the bloody gang, whose members are known as the saranskys, appeared in the bryansk region in the late nineties. its founders, brothers gennady and vladimir kulaev, came from the capital of mordovia, saransk. having lost their former criminal influence in their native region, they moved to the bryansk region, where they met an authoritative businessman, vitaly kiriyenko.

in many regions of russia , police officers have their own reference book - the story of the difficult work of their fellow countrymen, veterans of the internal affairs agencies, about people who performed feats every day and even thought about it, because the most important thing for them is the peace and safety of citizens.

the operatives of the bryansk region and the republic of mordovia also have such a book. here it is. it is called the sixth section: the fight against organized crime. its author is sergei dolzhenko, the chronicler of the mordovian department for the fight against organized crime. chapter number six. the birth of the octopus. here we are talking about.

criminal groups: mironovtsy, kopeevtsy, kulaevtsy and vitanovtsy, the top. the mironovtsy, who split into three groups, after their arrest leader sergei mironov, killed each other and ceased to exist as an independent criminal structure. the leader of the kopeevites , mikhail kopeikin, lost his fighters, becoming a drug addict, and then sat down on...

we are talking about gennady kulaev, who in... together with his brother vladimir and nephew anatoly, they were forced to flee to bryansk. there they met a former employee of the ministry of internal affairs, an authoritative person in the region, vitaly kiriyenko. since then, their interests have been closely intertwined, the tentacles of the criminal saransk octopus gradually entangled border region, murder, extortion, robbery, carjacking, these raiders did not disdain anything

and were elusive until a certain time. the first time the former policewoman got into the crimes of past years, the involvement of vitaly kiriyenko and his saransk colleagues was established,

a resident of bryansk oleg guna sorts through old photographs of the family album slightly. the cards yellowed with time take us back to the days when the hero of these shots himself had barely turned 18, here he is, a stately cadet of the ryazan airborne school, this is a military oath, this is my mother and antsanich who came to me in the city of ryazan to the military school, here we are together, here i took the military oath, well here it is the same, this is...

that he was constantly in the hall of the house, always had an open notebook, glasses, always some notes, he received calls, he called someone, he was always responsive, he could , probably, even if someone had some problems, he could always get up at night, go, let's say, to help, for me... this is a man, well with a capital letter, a real man. alexander ishchenko was trusted, probably, it was because of his impeccable reputation that the people's representatives appointed him to the post of director of the central market of bryansk. the local flea market had completely stopped

paying contributions to the city budget and it was necessary to urgently restore order there. i had just come home from work. on september 24 , 2005, aleksandr ishchenko, as usual , stayed late at work, left before dawn and headed home. at that moment , an unknown person ran up to him and shot him in the back with a pistol.

the operatives were unsuccessful. the killer left no evidence at the scene. but despite the wide resonance, after some time the case of the murder of alexander ishchenko unexpectedly died down. the police were not informed about the investigation, and the local press was silent. they returned to the investigation of the murder of the city council deputy and director of the central market of bryansk alexander ishchenko only in 2021. employees of the main directorate of forensics of the investigative committee of russia and operatives

of the main directorate of criminal investigation of the ministry of internal affairs of russia studied the materials of old criminal cases for a long time, which, it would seem, would never be solved. it began to arrive operational information from mordovia on the activities of individual groups. the murder of a young man there came to our attention. we started working on this case, and accordingly we found out that this murder was committed in the kulaevsky groups. the operational information was that this group, in addition to mordovia, also operated in other regions, such as bryansk. let's turn to the book the sixth department, the fight against organized crime, which tells in detail about the bandits from saransk. vladimir kulaev was forced to move to

bryansk to his brother, together with them the backbone of his office left, there under the name saransk, they became one of the most formidable organized crime groups. the leader of the group, gennady kulaev began to cohabit with the sister of police captain vitaly kiriyenko, known in the criminal world under the nickname kirya. through him, the saransk brotherhood received orders for debt collection, car thefts, robberies, murders. in 2008, kirya had the intention of dealing with the vice-governor of the bryansk region, alexander kasatsky. on august 11, 2008 , a member of the saransk group, alexander kanaev attacked the official in the entrance of his house and stabbed him in the stomach. doctors saved kosatsky's life, only after that did mass arrests of the kulaevskys begin. the most hardened bandits received

money, vehicles, communications, a large number of weapons, and initially they continued to do what they were used to, these were avtougans, but they were not created for this, they were created to attack citizens, they were created to participate in criminal showdowns, they were created, as i already said, to intimidate the elimination opponents, competitors of kiriyenko.

