The unenviable fate of members of the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group (16 photos). The most mysterious blogger in Russia
Next, we suggest recalling the fate of the members of the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group, which in the 90s was one of the most influential and most brutal groups in Moscow. The gang is involved in high-profile murders, but due to internal squabbles, it has significantly weakened by the early 2000s. Most of its prominent members were either killed or sentenced to long prison terms.
OCG members Viktor Komakhin (second from left; shot dead in 1995) and Igor Chernakov (third from left; was killed in 1994 the day after the assassination of OPG leader Sylvester).
In the 90s, playing thimbles brought serious profits. The Orekhovskaya brigades protected thimble-makers near the shops "Polish Fashion", "Leipzig", "Electronics", "Belgrade" near the metro stations "Domodedovskaya" and "Yugo-Zapadnaya".
Also, the Orekhovskaya organized crime group extorted money from drivers who were engaged in private transportation near the Kashirskaya metro station. In 1989, gas stations in the Sovietsky and Krasnogvardeisky districts of Moscow came under the control of the group.

The leader of the group was Sergey Timofeev, who received the nickname Sylvester for resemblance with actor Sylvester Stallone. He was killed on September 13, 1994 - his Mercedes 600 was blown up on 3rd Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street. The murder of Sylvester was a blow to the organized criminal group, and the division of his inheritance cost the lives of most of the Orekhovskaya leaders. The killers have not yet been found, and even Boris Berezovsky was named among the possible organizers: it was Sylvester who was associated with the attempt on the businessman in the summer of 1994.
According to one version, the murder of Sylvester could be revenge for the execution of the leader of the Bauman organized crime group Valery Dlugach, nicknamed Globus (pictured right). Dlugach was killed in 1993 by Alexander Solonik, the killer of the Kurgan organized criminal group, which at that moment was collaborating with the Orekhovskaya.
While Sylvester was alive, his power united several brigades whose leaders were friends: pentathlete Igor Abramov (Dispatcher; killed in 1993), boxing champion of the USSR in 1981 Oleg Kalistratov (Kalistrat; killed in 1993), hockey player Igor Chernakov (Dvoechnik; photo right; killed in 1995), boxer Dmitry Sharapov (Dimon; killed in 1993), bodybuilder Leonid Kleshchenko (Uzbek Sr.; photo left; killed in 1993).
In 1993-1994, the Medvedkov group joined the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group.
In the photo: one of the leaders of the "Orekhovskaya" Sergei Butorin (left) with Medvedkov's colleague Andrey Pylev (Karlik; now serving a prison term).
One of the most high-profile cases of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group was the murder of businessman Otari Kvantrishvili associated with criminal circles. He was killed on April 5, 1994, when leaving the Krasnopresnensky baths, by one of the "Orekhov" - Alexei Sherstobitov (Lesha Soldat; in 2008 he was sentenced to 23 years in prison).
The heirs of Sylvester fought for power for more than one year. On March 4, 1996, not far from the US embassy on Novinsky Boulevard, Sylvester's closest assistant and his heir to the organized criminal group, Sergei Ananievskiy (Kultik; pictured in the middle), was killed. He got his nickname because he was engaged in bodybuilding and was the champion of the USSR in 1991 in powerlifting. As it turned out later, the killer was Pavel Zelenin, a member of the Kurgan organized criminal group.
After the death of Sergei Ananyevsky, Sergei Volodin (Dragon; in the photo on the left) became the head of the organized criminal group. In the photo: the funeral of Sergei Ananyevsky at the Khovansky cemetery.
Shortly after the murder of Sergei Ananyevsky, Sergei Volodin (right) was also shot. new leader of the organized crime group becomes Sergei Butorin (Osya).
Having become the leader of the organized crime group, Sergei Butorin entered into an alliance with the “Medvedkovskaya” brothers Andrei and Oleg Pylev (Malaya and Sanych) and collaborated with the Kurgan organized criminal group, which did not prevent him from becoming the customer of the main killer of the “Kurgan” Alexander Solonik. In 1996, Butorin staged his own funeral and temporarily went into the shadows, and in the early 2000s he fled to Spain, but was arrested in 2001 and sentenced to life imprisonment, which he is currently serving.
Alexander Solonik (Valeryanych) is a killer of the Kurgan organized crime group, involved in the murder of the adopted son of the thief in law Yaponchik and the leader of the Bauman organized crime group Vladislav Vanner, nicknamed Bobon. Made three escapes from custody. He was killed in Greece in 1997 by Alexander Pustovalov (Sasha Soldat; sentenced to 22 years in prison in 2005) by a member of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group, on the orders of Sergei Butorin.
Sergey Butorin (pictured) and his accomplices are behind many high-profile murders: the leaders of the Kuntsevo group Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Kuligin, the falconer group Vladimir Kutepov (Kutep) and others.
