An Almost Hollywood-Style Story of a Kenyan Mercenary Escaping the Clutches of Russia’s Death Machine, Which Could Have Ended Much Faster and More Simply for Him...

An almost Hollywood-style story of a Kenyan mercenary escaping the clutches of Russia’s death machine, which could have ended much faster and more simply for him.

Samuel Maina Kariuki was an ideal recruitment target. He had served in the Kenyan army and had the appropriate training. He ended up in Russia after losing his job, and a recruiter offered him work as a security guard in a shopping mall in the Russian Federation. Samuel did not think long before signing all the necessary documents.

After signing the documents, the man was deprived of access to his bank accounts and then taken to a barracks. There, a Russian officer told him and other Africans that they had signed contracts with the Russian Armed Forces and there was no way back. Samuel very quickly found himself at the front, where Ukrainian drones were waiting for him, and where “it was impossible to walk even five meters without stepping on somebody’s body.”

The African’s battalion was sent to storm Ukrainian positions near Kostiantynivka. Out of 150 men, only six survived: two Kenyans and four Russians. When Samuel, covered in wounds, returned to his commander, the man was genuinely surprised that he had survived. After several days in the hospital, the not-yet-recovered Kenyan was sent back to the front, where he was wounded again and ended up in the hospital once more. From there, he decided to flee.

Samuel contacted the Kenyan embassy, bought a plane ticket, and tried to leave the Russian Federation. But at the airport, law enforcement officers checked his phone, realized he was military, and handed him over to the military police.

“They put me in a cage for three days, like a dog. They gave me only chocolate and water. I wasn’t allowed out at all, so I pissed in a bottle,” Kariuki says.

When the man was sent back to the front for the third time, he ran away again. His family had to go into debt to send him money for the trip to Moscow and for a ticket to Nairobi. The second time, Samuel managed to board the plane and leave the Russian Federation.

In the end, our hero was left without money and with health problems, and his family is still paying off the debts for his journey home. And yet he could have ended his adventures in Russia much faster and more simply by just contacting the “I Want to Live” project.
