On December 29, 2023, in the Moscow region, Roman Legoyda, the father of Vladimir Legoyda, the head of the Synodal Department of the ROC for Relations with Society and the leader of Patriarch Kirill's press service, was killed, reports TASS.
His body was found in a ravine near the road with multiple stab and slashing wounds. The police quickly identified and apprehended the murderer. According to RTVI, the perpetrator turned out to be 25-year-old Adam Shcherbakov, a former convict and veteran of the conflict in Ukraine. He killed Roman Legoyda over money.
As reported by the publication, Shcherbakov had been convicted several times for robberies and had served time in a prison in Bryansk. There, he was recruited into the "Storm Z" assault squad to participate in combat operations (SMO) in Ukraine, but he deserted after a few months.