Marat Polyansky - a killer, a member of the Orekhovskaya and Medvedkovskaya organized crime groups. He was involved in the murder of the killer of the Kurgan organized crime group Alexander Solonik, as well as Otari Kvantrishvili. He was arrested in February 2001 in Spain. In January 2013, he was sentenced to 23 years in prison.
Oleg Pylev (pictured) was detained in 2002 in Odessa, Andrey Pylev - in 2003 in Spain. Oleg Pylev was sentenced to 24 years in prison, Andrei - to 21 years.
The Khovanskoye cemetery is located near Moscow and adjoins the remote metropolitan area Solntsev, which until recently was considered a suburb of Moscow. The Khovanskoye cemetery is the largest cemetery in Europe, but it is not difficult to find the alley where the leaders of the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group are buried. It is located on a new section of the cemetery. The fact that " godfathers” of the criminal south of Moscow are buried here, in my opinion, it transparently hints at a close connection with the famous Solntsevo “brothers”, at their common criminal roots. Indeed, sometimes the relationships of individuals are so intertwined that it is difficult to understand which of them is "Orekhov" and which is "Solntsevo". It is curious that in almost all the graves, the front sides of the tombstones and busts are turned with their backs to the pedestrian alley, thereby emphasizing the shady, criminal way of life of the deceased. It remains to be added that all other "Orekhovites" are buried at the Vvedensky, Danilovsky, Kotlyakovsky and Shcherbinsky cemeteries.
Anticipating your appropriate sarcastic grins about pompous monuments on the churchyard, Orthodox symbols, I want to remind you that for many decades on Red Square in his Mausoleum lies a man who managed to ruin and destroy, for example, hard-working peasants in the name of utopian ideals and personal ambitions. As a gift from grateful descendants, the author of the cry "Take away and divide!" received a permanent residence permit at the foot of the Kremlin, and the untimely peace of his homies, densely packed in the Kremlin wall, is guarded day and night by sentries. It seems that almost no one cares: they are already used to it. What happens, dear comrades? He killed ten - a bandit and a murderer, but killed millions - a great leader and teacher?
As an addition to the video, in which Valery Karyshev somehow explains who is who in the Orekhov mafia:
Sergei Ivanovich Timofeev (1955-1994), nicknamed Sylvester, does not need a special introduction. As a matter of fact, this entire site is devoted to his activities.
Grigory Evgenievich Gusyatinsky (1959-1995) - founder of the Medvedkovskaya organized criminal group. In the early nineties, during the life of Sylvester, the group did not play a very independent role, but was a kind of North Moscow branch of the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group. Gusyatinsky was involved in all sorts of delicate cases, such as organizing the high-profile murder of Otari Kvantrishvili. When Sylvester was blown up in September 1994, Gusyatinsky again led the Medvedkov group, but not for long. In January 1995, in Kyiv, Grisha was shot dead by his subordinate - payed assassin Aleksey Sherstobitov, nicknamed Lesha Soldier, direct executor of the order for Kvantrishvili. Apparently, Sherstobitov was afraid that he knew too much about the biography of the Sylvester feeder and therefore decided to fix the problem. Speaking about the personality of Gusyatinsky, for some reason the words of the same Lesha Soldat are recalled about how Gusyatinsky ordered his subordinates to be killed for the slightest mistake. So, for example, he ordered one to be killed for a champagne cork that got into him, and the other for refusing to carry his wife's bag. Since it is customary to say good or nothing about the dead, we will keep silent.
Stella on the graves of a prominent member of the group, Alexander Garishin, nicknamed Sasha Ryzhiy (he did not like his other nickname - Screw - he did not like), who was part of Sylvester's inner circle from the moment he was released from Tver correctional colony No. 1 (in the jargon "weaving"), and his younger comrade Vladimir Baklanov (1968-1996) nicknamed Cucumber.
Sergei Taraskin (1951-1992), wrestling coach sports school"Kuntsevo", a kind of debutant of the alley of "heroes", occupied a prominent place in the brigade of Sergei Kruglov, nicknamed Serezha Boroda, who in turn was a personal friend of Sylvester. It is known that the latter in the seventies was engaged in karate in that sports school, and therefore he probably knew Taraskin. Other signs testify to this: Timofeev's grave is adjacent to Taraskin's grave, and those who buried Sylvester - and he was the third in a row in the alley - for some reason put authority right next to Taraskin, and not somewhere else.
Sergey Taraskin died in the famous massacre in Butovo on May 6, 1992, when several groups near Moscow and Moscow agreed to dismantle at once: on the one hand, the Balashikha group (leader German Starostin, born in 1963, nicknamed Gera), on the other hand, the Podolsk group ( leader Sergei Lalakin, born in 1955, nicknamed Luchok), Chekhov (leader Nikolai Pavlinov, born in 1957, nicknamed Pavlin), as well as three Moscow groups - Anton, Petrik and Serezha Beards.
