The Donetsk People's Republic knows its heroes:

Dikiy Aleksey Alexandrovich - the leader of the gang, call sign “wild” (general of the DPR, confidant of Zakharchenko, organized armed seizures of state institutions under his leadership, the gang has about 50 militants, on his personal order they shoot prisoners, controls drug trafficking in the DPR, car thefts, robberies, kidnappings for ransom, controlled former first Deputy Minister Dubovik),

Sheptura ( right hand Dykogo - organized the executions of prisoners of war and captured Ukrainian police officers), Akimov (member of the gang - participated in sabotage activities against the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Takes part in the battles for the DPR), Tishchenko Sergey (active member of the gang, marauder, gunner for robbery attacks, carried out at least 4 sentences in the name of the DPR, freely moves to the territory of Ukraine), Bibikov (head of internal security of the MGB DPR, kickbacks, squeezes, hijacking cars and drug protection),

Tereshchuk (an active member of the gang, is responsible for the agents, has his own informants, pays for the information provided through private money, the main agents in the UBNON GUMVD), Timoshkins (Timoshkin brothers, marauders, protecting brothels, exchange offices, tipsters for robbery attacks of apartments and offices, there are facts rape of minors)

Gukaev (member of the gang, responsible for the economy of the Ministry of State Security, develops schemes for wealthy citizens, is responsible for squeezing and re-registering businesses) Sevastyanov “Seva” (member of the gang, target intelligence officer, collecting information on current police officers of Ukraine, gunner on searches and robberies) And that's just the beginning of the list...

On September 10, information appeared about the alleged arrest and placement under house arrest of the “minister” of the self-proclaimed DPR, former head of the UBOP in the Donetsk region, Alexei Diky.

Why so-called. “Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR” Alexei Diky will not be arrested soon, a journalist from the occupied territory Nikita Sinitsin said on his Facebook page.

Actually, the next day, September 11, this information was refuted, however, according to the words of the head of the self-proclaimed DNR, Alexander Zakharchenko, and not the “minister” himself. But as my sources say, Aleksei Dikiy was indeed not detained and this will most likely not happen soon, at least on the territory of the self-proclaimed DPR.

According to my source, the “minister of internal affairs” of the DPR belongs to the so-called “Enakievo business group”, which, among the numerous groups and groups of influence in the self-proclaimed “republic”, stands out for 2 characteristic features:

1) its representatives are mostly near-criminal and openly criminal personalities of the times of Viktor Yanukovych, one way or another tied to Yenakiyevo, Gorlovka and a number of other cities;

2) the group defiantly eschews politics and has no political interests, focusing solely on business. If, however, the interests of business imply connection to the issue of some political connections, the group prefers to get in touch with representatives of the local "authority" where they have business interests. In any case, this is how things are in Gorlovka.

Since the local “authorities” in the DPR are appointed by Alexander Zakharchenko and are controlled by him, it is clear that their contact with representatives of the “Enakievo business group” is sanctioned “at the top” and the group itself enjoys a certain disposition of Zakharchenko himself and pays him loyalty, as well as a “share” » in business profits.

At the same time, the group is in a state of continuous, sometimes hidden, sometimes splashing into the public plane, conflict with the ex-commander of the Vostok battalion Alexander Khodakovsky. When the ex-battalion commander of the "Vostok" declares the dominance of crime in the DPR, the return of the authorities of the Yanukovych era to the republic, he means precisely the "Enakievo business group."

As for Aleksey Diky, as my sources say, his entry into the “republican” party, and therefore, to some extent, his current position, he owes it to the representatives of the “Enakievo business group” with whom he met even before 2014 in the field of protecting drug trafficking and illegal gambling business. In fact, he still oversees these same areas.

Also, if you believe the ex-commandant of Gorlovka from the self-proclaimed DPR, Igor Bezler, a quitrent is collected from the city police departments in the DPR in favor of the “minister”, for example, in Horlivka, each of the 3 regional departments must transfer 150 thousand Russian rubles (60 thousand hryvnias) to the city administration every week and the lion's share of the 450 thousand rubles collected in this way goes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR.

But, perhaps, most of all I remember Alexei wild representatives private security business in the self-proclaimed DPR, when in May 2015 he demanded to pay him 70% of the company's income. Yes, that's income, not profit. Thus, the business, of course, could not exist purely physically, and soon the private security business in the DPR was covered with a copper basin.

On June 20, 2017, in Yalta (through Interpol), the ex-battalion commander of the "DNR", forty-six-year-old Vadim Pogodin, call sign "Kerch", was detained. The Yalta City Court arrested him "to ensure the possibility of extradition to law enforcement agencies of Ukraine." Pogodin is accused not just of murder, but of commanding the execution of sixteen-year-old schoolboy Stepan Chubenko.

