Sylvester crime boss. (photo) The murder of the leader of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group Sylvester is solved

The 1990s became famous for rampant crime. Perestroika frenzy produced crooks, racketeers and bandits of all stripes. Rarely did a day in Moscow go by without shootings, explosions and corpses. Criminal gangs began to organize. And one of the most brutal groups was "Orekhovskaya", which was headed by Sergei Timofeev, also known as "Tractor Driver" and later "Sylvester".

Timofeev was born in the village of Klin, Moshensky district, Novgorod region. According to the recollections of fellow villagers, he was a normal guy, did not drink, did not smoke, went in for sports. But, interestingly, at that time he did not stand out with organizational skills. In 1973 he was drafted into the army, where he served in the Kremlin regiment. Later, he worked in the mechanization department of Glavmosstroy and was actively engaged in hand-to-hand combat in a hostel, where he lived with his friend Anatoly Voronov. He also actively visited the "rocking chair". For his muscles, he was given the nickname "Sylvester", in honor of the cult action hero Sylvester Stallone. And with the punks he began to engage in divorce on thimbles.

In 1988, Timofeev, who didn’t like working on trifles at all, organized the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group out of local punks and guys from the “rocking chair”. Former athletes who were not needed by the new government found "work" with Sylvester. Tracksuits are in vogue.

The Orekhovskys begin to rob truckers. The driver was thrown out on the highway, and the goods and cars were sold. At the same time, they begin to "protect" prostitutes at the Arbat restaurant on Kalininsky Prospekt, now Novy Arbat. Sylvester subjugates the entire south and south-west of Moscow. He is paid tribute by automobile and apartment thieves, private cabbies, car dealers, and businessmen. At the same time, in the late 80s, Sylvester did not particularly bother law enforcement agencies. Here is what the legendary detective Alexander Gurov recalls: "He was a calm person, he did not finish our skin, as we say, especially much. He understood and did not complicate the operational situation."

03. Sylvester in the army

Timofeev began an uncompromising war with the Caucasian criminal clans. Journalist Larisa Kislinskaya met Sylvester in jail when he was there on suspicion of extortion large sum money and this is what she says: “They were still sitting in the temporary detention center on Petrovka and I came to talk with the arrested Timofeev. He was such a simple village guy. In sweatpants with sagging knees. wherever you go, in a cafe, for example, there are only Caucasians?"

Valery Karyshev, lawyer for killer Alexander Solonik ("Sasha Makedonsky"), who was a member of the Orekhovsky gang, on whose account the murdered thief in law Viktor Nikiforov ("Kalina") and the leader of the Bauman organized criminal group Vladislav Vanner ("Bobon"): "In Butyrka, sitting under As a result, he developed a blitz plan to destroy the leaders of the Chechen groups."

Alexander Solonik will escape from Matrosskaya Tishina, the only one in the history of the prison, and will be strangled in Greece on the orders of Sergei Butorin (Osya), along with his girlfriend, model, finalist of the Miss Russia-96 contest, 22-year-old Natalia Kotova. The order was performed by Alexei Gusev, Alexander Sharapov and Alexander Pustovalov.

Alexander Solonik and Natalia Kotova

One of the first, on the orders of Sylvester, was killed thief in law Viktor Dlugach ("Globus"). He was "baptized" by Caucasians. With his help, they wanted to strengthen their position in Moscow. Officially, Sylvester and Globus did not share control of the Arlekino club. Globus was killed by Alexander Solonik on the night of April 9-10 when leaving the LIS'S discotheque, owned by a well-known businessman, and now a senator in the Federation Council of the Russian Federation from the Kurgan Regional Duma Sergey Lisovsky. It was the first murder of a thief in law. Audacity unseen.

And on January 17, 1994, Sergei Ananyevsky ("Kultik") killed Bobon, the "right" hand of Globus. The Arbat, which was controlled by the Baumansimi, passed into the possession of the Orekhovskys.

