Nikolai Martynov. A Nizhny Novgorod resident, a former GRU officer, faces life imprisonment for the murder of a Moscow businessman. Let them say - oligarch's DNA: millions for an illegitimate daughter

Retired GRU Colonel Gennady Korotenko, who is also a centurion of the Volga Cossack Army, faces criminal punishment, Kommersant writes.

As follows from the materials of the criminal case, on March 30, 2014, 56-year-old Nikolai Martynov, general director of the MSK management company and co-founder of the Cyprus company Clinolia Holding Limited, which owns several enterprises in Russia for the production of raw materials and equipment for oil and gas and chemical industries.

One bullet hit the businessman in the chest, and the second got stuck in the eye socket, Life.ru previously wrote. Martynov’s driver did not wait for the ambulance to arrive and took him to the nearest hospital, and after a few hours the wounded man was transported to Moscow. However, it was not possible to save his life.

A cartridge case from a Makarov pistol was recovered from the crime scene, but for a long time the investigation was marking time.

A breakthrough in the investigation occurred by chance after a year and a half. On August 5, 2015, in the Avtozavodsky district of Nizhny Novgorod, operatives of the regional FSB and police opened a private garage, which turned out to be literally filled to the brim with army weapons. Kalashnikov assault rifles, assault rifles with optical sights, two machine guns, under-barrel grenade launchers, a collection of daggers, sabers and other bladed weapons, a large amount of ammunition of various types and calibers, as well as the Igla portable anti-aircraft missile system were seized.

On the same day, the owner of the garage, local resident Gennady Korotenko, was detained, who had a Makarov pistol in his pocket at the time of the meeting with the operatives. The detainee himself explained that he grabbed the PM to protect garden plots, in which his organization is involved - “Cossack Freemen named after Ermak Timofeevich,” which is structurally part of the Volga Cossack Army. The found arsenal, according to the Cossack and retired intelligence officer, did not belong to him, but to a certain “casual acquaintance” to whom he rented out his garage.

The examination showed that one of the pistols found during the operation was used to kill Martynov.

Four months later, the probable mastermind of the murder, Martynov’s 35-year-old business partner Anton Erokhin, was found and taken into custody. About a year before the assassination attempt, a dispute arose between businessmen over assets. They were unable to divide several enterprises in the Nizhny Novgorod region that produce acetone, ethanol and other chemicals used for the needs of the oil and gas industry. At first, Erokhin was going to buy out Martynov’s share in Clinolia for 2.6 billion rubles, but then he decided to simply kill him, paying the killer 1 million rubles.

The Volga Cossacks do not believe the investigators’ version and consider Korotenko an example to follow. The accused is a veteran of the Afghan, Abkhaz and Chechen military campaigns, was awarded the Order of Courage, the Red Banner and the Red Star, medals “For Courage” and “For Military Merit”, and also received the title of Hero of Abkhazia and for special manifestations of courage and bravery - Order of Leon.

“Old Man Korotenko is not a mummer, of which there are many now, but a real ancestral Cossack,” says Volnitsa board chairman Sergei Akimov. “In the past, he was a military officer, a GRU colonel. He was seriously wounded, has a disability, but the investigation ignores his illness.”

As Kommersant learned, the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for the Moscow Region has completed the investigation into the murder of businessman Nikolai Martynov, who was shot two years ago in Iksha, Moscow Region. The crime, according to investigators, was ordered by Mr. Martynov’s business partner, who hired Gennady Korotenko, a retired GRU colonel who is now a centurion in the Volga Cossack Army, to play the role of killer. Friends do not believe that the veteran, awarded with a dozen military awards, was involved in a contract killing. According to their version, he really did not part with the Makarov pistol, but used the weapon only to protect businessmen and garden plots.

56-year-old Nikolai Martynov, co-founder of the Cypriot company Clinolia Holding Limited, which owns several enterprises in Russia for the production of raw materials and equipment for the oil, gas and chemical industries, was killed on March 30, 2014 near his private home in Iksha, Moscow Region. That evening, the businessman returned home after attending a performance at the Vakhtangov Theater. Getting out of the car, he began to open the gate with the key and at that moment came under fire. The killer's bullets hit Mr. Martynov in the head and chest. The driver managed to take the seriously wounded man to the district hospital, but after several operations and intensive care, the businessman still died without regaining consciousness.