On July 23, 2014, Styopa was detained in Donetsk (which had already been occupied) because a blue-and-yellow ribbon was noticed on the backpack of a tenth grader, and among the belongings they found a scarf of the Karpaty football club - that was enough. Home, in Kramatorsk, Styopa never returned.

"Kerch" (Pogodin), Buba (Sukhomlinov), Zhora (Moskalev)

From the protocol of interrogation of one of the witnesses of the crime

“Next to the checkpoint, perpendicular to the road, defensive lines were built in the form of trenches. At the same time, the fighters of the “Kerch” battalion carried out a checkpoint… I witnessed how Pogodin, Moskalev and Sukhomlinov shot an underage boy Stepan Chubenko at a checkpoint located on the road to the village of Mospino. I spoke about this fact in more detail in another criminal proceeding.

Immediately after the deprivation of the life of this guy, Pogodin gave an order in a military manner to a militant named Medved, who served at the indicated checkpoint, so that the latter would organize the burial of Chubenko. I left the village of Gorbachevo-Mikhailovka because I began to fear for my life.”

Gorbachevo-Mikhailovka, execution village

- Do you know who the main engine of the investigation is? Styopa's mother, - says Colonel Igor Novoseltsev. - Persistent. Because so many people disappeared and disappeared - everything, with the ends. And against the children a great wave of violence rose. Before the war, I don’t remember anything like this in the Donbass, but I’ve been in the criminal investigation department since 1993.

Novoseltsev is a senior investigator for the disclosure of crimes against the person of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the Donetsk region. He and his current leader, a longtime colleague, Colonel Artem Vasitsky, plus a group of security officials with lower ranks, “came out” to Kramatorsk in the fall of 2014. Sounds like "get out of the way". Many of those with whom they served (like the former head of the Donetsk Organized Crime Control Department by the name of Dikiy, now the “Minister of the Interior of the DPR”), it turned out that they had been waiting for Russia all their lives.

By that time, Kramatorsk was already in a state of "after the war": 77 missing, 87 unidentified corpses. A small detachment of Girkin-Strelkov captured and for almost three months kept at bay the city, where only in the police there were up to five thousand employees, not counting the SBU department, two prosecutor's offices and the military commandant's office located at the local airfield, where, in addition, special forces were stationed.

- I don’t know who Styopa’s mother used to turn to. I saw her in Vasitsky's office, - Novoseltsev recalls, - I stayed to listen.

How the parents spent several months looking for their son “behind the roadblocks”, obtained the terrible truth from the “People's Republic”, survived the identification of the body, did not go crazy while the forensic examination dragged on, brought home in a plastic bag that native, which was now called the remains - to bury ...

In a criminal case initiated in the territory controlled by Ukraine,

one of the witnesses voluntarily decided to help the investigation - to remove the stone from the soul. He watched the execution in Gorbachevo-Mikhailovka from beginning to end, but knew the killers only by nicknames: Kerch, Zhora, buba. Their surnames and other information that irrefutably confirms their identities were established by Styopa's parents themselves, who monitored around the clock social media and sites like Russian Spring.

Photos of "Kerch" (Pogodin), Zhora (Moskalev) and Buba (Sukhomlinov) were also found in abundance.

The witness identified everyone and later came to Kramatorsk, since Gorbachevo-Mikhailovka is still under the control of the “DPR”, to conduct an investigative experiment - a reconstruction of the events he saw: how Styopa was executed in broad daylight.

- They kicked me while I was sitting, bound, under the commandant's office. The teeth were knocked out. They took me to the river bank. Their hands were tied behind their backs with scotch tape, a T-shirt over their heads. They took off his sneakers before the execution, looters. "Kerch" shot in the back of the head. There were five shots in total... Enough details... - my interlocutor closes the notebook.

Mom was given a confrontation with a witness. She heard much more, including the phrase: “I'm sorry I didn't save your son…” She found more eyewitnesses who, after doubts, agreed, despite their fear, to testify in court. None of the inhabitants of Gorbachevo-Mikhailovka dared to recapture the boy from the bandits. The case went to trial in November 2015.

In the "DPR", on the personal instructions of the head of the self-proclaimed republic Zakharchenko, the crime was also investigated. And they found the same people - Pogodin, Moskalev, Sukhomlinov.

Moskalev was even detained and interrogated. Novaya Gazeta has a record of this interrogation at its disposal.

from the protocol of interrogation of Moskalev ("Zhora")

“... at the end of July 2014, Pogodin V.V. arrived in the village of Gor-bachevo-Mikhailovka, who ordered the servicemen of the Kerch unit to deliver S.V. Chubenko to him. Then Pogodin V.V., without sufficient grounds suspecting Chubenko S.The. participation in the Ukrainian organization "Right Sector" [ from the editor: ], considering the latter involved in the burning in Odessa on May 2, 2014 of the participants of the Anti-Maidan, as well as political and ideological views different from his (Pogodin V.V.), contrary to the ideas of building the Donetsk People's Republic, decided to deliberately kill the minor Chubenko S.V.