Grigory Gusyatinsky ("Grisha Severny") - a former KGB officer, shot dead in January 1995 in Kyiv by Lyosha the Soldier on the left. Sergey Dmitriev ("Half portion") in the center, Gusyatinsky's driver - will be strangled by Dmitry Znachkovsky in 1996. Znachkovsky will also be strangled by D. Turkin and A. Kondratyev in February 2000. And Sergey Ananievsky ("Kultik") - the champion of the USSR in 1991 in power triathlon on the right, will be shot by Pavel Zelenin in 1996. Pavel Zelenin will die of a heart attack in 1998 in "Matrosskaya Tishina"

Left - Vladislav Vanner ("Bobon")

Perhaps the most famous murder committed by the "Orekhovskaya" is the murder of Otari Kvantrishvili on April 5, 1994, which was committed by the legendary killer of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group Alexei Sherstobitov ("Lyosha the Soldier"). Kvantrishvili was leaving the Krasnopresnensky baths. The killer fired from the attic of the house, which was opposite. At the same time, Lyosha the Soldier did not bring down everyone who was nearby. According to his recollections, he saw his friend bend down to cover his murdered comrade with his body. As they say, this friend was the famous wrestler Mikhail Mamiashvili. The killer appreciated the nobility and courage and did not kill him and Kvantrishvili's bodyguards. The murder happened because of the redistribution of the Tuapse oil refinery, which Sylvester wanted to take over. Kvantrishvili had great influence and was close to President Yeltsin.

After the murder of Kvantrishvili, Sylvester flew to the USA, to Brooklyn, to another legendary thief in law, Vyacheslav Ivankov ("Jap"). Nobody knows what they were talking about.

Vyacheslav Ivankov ("Jap")

Alexander Trushkin, MUR operative officer in 1996-2006: “There were so many murders and shootouts in Moscow that we didn’t have time to travel around. But this group, in my opinion, was twice as limitless as all the others because with no one did not conduct a dialogue, but dealt with everyone only by executions.

On June 7, 1994, Boris Berezovsky's car drove out of the gates of the Logovaz building on Novokuznetskaya Street, which at that time was " gray cardinal"Russia. A nearby car exploded. A guard and a driver were killed. Berezovsky was slightly wounded. It seems that the subject of a showdown were two outstanding bills, each for 500 million rubles, which the All-Russian Automobile Alliance "AVVA", headed by Berezovsky, bought on March 16, 1994 from Moscow Trade and Cooperative Bank with a maturity date of April 16, 1994. Attempts to negotiate with Sylvester, who protected the bank, did not lead to anything. Later, all the money was returned to Berezovsky, and even with interest of one billion two hundred million rubles. And he himself insisted on termination of the criminal case.

By the fall of 1994, Sylvester is called the uncrowned king of Moscow. On September 13, 1994, Sylvester got into his Mercedes, which was standing at house 46, on 3rd Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street, took out mobile phone and there was an explosion. The customer turned out to be his deputy, Sergei Butorin, who is said to have feared that he would have to answer for the murders he received orders to carry out from Sylvester. Osya became the head of the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group.

Sergei Butorin ("Osia")

With his first wife, Lyubov, Sylvester divorced and married Olga Zhlobinskaya. She was the chairman of the board of the Moscow Trade Bank, the head of CJSC Yustinlev Inc. and Arealinstrakh. Through these offices, the money of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group was laundered. She was detained by the Moscow RUBOP on suspicion of embezzling 18 billion rubles, and then released on bail and she immediately fled to Israel and took a new name - Ilona Rubinstein.

Since the corpse of Sylvester was disfigured after the explosion, they say that he staged his murder, and now he lives happily ever after. They even call the country Israel. Everything can be.

This business is considered to be extremely risky. It is unlikely that the new case is solely related to traction Russian entrepreneur to adventure: it is known that David Yakobashvili is consistently trying to get rid of his business in Russia. Probably, the new economic conditions in the country are not suitable for the businessmen of the dashing 1990s.

Osya forever

The judge recalled that in 1991 the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group was created by the criminal authority Sergey Timofeev (Sylvester). According to the indictment, gang members extorted money from merchants in exchange for criminal patronage, and eliminated rival gangs. In addition, the Orekhovskys also killed members of their gang, who somehow aroused distrust in them. In 1997, gang members, the Ivanov brothers, were killed. According to the materials read out by the judge, the leaders of the organized criminal group received information that the Ivanovs were disclosing information about the activities of the group and were drinking. The operation to eliminate them was led by Polyansky.

