Alexander Parinov, one of the participants in the neo -Nazi group Bourn, whose members are judged in Moscow, is still on the wanted list. As Mediazona found out, Parinov is alive, is still in Ukraine and is connected with the fighters of the Azov regiment
Russian law enforcement agencies consider Alexander Parinov one of the participants in the brutal combat organization of Russian nationalists (BORN), the process over the four members of which has been continuing in the Moscow Regional Court for the second month. Parinov, whom the accomplices call the participant of at least two murders, is still hiding in Ukraine and communicates with the Azov Regiment. Three sources close to the “Azov” were told about this “Mediazone”.
According to one of the sources, the Parines, known in the Russian right -winging environment under the nickname "Romanians", is now participating in the activities of the Azov Volunteer Regiment. This regiment, which takes part in military operations in the east of Ukraine, is equipped mainly by ultra -right Ukrainians and their like -minded people from other countries. The second source also confirmed the connection of the neo -Nazi with Azov, but could not clarify whether he was a full -fledged participant in the armed formation or a simple volunteer.

The third source believes that Parinov is unlikely to participate in combat operations of the armed unit due to health problems, as it is sick with diabetes. The interlocutor of the publication suggested that the Romanians are now not in Kiev, where the regiment headquarters is located, but in Zaporozhye (it was in Zaporozhye that the associate of Parinov was hidden on Borni Alexei Korshunov, who was blown up at his own grenade in the fall of 2011).
“If he is among us, then under other data, and not in the Russian Corps,” the source says. “Russian Corps” is the name of the Azov regiment branch, formed from Russians who decided to support the side of the Ukrainian authorities in confrontation with the armed forces of unrecognized people's republics.
Unlike the former member of the Russian National Socialist Society of the Belarusian Sergey, Malyuta Korotkikh (in 2010, the NSO is recognized as extremist and banned), which occupies a leading position in Azov and recently received a passport of a citizen of Ukraine from the hands of the President of the country Petro Poroshenko, Parinov has not yet naturalized, the mediazone interlocutor says.
“None of the Russians have received citizenship for participation in the ATO yet, but it is not particularly difficult to get it here in a different way. You can make left documents, ”he says.
At the same time, Leader Born Nikita Tikhonov, who lived in Ukraine with Parinov, told in court that he was there on the passport of a Ukrainian citizen for the surname Kurtz. Most likely, Parinov also had long acquired fake documents and lives under a strange name.
The source of New Gazeta, not related to the sources of the Mediazone, also confirms the information that Parinov is now related to the Azov regiment. The press service of the Mediazone regiment could not comment on this issue.
With Alexander Parinov, nicknamed "Romanians", future leader Bourn Nikita Tikhonov met in the late nineties. Then they were part of the Natsi-Skydov group “United Brigades 88”, whose participants attacked migrants and were one of the organizers of pogroms in the markets in Yasenevo and Tsaritsyno.
Parinov is not the first Russian who is fighting in Ukraine, having problems with the law in his homeland. A criminal case of mercenaries has been instituted against National Socialist Roman Zheleznov in Russia: investigators believe that Zheleznov, known in Russia under the nickname “Zuhel”, receives money for participating in the ATO. The Russian himself officially has a volunteer status. Another thing, in which his name is mentioned, is investigated against activists of the Restructure movement. According to investigators, they brutally beat the Azerbaijani Zaura Alyshev, who was suspected of trading in narcotic smoking mixtures. Alyshev died in a hospital bed. The legal status of Zheleznov in this case is still unknown.
Another member of Azov is a former Railway ally according to the Restruk movement from Cheboksar Mikhail Oreshnikov. In the summer, he surrendered to the Ukrainian border guards and told them that in his homeland he was pursued for participating in anti -government rallies. Previously, he served 1.5 years for the arson of the ATS.
The organizer of the Murmansk "Russian marches" Alexander Valov also moved to Ukraine. He escaped from law enforcement agencies of the region investigating the case of the creation of an extremist community against him. Valov says that he does not take part in the ATO.