To fulfill these criminal purposes, he attracted servicemen of the “Kerch” unit of Sukhomlinov M.V. and Moskaleva Yew.A., who were informed that Chubenko C.The. is a member of the Right Sector organization [ from the editor: the organization was recognized as extremist and banned in Russia] <...>, for which Chubenko S.V. should be shot.<...>

Sukhomlinov M.V.<...>, being on the edge of the trench, fired a shot at the back of the head of a minor Chubenko S.V., who was on his knees in the trench with his hands tied behind his back. Given that after the shot Chubenko S.V. showed signs of life, Pogodin V.V. took a pistol from Sukhomlinov and fired at least four more shots into the occipital region of S.V. Chubenko’s head, from which he died on the spot.

Then Pogodin gave an order to Yu.A. Moskalev, who was nearby. (in order to conceal the traces of the crime) to bury the corpse of Chubenko S.V.”

Pogodin, Moskalev and Sukhomlinov were accused of murder committed by a group of people motivated by ideological hatred, the court ruled to place them in custody. But in April 2015, the “DPR” prosecutor’s office reported in an official letter: “The actual location of these persons has not been established.”

Moskalev was nevertheless caught in the "DNR". He convinced the judges that he personally did not shoot. Styopa's mother offered to write a statement: I demand, they say, compensation for moral and material damage. “I want to plow on a life sentence, and transfer money to the Antoshka orphanage, over which Styopa patronized!” she replied.

The accused served a short term and fled from the Donbass to his homeland, to Chuvashia. According to my information, Moskalev was arrested in Cheboksary on an Interpol "red card" - in international wanted list all three murderers of Stepan were filed by Ukraine. Extradition, due to unknown reasons, did not happen, and Zhora was released into the wild.

Buba (Sukhomlinov) "got lost" in Russia shortly after the crime was committed, and nothing is known about him until now.

Colonel Novoseltsev perfectly remembers the ringleader, “Kerch” (Pogodin), who was arrested in the Crimea and was convicted several times from peaceful Donetsk:

- Bespredelschik, but with connections at the top. Do you understand? The UBOP detained him several times, the SBU led him - he twisted every time.

And the Kerch battalion disbanded, destroyed 16-year-old Stepan Chubenko with his martyrdom.

Steel

Stalin Chubenko. Photo by Olga Musafirova

Stepan's mother's name is Stalin.

“And this name is a derivative of the word “steel”, “steel”, that is, strong, and not from what you thought,” she retorts.

Husband Victor, tall, stately, addresses his wife "Stalechka". She teaches Russian language and literature at the school where Styopa studied. A native of Magadan, in Kramatorsk since her marriage - since the early nineties. A citizen of Russia, in Ukraine has a permanent residence permit. When the whole country learned about what happened thanks to the media, the young man was posthumously awarded the title of People's Hero of Ukraine (there is such a non-state order established by volunteers), and the Foreign Ministry asked why Stalin did not accept Ukrainian citizenship.

- No one in Donbass ever harassed me with a Russian passport until they came and “protected”. Let them know that there are Russians who also love Ukraine, but they don’t renounce their homeland even now,” she replied.

I spent two days and two nights at Chubenko's house. They told me about Styopa in the present tense, without tears, they showed me a video (my mother sorted through the archives on the computer).

Here is the goalkeeper of the local Avangard (a great football future, according to coaches, talent plus determination) under New Year asks Santa Claus for new knee pads and gloves, slyly indicating the store and the price in the postcard (the family lives very poorly). Santa Claus promises to think: “In the meantime, dear Styopa, I’m putting a spelling dictionary under the Christmas tree so that you don’t upset me with mistakes.” The tradition of home "skewers" and other wall newspapers - who else has such cool parents! - transferred to the city KVN team created by Stepan.

He is engaged in Greco-Roman wrestling, reads Simonov’s military poems at the competition, composes songs and “Plan for the development of youth football in the Donetsk region”, independent and free beyond his years - headache teachers who like quiet "average" children, a favorite of girls, a nanny for kids in the yard, a fighter for justice ...

We would like to think: Styopka was shot a few days earlier than it is believed. And he suffered less,” says Stalin.

Parents walked through the summer heat of Gorbachevo-Mikhailovka with a photograph of their missing son; in Donetsk they were not allowed to go on television. "And for whom do you have it?" the locals were interested. And hiding behind fences. The soldiers of the battalion "Kerch" loved just like that, for fun, to shoot over their heads. Some “militia” took pity: “I remember this guy. He was given a choice: fight with us or ... (pause) dig trenches for a long time. Then they began to lie about the mortar attack, in which all the "robocops" (as the prisoners were called) fled.

