the founders of the russian foundation for the disabled of the war in afghanistan, he first appeared within the framework of our organization. e, as a structural unit, but when they realized that some kind of economic activity could be obtained through this fund, it was registered in the fund and moved away from the russian union and became independent; the background received solid customs benefits; duties on imported goods were minimal. soon , commercial enterprises that worked with a public organization began to import alcohol, cigarettes, vcrs to the union refrigerators and televisions. pay a penny assembly for such privileges businessmen. a certain percentage was allocated to the fund, the money was supposed to go to help in the rehabilitation of the veterans of the afghan war.

and under their guides there are markets and customs and warehouses, and in general, what just didn’t happen, and in general , uh , uh, well, so patriotic, if you like, there is something sacred for people who went through afghanistan. commercial enterprise. so in moscow , near the kuzminki metro station, an afghan market appeared. bandits traded clothes, food, toys here, they rarely appeared here, they understood that veterans and afghans would give a serious rebuff. the afghan market is one of the largest enterprises on the territory of the southeastern district of our organization, and vladimir kostyuchenko recalls those times

, the legendary helicopter pilot among veterans went through the entire afghan war. he had more than one and a half thousand sorties on fire, postechenko succeeded in shooting down twice to survive in the nineties, this afghan market, someone covered it, we decided so that we could ensure security on a monthly basis. we had 200,000 dollars. we received 200,000 dollars from this territory. yes, they were somehow spent, after all, someone, probably, had bad money in their pocket, no one in their pocket , it was purely our afghan money. good deeds are worth a lot for our organization, and i am pleased that we and the memorial complex. here they made a recently deceased helicopter pilot and we are remembered in the fleet, where we imported money and they remember in the fifty-first regiment of the tula division when we took money from these , in what the organs were laid out in an envelope, when the officer did not receive money, in general for months and

children, he had nothing to bring directly in envelopes handed to the entire regiment. mikhail likhadia, in whose hands was the cashier with easy money from businessmen and state budget funds, envious people appear, or rather, the main envious person is another leader of the lutheran movement. valery rachikov, active servicemen colonel, he used authority among comrades-in- arms in afghanistan fighters. he was blown up on an amine, lost both legs and, having healed on prostheses , returned to the front line with a weapon in his hands. ranchikov was an amazing man, he was a hero, he was previously brought up on soviet ideas about the heroism of boys very well , he read the train of a real man

; he is the truth . he returned to the front, returned the second part, he got on the combat vehicle infantry he could manage. this is an infantry fighting vehicle with its prostheses, and it fought caravans. this is subversive work. this is liquidation. uh, the ringleaders of the bank are forming large warehouses behind enemy lines. this is a serious military work of the afghan epic , soviet geologists tried in every possible way to make valery raichikov the second mary strength, as you know, legen. the gift pilot of the great patriotic war also lost his legs, but did not give up and returned to the construction site again. in 1989 , at the central studio of documentary films , a tape of one life dedicated to fate was shot

combat officer rachikov so, i was walking ahead. the soldiers were a little higher behind, and they were the first to warn me that stretch marks. when i realized my head, i saw the stretch marks stopped in the sun. fell. the only thing i had time to swear in the air, because it was so unexpected and incomprehensible, what happened, i immediately realized that i was waiting for me to rapidly increase my influence. he became the head of the russian fund for the invalids of the war in afghanistan, pushing aside the organization's cash flows to an officer, they gave an apartment in the center of moscow in

the house where the famous marshal dmitry lived, but soon his financial activities began to be suspected of money laundering and embezzlement at that moment, he turned into an impeccable person, to whom power and money became the most valuable valery sullied the honor of an officer, mired in criminal financial transactions. according to the customs service , after the investigation we received. it was about 2.5 billion rubles in today's money. they received a lot of money for such an amount, you can buy not 20 not 50 wheelchairs and not make 100 prostheses there for such an amount it was possible to give every disabled person a very

serious topic, sometimes very serious support. after the financial frauds were revealed in the public organization of the radchikov, the hero of the afghan war lost the post of chairman of the fund. he held a grudge instead of rachikov's chair of the head of the organization was occupied by the same mikhail lydey, a former friend, and now a rival , from that moment a war broke out between them. there was a split in the organization of fighters and his supporters refused to voluntarily resign and, in retaliation, a new team was created fund clone. with the same name, but with a different bank account. now valery rachikov and mikhail likhogey fought only for financial flows, with the difference that the hero of the afghan war, the current officer of the warriors, thought

