A RAPIST who buried his teen victim alive is applying to fight in Vladimir Putin’s war in a shameless bid to be released from jail.
Emergency services cadet Evgeny Anisiforov knocked the 16-year-old girl unconscious before he raped her and buried her in a makeshift grave – where she died of asphyxiation.

Anisiforov claims he wants to fight in Ukraine to “atone” for the murder of schoolgirl Maria Yatsenko in the closed Siberian nuclear city Zheleznogorsk.
He claims he can do this under new laws that allow Putin to release and pardon hardened criminals who fight in his war against Ukraine.
The victim’s distraught mother, Svetlana Yatsenko, has been pleading with authorities to stop Anisiforov from being excused from his 21-year sentence.
Anisiforov was detained and sent to a maximum security prison after 10,000 men underwent DNA tests during a sweeping search for the rapist and murderer.
A court in Krasnoyarsk heard how Anisiforov had knocked Maria out with a stone before he proceeded to rape her.
When she was still alive, he covered her with sand and gravel in a grave that he had made.
He was then found to have kept several of her items of clothing in his flat for ten months before he was caught.
The court also heard how Anisiforov had raped another teenager, 19, and stolen mobile phones.
Local media reported that when journalists asked the former Russian conscript if he repented for his crimes, “he just grinned”.
The rapist is also reported to have gloated his way through the court hearings, which finished this week.
Anisiforov is said to have shown no remorse and to have spent the duration of the case taunting the victim’s mother.
Svetlana is reported to have asked him to stop looking at her and smiling during the court hearings, as he continued to crow from his court cage.
The rapist was asked: “Why was the girl killed? Are you going to answer that?
“Do you have any remorse at all? Do you have any remorse?”
Before prosecutors said: “You are just sitting here, smirking.”
And another time: “Why are you gloating?”
Anisiforov declined to answer any of these questions and separately said that he would “atone for my guilt” by fighting for Russia in Ukraine.
Svetlana said that Anisiforov had spent the court proceedings “laughing” and said that she was worried he would be released to fight for Putin.
She was asked: “You are worried that he will go to the Special Military Operation [Putin’s war against Ukraine], and then go free?”
To which Svetlana responded: “Yes.”
She was then asked how the rapist had behaved during the trial, to which she said he had been laughing.

It comes just weeks after Russia’s most notorious mafia king was quietly released from prison four years early.
Crime boss Shakro Molodoy, 71, was freed from the maximum security colony after “helping Putin recruit convicts for Ukraine meatgrinder war”.
The leader of the Russian criminal underworld served six years of his 9 years and 10 months prison sentence in the Krasnodar region.
The court cited deteriorating health issues as the reason for parole with reports saying the crime boss has lost much of his sight in jail.
But the criminal might have been pardoned as a “thank you from Putin”.
It appears that the dictator is grateful that Zakharov chose not to order prisoners to boycott the meatgrinder war.
Tens of thousands of jail inmates have fought – and many have died – since the Kremlin has waged the war in Ukraine.
