denis Golov, who was convicted of pedophilia following a denunciation by his ex-wife. Ah. Russian Supreme Court, not American. I feel better now.
As Golov revealed on April 16, his ex-wife framed him to gain control of the apartment. He had previously refused to transfer the property, which was registered to his mother, to his wife, Izvestia reported.
A woman filed a police report alleging that her ex-husband sexually assaulted her daughter in November 2022. She attached a video filmed in the bathroom to her report. In it, the child ran into the bathroom where her father was showering.
The trial court found the man guilty of indecent assault and sentenced him to 12 years and six months in prison. When the defense appealed, one of the judges noted that the video showed the man attempting to cover himself when his daughter unexpectedly appeared. Despite this, the panel upheld the sentence.
Golova's defense appealed to the Supreme Court, and the Russian was acquitted.
Earlier, a source for Regnum news agency reported that a woman in the Oryol region paid a pedophile to commit sexual acts against her two daughters, ages three and four. The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against the mother under Part 3, Article 33, Clause "b," Part 5, Article 132 of the Russian Criminal Code ("Organization or direction of violent sexual acts against two or more minors").

At the same time, the company's staff was artificially expanded, which created the appearance of full staffing, while the actual burden fell on real employees.
By July 2025, 90 people were registered in this way. The total amount of unfounded payments is almost 15 million hryvnias. In addition, 13 people were illegally registered as "reservations", which prevented the mobilization measures and activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
