provincial ryazan in the power of an elephant has no conscience, his cruelty knew no bounds, kindly feared and mass executions with law enforcement for 15 minutes. i'm holding. i don’t know more yet, and the witnesses of the crime, those sentenced to death, one person tried to authorities in the entrance of the ntv department.

at the beginning of the nineties in russia, they usually speak of hungry, difficult, terrible years, but the period after the collapse of the soviet union is also a very free time . country. in the ninety-first year, next to the former ryazan plant, selmash opens the first private sauna in the city, in which reputable entrepreneurs in the company of young girls relax and discuss criminal cases . was in such a closed place. i did not even know its existence until the moment when

i came there, when we were invited there. i would be surprised that this is such a hotbed of culture. the lads are resting, in general, like a real kid 25 on november 1993, gennady filin had a concert in selmash at half past twelve, the group finished the first part of the program and was going to take a break, but suddenly people with weapons appeared in the hall fighting in the twilight. i turned over my right shoulder and in the twilight i saw the fire of an automatic barrel of water, but suddenly time stopped. i continue to play again, look around and see how the bass guitar slowly flies past my family, after a while i see how the bank guitarist also slows down. those who managed

to hide survived others were less fortunate. we began to help those who could be helped. we cut the guitar cords, pulled the arms and legs to somehow stop the bleeding. then cars arrived and began to help carry them. well, the picture was, of course, terrible . imagine when so many people were perforated in many places, that is , with a layer of blood, even the police officers who arrived at the scene. never before in ryazan has there been such a mass execution of people, especially in an entertainment establishment they say that the attack is the result of gang warfare, and the target, allegedly are representatives of a criminal

group under the leadership. the case of the execution in the club, selmash lies on the table to the investigator dmitry ploskin. for several years he has been dealing not only with the vitereza gang, but their main rivals , the so-called elephantine massacres , are undoubtedly the result of their conflict. it was prepared, of course, for as long as five submachine gunners worked there, one at the entrance, which means he shot. uh, there the second rapets guard shot at the foil, and 300 boys with polish self-collection. that's what went into the hall did not become without hall to shoot, however, most of the bullet wounds were in a nightclub by a certain ivanov, who was random and in connection with gangster groups not previously noticed, it seems that the killers were purposefully

looking for him, but why? only the leader of the elephant gang vyacheslav yermolov , nicknamed the elephant elephant, knew the answer to this question . vyacheslav ermolov moonlighted as a private driver, then got a job in an official taxi company, despite good earnings , the elephant wanted the power of a prosperous life, and in the early nineties he thought about creating his own criminal group; his appearance reminded me of a combine operator. here before here in the photos. here are the soviet ones. here is a man riding a combine. but with these ukrainian mustaches. here in the cap. that's exactly what it looked like. here and suddenly the combiner becomes. here's some kind of leader in command solves some issues. he was always with money. and here he is, when the wreckage came in restaurant, he ordered the first second third, and twice. and it was considered such a big

chic. he could immediately, that is, dine for 3 rubles. 3 rub. there was a lot of money. here, that is, he ordered the first two, the second, and two compotes. miraculously, the surviving recording of ntv exclusive vyacheslav yermolov at the wedding of his childhood friend and closest associate alexei kirillin. now let's see, together with just anyone, the big authority of the elephant stands out from the background of the rest of the mustache. cap, formal suit, lingual voice, the environment often notices yermolov's resemblance to the famous chansonnier mikhail krug at the ransom. brides, the elephant is also the main character, as if he had a holiday today. return the money. i am glad

business proposal for the police brotherhood , it is not known what methods they used there? your uncle lyosha is probably illegal. yermolov's criminal career was not started alone , initially at the head of the ryazan group was the driver of the local prosecutor nikolai maksimov, nicknamed. max the elephant was his friend and they met with their right hand several years ago while working in a taxi company and even then, like all drivers in those times cranked up muddy schemes. taxi was considered a good way to make money in soviet times, plus they also sold vodka, that is, in addition, they took it to the trunk at the trading ice. there were large non-tribal incomes in taxis, that is, a leftist kolym, as it

was called in soviet times, a good dowry. well , the illegal trade in a taxi didn’t bring in a lot of money max the elephant decided to create their own criminal gang and set themselves the ambitious task of making them pay tribute to all the merchants of the city and it’s almost for them succeeded guys we have garage workers we do not produce anything. we don't get what you need from us. here they are thrown off. hey, this group. she worked better in the tax office. that is , they even have grandmothers, well, they sell seeds on the street. uh, they were also in general, they paid tribute to them, we later found out, of course, maybe the crime was not, but in any case there were few such cases, who decided to contradict themselves with an aggressive bandit with