Russian citizenship helped the mother get through to an appointment with Zakharchenko. He promised to help. Soon Chubenko was informed: unfortunately, Stepan is no longer among the living. The members of the firing squad were identified. The youth's passport was returned. They said that he was accused of being associated with the "Right Sector" [ from the editor: the organization was recognized as extremist and banned in Russia] and that he burned people in the Odessa House of Trade Unions ...

“For Teacher's Day,” Stalin clarifies.

“My wife’s hysteria,” Victor shared with me, “happened only once. She found spiritual consolation in faith: with God, everyone is alive. And then I tore off the cross from my chest and threw it under the bed.

Look into the eyes of the killers

I'm watching a pre-war video. Styopa walks at the head of a small group of football fans with blue and yellow flags. Faces are covered with scarves or medical masks, like the guys on the Maidan in Kyiv. They chant “Kramatorsk tse Ukraine!”, “Glory to the heroes!”. Between them and passers-by is not a street, but an abyss ... It is useless to convince and argue. During shelling, he helps elderly neighbors down into the basement-bomb shelter.

The mother is trying to separate the war from the son. He goes with him to Russia, to put in order the grandmother's grave. Stepan can’t stand it, he returns before the deadline: “I’m not a rat to hide. Ukraine is in danger!” A risky confession in a city where even some teachers from their home school were campaigning for a separatist referendum.

Stalina has a folder with appeals to various authorities, which help her to make sure that the killers are brought to justice. Still wants to look them in the eye. She achieved the almost impossible - official certificates from the State Border Committee of Ukraine and from a similar Russian department. The dates of crossing the state Russian-Ukrainian border "there" and "back" exclude the very possibility of Stepan Chubenko visiting Odessa on the day of the well-known tragedy. General Antyufeev, who portrayed in the "DPR" the Deputy Prime Minister for work with the power bloc, the head of the military police Anosov, the then Minister of Defense Strelkov, Deputy Minister of Defense Berezin did not give answers to his mother's letters.

The Ukrainian Ombudsman Lutkovskaya is also silent. The trial of “correspondence students” Pogodin, Moskalev and Sukhomlinov in the city of Toretsk (according to the law, the process is carried out in a place as close as possible to where the crime was committed) has been in an inactive phase for two years. Meetings are constantly canceled: either the judge is in the deliberation room on another case, or the prosecutor did not come, or the defendants' lawyers.

From the office of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Chaika (Chubenko wrote Stalin there in 2015), an explanation was received regarding the extradition. According to the law, a private person, that is, the mother of a murdered person, cannot be extradited an accused person who was detained through Interpol, and the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine had not yet applied on this issue. In the second appeal (dated 07/17/2017), Chubenko reminded: Moskalev, who was detained in Russia, has already been released, Pogodin, who is now in the Simferopol pre-trial detention center, is also being bothered. The answer has not yet come.

Colleagues of "Kerch" recorded several video messages in which they stated that Pogodin was awaiting trial for being a militia. The name of Stepan Chubenko was not mentioned by anyone.

A call not to extradite "Kerch" was made by former minister Defense "DPR" Igor Strelkov. After his appeal, a number of Crimean and federal media published materials with a common message: the “hero of Novorossiya” should not be extradited. The State Duma of the Russian Federation joined in: deputies Dmitry Belik and Sergey Shargunov said they would do everything possible so that the “defender of Donbass” did not end up in the hands of Kyiv. And on July 17, the head of the Union of Volunteers of Donbass, Alexander Boroday, in an interview with the Novorossiya news agency, said that the extradition of Vadim Pogodin to Ukraine would not take place.

...Together with Stalin, I went to the Kramatorsk city prosecutor's office. We were received by First Deputy Prosecutor Yaroslav Kosenkov and rightly reminded me as a journalist: he has no right to give any comments, all through the press service.

After Stalin’s visit, she returned home and posted on Facebook an open appeal to the authorities and society: “A package of materials has been prepared in the city prosecutor’s office of Kramatorsk, on the basis of which it is necessary to request the extradition of Pogodin to Ukraine, but so far the prosecutor’s office of Kramatorsk has not received an official appeal from the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine, as required by the procedure. Accordingly, the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine has not yet applied to the Crimean authorities on the issue of extradition. I believe that the problem is that in the official request, the GPU does not know how to name the occupying authorities of Crimea, which they should contact. But I am sure that this cannot be a reason for the work done by the investigators to turn out to be in vain and for justice not to prevail ... If the necessary actions are not reproduced within a day, I will be forced to turn to the Ukrainian and foreign press and start protest action near the walls of the General Prosecutor's Office.

The post became a bestseller. Stalin was called by journalists, Rada deputies, representatives of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine.

Last Friday, Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yevgeny Enin publicly announced that he had applied to the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation with a request to extradite Vadim Pogodin, who brutally murdered Styopa Chubenko. "Zrady" ( betrayal. —Ed.) No, Yenin warned. international conventions and the practice of courts of supranational jurisdiction testify to the obligation of states to implement legal cooperation, even if they are at war and occupy parts of their territories.