From operational information: “The funeral of Taraskin took place at the Khovansky cemetery. All members of the Beard group gathered. The participants in the gathering were armed with short-barreled machine guns. The militants who were on duty at the entrances reported on the radio about the appearance of strangers. Thieves in law and authorities arrived at the cemetery. They recommended to stop the bloodshed and decide peacefully. The meeting participants agreed, but Starostin, the leader of the Balashikhas, and his closest connection, Sukhoi, as well as the Lyubertsy leaders Sam and Mani who supported them, were sentenced to death. Serezha Boroda took over the execution of the action.
The name of Taraskin is still well known among professional athletes. On December 12-14, 2014, in the Sports Complex of the Olympic Village - 80 in Moscow, an open All-Russian tournament in Greco-Roman wrestling was held, dedicated to the memory of the master of sports of the USSR Sergey Taraskin.
Sergei Vladimirovich Kotov, nicknamed Kot, was among the authoritative people of the Orekhov group, he personally knew Sergei Ivanovich Timofeev. Andrei Viktorovich Mikhailov, nicknamed Fantik, was a member of the brigade from 1993 to 1996, and when the latter was killed, he began working with the Cat.
On March 1, 1997, Kotov and Mikhailov went to a regular meeting, apparently with someone they knew well and, leaving their wives in a restaurant, expected to return in an hour, but disappeared. Approximately five days later, the car in which they left (an armored Mercedes 140) was found in one of the parking lots with broken bulletproof glass. The guys were found a week later in the forest, it seems, on the fortieth kilometer of the Kiev highway ...
Alexander Loginov, nicknamed Bull (1977-2001), was seen in the company of Igor Smirnov (Bear), and it seems that he was somehow involved in, since he was buried nearby. Bulya was not taken by a bullet, but by drugs. At the beginning of the 2000s, the shooting in Orekhovo-Borisovo generally subsided.
Nikolai Pavlovich Vetoshkin (1961-1998) was a member of Sylvester's inner circle, but was attracted by him mainly for "dirty" work. They met back in the eighties, when Vetoshkin worked as a loader in an Orekhov store and had the opportunity to get alcohol during Gorbachev's anti-alcohol campaign.
After the murder of the chief flared up real war in the south of Moscow; once close-knit group began to split into separate brigades, one of which was headed by Vetoshkin. When they shot the district authority Dvoechnik, in 1996-1998. Vetoshkin actually became the main bandit of the southern outskirts of Moscow. Since Nikolai Palych often resorted to the traditional means of resolving disputes, namely shooting, by the end of the decade he managed to make a lot of enemies. Extraordinary precautions and an armored Mercedes did not save him from the natural end - execution from a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
Vladislav Albertovich Gorpishchenko, nicknamed Garp (1965-1994). Nikolai Modestov: “... One of the promising fighters, Garpishchenko (nicknamed Garp), was found dead near his own apartment. The killer fired the only headshot from the PM...” Garp was killed while Sylvester was still alive, in August 1994, and he became the second in the alley after Taraskin.
Sergei Nikolaevich Volodin (1969-1996), nicknamed the Dragon, was killed under circumstances unknown to me. According to one version, the “Kurgans” dealt with him for the debts of Sergei Ivanovich. It is possible that Alexander Solonik was the killer.
Sergei Dmitrievich Ananievsky (1962-1996), nicknamed Kultik, Honored Trainer of Russia in powerlifting (power triathlon), champion of the USSR in 1991, the first president of the Powerlifting Federation in Russia and concurrently ... Orekhov's authority.
Ananievsky is more often mentioned as the mastermind behind the assassination of Otari Kvantrishvili. He was shot during a showdown for power that followed the explosion of Sylvester, in early March 1996, near the US Embassy on Novinsky Boulevard. According to one version, the murder was committed by "Kurgan".
The graves of Volodin and Ananyevsky are united, which speaks of the joint affairs of the deceased and, possibly, friendship.
A common story for the 1990s: the parents of the "brothers" outlived their children, sometimes for decades.
In the late 1980s, due to the weakening state power growing criminal. Instead of disparate groups, large brigades appear, which are fighting among themselves for a place under the sun in all conceivable and inconceivable ways. The most powerful of them were (and still are) Solntsevo and Orekhov. In the south of Moscow flashes new star criminal world- Timofeev Sergey Ivanovich, nicknamed Sylvester (or as his loving subordinates called him - Ivanych).
The star of the criminal world of the 90s was born in a simple family in the village of Klin, Moshensky district Novgorod region. Having received the specialty of a tractor driver, he went to serve in the army. Having repaid his debt to his homeland, Timofeev moved to Moscow for distribution.
The neon lights of the capital promise a better life, but the hopeless situation pushes the guy to work at two jobs at once - at a construction site during the day and as an instructor in gym in the evening. He understands the hopelessness and futility of his path. Despondency settles in the heart of Timofeev.