a two-meter leader at the head especially boldly and at first turned to law enforcement authorities, but they only shrugged their shoulders and advised to solve problems on their own. the victim came to the police even to the district prosecutor's office. what to do? here we are required. yes, that someone thought that someone would protect them, no one defended them without a protocol, as they say, you know what, if you want to stay alive, it's better to pay while you're there , we'll deal with your statements there. you will already be killed 10 times or your property will be burned there, etc. it turned out that the legislation is not ready for the fight. with such a volume of banditry, neither police officers not ready, especially in the nineties. there was a difficult economic situation, when the salary was not paid every month soon and individual complaints stopped, because with those who had been to the police at least once, and then

it became known to max or the elephant , they cruelly straightened all the time people walked around the city and saw, like like a soccer ball. yes, they came to the body to kick. and it turned out to be the head. here, in what in the center of literally the city. eh, this demonstrative, as they say, sawed off with a jigsaw. here was the information this was done by one, it was just from these guys that the gang hunted, not only racketeering the elephant launched a game in a thimble in the busy places of the city. why do you guys have a ball, in fact, it was a common guessing scam. where the ball is currently located is impossible, and the debt of the losers roses exponentially. when the thimble went, our valiant police did not know what

article it was not to bring. there weren’t any for thimbles, so again there’s nothing to say about crime, but what’s the crime i twist these pins. why put me in jail? that, of course, the police went, stopped, ran, caught, arranged. and for what, for what no reason for the flow of those wishing to grab luck by the tail did not stop, however , the elephant and max got tired of petty fraud very quickly. they decided to organize a financial pyramid in the city. the financial pyramid is a system for providing income to a member of the structure by attracting funds from new participants ; thus, the profit of the first investors is ensured by the funds of newcomers, who arrived in most cases, true the source of income of the company and hides instead of it is declared, fictitious in the nineties. there were several dozen financial pyramids in russia, the most famous of which was, mmm, sergey avrov, the priority

investment company of piku, headed by its director sergey knyazhesky, immediately loudly announced itself . the company's offices were located even in the sleeping areas of ryazan. pico could easily be brought even by pensioners. interest on deposits promised fantastic, but ordinary ryazan people in did not understand financial matters. they wanted to save the savings that inflation in those years ate up in a couple of months, but it soon became clear that citizens entrusted the money to scammers. excuse me, but from fikuyte here is no no no you made a mistake cash desk in another place. let's go spend, of course people

are already aged. yes, pensioners here believed in receiving large interest, because they were really the first who took the money there, for example, after 3 months, to receive interest. they got it because she had been there for, well, more than one year. here come the people received interest rejoiced or either they called and said. and why are you going to receive now after 3 months, you have to put six months. even through the trailer you won't get it. even more here people left. well, apparently, this is ours. such a russian feature, when you believe in good, after a few months , interest payments were suspended. the head of the peak, sergei knyazhsky, promised the investors that soon everything would be in order again, but he lied , there was no money on his shields, all the funds were taken by members of the slonovskaya organized criminal group and future financial pyramids. they were of little interest. but

what to do? look, there is no one at the address. the door is closed, when the debt to the depositors. having reached seventeen billion rubles, the elephant decided that it was time to wrap up the matter and instructed the killer to eliminate the leader, pico, along with his wife. uh, i entered the entrance, that is, the entrance was dark, here is the elevator, uh, in this house there was and uh, the criminal was standing, well , in the face, which in general, he fought off, he stood in the shade and when the elevator door opened, that is, it illuminated those who had defended the snow and his spouses the man came up and shot him in the head. that is, to immediately do this death for several years law enforcement agencies. the murderers could not come to light, the assumption that members of the slonovskaya group were involved in the crime, of course, but the specific person

was so established that the wife of the prince could not help, she saw the attacker. just a couple of seconds and then investigator plotkin, who had been involved in the crimes of the elephant gang for many years, decided to involve a hypnotist in the investigation. december 1994 and investigative experiment number 13 , the specialist had to put the wife of the prince into a trance, so that the woman could identify the killer from the photograph. she calmly considers when she has reached. yes, she saw killer in the dark light. there, more doors opened. there everything in the dark was there completely was. she screamed and threw photos at our feet. that's when we realized with whom we should work in what direction to go? it was enough.

