Probably, only in fiction, modern cinema and music, crime bosses, thieves in law and other criminals are described with some positive subtext. And many of them are generally endowed, so to speak, with a philosophical halo. Such a "romance from the high road." What is the image of Al Capone or Sasha Bely from the series “The Brigade”? But real violators of the law are by no means heroes, especially since they cannot be objects to follow. Galiakberov Radik is precisely that negative character that you certainly should not be equated with. We will tell you more about this Kazan Don Corleone.
The hotbed of crime and the beginning of a career
Who would have thought that starting from the 70s of the 20th century, Kazan would turn into a real criminal breeding ground. It was at this time that teenagers who came from ordinary working families living on the outskirts of Kazan began to appear on the streets of the city.
Some of them simply craved thrills and adventures, while others managed to step on the slippery path of crime and wished to continue their exploits by combining into uncontrolled criminal groups. One of these was the young Radik Galiakberov, who early knew the taste of hatred and anger.
Having joined the ranks of the large group “Hadi Taktash”, he immediately joined the internal struggle between other gangs for territory, starting from the bottom. And so began the criminal career Galiakberova nicknamed "Raja".
First experience and criminal record
Once in the gang, Radik quickly joined in the work and immediately got his first term for a group fight. According to law enforcement officials, Raja, together with his other colleagues from Hadishki, ran into representatives of another gangster group. At the same time, Radik Galiakberov was one of the first to run ahead and throw heavy metal balls into the crowd of angry gang members.
Labor success behind bars
During his stay "on a youngster" "Raja" managed to prove himself as a born leader. He managed to organize prisoners in the "industrial zone" in a kind of detachment. Later, his group began to take first places and show the highest results in terms of sewing production. Therefore, when Radik's term of imprisonment came to an end, the head of the colony tearfully asked to stay, in order to prevent a halt in production.
Return to Hadi Taktash
The return of "Raji" members of the group perceived positively. The meeting was cordial and solemn. Having joined the gang team, Radik Galiakberov quickly joined in the work, helping to eliminate competitors.
Recall that initially the gang was engaged in minor robberies and fights. But as their development and growth of influence, the daily responsibilities of the group members changed. At the same time, Galiakberov himself was responsible for the recruitment and training of recruits.
Bloody games
According to him, he needed to liberate recruits. For this, a new fun was created, called "jogging." As it turned out, behind this harmless name was a terrible bloody massacre. It was invented by Radik Galiakberov (you will find a photo of it below).
The essence of this peculiar game boiled down to the following: recently accepted gang members went out into the street in the evening and simply ran around the city, indiscriminately killing everyone they saw. Thus, new arrivals felt the taste of blood and learned to kill with impunity. Later, the gang had its own motto, which stated that the whole city belongs to her.
Division of the gang into two camps
After most of the rival criminal gangs were eliminated, a split occurred in the Hadi Taktash gang itself. At this time, members of the group were divided into two camps: “Young”, hungry for power, and “Old”, living according to the thieves concepts. Feeling in time where the wind was blowing from, Galiakberov Radik joined the Young without hesitation.
So the gang is divided. "Young" was headed by Anvar Khaliullin, and "Starikov" - Rauf Sharafutdinov (nicknamed "Rafa"). Radik received a kind of promotion and became Anvar's right hand. But, despite this, he supported Rauf, leading his own double game. Later it will be clear what he was striving for.
A string of deaths among gang members
Like spiders in a bank, the "Old" and "Young" gang members literally began to hunt each other. The reason for this was a lot of money and power over one of the largest industrial facilities in Kazan - the Orgsyntez plant.
At first, the Young captured the enterprise, but later the Old tried to take the initiative. And then a string of murders reached out. First, the leader of the “Young” fell at the hands of the sniper, and in response the head of the “Old” was shot, then their followers were eliminated, and all members of the group’s old-timers were completely destroyed.
By the way, Radik Galiakberov also had a hand in this, actively collaborating with the new leader of the gang - Nikolai Gusev. Under him, Raja becomes his chief assistant and consultant.
Galiakberov - authority
It would seem that the “cleansing” of the objectionable “old people” of the gang was completed, a new leader appeared, and the financial affairs of the criminals went as well as possible, but then a new emergency happened. Galiakberov decided to eliminate the competitor and lead the criminal clan himself.
As a result, criminal proceedings are instituted against Gusev. Fearing that 6 people would be "hanged" on him (namely, so many gang members from the "Old" were eliminated), Nikolai promptly picks up all the necessary things and escapes to Spain. Immediately after his flight, Galiakberov Radik takes the leader's place. The criminal authority of his level in the literal sense is restructuring the entire gang structure for himself.
Clan "Don Corleone"
Having turned into a real criminal authority, “Raja” finally shows its true face. First, he continues to "clean up" the unwanted and competitors, then he crushes the drug business under himself, then he begins to actively develop pimping and racketeering. After that he takes over the sphere of funeral services, takes patronage over 40 large firms, restaurants, banks and factories.
The heyday of the bloody gang
Under the leadership of Raji, Hadi Taktash gains new fame. They begin to talk about the group as the most powerful and brutal gang with a clearly defined hierarchical structure. So, in the organized crime group there was its own intelligence, combat units and counterintelligence. All this was invented and implemented by Radik Galiakberov (biography, photos and some details from his life are in this article).
In addition, Raja is developing its own encrypted language and a system of aliases. The terrible time for the inhabitants of Kazan begins. The city is covered by a wave of terrible killings and violence.
Unexpected end of criminal authority
After some time, Radik falls under the watchful eye of representatives of the law. According to some reports, the outrages of the "Raji" are pretty fed up with his competitors, whom he never managed to completely exterminate.
His own people set him up, and in 1999 Kazan Don Corleone, along with the other 11 members of the group, was arrested. So Galiakberov Radik gets behind bars. The Black Dolphin is a special regime prison where, after a lengthy trial, a lover of a beautiful life finds herself. It is she who becomes his refuge for the rest of his days. At the moment, "Raja" is in the dungeons of "Dolphin", where he reads a lot and dreams of an early release. However, as practice shows, only in films people of his level, sentenced to life imprisonment, are pardoned, even for good behavior.