Having accepted a criminal case of murder, investigators of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for the Moscow Region first qualified the crime as the result of a sudden conflict situation that arose in a businessman - under Part 1 of Art. 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (murder). However, it was not possible to find the criminals for a long time.

The breakthrough in the investigation occurred, one might say, by accident, and operational activities carried out 400 km from the capital contributed to the detection of the crime. On August 5, 2015, in the Avtozavodsky district of Nizhny Novgorod, operatives of the regional FSB and police opened a private garage, which turned out to be literally filled to the brim with army weapons. Among the items seized were Kalashnikov assault rifles, assault rifles with optical sights, two machine guns, under-barrel grenade launchers, a collection of dirks, sabers and other bladed weapons, countless amounts of ammunition of various types and calibers, and, finally, an Igla man-portable anti-aircraft missile system.

On the same day, the owner of the garage, local resident Gennady Korotenko, was detained, who had a Makarov pistol in his pocket at the time of the meeting with the operatives. The detainee himself explained that he grabbed the PM to protect garden plots, in which his organization is involved - “Cossack Freemen named after Ermak Timofeevich,” which is structurally part of the Volga Cossack Army. The found arsenal, according to the Cossack, did not belong to him, but to a certain “casual acquaintance” to whom he rented out his garage. The tenant was allegedly involved in the supply of goods to gun stores and could use the garage as a transshipment base for the goods.

In this regard, the Nizhny Novgorod episode was connected to a criminal case of murder and transferred to the investigation of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for the Moscow Region. There, in addition to the charges already brought against the Cossack, a charge of murder was added. It is worth noting that after his interrogation the crime was classified as ordered and committed as part of a group (clauses “g” and “h”, part 2 of article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

Four months later, the probable mastermind of the murder was found and taken into custody - he turned out to be Mr. Martynov’s 35-year-old business partner, Anton Erokhin. According to the investigation, about a year before the assassination attempt, serious disagreements arose between the businessmen. The partners, who owned Clinolia Holding Limited in equal shares, could not divide the company and its assets. Among them were several enterprises in the Nizhny Novgorod region producing acetone, ethanol and other chemicals used for the needs of the oil and gas industry - Sintez OJSC, Sintez Acetone LLC, etc. At first, the co-founders agreed that Mr. Erokhin would buy from Mr. Martynov’s share in Clinolia for 2.6 billion rubles, but at some stage of the auction the price apparently seemed too high to the buyer. As a result, according to investigators, he decided to simply eliminate the seller, contracting the Cossack Korotenko, who provided him security services, for this action. The sotnik, as the investigation believes, agreed to organize and carry out the murder for 1 million rubles.

Let us note that neither the defendants themselves nor their lawyers, having familiarized themselves with the charges brought against them, agreed with the position of the investigation. For example, representatives of Anton Erokhin believe that he had no motive for killing his partner, since shortly before the crime, the businessmen, according to their version, entered into a “mutually beneficial deal.” With the death of Mr. Martynov, the financial situation of the proposed customer “has significantly worsened.” This, by the way, is evidenced by the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court, which declared Mr. Erokhin, who owed one of the banks as a guarantor for loans more than 383 million rubles, bankrupt.

Representatives of the Volga Cossacks also disagree with the accusations, considering centurion Korotenko a hero and example to follow. The retired colonel, according to them, took part in at least three wars - Afghan, Abkhaz and Chechen. He was awarded the Orders of Courage, the Red Banner and the Red Star, medals "For Courage" and "For Military Merit", and also received the title of Hero of Abkhazia and for a special manifestation of courage and bravery - the Order of Leon from a little-recognized republic.

As the chairman of the board of Volnitsa, Sergei Akimov, explained to Kommersant, having detained his comrade in arms with a weapon, law enforcement officers simply decided to pin a murder on him, to which he had nothing to do. Now, according to the Cossack, the investigation is delaying time under various pretexts, since it does not have “a single piece of evidence” of the centurion’s involvement in the crimes. So, in his opinion, the fingerprints of captain Korotenko were not found on the seized weapons, and the suspicious tenant of the garage in the Avtozavodsky district, about whom he spoke, was never identified.