After some time, he converges with the Orekhov punks, or rather with the Ionitsa brigade and works with thimblers at the Belgrade department store, where he meets the Kleshchenko brothers (Uzbeks). It should be noted that at that time the brigade had a conflict with local Azerbaijanis. Having lost in thimbles, and not wanting to pay, the Azerbaijani behaves defiantly, for which he "gets hit on the head." In the evening, about 80 angry compatriots of the offended gather near the department store. Timofeev and the guys can barely get away from the angry crowd of Azerbaijanis. Just after this incident, Sergei Timofeev comes to the attention of law enforcement agencies. It should be noted that, both today and then, the policy of appeasing and supporting the southern peoples led to the dominance of emigrants in Moscow, which was not to the liking of the future leader of the Orekhovskys.
In 1989, Timofeev got into Matrosskaya Tishina on suspicion of extorting money from the Niva cooperative. Mikhailov (Mikhas), Averin, Chistyakov are also involved in the case. After serving three years in colony No. 100 of the Tver region, Timofeev is released and becomes the full leader of the Orekhovskaya group.
The first thing Timofeev does is to unite the disparate brigades into one common combat vehicle under the flag of the struggle against the Caucasians. Timofeev begins to enjoy unquestioned authority among the guys and has power over them. After that, the Orekhovskys can no longer be stopped!
To solve power issues, Sylvester takes under his wing the "Kurgan" under the leadership of Oleg Nelyubin (Nelyub). It should also be noted that the group closely cooperates with the Medvedkovskaya brigade, which is under the leadership of the former KGB officer Grigory Gusyatinsky (Grisha Severny). I would like to add that sometimes it is rather problematic to draw a clear line and say who exactly belongs to which group. Often it is simply impossible to separate Solntsevo from Orekhov's, and Orekhov's from Medvedkov's.
In the early 90s, Sylvester meets the financier Lerner, who actually becomes the treasurer of the group and with his help, scams in the banking sector are scrolled. Lerner introduces Sylvester to his secretary Olga Zhlobinskaya, after which Sylvester enters into a fictitious marriage with her and receives Israeli citizenship.
After the death of the leaders, the Grisha of the North group is headed by the Pylev brothers and Osya Butorin.

The backbone of the brigade consisted of former repeat offenders. The brigade also tried to control the drug market, having received approval from Yaponchik and $ 400 million in addition. But in 1993, while having dinner with Sylvester, Kruglov urgently left on business, warning that he would return soon. But he did not return either in 10 minutes or in half an hour. The semi-decomposed corpse was found only six months later and is identified by the shoes (which is most likely true, since the tombstone does not indicate exact date death - it is written "buried").

In the course of the investigation that began, law enforcement officers suggested that the militants would probably try to crack down on the woman who had survived the stabbing, and her house on Orekhovy Boulevard was taken under surveillance. At the beginning of the eighth, the law enforcement officers who were on duty noticed a light "eight" that stopped at the house on Orekhovy. The two men inside were obviously waiting for someone. When the law enforcement officers approached the car to check the documents of the arrivals, the Zhiguli passenger suddenly fired a pistol at the policemen. The detectives had no choice but to return fire to kill from service Kalashnikov assault rifles. As it turned out later, active members of the Orekhovskaya criminal group Sergey Filipov and Alexei Sokolov were killed. During the search they found TT pistols.

Video about Orekhovsky
Mafia lawyer Karyshev about Sylvester:
Cemetery. Heroes of the 90s. Orehovskie:
A video with Sylvester (at 3.30 Sylvester briefly appears in the window) is shown in the film Malina Krasnaya 90s "Blood Brothers"
The ghost of Sylvester wanders among bandits and policemen
In September last year, a Mercedes-600 was blown up in the center of Moscow. A disfigured corpse was found in the interior of a car that had burned down after the explosion. A few days later, the detectives of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department announced that a well-known criminal authority, the leader of the Orekhovskaya group Sylvester (Sergei Timofeev in the world), had been killed. The body was solemnly buried at the Khovansky cemetery. AT last way Sylvester was seen off by over 300 thieves in law and authorities. And recently, rumors spread around Moscow that Sergei Timofeev was alive. Sylvester was allegedly seen in Odessa, in the company of another authority, nicknamed the Painting (by the way, they also tried to blow him up), and then met in Moscow and Vienna. Even MUR employees say that authority is more alive than dead. Now they recall that in the crowd surrounding the blown up Mercedes, they saw a man who looked like Sylvester. He allegedly looked at the policemen and smiled. The case of the murder of Sergei Timofeev is still being investigated by the Tver Interdistrict Prosecutor's Office. The correspondents of the CRIME DEPARTMENT of Kommersant conducted their own investigation into the life and death of Sylvester.
Tractor driver fed Arbat prostitutes
Sergey Timofeev was born on July 18, 1955 in the remote village of Klin, Novgorod Region. After school he worked on a collective farm as a tractor driver. People who knew Timofeev claim that he was a great driver and loved to do it. In the army, Timofeev served in a sports company. The future authority moved to Moscow according to the limit in 1975. He registered in one of the Orekhovo-Borisov hostels and worked as a sports instructor in the housing and communal services department of Glavmosstroy. At that time, Timofeev could often be found at the Arbat restaurant. He was still a harmless sucker, but he met Arbat prostitutes, and later they paid tribute to him. Among the local punks, he was nicknamed Seryozha of Novgorod.
