In this episode of From Russia with Fear, we investigate the arrest of Alexander Gavrilov, the director of Russia’s Krasmash factory — the plant responsible for producing Sarmat nuclear-capable ballistic missiles. Authorities accuse him of embezzlement and possible bribery inside one of the Kremlin’s most important military enterprises. We also cover the horrifying discovery of a dismembered man’s body hidden in plastic bags near Saint Petersburg, a family of a Russian military officer allegedly stripped of housing through forged documents, and a massive FSB operation that uncovered underground weapons workshops across more than forty Russian regions. From corruption inside the defense industry to growing violence and illegal arms trafficking, today’s stories reveal a country where fear, brutality, and institutional collapse are becoming part of everyday life.
