he took buki for grinding, so he was a very rich, wealthy man, accordingly, it was impossible for local residents to tolerate such a person nearby, and yes, that’s why the miller and the mill were not allowed to be installed in the populated area, in this case this tradition was observed, that is, the weight the yard is on that side of the road, and the mill with the miller's house is on this side of the road. due to the fact that the mills were located far from settlements and worked due to the forces of nature, people believed that the millers were associated with evil spirits, and they themselves believed in this, for example, when there was frost , a piece of lard was placed on the mill wheel to appease the water one. the river zhizhma, it is translated from the baltic dialects as zheka - this is a witch, and is translated as a witch’s river, and that’s accordingly, since the miller was very rich, very wealthy, all the locals said about him that he was with evil spirits, even if the mother-in-law lives in...

if you decide to rewatch the film, pay attention to the shots where the knights are leading the witch, in one of them you can recognize our armor, i i can admire them up close, why do you think we’re not having an exhibition of scales in...

i have no words, honestly, because it involved a couple of sandwiches and coffee, and this is melnik’s ordinary lunch, come on, okay, sunday lunch, sunday lunch for the millers, you can imagine, and it’s no coincidence that such a rich table appeared at the miller’s on sundays, because he was the second most wealthy person after the... master,

well, at least for a minute i ’ll imagine myself as such, i’ll try everything that stands here the table is really rich, my eyes are wide open, but we will start according to the classics, from the first, a dish appeared in front of me, which, it seems to me, is the most popular slavic dish, this is bosch, what happens to beets before they go into the pan, like any housewife, i boiled it, peeled it, grated it, and caramelized it. if you add a pinch of sugar and flour during frying, the beets will retain more juice and the borscht will turn out to be a bright, rich color. there are at least fifty types of this soup, and this is clearly not the limit, because each the hostess adds something of her own to the recipe. for example, victoria believes that real borscht is served with lard and croutons. it’s not that i don’t know, well, let’s get it right, coliusz, you are the mistress. so we put in a piece.

lard on bread with garlic, take a spoonful of borscht, am i right? uncle fyodor said, it’s wrong, you are eating a sandwich with straw, all the instructions have been received, which means you can enjoy the first hot spoon of borscht, its taste is really rich, rich. i will say one thing, borscht should be rich and thick, that is, this is the right borscht. proportions one to alone, this is a delicious thicket and broth. in addition to the borscht , the knuckle immediately caught my eye; according to the hostess, every visitor should try it. there are probably 5-6 kilograms here, no less, well, a little less, but it will be enough for a good lunch. victoria marinates the knuckle in salt and pepper, no foreign seasonings. peppered, salted, marinated in the oven. i see that

the knuckle has an amazing golden crust, and something tells me, probably my culinary experience, that this crust is coated with honey, but i was mistaken, because... many people are allergic to honey, and the owners want everyone to try their famous roll, mustard is used instead of honey, let me demonstrate, if you don’t have enough mustard, or horseradish, for example, here they are, please, side by side, served together with the roll, and for those for people like me, who are especially curious and love honey, i would also put a doctor here. the taste of the shank is amazing, despite the fact that the dish is quite fatty, you can hardly feel it, which means... the shank is well baked and marinated perfectly, i want to praise the culinary abilities housewives, the knuckle was a success and the most surprising thing is that despite the fact that our crust, as you heard, is without honey, it is just as crispy, just as golden brown and just as aromatic, but something is missing, namely a side dish, i have

there are two to choose from, if you are very hungry, uh-huh, very hungry, let's take potatoes with mushrooms, then potatoes with mushrooms, uh-huh. but it is better , of course, to eat meat with vegetables, because vegetables will perfectly complement it and perfectly highlight the taste of baked meat. i would like to pay special attention to salting. carrot, well, here it is of course, i was very interested in this cabbage. what kind of cabbage is this? daily cabbage. from the name it is already clear that the cabbage is pickled for only a day. due to this, it remains crispy and very light in taste. i would have never thought of it, but as a special one. dish on this table - i choose not borscht, not a wonderful delicious shank, not smoked meats, but this day-old cabbage, for me this is some completely new world, a new world of taste sensations, but how do you cook it? yes, everything is very simple, make

a marinade, water, salt, sugar, of course bay leaf and allspice, and also a drop of vinegar, it plays the role of a preservative . imagine, there is a fresh cucumber, there is a pickled, barrel cucumber, and there is a lightly salted or lightly salted cucumber, so this cabbage is an excellent analogue of a lightly salted cucumber. it is not for nothing that millers at one time were not only rich, but also respected people, because from flour you can prepare so many amazing, tasty, and most importantly: different dishes, i can safely call lida the flour capital of belarus and believe me, i will definitely return here.

