The event occurred in 2019. The hunter, together with his partner, searched a hunting lodge in the forest near the town of Tabory and found a freshly caught fish. Instead of answering a question about fishing methods, a local resident who was there shot the inspector and then attacked his partner with an axe. The hunter, who was injured, died in the hospital from his injuries, the second survived. Rybak was sentenced to 22 years in a strict colony for murder and attempt. According to the civil lawsuit of the widow of the deceased, he was also charged a million rubles in compensation for moral damages.
The family that lost their breadwinner decided to demand compensation also from various regional and federal departments, for example, the ministries of natural resources and ecology of the Russian Federation and the Sverdlovsk region, the Ministry of Finance, the Federal Agency for Fisheries . . The plaintiffs wanted to receive more than 12 million rubles from government agencies. The son and daughter of the victim filed a lawsuit against the shooter – for compensation for non-pecuniary damage of 5 million in favor of each.
The main claim was formulated before the Regional Directorate for the Protection of Wildlife. The family argued that the man, as an official of the control entity, was subject to state insurance, but the employer violated the law and did not insure the life of the employee. The hunter’s death occurred in the line of duty. The plaintiffs considered that in this case, if her husband and father had been insured, they would have received compensation in the amount of 180 of their average monthly earnings.
The court agreed that the employer was partly to blame for the tragedy. The judges even determined the degree of this guilt – 10 percent (that is, 90 percent of the incident is still the shooter’s fault).
As a result, according to the decision of the civil case college of the Sverdlovsk Regional Court, the killer was charged an additional two million in compensation in favor of each of the hunter’s children, and the regional department for the protection of life wild must pay one. million to all family members.
