When he died, the heirs received a considerable fortune, but at the same time after the person remained puzzles and secrets, and to this day have not been solved, although many specialize in Shabtai's biography.
How it all began
With the photo, Shabtai Kalmanovich looks with expressive, beautiful eyes, but friends recall that the man's gaze was piercing, and sometimes even tough. The future philanthropist and businessman was born in the Lithuanian village of Ramigala in the 47th, in the last month of this year. By this time, the family had been living in the town for more than a first generation, the grandfather presided over the local Jewish community. The family had their own business - a small grocery store. Parents used Yiddish in everyday life, diligently kept the traditions of Judaism. Shabtai's father received a directorial position at the factory, and the meat processing plant gave his mother a job - the woman took the place of chief accountant. For that period, such a family could safely be considered wealthy, more than successful.
1959 in the biography of Shabtai von Kalmanovich marked by a sudden plan of relocation. The family decided to move to their historical homeland. We made an official request, which caused significant changes in the boyās life. Shataya was expelled from the pioneers, the path to the Komsomol was closed for him. After graduating from school, a persistent young man was still able to break into the Polytechnic Institute, where he learned to become an engineer. His area of āāspecialization was manufacturing automation.
Career and life
Shabtai Genrikhovich Kalmanovich served in the army, after which he returned to a peaceful life - however, it so happened that circumstances changed a lot. In the 71st, permission to travel was obtained. The family got the opportunity to move to Israel. Once in his historical homeland, the young man went to language courses in order to learn Hebrew, and after finishing them, got a job at the Propaganda Center. His task was to help those moving from the Land of Soviets.
Shabtai Genrikhovich Kalmanovich soon discovered the entrepreneur's talents in himself, so he successfully combined public service with labor for his own benefit. It was decided to try out talents in the field of production. A promising man organized performances by Soviet artists in the Western powers, on Israeli territory. However, soon the authorities, dissatisfied with such a development of events, began to insist on choosing only one direction of activity, and Shabtai stopped on producing. Only a few years have passed since the move, and the man became among the repatriates the most wealthy citizen. Then there was the opportunity to participate in entrepreneurship in Boputatswan, Shabtai did not miss his chance and soon received the first million.
Times and manners
Shabtay Kalmanovich got to places of forced imprisonment in the 87th. There are several versions of this event. The most popular one talks about espionage charges in favor of the Soviet Union. The man was offered to enter into joint productive work with the investigating authorities, as a result, he was sentenced to nine years, although initially eleven was threatened. During this period, the Israeli leadership received many petitions from fairly well-known Russian figures - Kobzon, Gorbachev, Spivakov ... However, although it helped to some extent, but not too much: Shabtai spent five and a half years in prison, of which a year and a couple of months - in solitary confinement. Then he will say that it was during this period that health suffered the most. In the future, problems will cause heart surgery. The man received a pardon in the 92nd, then he was released.
When the media reported that Shabtai Kalmanovich was killed, many began to recall the rumors about this man and the KGB. It is believed that state security recruited a young Jew while he was serving in the army. Some believe that only thanks to this the family got the opportunity to leave the territory of the USSR and return to their homeland. Moreover, they say that it was thanks to the KGB that Shabtai was able to get a job so promising, organize a business and make it successful. But opinions differ. Some, for example, argue that in fact Shabtai crossed the road to diamond businessmen, and they decided to "get rid" of him in such an unobtrusive and quiet way. It was also said that Shabtai was never a spy, he only transmitted useful information to the state security, without knowing it himself. The man, if asked about this, preferred to insist on the first version - this helped to create a particularly strong image.
New opportunities and new money.
Then, when the media will speculate and wonder why Shabtai Kalmanovich was killed, many will focus on his condition. The man really had money - by nature he got the gift to feel where the most promising opportunities open up. By the time of his release from places of forced detention, Russia had such prospects.

For the national women's basketball team, the entrepreneur acted as the main manager.
In those days it wasnāt accepted to talk about it, but after the murder of Shabtay Kalmanovich, many began to recall various incidents that suggested his connection with the Solntsevskaya organized crime group. Journalists, even during the lifetime of an entrepreneur, often suspected that he had strong connections in the criminal community, but could not find any evidence.
Not a single business
From a young age, Shabtai was a loving person. If you believe the rumors, connections and novels he had so much that it was simply impossible to calculate. The entrepreneur had three official wives. He first married in the 75th, while still in Israel. His first beloved was a Leningrad gynecologist. They say that Shabtai was proud of his family, and especially loved his daughter - the name Liat was chosen for her. Then, when the businessman moves to Russia, he will name his first company in honor of the child.

Sudden brutality
To this day, many journalists are still wondering why Shabtai Genrikhovich Kalmanovich was killed. The sad event occurred in the late autumn of 2009, on the second of November. The man at that moment was in his car, territorially - in the metropolitan center. As the media will later describe the incident, he was brutally shot - in total there were 18 shells in the body. Despite a severe wound, the car driver tried to catch up with the attackers, but this was not possible.
There are several versions and options, assumptions and reasons that could explain the death of Shabtai Kalmanovich. Some are firmly convinced that the reason for everything is active participation in the construction business - allegedly Shabtai did not share something with competitors. Others believe that basketball was the fault and the entrepreneur's interest in sports was not only a spectacle, but also a method of making money.
Others believe that the cause of the death of Shabtai Kalmanovich was Mishka Yaponchik. It is believed that it was he who āorderedā the businessman.
But what happened?
A formal case study did not produce any sane results. It is still unknown today why and from whose hands Shabtai Kalmanovich died.

