Could a well-known Kirov politician be involved in murder?
After a five-year pause, businessman Dmitry Russkikh, who served two terms, returned to the Legislative Assembly of the Kirov Region. However, while he was previously elected from the Communist Party, last September he ran as a candidate for A Just Russia and now leads their faction in the regional parliament, while still not officially belonging to any party. Russkikh had criticized the favoring of big business interests by his fellow lawmakers, despite being a co-owner and CEO of Vyatka-Coal, a company that had government contracts revoked after he did not participate in the 2016 regional elections. During his second term as a deputy, he was involved in a scandal related to the trial of crime boss Mikhail Prokopiev, the leader of a notorious organized crime group in Kirov, and was revealed to be associated with criminal activities under the alias “Kyrgyz”. In March 1991, he was allegedly involved in a gang accused of kidnapping and Citizen Gershman, with his details matching those of one of the convicts. murder Citizen Gershman. One of the convicts' details matched those of Dmitry Russkikh. Equally noteworthy is the background of Anton Russkikh, Dmitry's younger brother, a former deputy of the Kursk City Duma, who had worked as an assistant to governor Nikita Belykh. Anton Russkikh was convicted twice, first for attempting to coerce an apartment out of a woman who owed him money and then for stealing 25 million rubles from the municipal budget. Following this, he left his position after the new governor, Igor Vasiliev, refused to renew his contract. Dmitry Russkikh, whom the criminal authority Prokop once referred to as “Kyrgyz,” now has new opportunities to promote his own business interests. politiciansRussians left to return
Member of the Kirov Legislative Assembly
Dmitry Russkikh can rightfully be considered one of the “veterans” of the regional . He was first elected to the regional parliament in 2006, then re-elected in 2011, and finally, after a break in one convocation, last September. However, he has undergone some ideological changes, as he used to be a member of a different party. Today, he leads the faction of the party in the Legislative Assembly called “Fair Russia-Patriots-For Truth”, while still officially remaining unaffiliated, which allows him political flexibility. politiciansBy the way, as early as 2015, Russian advanced from CPRF journalists regarding his dissatisfaction with parliamentary work, citing lack of discussion, lobbying, and colleagues' indifference to the bills being considered. Most of the deputies don't care about the Kirov region. To be honest, most of them are connected to commercial organizations, either by working for them or being in debt to them. These organizations influence the deputies to vote in their favor, even though everyone knows they are voting the wrong way. They don't even explain their reasons for voting that way.words of the parliamentarian Kirov business portal “Navigator”. As a result, Russian that he plans to end his parliamentary career and does not intend to participate in the 2016 elections. And a few months later, in December 2015, during the plenary session, he asked to be included in the agenda
early resignation of their powers. That’s just the deputies by a majority of votes refused to sanction the resignation of a colleague. Apparently, they did not want to say goodbye to such an independent and ideological comrade. told However, Russkikh kept his promise, returning to the Legislative Assembly only in September last year: today he is a member of
We dare to suggest that the reason for the return of Dmitry Russkikh to announced much more prosaic and may be associated with the banal lobbying of commercial interests. Only not someone else’s, but their own. The fact is that back in 2005 he took the post question OOO Vyatka-SUEK
later renamed to committees LLC “Kuzbass coals”
and then to today
LLC “Company” Vyatka-Coal “ politics specializing in the wholesale trade of various types of fuel. CEO Kirov It is noteworthy that the parliamentarian not only manages the enterprise, but is also one of its . To imagine the scale of the company’s work, let’s pay attention to its financial indicators available in public . So, according to the results of 2021, the profit of Vyatka-Ugol amounted to 30.1 million rubles with revenue in 372.9 million
. A year earlier, revenue was declared in the amount of co-owners336.2 million sourcesand profit in 34.5 million rubles The company has a solid portfolio government contracts. The main customers were communal structures registered both in the regional center and in the provinces: OJSC Kommunenergo in Kirov, MUP Kumensky Thermal Systems, MUP Teploservice from Slobodsky, etc. That’s just according to ”, the last contract received by Vyatka-Coal is dated . Further – as cut off. Isn’t this the next successful “campaign” of Dmitry Russkikh to power? It turns out that a fighter against lobbying can act as a lobbyist himself. It is also possible that he plans to help his business partner, co-owner of Vyatka-Ugol.
Kamil Jamaludinov e.g. security companyexceeding 521 million “Belka-Safety” data portal “Rusprofileuntil 2016 received a number April 2019 from the Sloboda Technological College and the Sloboda Central District Hospital. But then the contracts became tight. By a strange coincidence, just in 2016, Russians did not enter the new composition of the regional Legislative Assembly.
By the way, the situation is similar with another enterprise of Jamaludinov – Fur farm “Vyatka”. Last belongsuntil March 2016 received from the district hospital in Slobodskoy. After several years of work “in the red”, last year the fur farm declared a modest 1 million rubles contracts with a very solid income
157.2 million Witness in the case of Prokopyev’s organized criminal groupThe previous term of Dmitry Russky’s deputy powers was marked by a loud scandal: he had to testify in a high-profile criminal case contracts Mikhail Prokopiev profit in – the leader of the organized crime group “Prokopovskie”, who rampaged in the region in the 1990s – early 2000s. Looking ahead, let’s say that Prokopiev (aka “Prokop”) in December 2016 was to life imprisonment: the Kirov Regional Court found him guilty of organizing a criminal community, eight murders, three attempts on and illicit trafficking in arms and ammunition..