In the early 80s, Serezha got along with the punks from Orekhovo-Borisovo and joined the gang of the now unknown recidivist Ionitsa. Timofeev soldered the lads (Ionitsa subsequently drank himself and retired). But Seryozha himself did not drink on principle and worked hard in the "rocking chair". The Orekhovskaya group initially, like many metropolitan teams, existed at the expense of thimblers and gamblers. Timofeev was also taken to work. Soon Seryozha Novgorodsky succeeded, picked up the Orekhovskys for himself and turned into an authoritative Sylvester (he received such a nickname because he looked like Sylvester Stallone). His personal life has also changed. Timofeev divorced his wife Lyubov (he lived with her for 7 years and had two children from her). And he married a certain Olga Zhlobinskaya. A few years later, Timofeev took her last name, and the couple applied to leave for Israel. But later she stated that the marriage was fictitious.
Sylvester befriends the Cyclops
The criminal business flourished. Having subjugated the cheaters in the South and South-West of Moscow, the Orekhovskys took over several cooperatives for repairing cars and selling spare parts. Soon the Orekhovo, Kerch and Zagorye restaurants came under their control. In 1989, when the "Slavic" teams began conflicts with the Chechen ones, the Orekhov group found allies in the person of the Solntsevo and "Lenin" bandits. The Solntsevskys at that time were headed by the former waiter of the Khrustalny restaurant Sergey Mikhailov (nickname Mikhas), and the Leninskys were commanded by a native of the Solntsevo brigade, a former firefighter Boris Antonov (nicknamed Borya-Anton). In one of the showdowns with the Chechens, which took place in the Havana restaurant, Borya lost his eye. After that, Antonov got a new nickname - Cyclops.
Soon Sylvester, Mikhas and Cyclops became friends. They were united by hatred for Caucasians and sports. Cyclops and Sylvester were actively engaged in martial arts. It is interesting that even when Antonov was a fireman, one of the future police generals visited the gym with him (his last name has not yet been disclosed). When he took a high post, the son of this policeman got into the Cyclops brigade. By the way, this son was once under investigation in the case of robbery and infliction of grievous bodily harm to an employee of the internal affairs bodies.
The authority is interested in oil
By mid-1989, Sylvester, in addition to Orekhov, held the odd side of Leninsky Prospekt. The even one belonged to Bore-Anton-Cyclops. In the fall of that year, employees of the Russian Ministry of Security and the MUR took Sylvester, Mikhas and Avira (one of the leaders of the Solntsevo group) for racketeering. Sylvester spent two years under investigation and was released in 1991, since, according to a court verdict, he served his term in a pre-trial detention center.
By that time, significant changes had taken place in Sylvester's brigade. Left without a leader, some of Timofeev's people temporarily joined the team of Mikhas, who had left earlier (according to some reports, he had to pay a bribe of about 2 million rubles for his release) and other brigades. When Sylvester came out, his brigade gathered again. In addition, his people brought with them part of Solntsevo. Sylvester's relations with Solntsevo became cooler: Timofeev was not satisfied with the fact that his former allies made peace with Chechen groups. Even left without powerful support from Solntsevo, Sylvester successfully carries out several showdowns with the Chechens in the area of Tsaritsinskiye Ponds and gains control of Sevastopol Avenue.
After that, Sylvester began to actively engage in legal business, for which he registered a network of offshore companies in Cyprus. According to some reports, he invested his group's money in Russian oil companies. Timofeev carried out several commercial projects with the reputable athlete Otari Kvantrishvili. In addition, Sylvester converges with such thieves and authorities as Painting, Petrik, Zakhar, Tsirul and Yaponchik. All of them were again united by their rejection of the "wild Caucasus" that invaded Moscow. The Orekhovskaya Timofeev brigade actively cooperates with the Galyanovsky, "Lenin" and Tagansky bandits, and Sylvester enjoys undeniable authority in these groups. According to some reports, at that time several "Slavic" thieves offered Sylvester to become a thief in law, but for some unknown reason he refused. By the way, Sylvester's friend Bore-Anton was denied the coronation, because he had previously worked in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Nevertheless, Timofeev was listened to at all thieves' gatherings.
The bandits did not spare cartridges for thieves and policemen
In April 1993, a thief in law Globus (Valery Dlukach) was shot dead near the Olimpiysky sports complex. According to some reports, Sylvester was also directly involved in his murder. The murder of the Globe was allegedly the result of a showdown related to oil business. Interestingly, shortly after this murder, a meeting of thieves in Podolsk recognized the liquidation of the Globe as correct. However, the friends of the deceased decided to take revenge on the killers.
Sylvester's brigade suffers tangible losses. Lenya Kleshch, who started with Timofeev in the Orekhov team, was killed. After some time, a corpse is found in the Moscow River, in which they identify the leader of the Galyanovo group, Sergei Boroda (relatives identified him by his shoes).