diamond sales business in africa. once the jewel is buried, the owner will never see it again. they will tell him a story that someone stole the stone. many who have encountered. an analogy was drawn with this story with the fairy tale “the golden key”. all the victims, like pinocchio, believed the stories of the cunning patron, who, like basilio ilisi’s cat alice, assured people that if they trusted him with their money, they could enter a field of miracles, where their number would increase threefold, but instead the result was always the same: diamonds disappeared instead of a field of miracles, a person ended up in the land of fools. we are considering a criminal case, then it is filled with something, that here, firstly, there was a very original way of committing crimes.

the main person involved in this story was andrei lagun, a creative man with a wild

imagination, although he more often used his talents to develop criminal schemes, for which, by the way, he was convicted more than once, after his next release the man decided to return to the criminal path, the organizer of the crime, i repeat, previously convicted, including including several times for fraud, for a person who... during his next sentence, the prisoner began to tell his cellmates about the business

that he supposedly had in africa. in order to become a company, it was necessary to invest in the purchase of diamonds, which, according to laguna, he would resell to all investors and earn fabulous profits. the interest of the developer of the scheme, in his own words, was that he and his partner would sell one of their diamonds, so to speak. charik investigated the criminal case from the very beginning case, ensured the planning of the investigation and carried out the most important investigative actions,

was involved in the development of decisions on bringing in defendants, and prepared all the most important documents related to the criminal case. as for him, he was previously convicted, including serving a sentence in vk-11, in the city of volkovysko, he actually found two victims there, as they later established, to whom he told that he was allegedly dealing in gold. al diamond business, also in minsk he rented an apartment here, which was very dear, and practically everywhere, among his acquaintances , he talked about it, as if they trusted him. once free, andrei lagun quickly realized that many people would want to work in his diamond business and the man began to establish contacts with the african

continent, he even flew there several times to meet the right people, but as it turned out later, not for in order to buy and sell diamonds in order to stage a performance for their victims. people have the word swindlers, these are the classic swindlers who created conditions.

our citizens trusted the criminals, in order to make the business look larger, lagoon attracted two more accomplices to his team, yuri makhinichev and pavel ruzhenkov, but if the first played only the role of a driver and extra during performances, the second fully joined the game and became

an assistant diamond tycoon, from some episodes during his activities he even left, mostly he... at meetings - he confirmed the words everything was said with lagon, sometimes he showed photographs, sometimes he gave receipts there about what he really takes, accepts obligations, the scheme according to which the diamond company worked was approximately the same in all cases: first, andrei lagun, among his acquaintances, looked for a suitable victim, as a rule, it was a person with money. who planned to invest in a profitable business, then there was ardor in the eyes, a beautiful fairy tale about african diamonds and triple profits and, for dessert, documents and photographs taken in namibia. after such a portion of beautiful promises, rarely could anyone resist investing in a profitable business. the victims were

just as randomly through word of mouth, so many people wanted to get into a profitable business, and specifically among random acquaintances. among others, there is an episode in which lagoon persuades a man he met at a wedding to invest in african diamonds. it took lagun only a few days to process the new investor, and the man was already ready to invest and give the stranger 150. q7, bmw, that is, like cars, well, these cars, all purchased or purchased with

money obtained in a way that was deceived, or he simply took possession of these machines through deception. as if, that is, well, people believed it, the thirst for profit overshadowed people’s reason, and no one even wanted to think that free cheese only comes in a mousetrap. for those who doubted it, lagoon and his counterfeiters organized a tour to africa, where, according to a worked-out script, people were shown the same performance. the roles were distributed, only the place of the next victim remained vacant.

it was hundreds of thousands of dollars in 2015 through an acquaintance with whom i had previously sat in prison, lagun met successful businessmen; after several meetings, he persuaded people to invest in his diamond business, but to check, the businessmen decided to send the son of one of them to africa. this lagoon did not alarm us at all, because the scheme according to which it was necessary to circle the young man had been in place for a long time. worked out, they dropped out - on the territory of turkey, from turkey they had already left for nabibia, that is, in nabibi it was like this guy, his son was waiting - in a hotel, and allagum together with his ...

to hide in a vacant lot, then there were two options : somehow, miraculously, the diamond disappeared, or the new owner of the stone was stopped by the police on the way; needless to say, it was lagoon who organized the first and second set-up? in the case of the son of a belarusian businessman, the stone disappeared; in response to the young man’s claims that the diamond was stolen, he was told. that he himself was to blame, there was no need to tell everyone about his trip to africa, but the tourist’s troubles did not end there, then lagoon

arranges a tour of nabibi, takes him there at a certain time, when the disposal is already over, they come there to pick it up, and this son of the victim goes to look, there is nothing in that place, he begins to try to say that it is you, but the lagoon makes him guilty, but... count money to bribe local police officers. thus, the swindler defrauded the victims of another considerable amount. by the way,

lagun had plenty of ways to scam people out of money besides the diamond business. in one case, simply ask for help there for housing construction, for help help a sick child to have an operation, but borrow money for the purchase.