“Dad Korotenko is not a mummer, like there are many of them now, but a real ancestral Cossack,” said Mr. Akimov. “In the past, he was a military officer, a GRU colonel. He was seriously wounded, has a disability, but the investigation ignores his illness, since dad is still in medical training has been in Abkhazia for a long time, being a hero and honorary citizen of this country."

Cossack Akimov, according to him, cannot judge the origin of the Makarov pistol found on Gennady Korotenko, but he is sure that the centurion needed the weapon exclusively for peaceful purposes. To protect garden plots in the Nizhny Novgorod region, in which Volnitsa is constantly involved, and infrequent business trips to the capital, in Moscow the centurion worked as a security guard for businessmen.

The trial of Nizhny Novgorod Cossack Gennady Korotenko has begun in Moscow. Our fellow countryman is accused of murdering businessman Nikolai Martynov on the order of his partner Anton Erokhin. At one time, “LS” already talked about this sensational story.

Murder in the Moscow region

Let us remind you that Nikolai Martynov was shot dead in March 2014 in the village of Iksha near Moscow. According to investigators, his business partner ordered the murder, contracting Gennady Korotenko, a retired GRU colonel, who at that time was a centurion of the Volga Cossack Army, to play the role of killer.

Korotenko is a very famous person in certain circles. One might even say legendary. The retired GRU colonel participated in at least three wars - Afghan, Abkhaz and Chechen. He was awarded the Order of Courage, the Red Banner and the Red Star, and the medals “For Courage” and “For Military Merit.” He is an honorary citizen of Abkhazia, and in 2011-2012 he even worked as an adviser to the honorary consul of this republic in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

So what could connect this man with the criminal showdowns of capital businessmen?

So, 56-year-old Nikolai Martynov, co-founder of the Cypriot company Clinolia Holding Limited, which owns several enterprises in Russia for the production of raw materials and equipment for the oil, gas and chemical industries, was killed on March 30, 2014 near his private home in Iksha, Moscow Region. That evening, the businessman returned home after attending a performance at the Vakhtangov Theater. Getting out of the car, he began to open the gate with the key and at that moment came under fire. One bullet hit the businessman in the chest, the other got stuck in the eye socket. Martynov’s driver did not wait for the ambulance to arrive and took him to the nearest hospital himself. A few hours later the wounded man was taken to Moscow. But after several operations and intensive therapy, the entrepreneur died without regaining consciousness.

A cartridge case from a Makarov pistol was recovered from the crime scene. For a long time, the investigation was marking time. The Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for the Moscow Region initially qualified the crime as the result of a conflict situation that suddenly arose in the deceased. They say he had an argument with someone on the road and they shot him. But it soon became clear that this version does not stand up to criticism.

Arsenal in the garage

It was an accident that helped uncover, as it has now become clear, a contract killing. On August 5, 2015, in the Avtozavodsky district of Nizhny Novgorod, operatives of the regional FSB and police opened a private garage, which turned out to be the largest weapons cache found in recent years. 100 firearms and their components were found in the garage. There were pistols, shotguns, Kalashnikov assault rifles, carbines with optical sights, two machine guns with magazines, grenade launchers, and even an Igla man-portable anti-aircraft missile system!

The owner of the garage was also detained on the same day. It turned out to be former GRU officer Gennady Korotenko, and he had a Makarov pistol with him. True, the detainee immediately stated that he had nothing to do with the arsenal, that the garage was rented out to a stranger who could be involved in the supply of goods to gun stores, and the Korotenko pistol was needed to protect garden plots, in which his organization was involved “ Cossack freemen named after Ermak Timofeevich."

However, the mysterious tenant of the garage has never been identified. Perhaps it doesn't exist at all. And when the weapons seized in Nizhny Novgorod were examined, it turned out that Moscow businessman Nikolai Martynov was killed with a Makarov, found in Korotenko’s garage.

The episode with illegal arms trafficking was connected to a criminal case of murder and transferred to the investigation of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for the Moscow Region. Gradually, investigators reconstructed the crime scene.