Sylvester's group also strikes back. In January 1994, on the Volokolamsk Highway, the car of the authority of Bobon (Vladislav Vanner), an associate of Globus, was shot. Bobon and his driver were killed, but Vanner's young son, who was with them, was not injured. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Bobon's people swore to destroy Sylvester.
Interestingly, the police consider the murders of Globus and Bobon solved. In October last year, during a police operation on the Petrovsky-Razumovsky market, the perpetrator of the murders, a 34-year-old resident of Kurgan, was detained. His detention cost the lives of four policemen. Three more were wounded. According to the detainee, he himself carried out the liquidation of Globus and Bobon by order of criminal structures. However, it is possible that the police could simply hang the liquidation of authorities on this person (in order to increase disclosure), since the detainee still has nothing to lose - he will be shot.
Sylvester's last case
According to the police, at the end of 1993 Timofeev's brigade took control of the Moscow Trade Bank. The group introduced its own people into the management of the bank, and Sylvester's wife, Olga Zhlobinskaya, became the chairman of the bank's board.
Then Sylvester's people began to receive loans from various branches of the Savings Bank of Russia and the Moscow Savings Bank, as well as from a number of commercial banks. In total, Sylvester's people received loans from 20 banks. Received cash received, however, not to the official account of Mostorgbank, but to various accounts opened by Sylvester's accomplices in a number of other banks. After that, the money was transferred to the accounts of private firms "International financial group"Yustinlev Inc", "Concord", "Arealinstrakh", whose leaders, according to operational data, also belonged to the Sylvester brigade or were under its roof.
Then the amounts were converted and transferred under fictitious contracts to Israel and Switzerland to the accounts of the companies "Seven starts Ltd." and SitAG. It is noteworthy that the head of "Seven starts Ltd." is Grigory Lerner, who in the fall of 1993 was put on the federal wanted list for embezzlement and fraud. By the way, in 1990, the former general director of the LOMOS Consortium, Grigory Lerner, was suspected of embezzling 40 million rubles, but fled from the police in Switzerland. However, in the same year, at the request of law enforcement agencies, he was extradited to Russia. In 1992, he was released from prison on bail, and the charges against him were dropped. Since April 1994, the chief of "Sit AG" Sergei Smolyanitsky has been on the federal wanted list. In 1993, heading Mass Information Communications LLP, he stole more than 6.5 billion rubles. According to the police, in total, more than 18 billion rubles were stolen by the fraudster in this way.
And on March 16, 1994, Mostorgbank sold two of its bills of 500 million rubles each to the Automobile All-Russian Alliance with a maturity date of April 6 of the same year. However, the bills were not repaid, and the people who signed an agreement with AVVA on behalf of Mostorgbank disappeared. A billion rubles was converted by fraudsters in one of the banks and also transferred under a fictitious contract to Israel. According to the police, the AVVA security service tried to find the stolen money. They managed to contact one of the organizers of the fraud, in the recent past an employee of the Chief intelligence agency General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. He promised to return the money, but only if the AVVA management did not contact law enforcement. However, according to some reports, Boris Berezovsky nevertheless decided to report to the police. Employees of the Moscow regional department for organized crime reported that a meeting with CEO AVVA was assigned to the office of RUOP on Shabolovka on 6 June. However, due to the busyness of the businessman, it was rescheduled for the next day. And on June 7, an attempt was made on Berezovsky. Interestingly, the employees of the RUOP received information about the terrorist act at the moment when they were expecting the arrival of the businessman. Three days after the failed assassination attempt, money with interest (a total of 1.2 billion rubles) was transferred to the settlement account of the Automobile All-Russian Alliance.
On June 14, several participants in the theft of loans, including Zhlobinskaya, were detained by employees of the Moscow RUOP, but three days later the investigators for some reason released them on bail. Their further fate is unknown. According to some reports, they left for Israel. In any case, as the police established, all the detainees had foreign passports with open visas to this country.
Employees of the Moscow city prosecutor's office investigating the attempt on Boris Berezovsky reported that many thieves in law and authorities, including Sylvester, appeared on the lists of suspects in organizing a terrorist act. However, it was not possible to prove his involvement in the assassination attempt.
According to AVVA's financial director Mikhail Antonov, in the spring of last year the alliance acquired two promissory notes from Mostorgbank. When they came due, the persons who sold the bills asked to defer payments, citing financial difficulties. As a result, the money was returned after lengthy negotiations. Berezovsky himself did not directly participate in the negotiations, but followed their progress. As Mr. Antonov noted, the head of the alliance had no reason to apply to law enforcement agencies, especially RUOP.
Mostorgbank, according to the Main Directorate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation for the Moscow Region, in September 1994 was deprived of a license for the right to conduct banking activities. The case of Mostorgbank is now being investigated by the investigative department of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of Moscow.
