I gave my wife to Putin’s henchmen after she defeated the invasion of Ukraine – I hope she ends up drunk, proud of her husband
A PUTIN-obsessed Russian turned his wife over to the police after she allegedly criticized the war in Ukraine.
The blind patriotic husband accused his spouse of turning their 6-year-old son against the Kremlin.
Builder Sergei Obraztsov, 37, asked Putin’s police to “take action” against his hairstylist wife because she “expressed anti-Russian sentiments related to the special military operation”.
Ukrainian-born hairstylist Yulia Boyko could face prison if found guilty under Russia’s tough new law targeting critics of the war.
Sergei also accused his wife of wanting to bring their young son Maksim back to his native Ukraine.
The couple – now separated – live in a small town about 15 miles west of Moscow, and they split the parenting duties.
Sergei claims his son “parrots anti-Russian slogans and argues with other kids” at his school.
“He echoes his mother and as a responsible parent, I cannot allow this,” he said. “
In court documents, Sergei claimed his ex-wife was “agitated” and “crying” on the day Russia invaded Ukraine.
He also said that he invited Yulia’s relatives to come and live in Russia, but was not surprised when they declined.
“She constantly posts provocative posts on social media and removes from her online friends anyone who disagrees with her – even if they are her customers,” complained Sergei. .
He added that Yulia had gotten into trouble with the Russian police for speaking out against the war.
Speaking to The Sun Online, heartbroken Yulia said she will fight her “tyrant” husband’s allegations in court.
“I don’t need this,” she said. “Let everything be arranged by a judge according to the law.”
He simply used… the war in Ukraine… to take Yulia’s child away from her
Inna
Yulia’s older sister, Inna, 37, a doctor in her hometown of Ukraine, accused her ex-brother-in-law of kidnapping little Maksim and throwing Yulia out of the apartment before calling the police.
“He was simply using the situation with the war in Ukraine for his own purposes – to take Yulia’s children away from her,” she told The Sun Online.
She added that Yulia had tried to leave her husband of seven years several times and that relationship was going bad until she asked for a divorce on the eve of the war.
But despite throwing her out, Inna said Sergei let Yulia into the apartment almost every day to take care of their son, who was sick.
“He’s clearly trying to turn Maksim against Yulia,” she said. “The child is confused and scared. Sergei is a very insecure man.”
She continued: “When he and Yulia were together, he was always jealous of her, wanting to control her every move.
“Yulia loves her family in Ukraine very much and tries to visit her parents as often as possible. Sergei doesn’t like this.”
She also accused Sergei of not supporting the war until he realized he could use it in a cynical attempt to prevent his wife from seeing their children.
Trying to defend himself, Sergei insisted that he go to the police because he “felt threatened”, and that his wife had tried to bring their children to Ukraine.
“Since the start of my military service, I have stopped communicating with her,” he said.
And despite allowing Yulia to see their son, he added: “I don’t want my child to be taken out of my country.
“He’s a Russian citizen, he was born in Moscow. It’s his country, he has his citizenship. I hope he’s safe.”
Putin’s regime enacted strict new laws on public demonstrations and free speech after the invasion of Ukraine.
It followed some rare demonstrations of dissent in the early days of the war.
Under the law, which took effect in March, “discrediting the Russian armed forces” or spreading “false information” about the war carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison.
On July 8, a Moscow court handed down the first prison sentence for such crimes.
Aleksei Gorinov, a local official from Moscow who spoke out against the war during a meeting on March 15, was sentenced to seven years in prison in one of Putin’s dreaded penal colonies.
Brave, Gorinov remained defiant throughout his trial, holding up a sign in the courtroom that read, “Do you still need this fight?”
The exact number is not known, but it is feared that the scorer could face such sentences for free speech charges.