Investigation version

So, disagreements arose between Nikolai Martynov and the second co-owner of Clinolia Holding Limited, Anton Erokhin. The partners could not divide the company and its assets, including several enterprises in the Nizhny Novgorod region that produce acetone, ethanol and other chemicals used for the needs of the oil and gas industry: Sintez OJSC, Sintez Acetone LLC, etc. . At first, the co-founders agreed that Erokhin would buy his share in Clinolia from Martynov for 2.6 billion rubles, but at some stage of the bargaining, the price apparently seemed too high to the buyer. As a result, according to investigators, he decided to simply eliminate the seller.

And the “free Cossack” Korotenko, it turns out, not only protected vegetable gardens from thieves, but also provided security services to capital businessmen. He worked, among other things, for Erokhin. This is how, according to investigators, a conspiracy arose between them. The businessman offered the Nizhny Novgorod resident to eliminate Martynov for a million rubles, which he did...

Gennady Korotenko never admitted his guilt. His friends - the Cossacks - do not believe that he could commit this crime. “Old Man Korotenko is not a mummer, of which there are many now, but a real ancestral Cossack. Formerly a military officer, GRU colonel. He was seriously wounded, has a disability, but the investigation ignores his illness, since the father is still in Abkhazia during his medical studies, being a hero and an honorary citizen of this country,” said the chairman of the board of “Cossack Volnitsa” Sergei Akimov. According to him, his fingerprints were not found on the pistol seized from Korotenko. That is, there is no direct evidence. However, investigators have a different opinion.

Meanwhile, another, let’s say, juicy incident has appeared in this case. Lada Ryasnova, who worked as an employee of the control and audit service in Martynov’s company, filed a civil lawsuit in the Zyuzinsky District Court of Moscow. She stated that she was in a civil marriage with the businessman (the oilman’s official wife had already been living abroad for several years by that time) and gave birth to a daughter, Yaroslava, from him. Ryasnova asked to establish Martynov’s paternity in relation to her daughter, which would allow her to give the child his last name and “realize the inheritance rights of a minor.” At the request of the court, investigators provided data on the DNA profile of businessman Martynov, which was used during the investigation and filed as evidence in the case. It was the results of DNA examinations that became one of the key evidence of Gennady Korotenko’s involvement in the crime.

War of Expertise

The court ordered a study to be conducted at the Russian Center for Forensic Medical Examination of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Experts have established the paternity of the murdered person in relation to the girl with a probability of more than 99.9%. They also compared her DNA with that of the businessman's 24-year-old son, establishing their paternal relationship with a probability of more than 99.7%.

For their part, the defendants in the case - relatives of Nikolai Martynov - rejected Ryasnova’s demands, and their lawyer Anastasia Tsvetkova, in the past, by the way, a judge of the same Zyuzinsky court, saw in her actions an attempt at fraud in order to receive part of the inheritance. They also stated that in the last years of his life the businessman was infertile, and when the girl was conceived, he was generally abroad. As a result, the court was presented with data from Aeroflot, Raiffeisenbank, medical institutions and the World Class fitness club, indicating that during the period of development of relations with Ryasnova, the businessman was still in Moscow and did not contact doctors with complaints of infertility.

It is interesting that during the trial, a certain Nizhny Novgorod resident came to court and stated that he was the girl’s father. True, our fellow countryman could not explain where and when he communicated with Lada, and incorrectly described her appearance eight years ago. The court ordered a DNA examination, which showed zero probability of paternity from Nizhny Novgorod, while re-confirming the relationship between Yaroslava and Nikolai Martynov’s son.

As a result, judge Elena Safyan rejected Ryasnova’s claims in full. At the same time, the decision did not even mention the results of a genetic examination conducted using the DNA profile of the murdered Martynov and which confirmed his paternity with almost one hundred percent probability, although it was this DNA profile that helped the investigation bring charges against Gennady Korotenko. It is possible that the lawyers of the accused in court will take advantage of this circumstance.

Thus, it is still problematic to predict how the trial of the Nizhny Novgorod Cossack will end. However, it is known that if the court finds Gennady Korotenko guilty of contract murder, he faces a life sentence.

A retired GRU colonel is accused of a high-profile contract killing.

The investigation into the murder of businessman Nikolai Martynov, committed two years ago in Iksha near Moscow, is almost completed. According to investigators, the crime was ordered by Mr. Martynov’s business partner, who hired Gennady Korotenko, a retired GRU colonel who is now a centurion of the Volga Cossack Army, to play the role of killer.