the development of a person begins, whom the prince's wife pointed out under hypnosis, but the search and the arrest of the perpetrators dragged on for several years. slonovsky in those years feel very comfortable in ryazan, all businessmen pay. those who dare to object very quickly disappear without a trace of a criminal group, even gypsies who sell drugs obey, as it turned out, the elephant and his accomplices can be convincing when necessary. hani also took a pose. that let's not pay feathers did not pay tribute well then, to live to visit a group of elephants. i broke into the house of the gypsies, the names were an axe. generally greek

they will pay tribute to the gypsies on the agenda of the elephant gang no longer worth the bandits decide to engage in another fashionable financial scam while forging bank documents or an advice note. if you have performed some work, the corresponding e-visa will be issued to you in order to perform these works in accordance with which the money is credited to the account. that is, when you present these documents, then, uh, they are executed by the bank by crediting to your account the corresponding amount. then you are already on your own with this amount checking account. you can operate. as you deem it necessary to make non-cash payments, make cash withdrawals yourself.

well, that's it, this is a routine, so to speak, payment work, uh, but these are documents that uh are a kind of obligation of the bank. captivity with bank documents did not last long, very soon the banks introduced a number of special checks, thanks to which it was impossible to forge the stele's advice. however , due to a short period, the elephants managed to steal an impressive amount of money and replenish the gangster common fund soon arose. new problem. envious members of the organized criminal group appeared, the then few gangs of viktor airapetov, nicknamed veteransky, were extremely unhappy with the fact that a monopolist appeared on the criminal market. the ambitious leader of the group did not like that the main former taxi driver in the city was an elephant. this is a completely

different person. i would say this is a very cunning person, he is very ambitious, he is very prudent and at the same time very mean, and at the same time, he is a great specialist in intrigues. that is, it must be given credit, that is, a smart person. you see, ryazansky decides to take power into his own hands, he instructs his wards to bypass all the merchants in the city and announce that the owner has changed. however, the frightened business owners will insist that they are working with an elephant and categorically refuse double taxation, calling on collectors. denmark deal with each other in the end. vitya ryazansky does just that, he calls the elephant to the arrow. the elephant was more involved in volleyball, and he can rapet such an athlete boxer, yes, and

they went out to sort things out from the restaurant and the brothers came out. well, here, in general, he knocked out the elephant, and he fell. it was, in general, a humiliation, a humiliation, of the leader of the group, respectively, elephants. they decided to somehow take revenge a few days after the fight, armed people broke into the bathhouse, where the elephants were supposed to be in vitya ryazansky, and only later the leaders realized that there were no elephants among the dead . max is ordered to the ordinary fighters of the gang to keep an eye on vitya of ryazan and club, selmash slon sent his best killers to an important job, but i don’t teach one, none of them knew vitya ryazansky by sight only

from a photograph. in half-light of a night club, the attackers mistook a random visitor ivanov , a completely stranger, for their enemy. the killers unloaded a whole clip. he was so swarthy black, but the syrian coat and he, apparently, was confused with the hornet, and he was in a quilted jacket. that evening, he really was at the club, however, when the shooting began, he managed to hide, and then hide in front of his accomplices. he vowed to take revenge on the elephants in the near future and kept his word . once maximov comes to his mistress. to the wife of a friend who died a few years ago, vyacheslav volkov, near the entrance of his girlfriend, he notices

some drunken tramp in rags, as soon as max approaches the entrance, shots are heard, the homeless man turned out to be a killer. nikolai maksimov dies on the spot kills in the spring nikolai ivanovich, and you see, how the exchange took place, you see, he was very pleased that nikolai ivanovich was killed. he said the phrase everything is the one who organized, selmash did not live for six months. this phrase belongs to her about rapet after the murder of nikolai ivanovich maxim , having learned about the death of a friend, the elephant rages, he challenges . see ryazan. and in connection with this , he announces a set in the ranks of the grouping. at that time, the upg already had about a thousand people. however, war is a costly business in the first place, in terms of human resources, however from those wishing to become elephant fighters in ryazan have never been from battles, young people turned out to be attractive. and who is not very thoughtful,

which they had they ask. and the dough in the prominence of their leaders, as far as they were aware of them. well, look at the immediate supervisors, pride can no longer be accepted by the boys either. they walk around that guys. we can vouch for them, so they took the boys. slonovtsy always cared about the personnel issue, the gang supported regional orphanages, in which in the nineties reigned in complete decline, however, the situation in other regions of the country at that time was not much different. my comrade of will and fate suddenly became the vice-governor of one of the regions in the volga district, the federal vice-cooperator for social issues, and he did not talk with horror about the fact that they have 45 orphanages in the region and

