Graves of criminal authorities (photo)

Even after death, bandits are particularly sensitive. In the cemeteries they get only VIP-places: on the central avenue or at the entrance. Some monuments have a special highlight, even in winter you will not see either snow or ice, and in summer everything here is filled with fresh flowers. Graves of criminal authorities are available in all prestigious cemeteries in Moscow: Vagankovsky, Danilovsky, Staroyarmyansky or Nikolo-Arkhangelsk. There are even special private cemeteries for the brotherhood, like the one located in the Moscow region of Rakitkas. In the 1990s, the bandits bought out entire land plots, so that after the death the boys stayed together. Today we will go on a short tour of Moscow's cemeteries and "look" at the graves of criminal authorities, photo monuments to the most famous bandits will be presented below.

The legendary personality of Moscow in the late 80's

Otari Kvantrishvili was considered the godfather of capital crime and at the same time a fighter for justice. At first he was just a card player. By the way, he was one of Vyacheslav Ivankov's close friends, known as Yaponchik. In 1993 Otari created a party called "Sportsmen of Russia" and took part in the rout of the government building (White House). He headed the Fund for Social Protection of Athletes. Yashin. What else can you say about Otari Kvantrishvili? He is a well-deserved trainer in Greco-Roman wrestling and a businessman.

In 1994, on April 5, he was shot by a sniper killer at the exit from the Krasnopresnenskaya bath. The killer has not been found so far. None of the versions put forward by the investigation, was not officially confirmed. There is an opinion that the killer was caught by the famous Russian killer Alexander Solonik, who was also Sasha of Macedon. On his account dozens of murders, including criminal authorities.

The head of the Ryazan criminal group

We walk along the Vagankovsky churchyard further. The prestigious cemetery is considered closed today, it is crowded. Here, only burials are possible on a related line. However, new graves of criminal authorities (bandits) still mysteriously appear on the graveyard. So, for example, it is unclear for what reasons the tomb of Viktor Ayrapetov arose here. Approaching the monument, I want to squint. The heavy marble slab is surrounded by a richly gilded fence. Some say that Airapetov himself came to admire the pompous grave. Not from that world, of course, but from our ordinary life. According to the official version, the bandit is dead, but in fact (according to one version) shortly before his staged death, he received Greek citizenship and a new name for Aravidis.

Monuments to authorities

Graves of criminal authorities in the Armenian sector are similar to the monument to Pushkin on Tverskaya Square. The gravestone of Vladimir Sergeevich Oganov is made in the form of an old armchair, on which a brooding bronze man sits. To his left is his brother Rudolph. All the space near the graves is forced by marble vases with roses, lilies and chrysanthemums. The Oganov brothers, they Vachigos Shestipaliy and Rudik Bakinskiy, were not just thieves, they occupied the highest places in the criminal hierarchy. It was for this that they had to pay. In the last century, the brothers Oganov and Ded Hasan (Aslan Usoyan) unleashed a criminal war, which later became a war of mafia clans.

The most erudite "authority" of the late 80's

We move further along the cemetery, where we will see the graves of the criminal authorities of the Bauman criminal group. In the center of the 28th section of the Vagankovskoye cemetery is a black monument, under which the leader of the brotherhood, Bobon (Vladislav Abrekovich Vyhorbin-Wanner), is buried. Next to him rests his bodyguard.

Bobon was considered one of the most widely known and strong "authorities". His criminal group intimidated half of Moscow. He, in turn, was the right-hand man of the bandit Globus (Valery Dlugach). Bobon's passion was for cars, he often drove in his white sports "Buick" without a driver's license, which he simply did not have. The fact is that one of his terms he was serving in a psychiatric hospital where he mastered English perfectly, but with the availability of a certificate of mental illness he could not pass a commission and obtain a driving license.

Because of the dispute that erupted in 1994, regarding the night club, sponsored by the Globe and his group, Dlugach unexpectedly asked to increase his percentage in the share. For which he was shot "Kurgan", and all the blame for the murder decided to take on Solonik. He later killed Bobon. The killers prepared themselves for the operation in advance: in the concrete fence on the territory of the shooting gallery located on the Volokolamsk highway, openings were prolonged in advance. Only Bobon's car drove into the courtyard, as shooting opened on it. Together with the criminal authority, his bodyguard also died. The daughter, who fell on the floor in time, remained alive.

Not a place that colors a person

At the Danilovsky cemetery, the graves of criminal authorities are hidden from prying eyes. Once in the world of granite, the first thing you pay attention to is the family grave of Cograshi. Marble stelae are embossed: "Nono", "Kike" and "Dato".

In 2001, in August, in Khimki 600-hundredth Mercedes, on which famous Armenian thieves-in-law moved - the brothers Cograshi, burned. The car moved towards Sheremetyevo, but unexpectedly on the way it caught fire. The cause of the fire was an explosion. The brothers Dato and Nono died in the hospital from severe burns. Presumably, the attempt is connected with the division of the thieves' obshchak.

The deceased criminal authorities are rolling to their last refuge in bronze and varnish. Their coffins can be considered a real work of art: they are made of mahogany, equipped with bronze handles, illuminated, air-conditioned and even built-in stereo music system, some decorated with paintings by famous artists. Especially popular were two-tiered coffins equipped with an elevator. The cost of such a "home" is not less than 10 thousand dollars. The places under the graves of criminal authorities in Moscow cost 50-200 thousand rubles.

A new landmark of the Vagankovo Cemetery

In 2009, the entire criminal world saw off the last path of Ivankov (Japonchik). His grave is located in one of the most famous cemeteries of the capital - Vagankovsky. Such outstanding figures as the poet Yesenin, the actor Mironov, the sportsman Yashin and the artist Surikov are buried here. In a word, ordinary mortals can not get here. But Ivankov's brother in the depths found the grave of his mother, so the city authorities gave permission for the burial of authority. The funeral was attended by hundreds of bandits.

In any city of Russia, the graves of criminal authorities stand out against the background of old, locally rust-covered monuments.
