In this episode of From Russia with Fear, we look at three disturbing cases from across Russia. A man from Balashikha is sentenced to life in prison after poisoning at least nine relatives and friends, allegedly targeting his own parents for their apartment. In the Rostov region, a woman says her former partner — an ex-assistant prosecutor — stalked and repeatedly assaulted her for more than a year despite numerous complaints to police. And a new series of corruption investigations is shaking Russian universities, with hundreds of millions of rubles allegedly stolen from government contracts and grants.
