The other day, the Yekaterinburg court, as expected, found Yevgeny Roizman * guilty of discrediting the army. The verdict was unexpected: a fine, as the prosecutor demanded. Roizman himself called it an "excuse" — after all, according to the article on discrediting, it is now easy to give both 5 and 7 years.
This, of course, caused a surge of interest in one of the most unusual Russian politicians. It is in this capacity that Roizman is mostly known now. But even before politics, he had a very unusual and not very boring life.