only of himself and put the fund's money in his pocket. and mikhail likhodey continued to financially help the disabled afghans, the latter's activities aroused great respect among his colleagues. you see, he did a lot. uh, when he was the chairman, there was, well, an abandoned house completed on nut drive, building 11. there almost 300 people received apartments at the opening of the house, russian president yeltsin boris nikolayevich lenergo luzhkov came here, this is our afghan house misha organized the receipt of a garden plot in the stupino district, 120 houses were built there and all these 120 houses performed the duties of the head of a public organization for free, the head of another fund, afghans, valery rachikov came to more attention of law enforcement agencies,

tax crimes were revealed, many violations were found, the main of which was the withdrawal a significant part and profits in commercial structures in just a year public organizations of afghans. she collected hundreds of millions of us dollars on customs benefits, only 10% of this amount was spent on the needs of the disabled, and most of the currency, according to the prosecutor general's office, was taken abroad through one-day companies, the former minister of the ministry of internal affairs of russia anatoly kulikov remembers the figures of that loud criminal case and claims that his document can be trusted. i, uh, have a figure that he got funding for a disability relief program. afghans for the amount. 4 billion dollars, but he did not

present any reports of spending money by the ratchik involved in financial fraud, the clouds began to thicken, the security forces seriously took up his public organization, a former soldier. the afghan rachikov considered that the head of another fund for disabled afghans, mikhail likhodei, was directly related to his troubles. in the nineties, a difficult criminal situation developed in the country on the streets of cities, every now and then shots rang out and explosions killed bandits and businessmen. siloviki, politicians on november 10, 1994, hired killers dealt with the chairman of the russian foundation for the disabled of the war in afghanistan, mikhail likhov, the head of the public organization his bodyguard, died from the explosion of a radio-controlled bomb. in the elevator together

something was done, bookmark. at first he was beaten there, well, again, a little imagine in the end . many guessed who benefited from the death of mikhail likhodey, they said that the head of another organization of the disabled, the afghans, valery rachikov, could be involved in this crime, but there is no evidence of him there was no guilt, and the hero himself, the afghan war, the acting officer of the warriors, was able to somehow convince everyone of his innocence. he refused to say, but not

caught and so on. he proved to me, he said, yes, what are you? well, why should i? well, this will immediately think of me, you know , it should be noted that in those years the investigation went out of hand. it's bad to find it. in hot pursuit of the criminals involved in the murder of mikhail, it was not possible, and most importantly. they did not find a customer for the liquidation of the head of a public organization. his work was continued by a fellow veteran, afghan sergei trokhinov. he was a trochivo soldier , he didn’t have such authority as the lihodey and the hawker dax had. and this really trahirs became a new target for those who

dealt with the villain, but it was not important to kill only one trochivy, it was to achieve the liquidation of the entire fund and control the financial flows associated with disabled afghans. and for this it is necessary to remove all the friends and associates of mikhail at once. and such a time has come on november 10, 1996 , veterans of the afghan war came to the kotlyakovo cemetery to honor the memory

friend and comrade mikhail likhodey, the site near the grave was small, so the participants in the ceremony did not stay there for a long time, gave way to suitable afghans and wives and children next to the grave, they set up a memorial table for the leadership, a little further away for ordinary veterans, vodka, tears, black scarves, widows of officers who did not return from afghanistan, vladimir kostyuchenko recalls the events of that terrible day today is part of the leadership of the russian union of afghanistan veterans i walk from the union of veterans aggression, andrey anokhin anokhin yes, and he says, listen, volodya and where is the frenchman? i say it

won't. i've been with him for many years. so goodbye. i say, are you leaving somewhere? no, i have business there. there, just here i am, well, then, let's not talk to us there. you are the guide here. and we were privates there and left. that's where the letter t looked straight at me here . my driver has divisions of the group. let's move away, i'll show you our guy , our very kind legendary guy afghans. sergei

trokhinov, the new head of the fund, elena krasnoutskaya, the widow of mikhail likhode, died on the spot. journalists, heads of the regional branches of this public organization. kotlyakovka happened on november 10. police day, as a rule, in the evening on tv on this date a festive concert was shown. well, everything did not go according to plan, the then chairman of the government viktor chernobyltsev went live, today a tragedy occurred in moscow at the kotlyakovo cemetery, an explosion was programmed, 13 people died, they are in serious condition, considering that today is a holiday for us

