of hectares of coniferous forest in many regions of russia before the start of the spring thaw businessman they are in a hurry to remove the wood, and not always legally. in the ivanovo region, for example, timber trucks travel in lines together with employees of the regional department of the ministry of internal affairs, we decided to find out how the fight against black loggers is going, and what new blow are state duma deputies preparing to strike against the thieves of natural resources? report by andrey romanov. in the deep forests of the ivanovo region , the singing of birds is inaudible. the birds are frightened by the roar of chainsaws. it comes right away. from several sides, the harvesting and removal of round timber is in full swing in the lands, we are heading in the footsteps of the timber truck. we we reached the edge of delyana, here quite recently, a few days ago , coniferous timber was being harvested, now everything has been cut down to the roots, and the wood miners are working a little further. lumberjacks warm themselves by the fire, burning the tops of fallen trees.

chainsaw ax masters claim that they work legally. you steal two trees, and pay 1.150. as if he’s already a knifeman or they’ll let him sit for two years, but for black lumberjacks the point is in huge earnings, for one outing they can pocket up to 200,000 rubles. poachers are not afraid of huge fines and the prospect of being behind bars, they learned to hide from the security forces in the thicket of the forest, to saw and remove the wood unnoticed. black loggers usually choose for their activities the most remote and inaccessible areas of the forest. now we are heading to... first a field, and then another through the forest. half an hour later, our film crew found themselves in a plot of land that had been mercilessly exploited by poachers some time ago. these are the consequences of the work of black lumberjacks, the entire forest is left in bald patches

, only these thin young trees remain, all trunks that reached a diameter of 80 were exported and then sold on the black market. they were mercilessly bulged here by centimeters; it took several months for the employees of the department of economic security and anti-corruption of the russian ministry of internal affairs for the ivanovo region to develop this gang. they had a very stable , organized, structured group, everyone in this group had a specific role, someone condemned the separation of the trunk from the stump, someone did the skidding, someone did the measurements, someone did the observational approaches. police, fsb and russian guard. in operational footage, armed soldiers silently sneak through the forest, approach black lumberjacks and closely detain illegal immigrants at

the moment when they are cutting down another tree. and here is a warehouse of equipment that was seized from another gang of alleged natural resource thieves. tractors, snowmobiles and timber trucks are buried in snowdrifts. it was perhaps one of the largest groups in the region. together with fsb officers they took almost 30 people at once, now they are in the dock for posting materials from this the criminal case required a separate room, court workers stitched the volumes together using special tools and wood products, clearly obtained legally. after such large-scale plantings are in the dock, loggers in the ivanovo region break the law much less often. together with the police we went to check.

dozens of legal timber trucks during a raid with our film crew, traffic police officers did not identify illegally obtained timber in the stream of trucks with round timber. in 2023, to

responsibility, to administrative about seven dozen persons were brought to justice for violating forest legislation, and as a result of the measures taken, the number of illegal logging in the ivanovo region in 2023 decreased by 20%. black lumberjacks have significantly curbed their appetites in many regions of the country. including thanks to the work of our colleagues from eduard petrov’s investigation program, they devoted several films to this problem, talking about timber smuggling from the leningrad region and karelia to finland, the rampant timber poachers in the far east in the krasnoyarsk territory, irkutsk and omsk regions, in illegal logging in the regions of the central federal district. according to the documents there are 16 cubic meters, but in reality you can see by eye that there are more. over a decade of work, it was possible to achieve a significant tightening of legislation. in the forestry sector, now the moment has come when the state duma started talking about total digitalization of the industry. it is proposed to introduce electronic accompanying documents for each batch

of goods, as well as to establish a ban on being in forests with machinery and equipment on felling and transportation of forests. the new bill will allow the confiscation of equipment from those who are caught in the forest on logging trucks with chainsaws, even without mining. the document has already been adopted in the first reading, as they say. the authors of the initiative, the law will deprive black loggers of even the mythical chances of making illegal money. andrey romanov, viktor barmin, vadim kolevanov, gennady mikheychev, conduct the duty department. the first footage has emerged from the scene of a double murder in dagestan, where the son of a former prosecutor and his lawyer were shot dead. this happened in a parking lot near nogaisky district court. it can be seen that the fence is riddled with bullets. let me remind you that the day before the court handed down an unexpectedly lenient sentence to the son of the former prosecutor of kizlyar vladimir grigoryants for the fact that we. death hit a fourteen-year -old schoolboy on a moped, the young man received only a year and a half of restriction of freedom, the father of the deceased child was very angry and after the meeting he shot

