It would seem that the era of the initial accumulation of capital in Russia has long passed. However, to this day, from time to time, the public domain becomes information about the modern activities of a particular authority or criminal group. Not so long ago, the whole country became aware of the so-called Kalbonovskaya organized crime group.
The plot of history
The most famous gang crime to date was committed in Abkhazia in the fall of 2015. There, the criminals abducted a resident of Belgorod - Ruslan Proskurin, director of Oryol Elevator LLC. The bandits began to demand money from the businessman. The criminals' demands also included the transfer by the entrepreneur of their business into their hands. So that later the businessman would not contact the law enforcement agencies, the Kalbonovskys forced him to write a receipt that he had arrived in Abkhazia with the aim of acquiring firearms and taking him to Russia. Also, the businessman was forced to hold a Kalashnikov assault rifle so that his fingerprints remained on him.
Returning home, Proskurin did not immediately decide to go to the police. However, a fiasco awaited him there as well - law enforcement agencies did not find the evidence base sufficient to initiate a criminal case.
Moreover, with the filing of the police, the whole case almost turned against Proskurin himself. So, the senior operative of the criminal investigation department of Stary Oskol Dmitry Chelyadinov ordered to overtake the "BMW X-6" of the businessman to the viewing platform. There, a policeman began to inspect the car, and the procedure was started from the bottom of the car. An ill-fated machine gun was immediately discovered there.
Following this, Proskurin’s lawyer and his father demanded that the operative return the car. However, Chelyadinov categorically refused to perform this action, saying that the car would be returned only directly to Proskurin. According to the businessman, this once again suggests that the policeman may be tied to the Kalbonovskys.
Ruslan Proskurin, a native of Gubkin, came into conflict with gang leader Nikolai Arshinov back in 2012. As a result, he had to move to Belgorod, where he went into business. However, the bandits, as it turned out, did not forget about the entrepreneur.
Grouping History
According to reports, the leader of the organized crime group is a certain Nikolai Arshinov, in criminal circles better known as Calbon. He was implicated in the affairs of organized crime in the Belgorod region back in the 1990s. The criminal activity of Kalbon began with the seizure of the business of Alexander Vlasov, who opened a network of points for the purchase of colormet. Vlasov himself soon disappeared without a trace, his abandoned Land Cruiser was found in one of the industrial zones. The entrepreneur’s business was led by a certain Shabanov, who gives bandits up to half of the income. That was back in 1997.
It is rumored that in the 1990s Arshinov, being in a pre-trial detention center, crossed paths with Gubkinsky crime boss Viktor Kurchin, nicknamed Ryzhiy. Soon he hanged himself, and Calbon was released and abruptly began a criminal career. Soon, in the Stary Oskol and Gubkin, the Kalbonovskaya organized crime group began to control almost the entire business.
It is known about the connection of the Kalbonovskys with the president of the Belgorod Boxing Federation Vladimir Tebekin. In criminal circles, this man is known by the nickname Sailor. He is considered the most influential criminal authority in the region, whose name is often mentioned in connection with murders and other crimes committed in Belgorod. Ruslan Proskurin is sure that his business should be transferred to Tebekin’s property.
TV help
The case of the capture of criminals got off the ground when the plot of this incident was shown on the TV Center TV channel in the author’s program of Moment of Truth by Andrei Karaulov. The investigators initially even considered it possible for the media to be present during Proskurin’s visit to the police, but then they changed their minds. Nevertheless, law enforcement officers assure the public that very soon the bandits will go to jail. At the moment, members of the Kalbonovsky gang are wanted in the Belgorod region.
Continuation of a story
As of November 2016, it was known that criminals continued to do their dirty business. Moreover, they have already rained down open threats in the direction of Proskurin. A video was posted on the Internet where an unknown man accuses the businessman of hype and says that the bandits of the Kalbonovo criminal group know Ruslan’s whereabouts, hinting at a possible murder of the businessman. The ending of this unpleasant story has not yet arrived.
