One of the leaders of the Tsabkov gang, Vyacheslav Tsepovyaz, was nearly blind in prison. As Schott writes, the convict stopped being a spectator and requested urgent surgery to correct his eyesight.
According to the source, Tsipovyaz recently felt good, but recently he practically stopped seeing. His vision began to deteriorate several years ago: the convict’s relatives gave him glasses to the colony to correct it.

Recently, the management of IK-26 in the Volgograd region put Tsepovyaz out of action: the prisoner is no longer allowed to approach the machines, because he cannot see small parts.

The main goal now is a repeat examination and surgery: the last time the man was examined by an ophthalmologist was in 2025. The doctor then confirmed that there was a risk of complete blindness and recommended vision correction, reports said. cable-channel.