"You can judge in Russia"

Most of Vadim Pogodin's associates, having heard the name of Chubenko, refuse to communicate. Some immediately hang up, others call the case “fictitious”, say that it is possible to judge “Kerch” in Russia, and then they say goodbye.

State Duma deputy Dmitry Belik forwarded to the editorial office a response from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs to his appeal in defense of Pogodin: “In the database of the General Secretariat of Interpol, a citizen of Ukraine Vadim Pogodin, 01/16/1971, has been on the wanted list since 2015 for the purpose of arrest and extradition at the initiative of law enforcement authorities of Ukraine for committing a murder in July 2014.

At present, the Prosecutor General's Office Russian Federation an extradition check is underway in the case of Pogodin.

Novaya Gazeta applied to the prosecutor's office with a request to allow our correspondent to have a short meeting with Vadim Pogodin in order to find out his position on the charges. Until now (the appeal was filed on July 18) the issue is under consideration.

In the open access reports of the DPR police, from which you can get an idea of ​​​​what is happening in the territory occupied by the separatists. A significant increase in the number of murders, massive robberies and car thefts in plain sight, kidnappings by unidentified machine gunners, rape of children - all this is meticulously documented by local law enforcement officials. The Insider studied the police reports and tried to reconstruct a picture of what is happening in the region from them.

Take for example one of the latest reports for June 24th. It's a good day, only one murder, only one kidnapping and one robbery - less than usual. Here is a summary of one of the most typical crimes in the DPR, a kidnapping, in which unknown persons in camouflage stole the victim’s car at the same time:

ST. 174 Part 2 of the Criminal Code of the DPR.

The feeling of complete impunity leads to the most egregious cases. Here is an excerpt from the June 19 summary:

In this case, the girl has not even turned 10 yet. Of course, such terrible crimes occur in all countries. But not with the same frequency. A day earlier, in the reports we find two more rapes, one of which was against a 13-year-old girl:

And here is also from the June reports, but this time we are talking about an eight-year-old boy:

GRABOVSKY'S HOUSE **, RAPEED BY A STUDENT OF THE EIGHTH CLASS OF A MINER'S BOARDING HOUSE WHILE STUDYING IN THE BOARDING HOUSE BUILDING. ST. 133 of the Criminal Code of the DPR

When evaluating these reports, it should be borne in mind that in the conditions of a military conflict, people are less willing to turn to law enforcement. Even in peacetime the victims sexual abuse rarely write statements to the authorities, so you can imagine how much more the real number of rapes in the DNR.

Among the police reports there are reports of "unauthorized rallies." The local population does not seem to be enthusiastic about the way the DPR is pursuing social policy.

Rally unsanctioned

city ​​of Shakhtersk

KUSP 1387 R

ON JUNE 15, AT 3:40 PM, AN UNKNOWN APPEALED TO GO THAT JUNE 15, AT 3:15 PM IN THE CITY OF SHAKHTERSK, ON STR. LENINA, IN THE AREA OF THE "CENTRAL RING", UNKNOWN WOMEN IN THE NUMBER OF ABOUT 30 PEOPLE BLOCKED THE ROADWAY WITH DEMANDS ON SOCIAL PAYMENT OF CHILD BENEFITS. THE ROADWAY WAS LOCKED FOR 20 MIN. TRAFFIC IS RESUMED AT THE MOMENT.

In conditions when "people in camouflage" do whatever they want with the local population, the willingness to go to an unauthorized rally looks like a bold step. It seems that some locals believe that they already have nothing to lose.

About what is in social sphere everything is bad, they also say this kind of messages:

Murder

Proletarsky district of Donetsk

ZHRZSP 1613 N/R

ON MAY 4 AT 5:00 PM KOZLOVA LYUDMILA ANATOLYEVNA, 1973, RESIDENT: DONETSK STREET OF OCTOBER 17, WAS APPEARED TO THE RO, THAT ON MAY 4, AT 5:00 PM, THE NEIGHBOR'S WIFE KILLED HER UNDERAGE CHILD AND INJURED HERSELF. ST. 106 of the Criminal Code of the DPR.

The reports of the DPR police posted today reflect, but do not explain the overall picture of what is happening. Where does such a surge of lawlessness come from in conditions when hostilities have practically ceased and nothing is preventing the self-proclaimed authorities from enforcing law and order?

Someone may refer to the fact that the Donetsk region has always been the most criminal region of Ukraine. There is some truth in this: in terms of the number of serious crimes, primarily intentional murders and robberies, the Donetsk region was far ahead of other regions (both in absolute numbers and in relation to the population). Law enforcement officers in last years reported a decrease in crime: if in 2010 357 murders were reported, and in 2011 about , then in 2012 only 292 murders were officially registered, and in 2013 - , but this was still more than in any of the other areas.