the culprit of the accident and his lawyer sergei osipov with a pistol, and also wounded several other people. employees of the investigative committee opened a criminal case. one of the most discussed the news of the week came from the krasnodar region, where the court allowed the release of criminal authority zakhary kalashov. the so-called thief in law was famous. under the nickname shakro, the young man had power over many bandits. in 2018, he received a sentence for extortion and an attempt to bribe high-ranking generals, but could be released from custody as early as this month. the reason is a sharp deterioration in health. shakro, the young will come out old. he will turn 71 on march 20. will he return to his old ways? together with experts i tried figure out. fedor eliseev. rodochdelskaya street. the elements restaurant was once located here. a loud shootout took place near it in december 2015. after which

high-ranking employees of the investigative committee and the king of the criminal world zakhary kalashov, better known as shakro the young, were behind bars, here is a new, high-profile event, a once influential criminal authority is released from prison. the decision on parole was made by the ustlabinsky district court of the krasnodar territory, to which territorially includes the correctional institution where zakhary kalashov served his sentence in recent years. he got there for trying to bribe high-ranking officials. general, for a million dollars, kalashov asked for the release of his chief assistant, andrei kochuykov, known in the criminal world as an italian. it was he, along with his accomplices, who came to the capital’s elite restaurant on rochdelskaya and demanded 8 million rubles from the owner. she turned to former kgb officer, lawyer eduard budantsev, for help. as a result the armed conflict killed two people and nine more were wounded. the young shakro himself was not there; he was detained later, when

the special services traced everything. the former head of the internal security department of the investigative committee of russia, mikhail maksimenko and his deputy alexander lomonov, as well as the head of the capital's main headquarters of the investigative committee, alexander dremanov and his deputy denis nikandrov, were all fired and punished. zakhary kalashov is an odious personality; he began his path to the criminal olympus back in the early seventies in georgia, in nineties, already being. in moscow he survived more than a dozen assassination attempts, and here he became one of the most authoritative leaders of criminals, and in 2003 he moved to sunny spain. in those years, this european country sheltered many representatives of the russian criminal world, and shakro began to actively launder illegal income there, but despite the replenishment of the local treasury, the spanish government announced a hunt for members of russian gangs. shakro the young also did not escape this fate; he received 9 years in prison. having served the required

term, shakro the young was deported to russia, after the murder of the crime boss aslan usayan, it was he who became the leader of the underworld, soon kalashov was detained on charges of extortion after a shootout on rochidelskaya street, he was in a country mansion with a picturesque garden, in the very house of the king of thieves there was a royal interior, furniture in gilded monograms , a luxurious grand piano, for one owner, two swimming pools, a gym to maintain your health, a bar with a collection. premium brands of drinks, possibly for important negotiations. in the building behind me according to some media reports, the headquarters of zakhary kalashov was located there; it used to house a casino; the golden palace itself has not changed during this time, but now there is a theater here. the king of the underworld was sentenced to nine years, eight months in prison. the young shakru was supposed to be released only in 2028, but he somehow managed to pity the court. according to the publication

, seventy-year-old zakhary is a businessman. the request for conditional early release due to serious health problems was allegedly submitted by the colony administration itself. consistent, principled, strictly speaking, in no way knowing pity. it was in this way that he was able to earn himself indisputable authority. many are now asking the question: has kalashov lost his influence? some experts believe that the young shakro is a representative of the old crime that is fading into oblivion. school, i think that he has not lost him in his clan, perhaps in his clan he will maintain his authority, but i repeat that today these old thieves clans are becoming a thing of the past, they are simply losing their basis of existence, their economic base, and i think that his influence is of course exaggerated, some former security officials believe that shakro is young, even if he is no longer young, but the department still will not leave, although on the other hand

a person with such...