The Ivanovs, together with other members of the gang, went to the forest near the village of Lipki, Odintsovo district, Moscow region. In the forest, they began to dig a hole, as it was supposed, for the next corpses that they should bring. After some time, Polyansky drove up, threw Ivanovs work clothes and ordered them to change clothes, allegedly for conspiracy. When the brothers undressed, Polyansky opened fire on them, and their corpses were thrown into the hole they had just dug.

Sergey Timofeev (nicknamed Sylvester) - well-known crime boss Russian history since perestroika, the leader of the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group, founded in 1986 in the city of Moscow. He became widely known for his hostile and radical attitude towards the participants and leaders of the Caucasian organized criminal groups.

Sergei Timofeev: biography

Born on July 18, 1955 in the village of Klin, Novgorod Region (USSR). He was a modest and inconspicuous boy, studied at a secondary school and at the same time worked as a tractor driver on the collective farm of his native village. AT early years the guy was actively fond of sports: he regularly spent morning jogging, worked on horizontal bars, and in home time pulled dumbbells. At the age of 1-8 he joined the army, served in Moscow. In 1975, Sergei Timofeev was demobilized, and soon the guy decides to stay in the capital. Together with best friend they are settled in a hostel in the vicinity of the Orekhovo-Borisovsky district.

In search of myself

Living in the "white stone", Timofeev began to get involved in art hand-to-hand combat, and soon began working as a trainer in the housing and communal services of Glavmosstroy. Very soon, Sergei marries and changes his place of residence. Now he lives on Shipilovskaya Street. Soon, the future Sylvester finishes with sports, but continues to maintain his physical strength in good shape and at the same time is engaged in private transportation. Realizing that working in this area, you won’t earn a lot of money for a living, Timofeev is looking for other ways of self-realization.

The beginning of criminal activity

In 1984-1985, Sergey Ivanovich Timofeev got in touch with the "Orekhovskaya" punks and organized a business - the guys were engaged in thimming. During this period, Timofeev's criminal activity was launched. Being an imperious, physically fit and strict man, Sylvester actively introduces other people to his gang. This included representatives of many illegal professions that were popular at that time - car thieves, thimblers, private cab drivers and many others. A gang from the southern outskirts of Moscow begins to quickly gain authority and influence the entire capital. Here rapidly the punks of the Orekhovo-Borisovsky district are being pulled up, which Timofeev's younger brother, nicknamed Ivanych Jr., began to attract.

Law "On Cooperation" and the fight against Caucasians

Gorbachev's law "On Cooperation", so to speak, "turned" a criminal gang into a legal organization. The composition of the group was mostly strong guys and former athletes (they say that former KGB and GRU officers joined Sylvester's gang). The main activity of Timofeev and his army of thugs was racketeering.

Timofeev Sergey Ivanovich (Sylvester) had an extremely negative attitude towards "colored" organized criminal groups. In the late 80s, Sylvester's brigade already had several serious conflicts with representatives of the Chechen organized crime groups, who were rapidly conquering the Moscow South Port market. The leader of the Orekhovskys fought desperately and fearlessly with them. Ambitious Sylvester fought not only for a piece of delicious criminal pie, but also "for an idea." According to unofficial data, he was respected by local law enforcement agencies for this.

In order to strengthen his position and confidently eliminate Caucasians from the criminal world, Timofeev makes acquaintance with the leader of the Solntsevskaya gang, Sergei Mikhailov, nicknamed Mikhas. United together, they waged a brutal war against the "colored" groups.

First imprisonment

In 1989, Sergey Ivanovich Timofeev, along with his accomplices Sergei Mikhailov, Viktor Avernim and Evgeny Lyustarnov, were taken into custody on charges of extortion from the Fond cooperative. During the investigation and proceedings, everyone except Timofeev was able to escape from imprisonment. The leader of the Orekhovskaya OPG Sylvester was sentenced to three years.