56-year-old Nikolai Martynov, co-founder of the Cypriot company Clinolia Holding Limited, which owns several enterprises in Russia for the production of raw materials and equipment for the oil, gas and chemical industries, was killed on March 30, 2014 near his private home. That evening, the businessman returned home after attending a performance at the Vakhtangov Theater. Getting out of the car, he began to open the gate with the key and at that moment came under fire. The killer's bullets hit Mr. Martynov in the head and chest. The driver managed to take the seriously wounded man to the district hospital, but after several operations and intensive care, the businessman still died without regaining consciousness.

On the same day, the owner of the garage, local resident Gennady Korotenko, was detained, who had a Makarov pistol in his pocket at the time of the meeting with the operatives. The detainee himself explained that he grabbed the PM to protect garden plots, in which his organization is involved - “Cossack Freemen named after Ermak Timofeevich,” which is structurally part of the Volga Cossack Army. The found arsenal, according to the Cossack, did not belong to him, but to a certain “casual acquaintance” to whom he rented out his garage. The tenant was allegedly involved in the supply of goods to gun stores and could use the garage as a transshipment base for the goods.

However, the police who began the investigation did not believe Mr. Korotenko’s version - the centurion was arrested on charges of illegal weapons trafficking (Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). After some time - apparently, thanks to the examinations carried out - the investigation was able to establish that a businessman in the Moscow region was shot dead with a pistol seized in Nizhny. In this regard, the Nizhny Novgorod episode was connected to a criminal case of murder and transferred to the investigation of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for the Moscow Region. There, in addition to the charges already brought against the Cossack, a charge of murder was added. It is worth noting that after his interrogation the crime was classified as ordered and committed as part of a group (clauses “g” and “h”, part 2 of article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

As the chairman of the board of Volnitsa, Sergei Akimov, explained, having detained his comrade in arms with a weapon, law enforcement officers simply decided to “pin” him with a murder to which he had nothing to do. Now, according to the Cossack, the investigation is delaying time under various pretexts, since it does not have “a single piece of evidence” of the centurion’s involvement in the crimes. So, in his opinion, the fingerprints of captain Korotenko were not found on the seized weapons, and the suspicious tenant of the garage in the Avtozavodsky district, about whom he spoke, was never identified.

Cossack Akimov does not undertake to judge the origin of the Makarov pistol found on Gennady Korotenko, but he is sure that the centurion needed the weapon exclusively for peaceful purposes. To protect garden plots in the Nizhny Novgorod region, in which Volnitsa is constantly involved, and infrequent business trips to the capital, in Moscow the centurion worked as a security guard for businessmen.

The Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation confirmed to Kommersant the end of the investigation into the high-profile case, saying that the defendants are now familiarizing themselves with the investigation materials. It is interesting that earlier the Cossack atamans themselves became victims of killers. For example, as the Ruspres agency reported, the authoritative Anapa deputy Sergei Zirinov is now on trial on charges of attempted murder of the ataman of the Kuban Cossack army Nikolai Nesterenko.

As Kommersant learned, a legal incident that threatened to turn into a judicial scandal occurred during the investigation of the murder of Nikolai Martynov, who worked in the oil and gas industry, committed in March 2014. The investigation identified retired GRU officer Gennady Korotenko, who was accused of carrying out the crime, largely thanks to the results of DNA examinations. Meanwhile, while the defendants in the case are waiting for the trial to begin, an ex-employee of the company of the deceased businessman, Lada Ryasnova, tried, using DNA samples obtained from the investigation, to achieve recognition of the businessman as the father of her daughter, born out of an official marriage. Despite the fact that experts confirmed paternity with an accuracy of more than 99.9%, the Zyuzinsky Court of Moscow was not convinced by their findings. The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation should put an end to this issue.

