A jealous man in Russia, identified as Yaroslav Fokin, has been jailed after he kidnapped his ex-wife, stuffed her in a bag and wheeled her into a forest for a romantic date.

The 35-year-old man, a former special forces officer, was seen wheeling silver medalist runner, Elena Rukhlyada, who is 34 years of age, out of her flat in Novosibirsk, south Russia.

It was learned that the jealous man carefully wheeled the bag to the car-park before driving off to a remote forest, where he released her and gave her a bouquet of flowers during the bizarre “romantic date”.

Investigating the matter, the police later found the athlete unharmed after she was reported missing and arrested Fokin. He was found guilty of kidnapping by the Zaeltsovsky District Court and is currently serving a four-and-a-half-year sentence in a maximum-security prison.

However, the lady, who won a silver medal in the 2011 Mountain Running World Championship, has recounted her terrifying ordeal at the hands of her ex-husband.

Speaking to Russian paper Komsomolskaya Pravda, the medalist said: “I was very scared at that moment because about a month before he had got mad and told me ‘I’ll kill you. Slowly.”

Describing former special forces officer, Rukhlyada as “very jealous,” she said: “He always tried to limit me, in all terms.”

The medalist said Fokin burst into her kitchen in July last year, tying her and a friend up, before she was stuffed into a sports bag.

“I was trying to chew the tape to release myself but understood that there was no way I could escape.

“I thought it was the end.

“I did not interfere as he was evil and could use the knife. He brought me to a place in the forest and presented me with flowers like it was a romantic date.”

Elena said she is worried about what will happen when Fokin leaves prison.

“I will do everything possible to minimise contact with him. I want to appeal to the state to provide me with protection after he is freed.

“I don’t need any money or alimony from him. I want to think that he simply doesn’t exist. It’s scary when you can’t even freely walk outside your house without someone watching you.”