According to some rumors, Timofeev extorted money from Vladimir Kuzmin himself (a Russian singer), who at that time was in a relationship with Alla Pugacheva. For the times of the late 80s and early 90s, it was standard practice - every profitable activity should be "under the roof." It is not surprising why some well-known pop artists are directly related to the authorities of the criminal world.

Activities of Sylvester and his brigade

Sergei Timofeev did not serve a full term, but only half of it. In 1991, Timofeev was released and immediately continued his active criminal activity, and soon he was able to unite many small gangs operating in the Orekhovo-Borisovsky district of Moscow. The gang turns into a highly organized criminal structure that subjugates many large establishments and organizations (nightclubs, cafes, restaurants, car repair shops, repair services, etc.) in the South-West of Moscow. The activities of the Orekhovskaya group unfolded as criminal wars against neighboring gangs, they sought to conquer as much Moscow territory as possible.

Sergei Timofeev, nicknamed Sylvester, became known not only within the capital, but throughout the CIS. According to some unofficial data, there is information that Timofeev was offered to join the ranks of thieves in law, but for unknown reasons, Sylvester ignored this proposal from the "tops" of the criminal world.

To the top of the criminal hierarchy

Authoritative persons of the underworld of the CIS began to take an interest in the personality of Timofeev. So he happened to get acquainted with such famous thieves as Mishka Yaponchik, Petrov Alexei Dinarovich (nicknamed Petrik), Khachidze Jamal Konstantinovich (Jamal), Pavel Tsirul (Tsirul) and Otari Kvantrishvili. Friendship and joint affairs led Sylvester to the heights of the criminal conjuncture.

Now the possibilities of Sergei Timofeev have become even greater, he is becoming a real Moscow "Don Juan". Big money and power integrate luxury and permissiveness into his life. To resolve some conflicts, Sylvester could seek help from the Izmailovskaya, Golyanovskaya, Taganskaya and Perovskaya organized crime groups. In addition, Timofeev collaborated with criminal gangs from the Trans-Urals, which provided him with their own lands for business.

Contract killings

In early 1992, he married Olga Zhlobinskaya and became an Israeli citizen. A little later, his wife Olga took the position CEO"Moscow Trade Bank", in which the commerce of the All-Russian Automobile Alliance of Boris Berezovsky was invested in 1994. As a result, the bank for a long time did not pay funds to Berezovsky. In 1994, Timofeev had a conflict with some authoritative leaders of Moscow criminal groups, as well as with Caucasians. Purposeful Sylvester removed all competitors standing in his way. Subsequently, he began to show his interest in the oil business, because of which he had disagreements with the Mutual goal to take over the Tuapse oil plant led to the fact that Timofeev ordered the murder of Kvantrishvili in 1994.

In 1993, Timofeev came into conflict with a Caucasian crime boss named Globus. The thieves simultaneously pursued the same goal - to seize the property rights of the Arlekino nightclub. According to the classics of the genre, Timofeev decided to eliminate a competitor by turning to the hired killer Alexander Solonik.

In June 1994, an attack on the life of Boris Berezovsky himself was organized. The oligarch's car was mined and blown up - the driver died, and Berezovsky himself escaped with a moderate wound. This fact attracted the maximum interest from the press and the public. The president Russian Federation for the first time officially announced that criminal "lawlessness" reigns in Russia.

Sergey Timofeev Sylvester: crime boss exploded in his own car

On September 13, 1994, at 19-00 Moscow time, a Mercedes-Benz car was blown up, in which the leader of the Orekhovskys himself died. According to the investigation, explosives were planted in the car. The explosion itself was made possible with the help of a radio signal, when Timofeev used cellular communication services on a mobile phone.

It is still unknown who made the attempt on Timofeev. There are many options and opinions that contradict each other. And this is not surprising, because Sergei Timofeev had a lot of enemies and ill-wishers.