Here is a map of serious crimes in Ukraine for 2012 by region:

And here is the map of crimes against life and health in proportion to the number of inhabitants:

In other words, crime in the Donetsk region has always been high, and yet it is incomparable with the current level. As we can see, according to the statistics of the Ukrainian police, in the Donetsk region before the war there was less than 1 murder per day. Since the DPR is only part of the Donetsk region, killings should occur even less often there (especially given the decline in population due to the mass departure of civilians). But judging by the opened documents, we see the opposite - from 1 to 9 murders occur daily (about 3 on average), all this, not counting the missing and found corpses, where the cause of death could not be established. Thus, the statistics on serious crimes has increased several times. It is also important what exactly these crimes are. Abduction of people in broad daylight by people in camouflage uniforms, rape of children, robbery attacks (again - in daylight in crowded places). Crimes have become more cynical and open.

This trend is not surprising, given how many people with a criminal record are in the camp of the militias. It becomes even less surprising given the fact that these individuals occupy significant positions in the government. So, for example, in May, Colonel Sergei Velikorodny, a Russian hiding from the investigation and accused of committing a crime under Article 159 Part 4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, became the Deputy Minister of Defense of the DPR. Immediately after this became known, the Moscow police department removed information about his search from its website. And indeed, how can you look for someone whose location is well known.

In the unrecognized republic, the process of replacing the leaders of the "wave of 2014" with officials with experience, who in the pre-war period were closely associated with the Party of Regions or have family ties with top officials, has begun.

Castling in the "power structures" of the self-proclaimed "Donetsk People's Republic" occurs regularly. In addition to the struggle for control over resource and financial flows, a sluggish political theater is visible there, which results in a series of constant dismissals of the so-called "ministers" and the creation of the appearance of changes in power. In addition, there is a clear process of replacing the leaders of the “wave of 2014” with officials with experience who in the pre-war period were closely associated with the Party of Regions or have family ties with the leaders of the “republic”.

There is very little information about some of the “republican” appointees, but we tried to clearly show who sits in the “powerful” offices of the “DPR”, as well as tell about some interesting facts and intricacies of their biographies.

About Russian managers

Assistant to the President of Russia Vladislav Surkov has long been considered the main curator of the militants in Donbass. However, in early November 2015, information appeared in the information space of the separatists that those responsible for economic and ideological issues in the self-proclaimed “republics” were withdrawn from Donetsk and returned to Moscow. Former militant of the "DPR army" Alexander Zhuchkovsky, who is now supplying "militias" to the front and is well aware of the "imperious" vicissitudes in the "DPR", wrote the following on his Facebook page:

“Today, all curators in the LDNR have been fired. I don’t know for sure about Surkov yet (although they report that he was removed from the Ukrainian direction), but all the performers and “watchers” were taken out of the game. Let's see if new people come and who it will be."

In February 2016, new information appeared that Surkov was still in control of the situation in Donetsk. The SBU said that he visited the occupied Donetsk from inspections and heard "reports" from the leaders of the "DPR".

The position of the Kremlin curator of the "Russian spring" in the "DPR" after Surkov was attributed to the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Kozak. The German publication Bild in its recent investigation confirmed that Kozak is now part of the so-called “shadow government of the DPR”, which controls finances, taxes, the restoration of infrastructure and industry, the creation of an electricity market, energy trade and so on.

An attempt to become the curator of the occupied territories of the Donetsk region was made by eminence grise Russian politics, Vyacheslav Volodin, First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Russia, who has been in conflict with Vladislav Surkov for a long time. However, he never managed to consolidate his position in the vacant position, therefore, he was assigned an insignificant role in the humanitarian supply of the “DPR”.

Head of the "DNR"

Oleksandr Zakharchenko is one of the organizers of Oplot, an association of the Kharkiv anti-Maidan, formed in January 2014. Six months later, it turned into an illegal armed formation of the "DPR". In the spring of 2014 Oplot secured the building of the Donetsk City Council. And a little later, she actively participated in the battles with the Ukrainian security forces in Slavyansk, Gorlovka and Donetsk. On August 8, 2014, Zakharchenko replaced the Moscow PR man Alexander Boroday as the prime minister of the “DPR”. The latter explained his resignation by saying that the “DPR” should be led not by a “native Muscovite”, but by a “native Donetsk resident”, such as Zakharchenko.

“I am not leaving the Republic. I will take the post of general adviser to the prime minister in the status of deputy prime minister, ”he said at a press conference. True, since then, Borodai has not been seen on the territory of the “DPR”.

In November 2014, Zakharchenko was elected "Head of the Donetsk People's Republic".