“Familiar from the OB-88: Mikhail Volkov (Patrick), Sergey Nikulkin (SS), Maxim (“ Shlep-Nag ”), Gleb Karpov, Roma (Radio), Alexander Parinov (“ Romanian ”), Vladimir (“ Lnights ”), Cyril (Kerensky), Konstantin (Africa), Vladimir (“ Burner ”),-Listed quietly,” their friends from the group during interrogation.
With Parinov, they talked at parties, concerts and birthdays. “He at the OB-88 was responsible for organizing concerts, so he was always in sight. And I repeatedly guarded these concerts, helped him in the organization, ”recalled Tikhonov.
In 2005-2006, together with Romanian and other Nazinhadami, they participated in attacks on anti-fascists. “Parinov informed us that I cut one, I reacted in a negative-emotional form, took a knife from Parinov, my handle was a hilt and threw it into a snowdrift,” Tikhonov described one of the episodes.
On April 16, 2006, the company decided to attack visitors to the anti-fascist punk concert, which was held at the Planet Ice club near the Domodedovskaya metro station. On the way from the station, the Nazis met two young anti -fascists, who immediately attacked. According to Nikita Tixonov, he, along with other associates, attacked a “tall guy”, who managed to escape and escape - it was Yegor Tomsk. He survived.
“Then I saw that Parinov knocked down his opponent, hit him with his foot and said:“ This is superfluous, he is Mortv, ”recalled Tikhonov. It was 19-year-old Alexander Ryukhin, who died from two stabs in the head and heart. The knife remained in the body.
After the detention of some participants in the attack of the Parines and Tikhonov, they went on the run and stopped communicating with most of the acquaintances. Parinov left for Ukraine, where he had wide ties with local Nazis; Tikhonov stayed in Moscow and lived with friends - for example, with a neo -Nazi Alexei Korshunov and the journalist of Komsomolskaya Pravda Dmitry Steshin.
“At the end of 2007, I got in touch with Parinov, who was then in Ukraine, and he invited me to move to him. Through Parinov, I met his former colleague Eugenia Hasis. Not had a familiar resident of the Belgorod region who agreed to show the route for crossing the border, ”said Tikhonov. So he met his future civilian wife. The young neo-Nazi Khasis and Skinhead Romanian worked together in the Atletika-Alansa sports store on Nakhimovsky Prospekt, known in the right circles called Stein.
Nikita Tikhonov, who was already thinking about the creation of a ultra -right combat organization, is the whole to Ukraine. As a gift, he brought Parinov a grenade, which, according to Tikhonov, received from the leader of the “Russian image” Ilya Goryachev.
In September 2008, Tixonov returned to Moscow. A month later, together with Mikhail Volkov-still one old member of the OB-88, who joined the Tikhon brigade-they committed the murder of anti-fascist Fetor Filatov.

Parinov returned by December of the same year. Then the ultra -right ones actively discussed the murder of schoolgirl Anna Saborova, committed to visitors from Uzbekistan, and Nikita Tikhonov decided to “avenge” the crime. According to him, Goryachev prompted him this idea. The “revenge” was supposed to consist in the murder of a random migrant who was going to cut off his head. Then Tikhonov came up with the name of the group that would take responsibility for the crime - the combat organization of Russian nationalists, it is BORN. Korshunov was supposed to commit a murder, who, according to his associates, "always dreamed of cutting off his head to a migrant worker." Parinov volunteered to help him.
On the night of December 6, 2008, Korshunov and Parines, armed with traumatic pistols and a knife, hid behind the trees next to the path in the Bittsev forest, through which the migrants returned home from work. Seeing the figures of two migrant workers, the nationalists jumped out of an ambush. Parinov shot Saloxitdin Azizov from a traumatic pistol, and then Korshunov finished it off with a knife. Another migrant, who received several wounds, managed to escape.
Korshunov cut off his head with a machete. According to the plan, he was supposed to take a picture of him in place, but instead, part of his body to Tikhonov home led. “As a result, I had to specially travel to the area of the Butovo railway station and take pictures [head] there,” Tikhonov recalled. However, because of technical problems, he did not manage to send a photograph and Bourn's statement to the media, so Tikhonov returned home with Trofem. The next day, he threw his head to the administration of the Mozhaisk district of Moscow.
