Russian authorities reported that a prisoner, Dmitry Pushkarev, who had been previously extradited from Georgia, was killed after he attacked escorts on a train, killing one and wounding three.

Initially, on October 3, Russian media cited Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) as reporting that a prisoner was killed after he inflicted fatal injuries on a guard and wounded three of his colleagues in the special railcar of the Vladikavkaz–Adler train in Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia.

According to the report, the prisoner attacked one of the guards after he was escorted to the toilet, seizing his weapon, killing one and wounding three before being “neutralized” by guards.

Later, TASS, Russia’s state-run media agency, cited “law enforcement agencies” as identifying Pushkarev as “previously extradited from Georgia” on charges of drug-related offenses and creating a criminal organization.

The report follows concerns about Georgia’s renewed extraditions to Russia after a temporary moratorium citing Russia’s exclusion from the Council of Europe in 2022.

Recently, another Russian citizen,  Mikhail Timofeyev, a former aide and political associate of imprisoned former Governor of Khabarovsk Sergei Furgal, was released from extradition detention in Georgia on bail. According to the lawyers, the release followed the United Nations Human Rights Committee’s interim measure issued earlier in September urging Georgia not to extradite or deport him pending its consideration of his case.