According to the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, today the head of the “DPR” has approximately four to five thousand fighters, and also controls most of the liquid assets of Donetsk and adjacent cities. The newspaper found out that Zakharchenko was also involved in marketing oil products, where until recently the decisive word belonged to Sergei Kurchenko, one of the oligarchs close to Alexander Yanukovych.

In addition to Zakharchenko, Maxim Leshchenko, the head of the “head office of the head of the DPR”, is also at the helm of the “DPR”. In any case, Alexander Khodakovsky, a well-known militant and creator of the Vostok battalion, is sure of this. On March 5, 2016, in his LiveJournal blog, he called Leshchenko "the shadow head of the republic" and Rinat Akhmetov's protégé.

“These Rinatov proteges have already flooded everything. "Bream" hates all of Zakhar's entourage, but Moscow does not allow him to be removed - there is a movie with Rinat ", - Khodakovsky quotes his source of information, surrounded by the so-called "head of the DPR" Alexander Zakharchenko. “This pack needs to be removed, otherwise Zakharchenko will turn into a front sign, if he has not already turned: any head of the administration will not follow a single instruction from Zakharchenko until he consults with Leshchenko. Quickly the guy got a taste, and not only for power. The fighter of the unit guarding Leshchenko and his house showed where this fruit settled: a huge mansion in the city center, a bunch of guards., — wrote Khodakovsky.

"People's Council of the DPR"

Unlike Alexander Zakharchenko, Denis Pushilinne has his own army, and the attitude towards him in the ranks of the militants is ambiguous. Despite this, he manages to occupy a prominent place in the separatist hierarchy as the chairman of the “People’s Council of the DPR”, which, based on the “constitution of the republic”, is the representative and sole legislative body of the “state power”.

Pushilin took office thanks to a "coup d'état in the republic" - this is how the separatist media described the forced resignation of Andrei Purgin, who headed the "People's Council" before Pushilin. By the way, Purgin was dismissed in a rather strange way: on September 4, 2015, at an extraordinary session of the so-called “People’s Council of the DPR”, convened on the initiative of Alexander Zakharchenko, he was removed from his post by 60 votes. Some of the “deputies” supporting Purgin were removed from voting, and his wife was detained “for a conversation”.

Most likely, such a reshuffle occurred due to the struggle for power between the above-mentioned curators of the "DPR" Surkov and Volodin. OstroV's sources reported that Denis Pushilin was always considered a person from the zone of influence of Vladislav Surkov, and Purgin was Volodin's favorite.

"Supreme Court of the DPR"

Chairman " Supreme Court"DPR" is the Russian Eduard Yakubovsky. There is very little information about him. It is known that earlier he served as the “Prosecutor General of the DPR”, and before that he worked as a senior forensic investigator of the Main Directorate of Criminalistics of the Investigative Committee of Russia. Yakubovsky was one of the supporters of the fact that the work of "internal affairs agencies and courts" in the self-proclaimed "republic" was based on the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation.

"Council of Ministers of the DPR"

The chairman of the "Council of Ministers" is the "head" of the "DPR" Alexander Zakharchenko. Since October 2015, Dmitry Kovyrshin has been in charge of the apparatus of the “department”. In 2004, after the first Maidan in Kyiv, he was one of the organizers of the Anti-Maidan movement in Donetsk. In 2006, he worked as a merchandiser in the sales department of the Artyomovsk Champagne Winery. When the "DPR" militants occupied Donetsk, he became the commander of a platoon of armored vehicles of the "Republican Guard". Later he was elected a deputy of the "People's Council of the DPR".

"Minister of Finance" - Ekaterina Matyushchenko. One of the few who has been a member of the “DPR” government from the first day of its existence, i.e. since May 16, 2014. Even at the beginning of the military conflict in Donbass, she issued legal acts on behalf of the illegitimate “Ministry of Finance”, and also organized the collection and receipt of material assistance for the militants of the “republics”.

The Ministry of Information is headed by Elena Nikitina, a relative of Denis Pushilin (his father's sister). According to OstroV's sources, Nikitina was involved in the dismissal of the speaker of the "DPR parliament" Andrei Purgin and lobbied her nephew, thanks to a massive information support in the media controlled by it. Nikitina also made herself known by accusing Ukrainian journalists of “igniting war in Donbass,” and then promising them “her own Nuremberg Tribunal.”

Former "People's Mayor" of Slavyansk Vladimir Pavlenko took the chair of the "Minister state security» December 14, 2015, replacing Sergei Lukashevich. Before the war, Pavlenko served as head of the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Slavic City Council and was a close associate of the odious Nelya Shtepa.

Vladimir Kononov (call sign "Tsar") headed the "Ministry of Defense" on August 15, 2014. Before him, this post was held by Igor Girkin (Strelkov). According to the "republican media", the latter was "sent to another job", without further clarification. Among those close to the political elite of the "DPR" they say that both Strelkov and Kononov are people Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev.

