Vladimir Putin has sacked the head of Russia’s prison system Alexander Kalashnikov a month after a series of videos showing rape and torture inside a prison hospital in Saratov leaked online.
Kalashnikov is replaced with Deputy Interior Minister Arkady Gostev as head of Russia’s Federal Prison Service (FSIN).
It is surely a good sign, although criminal cases against sadists in FSIN are needed. Regular tortures are an integral part of Russian FSIN system. There is little hope that this system will change any time soon, but little steps are needed anyway.