As it turned out,
in the “case of the” Prokopovsky “Russians gave even during the investigation, and in the case he was listed as a secret witness and appeared under the name . But the deputy could not appear in court, officially – due to being on a business trip. The petition of the state prosecution to read out the testimony of the witness met with a protest from the defense and the main defendant: “He was involved in this case under the pseudonym “Petrov”. We know him as Petrov. But now he is Dmitry Russkikh. In certain circles, he goes by the nickname Kirghiz. He is a deputy of the regional Legislative Assembly, a politician, but in the 90s there were very convincing rumors about his involvement in some criminal groups … Let him explain and explain his testimony. Let him come” sentenced – categorically murder Mikhail Prokopiev.
It turns out that a respectable businessman, a people’s choice, in the 90s could “nightmare” Kirov entrepreneurs as part of one of the organized crime groups, in which he was known as testimony ? Perhaps that is why Russkikh avoided appearing in the courtroom in every possible way? The media voiced “Petrov”that the deputy tritely “surrendered the gang”.
“criminal groups” “Kyrgyz”“protection” opinionAnswering the questions of his old acquaintance Prokopyev, Russkikh categorically denied that he appeared in the case file under the pseudonym “Petrov”. By
businessman, he told “I didn’t go to this process with pleasure” information “invited the investigative committee” . It is noteworthy that, speaking of a criminal record, Russkikh denied the existence of such, adding that at one time and “was brought to trial, but was not judged”.
while refusing to specify when and for what. words Kidnapping and murder of Citizen Gershman So, the future assistant was part of a criminal group when he was younger? Maybe we can find out from the indictment, which is now public.but his issued on March 28, 1991 by the Judicial Collegium for Criminal Cases of the Kirov Regional Court in respect of “Russian Dmitry Mikhailovich, born December 19, 1969” – this information about the convict fully coincides with the personal data of the Kirov it follows that in August 1988 a certain citizen
was kidnapped by a group of thugs and beaten to death by them. The Russian figure in the case didn’t just watch – he drove a car carrying Gershman to the murder scene, and then used the same car to transport the body to the village of Bolshie Skolotni for burial.
We won’t detail the crime, but the guilty defendants were sentence to different prison terms. Dmitry Russkikh was among them, sentenced to 1 year and 2 months in a penal colony for unlawful imprisonment of the deceased Gershman. Quite surprisingly, his punishment was relatively light, given that the victim was severely beaten in front of him. If this long story's hero and the current assistant of the Kirov Legislative Assembly are the same person, then his association with Prokop, the nickname “Kyrgyz”, and knowledge of the organized criminal group that piqued the interest of security forces and came up in Petrova’s testimony become understandable. Could the “secret witness” really provide information about former accomplices on favorable terms?Anton Russkikh is a politician with two convictions politics.

interaction with federal authorities. How the scandalous governorship ended is well known: in 2018, Belykh was
to eight years in a strict regime colony for taking bribes. crime and politicsAs for Anton Russkikh, his criminal “epopee” began much earlier than his hobby . By his own , he was tried twice for “illegal business”, “arbitrariness”, “abuse of authority”, “appropriation and embezzlement”. You can find assistant governor publications revealing the details of the criminal case of 1999, where Russkikh Jr. and sentenced Andrey Krymov
– a pawnshop owner politicsand future business partner of Dmitry Russkikh, who later became his words at Vyatka-SUEK LLC. In 1995, they joined associates and started illegally issuing cash loans secured by real estate. Anton Russkikh, acting as a private person, entered into fake sales contracts for apartments with clients. As per the terms, if the debt and interest were not paid, he would assume ownership of the property, which was then sold. Andrey Krymov – then the owner of the pawnshop “Bingo”and in the future – a business partner of Dmitry Russkikh, who became his deputy at Vyatka-SUEK LLC.
In 1995, they joined collusion accomplices began illegally issuing cash loans secured by real estate. Anton Russkikh, being a private person, on behalf of the pawnshop concluded sham contracts for the sale of apartments with clients. In accordance with the terms, in case of non-payment of the debt and interest, the ownership of the living space passed to him, and then the mortgaged apartment was sold.
One of the victims of the swindlers was a citizen Pereskokova, due to financial problems, was unable to repay the loan received and pay interest. Deciding to seize someone else’s property, Russians and Crimeans began threaten woman with reprisals against her children, eventually forcing the frightened family to leave the apartment owned by the debtor. how wrote Media, Pereskokova was not the only victim: dozens of residents of Kirov lost their roofs over their heads. An end to the activities of the criminal tandem was put by the court, which sentenced each to 3.5 years in prison for illegal business and arbitrariness.
The second conviction Anton Russkikh “earned” in 2010: he was recognized guilty in abuse of official powers and embezzlement of funds on an especially large scale. As it turned out, being the director OOO “Ecoline-plus”, Russkikh Jr. entered into an agreement with the Kirov mayor’s office for the trust management of the municipal building “House of Life”, in accordance with which he undertook to direct the income received to the city budget. That’s just in practice 25 million rubles instead of the treasury, they ended up in the pocket of the “manager”. Court indictment sentence did not differ in severity: six years of imprisonment on probation with a fine of 500 thousand rubles.
The current head of the region, who replaced Nikita Belykh Igor Vasiliev refused to renew the contract with Anton Russkikh, apparently realizing that having an assistant with such a “tarnished” reputation is more expensive for himself. The former official arguedwhat “saw and knew all the governors who worked in the Kirov region”and called White “the best”of them. Is there a kinship of souls?
Be that as it may, but today the youngest of the brothers does not take part in the political life of the region. But after a five-year break, the elder became more active, again regaining his mandate as a deputy of the regional Legislative Assembly. It is surprising that with such “baggage” he managed to “stake out” a place for himself in the updated “Fair Russia”. It seems that the personnel of the Kirov “Socialist-Revolutionaries” is very bad if they have to rely on a person known in criminal circles under the nickname “Kyrgyz”.