and it was not the police, in all cases, after the diamond deal fell through, lagoon told his partners that they themselves were to blame for everything, they say they themselves decided to hide the stone, but he does not refuse his promises, there will be money, come, let's try to turn the scheme over again, thereby he not only did not admit it. his guilt, but also did everything to avoid being classified under the article “fraud”. well, it's basically a scam... this is a rather multifaceted crime, if i may say so, uh, article 209 of the criminal

code, we can probably develop some general approaches, or the main areas of fraud. uh, probably one of the things our citizens face most is this everyday thing. fraud, precisely where, in reality, he may believe that he will be able to repay the debt, although in principle he has no intention of doing this in advance, he will be able to provide some kind of service for which he takes money, or perform some kind of work. no matter how much balagun threw dust into the eyes of his victims, this could not continue forever. as a result, the episode with his partner’s son became one of his last. people wrote a statement to the police by the time the criminal case was initiated, the materials were replenished with several more episodes. a criminal case was initiated by the prosecutor general's office and the main

department was transferred, that is, the proceedings were taken over by me. "besides his business. in addition to professional productions and performances, the man did everything to cover his tracks, but this is not stopped the progress of the investigation, although the defendant worked in an extraordinary way, he was far from the first major fraudster in belarus. this case was not particularly difficult, all that remained was how to bring it together, that is , to establish those sheets to which he owed,

well, a large number of people were interrogated who "should, well, in reality , owed a lot there from 100 dollars for 300, but some simply did not say that this was, as it were , a completely illegal action in a relationship, that is, just someone they knew, there were even some classmates, that is, he, well , he seemed to remember everything, that is, he had a large number there, the lagoon was detained by soldiers of the special forces of the ministry of internal affairs, but despite this he behaved very calmly and even fell asleep during the first interrogations, at first he did not testify ... gave, over time, when the suspect realized that he would not get away with it, he still cooperated with the investigation, but exclusively for his own benefit, lagoon presented all the facts in a favorable light for himself, saying that there really is a business, but because sets by chance, none of the partners managed to make money on him, some of the victims believed in this, even after the arrest of the defendant, they believed that he was simply

unlucky, they asked him to...

and really look at the thought, which, i repeat, is a creative thought, which, unfortunately, is typical for criminals. the psychology of scammers is indeed very interesting; often, while convincing victims of their success, they themselves plunge into this illusory world. this is what happened with lagoon. until the very end, he convinced the investigators that he he has a diamond business, and over time he

will pay everyone off. law enforcement system, well, that level, probably, here we can express it is not that trust in him, in his position, in the testimony of such scammers, that’s what initially such a fact is, not that it is poorly verifiable, but it also makes no sense in verifying such . in total , 15 victims were involved in the lagun case, and 12 of them planned to make money on diamonds,

two more episodes fell through, one because... relatives of the potential victim intervened, the second because lagun was detained. but investigators believe that there may be many more victims, it’s just that some of them do not disclose their cooperation with the diamond industry.

property, cars, the lion's share of his earnings lagoon invested in an agricultural estate in the dyatlovsky district, he brought there potential victims, as it were, demonstrated that he was a wealthy businessman, that everything was fine with him, he was ready to build a house there, probably a floor there were three, the pool seemed to be measured, that is, those instrument techniques seemed to be very much, despite a lot of work done by the investigators, to answer everything...

how he was detained. after another conversation with the investigator, he wrote a letter to the leadership of the investigative committee with a proposal to nominate the investigator to the next rank. it just so happened that it was at that moment that dmitry goncharik received the shoulder straps of a lieutenant colonel. lagoon learned about this from the official response and gave the investigator a promotion, solely for his own merit. my boss is leaving. there is an appeal, this is a letter that your appeal has been considered, and a lieutenant colonel sent goncharik a notice, he’s in a pre-trial detention center, in a pre-trial detention center, when he read it out in the cell, everyone just stood up, everyone in the cell later, as if they were saying that well, you have the authority, by this time andrei lagun

had already served most of his sentence , the man responded to our offer to record an interview with a categorical refusal, apparently, unnecessary pr for this creative person. to no avail, but we still show his face so that people whom he suddenly invites to go to the field of miracles to bury diamonds they thought that they would most likely end up in the land of fools.
