a new investigation of eduard petrov in the case of yakov saturday. about 10 years ago, he led a gang of raiders that robbed banks, jewelry stores, and even a museum from which the famous stradivarius violin was taken. and now the criminal is back in the dock.

robbery to the sounds of stradivari. the masterly thief, repeat offender yakov saturday, spoke for the first time about his crimes. hello, eduard petrov is in the studio. in order to commit this crime, i needed one crowbar. there was no security around the perimeter yet. these were transported across all of moscow stradivarius violins, allegedly by steiner, i was walking through the store towards the lombard , people in camouflage fell on us, they went down fire hoses, 21 kg of gold, he was an ideologist, he was the brains of our team, i took a lot of examples from him, we came to take the bank, so we’ll stay alive, he was covered in blood, it’s simple. i couldn’t realize those plans,

otherwise, i couldn’t do anything, well , the far-reaching plans that i had, that’s how you’ve been doing things all your life, he couldn’t have it with me, an officer of the soviet army, an engineer, designer and clothing designer, here is an incomplete list of professions of jacob saturday, although he became famous. this is not at all what he calls saturday the first violin of the world of thieves, and for good reason, his list of thefts of the handwritten gospel of the 15th century, the first russian printed book by ivan fedorov, and rare stradivarius and steiner violins. and, according to investigators, saturday led a group that skillfully robbed banks in st. petersburg, which pushed yakov into saturday. on the criminal

path, how he prepared for his crimes and why the main plan of the raiders was not destined to come true, we took up this matter and conducted our investigation.

the salesman from the st. petersburg jewelry store on babushkina street was very lucky; in another moment the ceiling could have collapsed on the fragile woman, the light fixture on the electrical wiring, the drywall panel collapsed to the floor, and several men in balaclavas and white overalls descended from the gaping hole along the fire hoses, they grabbed the frantic saleswoman and dragged her away. it to the side, in

a matter of seconds a metal stairs, behind it, large bags fell from somewhere above. the robbers began to quickly grab everything they could get their hands on. 10 minutes it's all over. the raiders crawled back. these shots from a surveillance camera in the jewelry salon 585 became the first ever evidence in the case of the so-called gang of ninja turtles, and according to the investigation, they were led by the virtuoso recidivist yakov subbota,

who once bore the surname grigoriev. saturday is no longer young, but is still cheerful and energetic, the story of his life is similar to a dashingly twisted detective novel, where his childhood spent among the soviet elite, his youth abroad, and the rest of his life. behind bars, with rare breaks for freedom, he speaks briefly about himself, which means he is an officer of the soviet army, an engineer, a designer, a clothing designer, my mother is an academician, the author of the russian method

of designing fashionable clothes, russian know-how.

on may 23, 1996, a daring theft was committed from the russian national museum.

the place where the violins were under alarm. employees of the investigative team visited all the antique shops and talked. with famous collectors and speculators. the orientations were sent to border guards and customs officers. it was impossible to allow priceless instruments to end up abroad. but time passed and there were no leads. the criminals themselves got in touch and sent a letter. here is a fragment of it. dear sirs, you can return the violins to the museum. the requirements are simple: fulfill my conditions.

if a mistake is made on your part, a deal with you only because i sincerely want, i assure you, there will be no second chance, i’m going to let them stay in russia, they will bargain steel, they offered to buy the museum, offered to buy the museum, they... the operation to detain the attackers was carefully planned, they agreed with the bank about cash, prepared a place of exchange and, of course, an ambush, but the deal did not take place, the thieves suspected something was wrong and more connection didn't go out. the case of the theft of stradivarius and steiner violins has stalled.

on the night of september 23, 1996 due to. cases of storage of especially valuable publications of the state, public historical library, 296 rare copies were stolen, among them is the first book printed in russia by the apostle ivan fedorov and the handwritten gospel of the 15th century, then in the mid-nineties here... there was no security around the perimeter yet, so they cut through the mesh, and at night they entered

through this hole, went to the building, here are the outbuildings between the first and second floors, on the stairs, there is a window, through which they entered the room, walked through the corridors, bypassing the commandant’s office, where the guards were sitting, and went up to the fourth floor, where he planted rare books. was on the fifth floor having also bypassed the system for opening the door, sawing it open, they entered the rare book department. the operatives set up their networks in all second-hand bookstores in the capital and were not mistaken. soon a young man came to one of these shops and offered to buy a few from him. reputable books, after which he left the store in his own car.