At the end of the 1980s, in connection with the weakening of state power, criminal power grew stronger. Instead of disparate groups, large brigades appear, which are fighting among themselves for a place under the sun in all conceivable and inconceivable ways. The most powerful of them were (and still are) Solntsevo and Orekhov. In the south of Moscow flashes new star the criminal world - Sergey Ivanovich Timofeev, nicknamed Sylvester (or as his loving subordinates called him - Ivanych).

The star of the criminal world of the 90s was born into a simple family in the village of Klin, Moshensky district, Novgorod region. Having received the specialty of a tractor driver, he went to serve in the army. Having repaid his debt to his homeland, Timofeev moved to Moscow for distribution.

The neon lights of the capital promise a better life, but the hopeless situation pushes the guy to work at two jobs at once - at a construction site during the day and as an instructor in gym in the evening. He understands the hopelessness and futility of his path. Despondency settles in the heart of Timofeev.

After some time, he converges with the Orekhov punks, or rather with the Ionitsa brigade and works with thimblers at the Belgrade department store, where he meets the Kleshchenko brothers (Uzbeks). It should be noted that at that time the brigade had a conflict with local Azerbaijanis. Having lost in thimbles, and not wanting to pay, the Azerbaijani behaves defiantly, for which he "gets hit on the head." In the evening, about 80 angry compatriots of the offended gather near the department store. Timofeev and the guys can barely get away from the angry crowd of Azerbaijanis. Just after this incident, Sergei Timofeev comes to the attention of law enforcement agencies. It should be noted that both today and then the policy of appeasing and supporting southern peoples led to the dominance of emigrants in Moscow, which was not to the liking of the future leader of the Orekhovskys.

In 1989, Timofeev got into Matrosskaya Tishina on suspicion of extorting money from the Niva cooperative. Mikhailov (Mikhas), Averin, Chistyakov are also involved in the case. After serving three years in colony No. 100 of the Tver region, Timofeev is released and becomes the full leader of the Orekhovskaya group.

The first thing Timofeev does is to unite the disparate brigades into one common combat vehicle under the flag of the struggle against the Caucasians. Timofeev begins to enjoy unquestioned authority among the guys and has power over them. After that, the Orekhovskys can no longer be stopped!

To solve power issues, Sylvester takes under his wing the "Kurgan" under the leadership of Oleg Nelyubin (Nelyub). It should also be noted that the group closely cooperates with the Medvedkovskaya brigade, which is under the leadership of the former KGB officer Grigory Gusyatinsky (Grisha Severny). I would like to add that sometimes it is rather problematic to draw a clear line and say who exactly belongs to which group. Often it is simply impossible to separate Solntsevo from Orekhov's, and Orekhov's from Medvedkov's.

In the early 90s, Sylvester meets the financier Lerner, who actually becomes the treasurer of the group and with his help, scams in the banking sector are scrolled. Lerner introduces Sylvester to his secretary Olga Zhlobinskaya, after which Sylvester enters into a fictitious marriage with her and receives Israeli citizenship.

After the death of the leaders, the Grisha of the North group is headed by the Pylev brothers and Osya Butorin.

In the course of the investigation that began, law enforcement officers suggested that the militants would probably try to crack down on the woman who had survived the stabbing, and her house on Orekhovy Boulevard was taken under surveillance. At the beginning of the eighth, the law enforcement officers who were on duty noticed a light "eight" that stopped at the house on Orekhovy. The two men inside were obviously waiting for someone. When the law enforcement officers approached the car to check the documents of the arrivals, the Zhiguli passenger suddenly fired a pistol at the policemen. The detectives had no choice but to return fire to kill from service Kalashnikov assault rifles.

Next, we suggest recalling the fate of the members of the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group, which in the 90s was one of the most influential and most brutal groups in Moscow. The gang is involved in high-profile murders, but due to internal squabbles, it has significantly weakened by the early 2000s. Most of its prominent members were either killed or sentenced to long prison terms.

In the 90s serious profit brought a game of thimbles. The Orekhovskaya brigades protected thimble-makers near the shops "Polish Fashion", "Leipzig", "Electronics", "Belgrade" near the metro stations "Domodedovskaya" and "Yugo-Zapadnaya".

