The bodies found after the occupation of the Russian army in Bucha, Ukraine, continue to speculate in every way, providing innuendos that point to a conspiracy aimed at attributing nonexistent war crimes to Vladimir Putin’s government. We provided an overview of the most popular theses here. Among the most prominent deniers we even find the journalist Toni Capuozzo. For example, many pathologists who theorize—on the basis of images alone—that something is wrong with the bodies seen improvise: if you see blood, it’s wrong; If you can’t see it, it would be odd not to have a trace of it. It’s the paradox of the distracted conspirator (a classic we also see in 9/11 conspiracy theories) who forgets to leave a mark or doesn’t leave one. Veterinarian and factchecker Giulia Corsini answers the deniers and shares her daily experience.
Injured cat denies Toni Capuozzo
The basic thesis, which seems to draw more from theatrical events than real sources, is that humans or animals always leave visible bloodstains in gunshot wounds. This works in movies, but makes little sense in reality. Corsi shows an example from his professional experience: an xray of a cat with gunshot wounds:
Today we are talking about gunshot wounds and corpses in view of the negationist theses of Toni Capuozzo and Co., because these are conditions that I see, I have studied and I am studying for my profession as a veterinarian. Let’s start with firearms: It is not true that an affected person or animal always leaves pools of blood, quite the opposite. This cat was limping at the clinic visit, there were obvious injuries and a fracture, but there was no blood.
To be honest, the blood work wasn’t even anemic. I only found out from the xrays that it was a gunshot wound, particularly the very white radiopaque material that could be seen in both the limbs and stomach (because the cat had licked itself). The cat is alive and well, with one limb less.

Wouldn’t Bucha’s bodies be broken down enough?
Other questions concern the decomposition of corpses. There are also false myths about it. For example, Capuozzo would be convinced that after three weeks Bucha’s corpses would not be in the state of preservation that we see, while it would be more plausible to consider them dead for at least two days, which would favor the thesis of the massacre produced by the Ukrainians themselves simulated . Also in this case we should forget what we learned in the cinema, because the reality is a bit more complex and doesn’t always meet the plot requirements.
We’re talking about corpses and thanatological modifications. Capuozzo claims to know what the bodies look like after three weeks, but some doubts are raised. The first abiotic phenomena are the cooling of the corpse Corsini continues the temperature drops in half a day. At the same time, rigor mortis takes place and is completed within 12 days.
Let’s get to the point, namely the phenomena of putrefaction. These are the main transformation processes in cadavers and occur because of the entry of intestinal bacteria (as well as external ones) into the body. The first thing you see is a green spot on the abdomen, which then spreads to the rest of the body. This process is highly dependent on various environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and ventilation. It is said that “an hour of summer is equal to a day of winter in Ukraine at that time temperatures varied on average between 5 and 0 degrees and more recently between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius, and the climate was generally dry and windy .