literally every second orphanage is on the verge of survival. that is, the situation was really catastrophic. children fled not only from seven children fled from orphanages, therefore at the stations you could see children hanging out, begging, stealing, using all sorts of illegal substances. you just breathed glue and all sorts of rubbish formal members. organized crime groups financially supported shelters, but in fact , pupils of orphanages were recruiting teenagers even before they came of age. they started committing crimes. such children who are not arranged, and who do not use the help of parents or adults. they are always a delicacy object for the criminal gang. god can't use them anyone to commit a crime. we were faced with the fact that there were children who committed murder at the age of six 6 years of murder committed , you know vitya ryazansky decides to move to moscow for a while to get lost in

the capital, but the fighting, the rival group does not stop, he believes that his victory is not far off , it remained only to liquidate yermolov himself, then the slonovites could not imagine the next blow to them would happen very soon on the day of maximov's funeral, as soon as the coffin with the body of the deceased was delivered to the church, an explosion occurred. at a homemade bomb went off in the killer's hands. he did not manage to give him literally 100 meters to the ascension church behind me a device that still worked for him, something there is still a device, a mechanism that put him in some kind of action. some kind of alarm, which may be, there was some kind of car equipped or some other technique that carried out. uh, detonated the explosive device before the dummy passed and left it in the temple to detonate. the church was supposed to be

a twenty-five-year-old member of the viti group ryazansky sergey manikin. he was a promising young football player until the ninety -third year he played in the main team of the ryazan torpedo, but the sport in those years did not particularly flourish, and the young man was desperate. he wanted money, so he immediately agreed to a dangerous job, there was probably no doubt that he could do it with you today . stereotypes of behavior here , as they said then, the western way of life and beckoned. here the dummies were lured as a result of the explosion, the legs of the manikin were torn off, but the young man did not realize this and that was all. time tried to get up, the killer-loser died a few minutes before the arrival of the ambulance in the morning

they announced that the driver was such nonsense that happened. uh, let's go look at the organs. yes indeed. yes, indeed, he did not foretell anything. he was the same. there were 25 people on the team. he's one of twenty-five worse people when this happened. this served as a big serious example for everyone, probably not recognized at the time. what happened the lesson for everyone was big huge on the day the explosion happened another sad event. the fact is that the funeral of max was monitored by operational staff. they were in a car with fake random numbers, allegedly from the yaroslavl region, and at the slonovo group. just there were strained relations with organized crime groups from this

region, the ryazan people considered that the explosion was organized. it was they who immediately surrounded the car with operatives on their hands and pulled out a gun. and they tried to hide , lifted the car, this six and five, but will and the car could not rear-wheel drive because of this. they raised the bumper on the back. the car could not move out at that time, they started breaking and pounding their windows with a picket fence, and through the windows you pull out these operatives and beat them with stakes, and kicked and beat them, and so on. here one was even made disabled there, in my opinion, the kidney was beaten off, the radio was pulled out of the car, the weapon was taken away, and, in my opinion, several members of the gang condemned the certificate for this crime, but the slonovsky still felt privileged. they could afford to gather somewhere in the center of the city to completely block all traffic. and in general, so to say, imposingly strolling to show

their strength after the explosion at the funeral. maximov's elephant is preparing a retaliatory strike. he decides to enter from the same map as the veterizan one of the members of the group was instructed to kill the brother of the veterizan sergey, but an unexpected thing happened. the killer refused. pedants, in nature so correct, in nature and rebels fearless and cautious i can kill her man.

how old are you? you said in full strength, kid and difficult character, please, actually. hand with them always challenging, but never boring. new ntv series are not just serials the one who refused to obey the order of the elephant in the literal sense of the word was forced to dig his own grave, he begged for pity, but a former member of the gang. nobody

listened to live. he had only minutes left. in these groups, the table is such a tough law, if you were given a task not to fulfill, it was impossible for one who disagreed , the elephant always had 10 other killers who wanted to gain authority in the gang, brother. you see ryazansky was shot. he ran up and killed the brother of rapet, and in response, and rapet, which means ordered to also take revenge and decided first of all to kill this merchant, who handed over information, where he would meet, and the merchant had a five-year-old son and he got into the car, drove up to the house in the center, so that he could live in the neighboring house as the regional prosecutor and so on. i even saw killers here. there they were hanging out somewhere in the stairwell. what is he saying? i noticed that these guys, of course, looked. when i

drove up to her, the kommersant remained to shoot machine guns and, accordingly, the bullets hit both the merchants and the five-year-old child died both. contrary to the elephant's expectations, vitya ryazansky did not come to his brother's funeral. but a month later he tried to blow up a gathering, which was attended by the head of a rival gang. true, at the last moment ermolov did not come to meet him and the massacre was canceled, but for the elephant, the impending assassination attempt was the last straw, he ordered to be found and torn to pieces. after all, at ryazansky yermolov told us to go to moscow to look. he raised all his connections by talking to other factions. a few weeks later, through moscow thieves, in the law managed to find out where these ryazan the next day. we went to see him on december 19 , 1995. vitya ryazansky was going to a business meeting. he left