the foremen of the so-called power bloc, gennady and

vladimir kulayev, reported directly to them, and to them in turn, detachments of armed fighters, among whom the kulayevs' nephew, anatoly, and the killer evgeny kitaykin stood out, vitaly kiriyenko's orders were also unquestioningly carried out by his deputy, who was responsible for car thefts, yuri maslov. everything indicated that these individuals were interconnected, and not only interconnected, but the style of the crime indicated a serial nature of the data,

he understood that all this could be realized through them, he did not wait for the money, that's when he realized that he had been deceived, he began to make claims, as if kiriyenko had already come to leave, accordingly kiriyenko gave instructions to his people not to let him into the large establishment there and generally lose him, the saransk guys drove up to valery yudin's house and waited for the businessman to come out into the street, they fired the entire clip from... even 22 years after the assassination attempt , he still fears for his life and asks not to show his face. here it is, here it is, here the field hit here, here it is. how many bullets

did you get in total? eight and one more in the head. eight together with this one, i think he missed one, with nine he missed one field, how did you even manage to survive after that? well, god helped, there is no other, there is no other word, here the arm is shot, here it is through the shoulder, well, here the spine, yeah, car thefts in the border region... brought the saransk people fabulous profits in the underground workshop , the work did not stop day or night. the specialists interrupted the identification numbers, because the cars were stolen, they were so masterfully punched that it was impossible to distinguish the changed identification number from the factory one, that 's after which the cars

were prepared for these cars, these cars were sold to citizens, the participants themselves drove such cars, in addition, they were used to commit crimes. the bandits spent the money they received in their own restaurant, the royal casino, located in the very center of bryansk. there were never any checks here, all because, that former policeman kiriyenko often organized banquets for high-ranking law enforcement officers at the establishment's expense. no one guessed that the basement of the saransk casino was used to intimidate local businessmen.

the group members would take a person, bring him to the basement, at that time there was no refrigerator, there was a chair, where the group members would either chain or tape the businessman to the trunk, after which they would tell him the conditions under which he had to pay money. having accumulated enough strength funds, saransky decided to take over the central market of bryansk. and everything was going well until the well-known deputy alexander ishchenko was appointed director. one of the meeting places of our members of this gang

was the orange cafe. market and reported them to kitaykin by radio. the armed kitaykin, being in the yard, looked out from behind the fence and fired one shot into ishchenko's back, after which he fled

the scene of the crime. ishchenko, having been wounded in the back, continued to run towards his house. here, but running across the road, in connection with he fell down, bleeding profusely, and died on the roadway. the next victim of the saranskikhs was the manager of a local bank, gennady fokin, and here's the thing: vitaly kiriyenko controlled the oldest enterprise in the region, the zhukovsky bicycle and motorcycle plant. in the mid-2000s , production was falling apart, and there was nothing to pay rent and salaries to employees. then the plant's management turned to him. the amount, both for 2005 and today, was huge, however,

the saransk people were in no hurry to pay it, and fokin demanded that the entire amount be paid as soon as possible, liked that he demands the return of the loan funds, and he did it legally. in the city of dyadkovo near his place of residence, they attacked negolayev anatoly, striking him with metal in the head. gennady fokin's skull was fractured, the man spent several months in the hospital. everyone was shocked, exclusively because of the attacks, the reasons for the attack on the manager. even there they could not imagine. igor ermoolin was a colleague of gennady fokin at that time. according to him, the criminals knew very well, the manager cannot

influence the bank's decision, but out of principle they decided to get even with fokin. an attack or elimination of the manager there, it simply will not lead to anything, in such a situation to make a decision, to harm there or eliminate. the manager can, well , a person who has either limited or primitive thinking, yes, but either it is just, as people say, out of lawlessness, well, because that's how i want, it is worth noting, saransky anatoly kulaev, the nephew of the kulaev brothers, was detained for the attack on fokin, but not for long, thanks to vitaly kiriyenko's connections, he was found a few days later. at large, in fact, then the local prosecutor's office and the bryansk police looked helpless, they could not, and perhaps did not want to, unravel

the bloody tangle of crimes. the saransk family felt like the real masters of the city, and the residents of bryansk were sure that the law enforcement officers had long been in close, friendly relations with the authoritative representatives of the criminal world. and this was partly true, the episode with the murder of a member of the of his own group sergei znatkov in 2007, the man stole a new ten, belonging to the head of the drug control department of the bryansk region. the operatives began to look for it and turned to saransk. the snatkovs decided to teach him a lesson. the unfortunate man was taken to the forest, hit to death, and then. in the same 2007, the saransk decided to legalize themselves and enter

the political elite of bryansk. vitaly kirienko was elected as a deputy to the city council, but the unsuccessful attack on vice governor alexander kasatsky, which we talked about earlier, ruined the saransk plans.

it seemed that by 2019, saransk had been completely defeated, someone was killed, some, including vladimir kulaev , were still serving time in the colony, vitaly kiriyenko was released, the rest lived quietly and kept a low profile, and were probably confident that they would not have to answer for old sins if the region had not been attacked.