the police followed him, when the unknown person turned into the courtyard on kutuvsky prospekt, he was detained. the dealer of stolen goods turned out to be a young man, yakov, with nothing remarkable surname grigoriev. he is the son of the dressmaker, who sewed the then popular favorite, alla pugacheva. graduate. suvorov, and then the military school named after the supreme council. once an employee of the ussr diplomatic mission in the united states of america. yakov said that there were several more stolen books in his apartment. a search was immediately carried out there, but nothing rare was found. someone took out all the loot before the investigators arrived. the man was taken for an investigative experiment. already at the library, the staff found out. detained cleaner yasha, who got a job with them just a week ago. i grabbed books

on guess, the first one i came across. the similarity of the crimes, the theft of violins and books, seemed obvious, but during interrogations yakov denied involvement in the theft of works by stradivarius and steiner. he did not mention the name of the counterfeiter. surprisingly, very soon an anonymous person called moore and reported. a certain parking lot, there supposedly a surprise was waiting for the detectives, and indeed, in the fenced area they found eight dark blue bags from... a stolen collection from the building historical library

, this is an apostle, two feelings, personally, the first is your... absolute defenselessness in front of such things, the second is such humiliation, because this, well, for me it’s like your own apartment being robbed. soon, investigators identified the counterfeiter yakov grigoriev, igor shaidurov. together they graduated from the supreme council military school. shaidurov was detained in sochi. he didn’t deny it and talked about the theft of books and where the violins were hidden. it turned out that ... the instruments were languishing in a tiny house on the border with abkhazia. passengers on the sochi-moscow flight who arrived last tuesday in vnukova hardly suspected that a dangerous criminal was flying on the plane, handcuffed to moore’s employee, and in a nondescript sports bag were two musical rarities worth half a million dollars. these violins were taken all over moscow,

so to speak, to specialists, which... this really confirmed that these were indeed violins, stradivarius jacob steiner. there was a small crack here, and this was the moment when they took it out. from the broken the glass got caught here on this part of the violin, here they scratched the varnish very badly, then from time to time, where it was stored there, i don’t know, here the adhesive came apart.

for stealing books and violins, yakov grigoriev went to a colony for 8 years, and his counterfeiter igor shaidurov - for seven. they were released on parole for good behavior. grigoriev is already free. unexpectedly for everyone, he changed his last name, from now on he began to be called yakov saturday. it would seem that it was time to start a new life from scratch, but that was not the case. saturday decided

to remain faithful to the thieves' business, while he lost interest in objects of art. now he... was only interested in money, using the first leaked electronic databases, and it was 2004, saturday found wealthy people in moscow and st. petersburg, among them were famous directors and directors of st. petersburg museums. yakov acted alone, did not pick locks, did not climb into windows, and with the help of a false mustache and a wig changed his appearance on saturday. then he knocked on the door of the apartment and introduced himself as a housing worker. he managed enter an apartment in which only women and children were present, threatening with electric shock, he locked them in the bathroom or toilet and took expensive, oversized items out of the apartment. saturday

got caught again, served time, went down the crooked path again, back to jail, served a sentence in prison. then saturday and kuligin put together a gang of ninja turtles, and the bandits decided to make money by robbing several st. petersburg banks and...

yakov saturday, leader, vitaly plugin, he is from a single-parent family, served in chechnya, was, as far as i remember, a sniper, and well and then the curve led him down a criminal path, and then...

they opened the vault, they fell from the ceiling on us , people in camouflage, they were saying something, something like they did with you, they all lay there, they laid them on the floor, in fact we lay there like that , not beaten, not mutilated. thank god, well, yes , there were no blows, i was walking through the store towards the pawnshop, well, with the products, and

when they fell from above behind me, they took me to the corners, put me on my haunches, they took the products and hands behind their backs and led them through the entire store to the far end of the store was laid on the floor, everything was very civilized, well, they bent it down so that it was not visible through the windows. a few months before the robbery, the thieves met a local alcoholic who lived just above the jewelry store, the man was treated to alcohol when the owner of the home passed out, the derps methodically made a hole in his floor, they went down there along the fire hoses, and accordingly went down inside right away, it was kuligin, it was melnik ruslan, it was naumetov. and it was comrade saturday, there they were, four of them, and baidyuk was in the apartment at that time, he lowered down

the retractable stairs for them so that they could carry bags of jewelry into this apartment and exit through the courtyard, well, through the front door, which means bazhenov at that time was already ready in the gazelle and was waiting for them to leave take away the trumpet workers...