As Kommersant learned, the reason for an unexpected civil trial arose after the murder of 56-year-old businessman Nikolai Martynov three years ago. Over the years, he worked for the largest Russian and international oil companies, and then organized his own business, becoming a co-founder of the Cyprus company Clinolina Holding Limited, which owns enterprises in Russia for the production of equipment for the oil, gas and chemical industries. Late in the evening of March 30, 2014, the businessman returned to his cottage in Iksha near Moscow. A killer was waiting near the businessman’s house and shot him several times. The bullets hit him in the chest and head, and the victim died in hospital six days later. The Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for the Moscow Region opened a murder case, but, as Kommersant told Kommersant, it was only possible to detain the alleged killer in August 2015. Then FSB officers for the Nizhny Novgorod region discovered a garage literally filled with weapons and ammunition in the Avtozavodsky district of the regional center. The owner of the garage turned out to be Gennady Korotenko, a retired GRU colonel. He was detained, and during a personal search, a Makarov pistol was confiscated from him. According to him, he did not know about the weapons warehouse, since he rented the garage to another person (no tenant, however, was found). Meanwhile, the pistol found on Gennady Korotenko, based on the results of examination and examination of the bullet casing, was recognized as the very weapon from which Nikolai Martynov was shot. The retired colonel was charged with murder, and soon the alleged mastermind of the crime was also detained - according to investigators, he is another co-owner of Clinolina Holding Limited, 35-year-old Anton Erokhin. According to the investigation, he tried to buy out Mr. Martynov’s share in the company, but the businessmen did not agree on the price, and Mr. Erokhin hired him for 1 million rubles. killer to eliminate a partner. The investigation has already been completed, and the defendants are now familiarizing themselves with the case materials.

Meanwhile, Lada Ryasnova, who worked as an employee of the control and audit service in Mr. Martynov’s company, filed a civil claim with the Zyuzinsky District Court of Moscow. She stated that she was in a civil marriage with the businessman (the oilman’s official wife had already been living abroad for several years by that time) and gave birth to a daughter, Yaroslava, from him. Mrs. Ryasnova asked to establish Martynov’s paternity in relation to her daughter, which would give the right to give the child his last name and “realize the inheritance rights of a minor.” At the request of the court, investigators provided data on Mr. Martynov’s DNA profile, which was used during the investigation and filed as evidence in the case. It was the results of DNA examinations that became one of the key evidence of Mr. Korotenko’s involvement in the crime.

The court ordered an examination to be carried out at the Russian Center for Forensic Medical Examination of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Experts have established the paternity of the murdered person in relation to the girl with a probability of more than 99.9%. They also compared her DNA with that of the businessman's 24-year-old son, establishing their paternal relationship with a probability of more than 99.7%.

For their part, the defendants in the case - relatives of Nikolai Martynov - rejected Ms. Ryasnova’s demands, and their lawyer Anastasia Tsvetkova, in the past, by the way, a judge of the same Zyuzinsky court, saw in her actions an attempt at fraud in order to receive part of the inheritance. They also stated that in the last years of his life the businessman was infertile, and when the girl was conceived, he was generally abroad. As a result, the court was presented with data from Aeroflot, Raiffeisenbank, medical institutions and the World Class fitness club, indicating that during the period of development of relations with Mrs. Ryasnova, the businessman was still in Moscow and did not contact doctors with complaints of infertility. It is interesting that during the trial, a certain fellow countryman of the accused Korotenko came to court, declaring that he was the father of the girl. True, he could not explain where and when he communicated with Ms. Ryasnova and incorrectly described her appearance eight years ago. The court ordered a DNA examination, which showed zero probability of paternity from Nizhny Novgorod, while re-confirming the relationship between Yaroslava and Nikolai Martynov’s son.

As a result, Judge Elena Safyan rejected Ms. Ryasnova’s claims in full. At the same time, the decision did not even mention the results of a genetic examination conducted using the DNA profile of the murdered Martynov and which confirmed his paternity with almost one hundred percent probability, although it was this DNA profile that helped the investigation bring charges against the alleged killer of the businessman. In their complaints against this decision, the applicant’s representatives indicated that the results of the DNA examination were recognized as one of the main evidence by the plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. The point in this case, where the evidence of the investigation is called into question by the court, must be put by the Supreme Court. Lada Ryasnova herself is reluctant to comment on the current situation. “Of course, I will go to the end. Yaroslava knew Kolya as a father until she was four years old, but here he turns out to be not the father - and this despite all the evidence,” she told Kommersant, explaining that she was very tired of the long legal proceedings.