Minister of Revenues and Duties Alexander Timofeev (callsign Tashkent). Appointed November 12, 2014. Through his first wife, he is a relative of the leader of the "DPR" Alexander Zakharchenko. It was the head of the "DPR" who made him patronage in his career. Timofeev is a co-founder of two enterprises that provide cable television services even under occupation. He also owns one of the most profitable mines in the region, which actually continues to be run by the business empire of Alexander Yanukovych - Mine im. Kiseleva. It was unofficially reported that the "minister" "nationalized" this enterprise, but later the miners discovered that in fact he reassigned the mine under his direct control.

The head of the "Ministry of Emergency Situations of the DPR" Aleksey Kostrubitsky was appointed to the post on November 12, 2014. It is known that he is a native of the city of Vasilkov, Kyiv region. His relatives, by the way, still live there. According to Vladlen Sergienko, a social activist from Vasylkiv, Kostrubitsky “married successfully” in Donetsk, thanks to which he found himself in influential circles in the Dnieper. Sergienko wrote about this on his Facebook page.

It is known about the current "Minister of Internal Affairs" Aleksey Dik that in the spring of 2014, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Arsen Avakov, appointed him to the post of head of the Organized Crime Control Department of the Donetsk region. Dyky almost immediately went over to the side of the militants, and the UBOP base became their base. However, in Kyiv they said that in this way he controls them. Soon Dyky became the profile "minister" of the DPR. In August 2015 Ukrainian and Russian media reported the arrest of Dikiy. There was no exact information about the arrest on the information resources of the separatists. OstroV's sources say there was an arrest, but information about the motives varies. Some say that the reason for the detention was the theft of money that went to the maintenance of the “DPR police”, others that he was guilty in the distribution of humanitarian aid, to which almost all the “departments” of the “DPR” are related. They also say that Diky was allegedly suspected of having links with the Ukrainian authorities. Despite the detention, Wild continues to fulfill his "ministerial" duties. However, he is rarely mentioned in the separatist media.

On May 5, 2015, Alexander Zakharchenko issued a "decree" on the appointment of Larisa Polyakova as the "Minister of Education". Previously, she was a professor in the department information technologies"Donetsk state university management". OstroV sources claim that Polyakova is the sister of the former dean of the history department of Donetsk national university Sergei Baryshnikov. In the fall of 2014, Baryshnikov was appointed rector of the Donetsk National University, but was soon fired for taking bribes. However, through his son, who works in the Russian Foreign Ministry, Baryshnikov lobbied for a bread post of a person close to him. Polyakova's predecessor, Igor Kostenok, ended up in a pre-trial detention cell on charges of embezzling humanitarian aid.

“Minister of Justice” Elena Radomskaya was a well-known Donetsk lawyer before the war. Before taking the "ministerial" chair, she was the secretary of the "central election commission of the DPR".

"Minister of Communications" Viktor Yatsenko is a native of Kherson. Previously, he was the head of the Kherson branch of the Novorossiya party.

The head of the "Ministry of Youth, Sports and Tourism" Mikhail Mishin until 2014 worked as deputy chairman of the Committee on physical education and sports of the Makeevka City Council, and became a “minister” since May 2015.

After the head of the self-proclaimed "DPR" signed a decree on the dismissal of the odose minister economic development Evgenia Samokhina, since November 18, 2015, the post of "Minister of Economic Development" has been occupied by Victoria Romanyuk, who previously was Samokhina's deputy. The reason for the dismissal of Yevgenia Samokhina from Makiivka is not clear. Sources of OstroV, who are familiar with Samokhina, say that she allegedly traveled to Kyiv several times when she was already a deputy in the DPR.

The head of the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" is Natalya Nikonorova. Appointed February 23, 2016. Previously, this position was held by Alexander Kofman. Prior to her appointment, Natalya Nikonorova worked as a lawyer for the apparatus of the “People’s Council of the DPR”, and also represented the Donetsk separatists in the contact subgroup on political issues In Minsk. In the political circles of the “republic”, Nikonorova is considered close to the head of the “people’s council” of the DPR, Denis Pushilin. Igor Strelkov openly called her "Pushilin's mistress."

In addition, the “head of the Foreign Ministry” is the daughter of the head of the “Department of Industry of the DPR” Yuri Nikonorov. Her brother Alexei Nikonorov works as deputy chairman of the People's Council of the "DPR".

Ruslan Dubovsky, Minister of Coal and Energy, is the former General Director of the Zhdanovskaya Mine Leasing Enterprise. In fact, he replaced the now dead Yevgeny Fainitsky, who was associated with the disgraced Ukrainian oligarch Sergei Kurchenko.

Larisa Tolstykina March 16, 2016 became the "Minister of Labor and social policy". Prior to her “ministry”, she headed the occupation administration of Makiivka. Her former deputy Igor Andrienko is now the "Minister of Transport of the DPR".

Ruslan Biryukov