the entrance of his house in the moscow district of krylatskoye, got into the car and was about to drive onto the road. how did two cars block his way? several people quickly twisted the guards of vitya ryazansky, and he himself was taken away in an unknown direction some time later, the mutilated corpse of the main competitor of the elephant was found in lyubertsy near moscow. the language of law enforcement officials. vela, which could not be solved for a long time in the nineties, the number of such murders in only one police department could amount to tens and even hundreds; in very rare cases, such criminal cases can be solved much later, as a rule, as a result of investigating other crimes, especially many capercaillie were in criminal cases of various organized crime groups, where it is very difficult to establish a customer and perpetrators without testimonies. in those years, investigators already had powerful intelligence network in the ranks of the gang and knew

about the whereabouts of the elephant. it would seem that nothing prevented the arrest of the leader of the brutal ryazan gang, but the investigators faced serious problems. none of the victims agreed to testify against the bandits , a large number of entrepreneurs, taking into account , in principle, as they considered it for themselves and it was easier to pay than to contact the structures, people turned to us. as i understand it, those who had no way out at all, and they were in a state of, let's say, psychological shock poter began to deliver and most of the victims were simply afraid of a panic animal fear. we are talking about the testimony of a member of a group of bandits, that the three of them came to you and took money. you paid them to no one even was a businessman tried there. he says i'm stupid. we are shit. here are women there, one nevertheless admitted, - he said that she had. well, she's stupid. she confessed, and i'm not going to do anything, there was nothing and we became in a rush,

as they say themselves what to do? how to send a case to court and then law enforcement agencies decide to take a no precedent step. now we are dressing up our employees as an inveterate bandit. operatives create a fictitious gang , the task of police officers is to walk around the victims, take them out for a conversation and record testimony on a hidden video camera. well, they drove around these victims, behaved like bandits put on chains, respectively , they also spoke the rings in their language , made appointments for the bandits, chia had a roof at these shops, firms there, and so on. well, respectively, towards. we detained the bandit. and people, according to them to go was not and accordingly. well, they played a role. i say we were going somewhere in a certain place. already in the car they didn’t

play the role of who would be in charge there, who would not be in charge, then these supposedly new bandits would put on police uniforms, they would come to our investigation offices and at the same time would be invited. these are the victims with you. it’s coming at you, and you’re the whole gang sitting, and all there are lieutenants , captains, majors, and they, of course, fainted, he says, well, we turn on the audio recordings of the tax here is your conversation. here is the man who you said called nicknames names there names phones that he is now, it turns out that you are lying, you are not giving truthful evidence, thanks to a fictitious group, the police officers finally managed to initiate several cases and make the first arrests. at the same time , the operatives found out that the interests of the elephant group had long spread far beyond. ryazan, yermolov is doing business

with a group in togliatti that has interests in the car business of elephants. they not only claimed control over a large enterprise, but also engaged in ordinary banditry. there was a case when one military man, that means a young guy, accidentally hit a bandit's car there. well, he says, i'm all reimbursed, i wanted a new car, while you had money at home. they went to his house. he took out a wad of money, which he set aside and gave the amount that was discussed, but the less money she has. they took him to the forest. they took away his money and killed a man. to stop a crime related to the car business, ryazan italian operatives start working together and one from police officers. dmitry ogorodnikov receives a task to infiltrate

a togliatti operative into the elephant's gang. it succeeds as a result. his actions were arrested by several powerful members of the locomotive gang investigation of criminal activities. ogorodnikov was shot in the middle of the day on a busy street, the killers cut off the detective’s car and opened fire on it gardeners died before the arrival of the police, the car of the killers, later found burned in one of the garage

cooperatives, tolyatti years went by the crimes committed by the slonovites grew, it was not possible to arrest the leader, or at least those close to him, of course, there were criminal cases, but it was difficult to call it a major success, a victim was needed who would not be afraid to speak openly in court and such a case to the ryazan police officers. still, the ryazan kommersant khadzhiev introduced himself in 1996, who has been paying tribute to the elephant for many years and acts as an intermediary in an illegal deal for the sale of alcohol at the last moment, the buyer refuses the deal, believing that the price of the goods is too high guilty explosion, deals, slonovtsy, expose khadzhiev's businessmen. on the same day, he is kidnapped, and his relatives begin

to extort the amount of 20,000 dollars.