, it is the day of the police. today i decided to give a festive concert on the first and second channels. in the meantime, police crews and ambulances were arriving to the south of the capital in the tsaritsyno region , and interior minister anatoly kulikov spoke from the tv screens, we will do everything to ensure that the scum are found and suffer a well-deserved punishment. one of the first

to arrive at the scene of the explosion was the then head of the moscow police, nikolai kulikov, the namesake of the minister. here are the shots general personally inspects the scene and listens to the reports of subordinates. passed this picture. it took a long time to figure it out. who did die, because no one knew who was standing there. it was then already difficult to find out all this, otherwise someone died, there was nothing left at all. immediately

after the explosion, several versions were put forward, four of which became the main ones. well , the first thing is that the crime is the first version of the crime organized by the radchik in order to eliminate the leaders. fonda, the second crime is organized by persons with whom the fund has developed a conflict relationship on the basis of financial activities, the third crime. done as a result of the struggle for the leadership of the fund, the fourth version of the crime, organized by criminal structures, was carried out in connection with entrepreneurial activity. foundation. an investigation began under suspicion immediately fell on the head of the russian fund for invalids of the war in afghanistan, valery ratchikov, a direct

competitor of the organization of the same name, created by mikhail likhodey, rachikov’s personal driver, afghan andrei anokhin, anokhin’s colleague michael is sour. we knew that they had their own showdowns there, they immediately raised it , they did it, and how it went. well, theoretically delay. they didn't have any problems. yes, they just got delayed. and for what for what? why do you need to first prove who committed, who blew up? it was hard to say, it was then that it took a very long time and the investigative operational path fell under suspicion. and those who did not come to the kotlyakovo cemetery on november 10 and remained alive were sent to the security forces. i had to talk with another leader of the afghan movements by franz klintsevich after the accomplished crime of almost all

prominent figures of the afghans. e. of course, we checked everyone. yes, including there were no criteria for him , and the afghan veterans themselves introduced their unofficial investigation. they had no doubt that the explosion was needed in order to deal with all the leadership of the competing fund and all the strings led to valery rachikov and his personal driver andrei anokhin. however, the afghan anokhin managed to convince his colleagues of his innocence, there were still questions to valery rachikov. when the explosion happened , the first thing he came to me with trembling lips, says franz - it's not me. i looked into his eyes and absolutely believed him. what is this. indeed, it was probably not him that the security forces continued to work. as a result, the hero,

an afghan, valery rachikov, nevertheless came under investigation on april 24, 1997. he was arrested for organizing an explosion at the kotlyakovo cemetery, of course, it was a shock. it is still not clear what was under it, how this money made them kill each other, someone else, maybe there was some kind of combination to cover these expenses. the collapse of the ussr

while rachikov was in jail, his personal driver. andrey anokhin came to the police and wrote a confession. he called himself the perpetrator of the explosion at the kotlyakovo cemetery , and our editorial office came across the same document anokhin tells how he met cancer, how he began working as a driver for him. and here is the most important quote. rakov, came up to me with a question about eliminating the troublesome, then anokhin did not refuse could. otherwise, valery rachikov threatened to kill his family. according to

andrey anokhin, this bloody crime was financed by its chief valery rachikov. he contributed $50,000 to the cause. anokhin realized that he could not cope alone and turned to his friend mikhail smur, who took an active part in preparing the explosion at the kotlyakovo cemetery. in the surrender to anokhin, a person close to rachkov describes in detail how the crime was being prepared. according to him, the boss gave him tnt checkers and a fuse; we quote a fragment of the surrender andrey anokhin on the evening of november 9th. i from murom planted explosives at a short distance from the grave, one end of the wire and connected the other end with a fuse to the receiver console, which we left in the bushes. at a distance of 40 meters. thanks to the testimony of adrianokhin , the investigation restored the full picture of that

terrible day on the remote control button, anohi pressed at the moment when all the afghans gathered at the grave of mikhail let's retreat to a safe distance. i found the button on the remote control, which was in the side pocket, the coat was heard explosion. after the explosion, i left the cemetery in deep repentance, ready to fully atone for the guilt, not only the personal driver of rachikov. andrey anokhin repented in saddin. his accomplice mikhail smurov also came to the police. he also created a crime, the confessions of anokhin and smurov became the basis of the criminal case.

the case of the explosion went on for 3 years, during which time the investigators learned all the details of the tragedy at the kotlyakovo cemetery. everything revolved around the big money of both funds, court hearings turned into a real spectacle the scene with the physiom was captured by the spectators of the cell with the defendants, many did not recognize the defendants.

they, too, leaned in, then let go of their beards, the meeting was held in the shift hall of the capital's pre-trial detention center, sailor's silence, such a strange election was dictated by several reasons, firstly, ratchikov anokhin and smurov were considered especially dangerous and inclined to run, and secondly , there was simply not enough space for witnesses, victims in the moscow district military court and there were more than a hundred journalists at the trial the criminal trinity was tried by the military, because valeria rakov was

acting employee of the ministry of defense the prosecution demanded for the head of the fund valery radchikov 12 for his personal driver andrey anokhin 15 for his accomplice mikhail murov, 10 years in prison. however, the evidence base turned out to be very weak .