All famous representatives of the domestic scene came to see the famous person. The Israeli funeral was organized in strict accordance with Jewish traditions.
What will remain after me?
Many heard and learned about Shabtai Genrikhovich Kalmanovichās wives only after his death. The man left behind a legacy that was more than impressive in size, and potential applicants for him began a real war among themselves. However, they had certain reasons for this, because the entrepreneur left no less than three wills, and each of them differed in its will from the other two. Certain parts of the possessions were bequeathed to different children. For example, the eldest daughter received all the entrepreneurās real estate and his business in Israel. Daniela had to get numerous fatherly millions. From the third testament, it followed that Anna and her boys would live comfortably all their lives - everything passed to them. When the will of the murdered person was voiced, the eldest daughter did not hesitate to go to court - she considered the document that wrote off Danieleās inheritance to be incorrect. Soon, Liat found a sympathizer in the person of Anna.
Many knew how Shabtai Kalmanovich and his wife Anastasia parted, so few people were surprised by the fact of the trial. The hearings lasted about two years, but the law enforcement authorities determined the will of the entrepreneur as fully consistent with the laws of the country. Until Daniela becomes an adult, five guardians are responsible for disposing of property, including the girlās parent.
It's curious
It is known that Shabtai Kalmanovich was a fan of Alla Pugacheva, moreover, he loved her wholeheartedly and actively participated in the career of the singer and her life. When the collapse of āThe Lordā significantly hit the financial situation of the artist, it was Kalmanovich who came to her aid. At a certain point in his life, he even expressed a desire to marry Alla, but Philip Kirkorov became his rival.
It was Shabtai Kalmanovich who organized the first concert of Vysotsky outside his native country. When Gromov was the governor of the Moscow Region, Shabtai held the position of adviser to him. Russian, Lithuanian and Israeli citizens spoke more than ten languages. He organized a funeral ceremony for Sobchak, fully providing the financial side of the event.
It is known that Shabtai Kalmanovich collected art masterpieces. The silver he collected is especially famous - Shabtai was interested in ritual objects related to Jewry. The largest synagogues in the world dream of many exhibits of his collection. In addition, Shabtai owned some paintings of the Wanderers, works of Faberge.
The death of an entrepreneur: what did the media write about?
When Shabtai Kalmanovich died as a result of a brutal attack, the journalists immediately seized on the news - it became a real sensation. At the time of the murder, the entrepreneur was 61 years old. Journalists who were involved in the case found friends of the murdered person, from whom they learned that the manās entrepreneurial activity was probably the reason. Immediately suggested that he crossed the road to someone strong and aggressive, entered into conflict relations or even an adventure. It was no secret to anyone from the very beginning that the murder was clearly ordered. Journalists immediately dubbed the case one of the results of a āconceptualā business, which means that the probability of a fair identification of the perpetrators was reduced to vanishingly small.
As numerous editions of a decade ago wrote, about half-past four in the evening Shabtai Kalmanovich went to a new meeting. The car was driven by Peter Tumanov - he was 32 years old at that moment. On the same day, a departure from Russia was planned, and a day earlier Shabtai until late was in a restaurant in the company of Spartak basketball players. About half an hour passed from the moment of leaving the house to the attack. They started shooting at the car when Shabtay Kalmanovich was in Novodevichy Drive - the driver was forced to brake at a traffic light. The investigation would later establish that the killers used submachine guns. The cartridges show that it was a 9 mm caliber weapon. Judging by the trajectories of the shots, the shooting was conducted from two points.
Details and subtleties
Mostly the arrows were pointed at the passenger door on the right, shot at the glass. The choice was not accidental, everyone knew that Shabtai Kalmanovich prefers to ride in the driver's seat next to him. When the shots had just begun, Tumanov immediately made an attempt to leave the dangerous territory, but one of the first bullets hit his collarbone, which made it difficult to control the car, and the car crashed into a pole.
When the criminals considered that the number of shots was sufficient to ensure that the victim was dead, they fled using the Lada Priora car or something reminiscent of it - eyewitnesses will tell about this. Several shells were found not at the scene of the murder, but at some distance, which suggested that the killers fired directly from the car and got rid of the evidence, already moving away from the scene. The weapon was never found. It was suggested that he was thrown into the river.
In the case of the murder of Shabtay Kalmanovich, criminal proceedings were immediately opened, and representatives of the investigation department left for the place. Without delay, they opened a case under three articles. They admitted that they would consider all options for the murder, although no one doubted the ordered nature of the crime. The investigators already in the early days of the case explained to reporters that they consider the figure of the murdered person to be the key object, it is from her that they repel in their work, methodically interviewing relatives and friends of the victims of the atrocious crime.