Timofeev identified by teeth
September 13 at 19.05 in the center of Moscow near the house # 46 on the 3rd Tverskaya-Yamskaya street was blown up powerful bomb. The explosion occurred in a brand new Mercedes-600. After the explosion, the car caught fire. From the wreckage, firefighters and policemen removed the charred corpse. The documents in the pockets of his clothes were burned, and several business cards and customs declarations were found in a bag found in the cabin. Among them are a business card and a declaration addressed to the manager Sergei Zhlobinsky (Sylvester's new surname). According to employees of the Tver Interdistrict Prosecutor's Office investigating the explosion on Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street, the identity of the deceased was established by business card, declarations and jaws. Investigators contacted Sylvester's US-based dentist. The fillings and teeth of the deceased were described to him, and the doctor recognized his work.
Subsequently, the corpse of Sylvester was identified by his older brother Vladimir, a village tractor driver. During the identification, he burst into tears and said, "What are you, Seryoga, I told you: stop this business and we will collect mushrooms in the village." The authority was buried, and his killers have not yet been detained.
As prosecutors said, some time after the funeral, rumors spread around Moscow that Sylvester was alive. The prosecutor's office believes that these are nothing more than rumors and they are beneficial not only to the brigade of authority, which still uses his name, but also to those commercial structures who were under the roof of Sylvester. In other law enforcement agencies, in particular in the MUR and RUOP, there is an opinion that the authority is actually alive, and his death is just a clever trick. Sylvester needed this in order, firstly, to cover up the traces that he left in a number of criminal cases. And secondly, to save his life: the people of Globus and Bobon intended to deal with him. Police officers do not exclude the possibility that Timofeev, who has several large firms in European countries and real estate (in particular, in Tel Aviv, Sylvester owned a luxurious mansion in a prestigious area), he decided to simply retire. And recently, the police received information from their agents in the criminal environment that Sylvester came to Odessa, where he met with an authority nicknamed Painting. They also saw him in the company of other thieves in Moscow, Tambov and Cyprus. The bandits themselves claim that he lives in Vienna. Rumors about the "resurrection" of Sylvester became all the more plausible after Timofeev's friend Sergei Boroda, allegedly killed in January last year, showed up. After his "death" he actually traveled to latin america, and when enemies almost forgot about him, he reappeared in Moscow.
CRIME DEPARTMENT
Sylvester is the owner of Moscow January 16th, 2018
The 1990s became famous for rampant crime. Perestroika frenzy produced crooks, racketeers and bandits of all stripes. Rarely did a day in Moscow go by without shootings, explosions and corpses. Criminal gangs began to organize. And one of the most brutal groups was "Orekhovskaya", which was headed by Sergei Timofeev, also known as "Tractor Driver" and later "Sylvester".
Timofeev was born in the village of Klin, Moshensky district, Novgorod region. According to the recollections of fellow villagers, he was a normal guy, did not drink, did not smoke, went in for sports. But, interestingly, at that time he did not stand out with organizational skills. In 1973 he was drafted into the army, where he served in the Kremlin regiment. Later, he worked in the mechanization department of Glavmosstroy and was actively engaged in hand-to-hand combat in a hostel, where he lived with his friend Anatoly Voronov. He also actively visited the "rocking chair". For his muscles, he was given the nickname "Sylvester", in honor of the cult action hero Sylvester Stallone. And with the punks he began to engage in divorce on thimbles.

In 1988, Timofeev, who didn’t like working on trifles at all, organized the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group out of local punks and guys from the “rocking chair”. Former athletes who were not needed by the new government found "work" with Sylvester. Tracksuits are in vogue.
The Orekhovskys begin to rob truckers. The driver was thrown out on the highway, and the goods and cars were sold. At the same time, they begin to "protect" prostitutes at the Arbat restaurant on Kalininsky Prospekt, now Novy Arbat. Sylvester subjugates the entire south and south-west of Moscow. He is paid tribute by automobile and apartment thieves, private cabbies, car dealers, and businessmen. At the same time, in the late 80s, Sylvester did not particularly bother law enforcement agencies. Here is what the legendary detective Alexander Gurov recalls: "He was a calm person, he did not finish our skin, as we say, especially much. He understood and did not complicate the operational situation."
03. Sylvester in the army 
Timofeev began an uncompromising war with the Caucasian criminal clans. Journalist Larisa Kislinskaya met with Sylvester in a pre-trial detention center when he was there on suspicion of extorting a large amount of money, and this is what she says: “They were still in the temporary detention center on Petrovka and I came to talk with the arrested Timofeev. He was such a simple village guy. In sweatpants with sagging knees. And he said, why, do you like that around, wherever you go, in a cafe, for example, there are only Caucasians?
Valery Karyshev, lawyer for killer Alexander Solonik ("Sasha Makedonsky"), who was a member of the Orekhovsky gang, on whose account the murdered thief in law Viktor Nikiforov ("Kalina") and the leader of the Bauman organized criminal group Vladislav Vanner ("Bobon"): "In Butyrka, sitting under As a result, he developed a blitz plan to destroy the leaders of the Chechen groups."
