: Victims of adult wealth

A series of abductions of businessmen children is an extremely alarming symbol of time. The problem is that businessmen, having trusted in the inability of the state to make the surrounding reality safe, protect themselves - by guard, fences, emigration. This greatly spoils the image of Russian business in the rest of the population.

The incident with the abduction of the son of a businessman Yevgeny Kaspersky ended happily (his company of the same name develops and sells antivirus programs of the same name). According to Life News with reference to a source close to the investigation, the founder of the Kaspersky Lab paid a ransom, but the amount is not called. Earlier, the publication reported that the bandits demanded 3 million euros for Ivan. In the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, information is not commented.

According to Kommersant, Kaspersky did not contact the law enforcement agencies, since the abductors demanded this. Instead, he turned to friends from the FSB.

“Kaspersky Laboratory” yesterday asked the media to “refrain from the spread of speculation and rumors about the events regarding the family members of Yevgeny Kaspersky.” “Evgeny Kaspersky works as usual, but explained that the distributed information is harming the company,” the company said.

News also appear about another abducted-daughter of the LUKOIL top manager Victoria Tesluk. The message about the discovery of the body of the daughter of the top manager of the LUKOIL company Victoria Teslyuk appeared on the eve on the official website of the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee in the Arkhangelsk Region. However, subsequently the Investigative Committee corrected and stated that no body was found, and the investigation continues.

The kidnapping of businessmen’s children has become a kind of criminal business in Russia, in the manner of robbing collectors.

In 2008, the son of the top manager of “Council of Council” Raisa Nurmukhametov was stolen. The kidnappers paid a ransom of 3 million euros. In April 2009, the son of Rosneft Vice President Mikhail Stavsky, 19-year-old Mikhail, right near the University of Oil and Gas named after Gubkina, where he studied. It was held for two months, after which they released it. The abduction of the 17-year-old daughter of the co-owner of the Luding alcoholic company Arthur Varzapetyan managed to prevent: the police took the criminals for Zhizhts.

The abductions of the businessmen themselves often happen: the most famous of them occurred in 2002 with the vice president of Lukoil Sergey Kukura. According to the media, criminals demanded 3 million dollars and 3 million euros. KUUKU was released, according to him, without paying a ransom.

Compared to adult businessmen, kidnapping children organizationally easier. The abduction of Kukura outwardly resembled a special operation. According to LUKOIL, the official car of Kukura was stopped at a railway crossing under the pretext of checking documents by people in camouflage masks armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles. They put on handcuffs on the guard and driver and took the prisoner.

Businessmen children are far from always available. To track their movements is also a small problem - they can also be calculated by the activity of young people on social networks.

The facts of abductions of children with threats to life and health have an extremely negative social effect. Unable to get from the state not only to establish certain and unchanged business conditions, but also to protect life and health, businessmen (and politicians) strive to defend themselves themselves. Through the construction of fenced houses and cottage villages. Through the hiring of corporate quasi-armium. After sending their children to study in safe Europe and the USA. Yes, and the businessmen themselves spend their free time somewhere abroad.

The abductions, thus, contribute to the fact that business and authorities feel like temporary workers and send loved ones from the country.

Representatives of the ruling elite (and they, in turn, blame all sorts of oppositionists), but the fault here in many ways, if not exclusively, lies with the state. It is characteristic that in some cases, in addition to crime, a variety of “werewolves in uniform” also participate in the abductions. So, the leader of the gang, planning the abduction of the daughter of Varzapetyan, was an officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

A demonstrative unwillingness to live in an unsafe country and the desire for internal (in the case of fences and protection) or external emigration does not add popularity to the population.

The population already considers their property unfairly acquired and refuses business to legitimacy.

However, the recent conflict between the Prosecutor General and the TFR, during which the collision went along the “children's line”, was not least allowed because to use children in adult showdowns - indecent, not according to concepts. Therefore, we are talking about the phenomenon of the non -systemic, about criminal lawmakers. The main thing is that their abductions go out of fashion. Including for this power, normal police reform is needed, which will create effective law enforcement agencies.