Also, the Orekhovskaya organized crime group extorted money from drivers who were engaged in private transportation near the Kashirskaya metro station. In 1989, gas stations in the Sovietsky and Krasnogvardeisky districts of Moscow came under the control of the group.

The leader of the group was Sergei Timofeev, who received the nickname Sylvester for his resemblance to the actor Sylvester Stallone. He was killed on September 13, 1994 - his Mercedes 600 was blown up on 3rd Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street. The murder of Sylvester was a blow to the organized criminal group, and the division of his inheritance cost the lives of most of the Orekhovskaya leaders. The killers have not yet been found, and even Boris Berezovsky was named among the possible organizers: it was Sylvester who was associated with the attempt on the businessman in the summer of 1994.

According to one version, the murder of Sylvester could be revenge for the execution of the leader of the Bauman organized crime group Valery Dlugach, nicknamed Globus (pictured right). Dlugach was killed in 1993 by Alexander Solonik, the killer of the Kurgan organized criminal group, which at that moment was collaborating with the Orekhovskaya.

While Sylvester was alive, his power united several brigades whose leaders were friends: pentathlete Igor Abramov (Dispatcher; killed in 1993), boxing champion of the USSR in 1981 Oleg Kalistratov (Kalistrat; killed in 1993), hockey player Igor Chernakov (Dvoechnik; photo right; killed in 1995), boxer Dmitry Sharapov (Dimon; killed in 1993), bodybuilder Leonid Kleshchenko (Uzbek Sr.; photo left; killed in 1993).

In 1993-1994, the Medvedkov group joined the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group.

One of the most high-profile cases of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group was the murder of a criminal circles entrepreneur Otari Kvantrishvili. He was killed on April 5, 1994, when leaving the Krasnopresnensky baths, by one of the "Orekhov" - Alexei Sherstobitov (Lesha Soldat; in 2008 he was sentenced to 23 years in prison).

The heirs of Sylvester fought for power for more than one year. On March 4, 1996, not far from the US embassy on Novinsky Boulevard, Sylvester's closest assistant and his heir to the organized criminal group, Sergei Ananievskiy (Kultik; pictured in the middle), was killed. He got his nickname because he was engaged in bodybuilding and was the champion of the USSR in 1991 in powerlifting. As it turned out later, the killer was Pavel Zelenin, a member of the Kurgan organized criminal group.

After the death of Sergei Ananyevsky, Sergei Volodin (Dragon; in the photo on the left) became the head of the organized criminal group. In the photo: the funeral of Sergei Ananyevsky at the Khovansky cemetery.

Shortly after the murder of Sergei Ananyevsky, Sergei Volodin (right) was also shot. Sergei Butorin (Osya) becomes the new leader of the organized crime group.

Having become the leader of the organized crime group, Sergei Butorin entered into an alliance with the "Medvedkovskaya" brothers Andrei and Oleg Pylev (Malaya and Sanych) and collaborated with the Kurgan organized criminal group, which did not prevent him from becoming the customer of the main killer of the "Kurgan" Alexander Solonik. In 1996, Butorin staged his own funeral and temporarily went into the shadows, and in the early 2000s he fled to Spain, but was arrested in 2001 and sentenced to life imprisonment, which he is currently serving.

Alexander Solonik (Valeryanych) is a killer of the Kurgan organized crime group, involved in the murder of the adopted son of the thief in law Yaponchik and the leader of the Bauman organized crime group Vladislav Vanner, nicknamed Bobon. Made three escapes from custody. He was killed in Greece in 1997 by Alexander Pustovalov (Sasha Soldat; sentenced to 22 years in prison in 2005) by a member of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group, on the orders of Sergei Butorin.

Sergey Butorin (pictured) and his accomplices are behind many high-profile murders: the leaders of the Kuntsevo group Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Kuligin, the falconer group Vladimir Kutepov (Kutep) and others.

Marat Polyansky - a killer, a member of the Orekhovskaya and Medvedkovskaya organized crime groups. He was involved in the murder of the killer of the Kurgan organized crime group Alexander Solonik, as well as Otari Kvantrishvili. He was detained in February 2001 in Spain. In January 2013, he was sentenced to 23 years in prison.
