They will never catch up

As attackers of opposition and ordinary citizens leave the crime sections

On the night of August 30, on the ex-prophetic art of Moscow business, Yegor Zhukov’s policy attacked at the entrance of his house in Moscow. As a result, Zhukov received numerous abrasions and head injury (the day after the incident, the metropolitan police opened a criminal case on the beatings under Article 116 of the Criminal Code). According to eyewitnesses, politics beat two “titles”, which disappeared on scooters. The New Gazeta recalls the history of attacks and tells how the attackers are usually hidden from the scene of the crime.

ATV

On Monday, in Tatarstan, the FBK employee Georgy Alburov and his film crew attacked unknown people. During the filming of the investigation, the pursuit began for FBK employees: two ATVs blocked their way. A car rented by the crew was also damaged. Later it turned out that the guards of the object, which was supposed to appear in the investigation, tried to prevent the filming. As a result, Alburov called the traffic police, but at that time one of the chasers wrote a statement that the crew “violating his private life”. After that, according to Alburov, police officers and the Investigative Committee came to the scene. As part of the pre -investigation, the security forces examined the car and seized all the equipment from the FBK employees.

Scooter and ATV - far from the most unusual vehicles for criminals. Most of all, roller skates are highlighted in this list. It was on them, for example, that the killers of the plastic surgeon Yevgeny Laputin disappeared. The attack on Laputin occurred in September 2005. In the evening, two young people on roller skates drove up to the entrance of the house on Ostozhenka in which the surgeon was located. One of them caused a laputin several stab wounds, then the unknown people disappeared. After this, the doctor was taken to the Sklifosovsky Research Institute, where they tried to save his life for four hours in the operating room. Despite the efforts of doctors, Laputin did not survive the attack. His murder has not yet been disclosed.

Motorbike

High -profile stories associated with motorcyclists appear much less often in Russia. But it was on the motorcycle that the “Titles” hid, who attacked the observer of Echo of Moscow and Novaya Gazeta Yulia Latynin. On August 20, 2016, two unknown people approached Julia on Arbat when she was heading for the Echo of Moscow studio, and poured feces on her. After that, the attackers left. Despite the fact that four years have passed since the incident, the attackers have not been discovered. Moreover, others followed this provocation: in 2017, unknown people set fire to a journalist’s car and sprayed her house in Peredelkino with a caustic chemical composition. As a result of the last incident, eight people were injured, including two children of 5 and 9 years and four people of retirement age.

Bike

A bicycle is a fairly light and mobile vehicle, often street robbers work on it. However, on greats, not only small thefts are performed. In 2008, in Makhachkala, a bicycle attacked police officers who guarded the approaches to the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic. On that day, an unknown cyclist literally shot a police outfit from the machine gun, standing at the post almost under the windows of the building of the department. As a result of the attack, police Kemal Ragadinov and Magomed Vakhidov died: both were injured incompatible with life. In addition to lawyers, several more people were injured. The cyclist tried to escape from the scene of the crime, but was killed by the Fire of the Patrolum, who set off in pursuit.

Car

The most banal vehicle on this list is the car. It is the most popular. The attackers of Alexei Navalny and FBK employees in 2017 were hidden by cars. Recall that in March of that year, the opposition was doused with greening in Barnaul at the entrance to the building in which the politician opened his election headquarters.

After the incident, the attacker ran away, got into the car and disappeared. According to Sergei Boyko, at that time the coordinator of the campaign of Alexei Navalny in Western Siberia, the politicians managed to record the number of the attacker’s car and promptly filed an application with the police. At the same time, as Navalny claimed, the car on which the attacker hid in Barnaul later drove into the courtyard of the regional administration.

On their two

Often the attackers from the scene of the crime ran away (subsequently, perhaps transplanting into the car). This happened in the event of an attack on the activist of Open Russia Sergey Ivanov. According to him, when he returned home from a lecture held at the local headquarters of Navalny, in the entrance he was attacked by a man in black clothes and with a scarf covering his face. The attacker unexpectedly inflicted several strokes in his face and ran away. According to the victim, the criminal also treated his face with an unknown substance. At the same time, the attacker did not take a video camera hanging on Ivanov’s neck and a bag that was in his hands.

The offenders ran away in more high -profile stories. In 2016, the poisoner of the anthropologist and husband FBK Lyubov Sobol Sergey Mokhov disappeared from the scene of the crime. In November of that year, when Mokhov approached the entrance of his own house, the young man stuck a syringe into his thigh with unknown liquid. Mokhov managed to call his wife, asked her to cause an ambulance and lost consciousness. Later, there was a video of the attack at the disposal of Life: the record shows that an anthropologist was attacked by a man in a blue jacket with a bouquet of flowers. Having said literally one phrase (“nothing personal”) during the attack, the attacker ran away.