Alexander Solonik will escape from Matrosskaya Tishina, the only one in the history of the prison, and will be strangled in Greece on the orders of Sergei Butorin (Osya), along with his girlfriend, model, finalist of the Miss Russia-96 contest, 22-year-old Natalia Kotova. The order was performed by Alexei Gusev, Alexander Sharapov and Alexander Pustovalov.
Alexander Solonik and Natalia Kotova 
One of the first, on the orders of Sylvester, was killed thief in law Viktor Dlugach ("Globus"). He was "baptized" by Caucasians. With his help, they wanted to strengthen their position in Moscow. Officially, Sylvester and Globus did not share control of the Arlekino club. Globus was killed by Alexander Solonik on the night of April 9-10 when leaving the LIS'S discotheque, owned by a well-known businessman, and now a senator in the Federation Council of the Russian Federation from the Kurgan Regional Duma Sergey Lisovsky. It was the first murder of a thief in law. Audacity unseen.

And on January 17, 1994, Sergei Ananyevsky ("Kultik") killed Bobon, the "right" hand of Globus. The Arbat, which was controlled by the Baumansimi, passed into the possession of the Orekhovskys.
Grigory Gusyatinsky ("Grisha Severny") - a former KGB officer, shot dead in January 1995 in Kyiv by Lyosha the Soldier on the left. Sergey Dmitriev ("Half portion") in the center, Gusyatinsky's driver - will be strangled by Dmitry Znachkovsky in 1996. Znachkovsky will also be strangled by D. Turkin and A. Kondratiev in February 2000. And Sergey Ananievsky ("Kultik") - the champion of the USSR in 1991 in power triathlon on the right, will be shot by Pavel Zelenin in 1996. Pavel Zelenin will die of a heart attack in 1998 in "Matrosskaya Tishina"

Perhaps the most famous murder committed by the "Orekhovskaya" is the murder of Otari Kvantrishvili on April 5, 1994, which was committed by the legendary killer of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group Alexei Sherstobitov ("Lyosha the Soldier"). Kvantrishvili was leaving the Krasnopresnensky baths. The killer fired from the attic of the house, which was opposite. At the same time, Lyosha the Soldier did not bring down everyone who was nearby. According to his recollections, he saw his friend bend down to cover his murdered comrade with his body. As they say, this friend was the famous wrestler Mikhail Mamiashvili. The killer appreciated the nobility and courage and did not kill him and Kvantrishvili's bodyguards. The murder happened because of the redistribution of the Tuapse oil refinery, which Sylvester wanted to take over. Kvantrishvili had great influence and was close to President Yeltsin.

After the murder of Kvantrishvili, Sylvester flew to the USA, to Brooklyn, to another legendary thief in law, Vyacheslav Ivankov ("Jap"). Nobody knows what they were talking about.
Vyacheslav Ivankov ("Jap") 
Alexander Trushkin, MUR operative officer in 1996-2006: “There were so many murders, shootouts and shootouts in Moscow that we didn’t have time to travel around. But this group, in my opinion, was twice as limitless as all the others because with no one did not conduct a dialogue, but dealt with everyone only by executions.
On June 7, 1994, the car of Boris Berezovsky, who at that time was the "grey eminence" of Russia, drove out of the gates of the Logovaz building on Novokuznetskaya Street. A nearby car exploded. A security guard and driver were killed. Berezovsky was slightly wounded. It seems that two outstanding bills of exchange, each for 500 million rubles, which the All-Russian Automobile Alliance "AVVA", headed by Berezovsky, bought on March 16, 1994 from the Moscow Trade and Cooperative Bank with a maturity date of April 16, 1994, became the subject of a showdown. Attempts to negotiate with Sylvester, who protected the bank, did not lead to anything. Later, all the money was returned to Berezovsky, and even with interest of one billion two hundred million rubles. And he himself insisted on the termination of the criminal case.
Boris Berezovsky after the assassination attempt 
By the fall of 1994, Sylvester is called the uncrowned king of Moscow. On September 13, 1994, Sylvester got into his Mercedes, which was standing at house 46, on 3rd Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street, took out mobile phone and there was an explosion. The customer turned out to be his deputy, Sergei Butorin, who is said to have feared that he would have to answer for the murders he received orders to carry out from Sylvester. Osya became the head of the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group.
Sergei Butorin ("Osia") 
With his first wife, Lyubov, Sylvester divorced and married Olga Zhlobinskaya. She was chairman of the board of the Moscow merchant bank, head of CJSC "Yustinlev Inc" and "Arealinstrakh". Through these offices, the money of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group was laundered. She was detained by the Moscow RUBOP on suspicion of embezzling 18 billion rubles, and then released on bail and she immediately fled to Israel and took a new name - Ilona Rubinstein.

Since the corpse of Sylvester was disfigured after the explosion, they say that he staged his murder, and now he lives happily ever after. They even call the country Israel. Everything can be.
