The 29-year-old ex-officer Dmitry Vasilets who served in Pechenga on the Russian-Norwegian border, spent 15 months in a penal colony as he didn’t want to continue fighting in Ukraine. For reasons of conscience, and after the death of two close friends at the front, he chose prison as the only option to terminate his contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. The Barents Observer tells Dmitry's story.
