A resident of Novosibirsk stalked and assaulted his former partner for a year and a half, repeatedly striking her, menacing her with violence, and even dousing her with bright green paint in a series of disturbing episodes reported by kp.ru. The pattern stretched over a long period, and the distressing behavior escalated as time went on, leaving the victim fearful and seeking help.
The couple had met online several years prior and chose to cohabit after a short courtship. According to the accounts, the man, who was 45 years old, began to physically threaten and strike the woman after they started living together. On more than one occasion, she managed to break free from what was described as a brutal grip, only to be pulled back by the man who continued the assault. The violence did not stop at mere shoving or shouting; it intensified into repeated beatings that caused visible injuries and lasting emotional trauma.
Following a particularly alarming incident, the victim reached out to law enforcement. A forensic examination was conducted, revealing bruises and abrasions across the woman’s body, as well as a broken arm. The injuries were serious enough to warrant medical attention but were not considered life-threatening. The police documented the assault and began a process to hold the aggressor accountable for his actions.
In response to the event, an administrative charge for assault was filed. The ex-fiancee received a monetary fine of 5 thousand rubles and later returned to live with her partner, an arrangement that appeared to complicate the ongoing situation and raise questions about deterrence and protection for victims of domestic violence. The narrative notes that the man continued to harass the woman after this, including visiting family members, knocking on doors, and escalating his threats. One particularly disturbing episode involved the man breaking his nephew’s nose aboard a bus, followed by an act of vandalism in which he packed the apartment door with old polyurethane foam. The violence soon escalated beyond previous limits, culminating in further attacks that left the woman with additional injuries, including a broken rib.
The victim described a pattern of relentless pursuit that extended past the workplace and into everyday life. Reports state that the ex-partner monitored her movements after work and dumped a green liquid on her, an act that symbolized continued control and intimidation. Dozens of statements have been filed with police, yet those tasked with enforcing the law appeared unable to detain the stalker promptly, according to the survivor’s account. The family expressed frustration with what they viewed as inaction by law enforcement, and they raised suspicions about possible involvement of the ex-partner in arson attached to the victim’s vehicle.
Earlier coverage recounts another grave case in a separate region where a live-in partner in the Urals reportedly tortured a woman, setting her on fire, and restraining her by nailing her feet to a piece of wood. This reference serves to underscore a broader pattern of domestic violence and the urgent, ongoing need for stronger protective measures and timely intervention by authorities across different locales. The situation described in Novosibirsk aligns with public concerns about how domestic violence cases are handled, the speed of intervention, and the safeguards available to people who fear for their safety. The community continues to seek accountability and clearer pathways to ensure victims receive the protection and justice they deserve while perpetrators face appropriate consequences for their actions.