Alexander Parinov was supposed to participate in the murder of lawyer Stanislav Markelov, who tried to hold him and Tikhonov accountable for the murder of Alexander Ryukhin. Parinov did not take part in the surveillance of Markelov, because, according to Tikhonov, “physical data did not allow him to be in the cold for a long time” - the neo -Nazi was sick with hepatitis C. “But it was assumed that Korshunov helps to survive, and I and Parinov, that is, those to whom Markelov passed the road,” explained Tikhonov.
In January 2009, Romanian returned to Ukraine and did not take part in the BORN activity. During the interrogation in the court in the organization of the organization, Tikhonov called him only an ordinary participant, without which the gang could do: “As for Borne ... Here the role of the personality matters - without me or Goryachev organization would not be. Without Parinov or Volkov, it would be. ”
Among the opponents of Kyiv there are also enough runaway criminals. In the summer, it became known that for the independence of the people's republics, a member of the competition in knife combat Sergey Ermolinsky, known under the nickname Henry, is fighting. Henry, according to investigators, participated in the activities of the Ural gang led by neo -Nazi Vasily Fedorovich. In total, in the criminal case of Fedorovich’s gang, there are 14 episodes of murders and five attempts on murder. Now Yermolinsky is on the international wanted list. For help in his capture, a reward of 1 million rubles was announced.
Also, Mikhail Konstantinov, a former sniper-volunteer who fought on the side of the LPR, was put on the international wanted list. According to the investigation, Konstantinov shot two police officers in the suburbs on November 2. DPS officers detained him for a drunken ride. Whether he returned to the territory of the so -called Lugansk Republic is unknown.
In a neighboring DPR, a 32-year-old resident of Cherepovets, who was convinced in absentia convicted of transportation and storage of A and storage, is currently fighting.
Romanians are mentioned in the materials of the wiretapping, which was conducted in the ranging apartment of Tikhonov and Hasis shortly before their arrest. In conversations among themselves, they call Parinov “Vadik”.
From the wiretap, it follows that back in the fall of 2009, Vadik took an active part in the life and intrigues of Moscow neo -Nazis. Discussing Tikhonov’s concert of the Kolovrat group, which was supposed to be held on Bolotnaya Square on November 4, Hasis complains: “Vadik again in the morning something ******* [Borzel]. ********, ******** [Borzeet, greyhound]. ... As a result, Vadik set up a pear (the famous Ukrainian fan-neonacist-MZ) against the "Russian image". The pear raised in Ukraine Kipish that he was against the participation of the "Russian image" as an organizer.
Also during the conversations, Xasis is worried that the law enforcement agencies probably know where Parinov disappeared, and through him they can go out on them with Tikhonov: “[Pro] Vadika knows that he is in Ukraine, I tell you again. His father is still not a father, but a stepfather, he told his mother that he was in Lviv. "
“Well, in general, in fact, to shock the movement now - there is so much noise that Vadik is now in Ukraine,” she adds.
In the summer of 2009, through Kostom Africa, one native of OB-88-Nikita Tikhonov handed Parinov to Ukraine a Pistol “TT” with ammunition. Tikhonov explained to the investigators: “Alexander Parinov needed a gun, because, as he say, he was wanted, he was on the run. And in a word, he could come in handy. ” Romanians on Skype confirmed the receipt of the parcel.
Five years later, in November 2014, a trial began in Moscow over four Bourn participants, one of which, Mikhail Volkov, was also hiding in Ukraine, but they were able to calculate and catch it there. The lawyer of the Agora Association Ilnur Sharapov, who represents the interests of the victims in the case, believes that Volkov because of his family and children was not easy to hide: “Volkova, who was easier to find and catch-he had a wife and family, he worked, and Parinov, obviously, is easier to hide and he knows how to do it better.” Sharapov doubts that in today's political situation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine will seriously search and issue Parinov to Russian colleagues, despite all the evidence denouncing his testimony.
