Sergei.

This is coolbert:

“Durkin S.N. took a stool with both hands by the two legs, swung it over his head with great physical force downwards and sharply hit the victim’s upper forehead and parietal area of the head with the seat…"

One more musician of the Wagner group paramilitary mercenary Russian unit, having perished in battle, his decorations and memorial will not be rescinded.

"He killed his drinking buddy with a stool and slept with a teenager. A school in the North Russian region of Komi will keep medals of the criminal turned 'hero of the Special Military Operation [SMO]'”

From https://thebarentsobserver.com | Olesia Krivtsova Georgii Chentemirov | November 20, 2023.

"Sergei Durkin, a native of the village of Ust-Tsilma in Komi, spent many years behind bars. From prison, he was recruited to fight in Ukraine where he was killed on November 9, 2022. A year later, the house he had lived in was decorated with a memorial plaque, while his awards, including those from the Wagner paramilitary group, were taken to a local school. The Barents Observer spoke with the soldier's sister and with the principal of the school where they intend to keep Durkin's awards, regardless of his past."

Sergei I am afraid a very dubious character nonetheless his contributions to the Russian war effort, and his death in battle cannot be ignored. I think probably the right decision was made, but everybody must understand that he was not the most stellar character.

Just leave it there. That is best.
