At the time of the mafia in the nineties, the Dolgoprudnskaya organized crime group was considered one of the most famous in the Moscow region, as it managed to spread its influence throughout Russia, and also freely acted in a number of foreign countries. It is difficult to overestimate their influence, since they acted in several directions at once. This article will talk about the leaders of the Dolgoprudnaya organized crime group, as well as the composition of the group and their gradual formation as a center gang.
Becoming
The Dolgoprudnskaya organized crime group began to form in 1988. Most of its first leaders came from military organizations, and therefore the structure of this gang had a clear and rigid hierarchy, which included even intelligence and counterintelligence, as well as other army units. All this led to the fact that even the investigating authorities for a long time did not know about the existence of the Dolgoprudnaya organized crime group, because they had only extremely fragmented information, with which it was simply impossible to work.
The gang began its formation with the fight against the Lyubertsy organized crime group, which by 1988 began to lose its influence. At the famous gathering in Dagomys, they decided to divide the territory peacefully, so that the whole north of Moscow began to relate to the Dolgoprudnensky field of influence. In addition, by the 90s a number of areas close to Moscow were established behind them, such as Sheremetyevo, Koptevo, Lobni, and, accordingly, Dolgoprudny himself.
Their occupation was gradually becoming wider. In addition to the racket and extortion that was standard for those times, the Dolgoprudnskaya organized crime group did not shy away from drug trafficking, contract killings, pimping, and even private carriage.
The leaders
If you look at the photo of the Dolgoprudnskaya organized crime group, you can understand that the number of leaders in this group was simply phenomenal compared to all the others. This was their special feature, since many of them were brothers. Among the most famous leaders include the following individuals.
Potema
At the moment, his real name has not been clarified. He was a Muscovite who directly contacted and established relations with the police. He carried out large-scale corruption of law enforcement agencies, since he believed that in this way it is much easier to fight competitors than the use of bloody showdowns with security forces. He was killed in 1995 by competitors.
The Naumov Brothers
Their sphere of activity included control of prostitutes, as well as the entire shadow economy of subservient territory. Also, with the help of one of the prostitutes, they could control the leader of the Lyubertsy organized crime group. She collected information for them, because she was a cohabitant of one of the brothers.
Other leaders
In addition to the individuals listed above, there are a number of powerful leaders who have influenced the group.
- The Morozov brothers were former soldiers who survived the Afghan war. In addition to being good fighters, they were also responsible for bringing other veterans into the gang who already had combat experience.
- The Chibirev brothers were responsible for arming the gang, as well as for selling other types of weapons. As former military men, they had good connections with military units, and therefore could be in contact with the army.
- The Devyatkins were responsible for monitoring activities in all areas in which the Dolgoprudnskaya organized crime group operated.
Legalization
It is known that this gang was one of the first to transfer its activities to the semi-legal sphere. They sold slot machines, and also had several stores called "Birch", where you could buy a variety of items in exchange for foreign money. The criminal authority who was nicknamed Izot was engaged in this activity. In addition, he was engaged in the sale and distribution of drugs, but after a while he became addicted to his own goods.
Death of leaders
By 1995, most of the most famous leaders of the Dolgoprudnskaya organized crime group were killed. After the death of Potema and other authorities, the power in the group almost completely passed to thieves in law who were faithful only to the old traditions. The new leaders are Oleg Savostin, Vyacheslav Slatin and Pavel Zakharov. At the same time, the role of the Chibirev brothers, who had the nickname Malaya and Elder, increased. A new era has begun in the gang.
Composition of the Dolgoprudnskaya organized crime group
By 1993, the group consisted of about 350 people, but even in our time, no more than 200 of them are known. Basically, it includes former convicts, especially athletes, as well as residents of the areas of Moscow and the Moscow Region included in the sphere of influence. Gang members also include foreigners and former Russian citizens who left the country.
But in general, the composition of the gang, especially the initial one, is very diverse. At first, they were directly called locusts, since people were taken inaudibly. At the moment, nothing is known about the positions of this group, and the bulk of the members have joined other organized crime groups. It is believed that they simply could not cope with the requirements of thieves, but preferred to be associated with authorities involved in the drug business and the shadow economy.
Conclusion
Dolgoprudnskaya organized crime group extended its hands in many directions, including to law enforcement agencies, so that it could be in the shade for quite some time. They did not speak about it out loud and knew exclusively those who directly had to pay.
The group was able to establish power not only over part of the capital, but also abroad. A clear hierarchy and militarized structure ensured the almost complete absence of internal disassembly and redistribution, since leaders clearly delineated their powers and the directions in which they want to act.
A powerful organization was destroyed by the deaths of many leaders at once, including the ideological mastermind of Potema. Only this ultimately allowed the investigative services to engage in a close team and identify its activities. By the standards of criminal Russia, their activities were quite impudent, so many call them one of the most brutal organized crime groups. But even today, a lot about this group remains a mystery.
