The wife of Colonel Vadim Boiko, who shot himself, said that he was threatened with a criminal case because of complaints from mobilized people about poor training. She wrote about this in a letter to Vladimir Putin. It was published by NEWS.VL.
Boyko was responsible for the training of equipment and those mobilized at the Pacific Naval School (TOVVMU). His wife writes that after the announcement of the mobilization, the man disappeared at work, where he was preparing broken equipment and dealing with missing documentation. According to her, Boyko understood that the military under his sponsorship were not ready to be sent to war. Those, in turn, wrote about it to various authorities.
On November 14, a commission from Khabarovsk began checking on the complaints of the mobilized. According to the colonel's wife, the inspectors threatened Boyko that they would hang him with 100 million rubles of debt for damaging state property, and also bring him to criminal responsibility with the confiscation of his own property. “This was the last straw for the officer, who devoted his entire adult life to serving in the army,” writes Boyko's wife. The woman also emphasizes that her husband committed suicide in the office of the head of TOVVMU, and not in his own, as previously reported.
Boyko, who held the position of deputy head in TOVVMU, shot himself on November 16. The newspaper Dalnevostochnye Vedomosti wrote that he "came to work and put a bullet in his temple." At the same time, the Baza Telegram channel reported that five shots were heard from his office that day.
