Sergei Butorin Osya biography. Biography of the heir to the Orekhovskaya organized crime group, Sergei Butorin (Osya). Got it for nuts

In February last year, the special services of Russia and Spain detained the “godfather” of the Russian mafia near Barcelona. Years before this, the RUOP under the leadership of Rushailo did not notice either him or the 29 murders committed on his order.

His grave is at the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye cemetery in Moscow, not far from the entrance. A modest plate with already worn letters: “Sergei Butorin. 1965-1995".

I came across this same name last week in a letter from Madrid, which recently arrived at the National Central Bureau of Interpol of the Russian Federation (NCB). The meaning is this: Sergei Butorin and Roman Polyansky will be extradited to Russia immediately after the decision of the highest court in Spain.

There is no confusion here: Butorin (Osya) is perhaps the most influential and cruel gangster of the Russian mafia, with no less than 29 contract killings to his name in the Orekhovskaya organized crime group, which he led.

And the most mysterious - in the lengthy lists of authorities and thieves in law, scattered in abundance on many Internet sites, you will not find such a name. It’s not in the album that was once presented to me at the GUBOP - hundreds of names and nicknames with signs and addresses, but Butorin and Polyansky failed - you won’t find it anywhere.

Their very rise to the heights of crime is strange - who were they when the Orekhovskys walked under the legendary Sylvester?

“Sixes, no more,” an officer from Shabolovka once assured me, they already knew, I thought then, RUBOP was there, where Rushailo was in charge. As it turned out, they didn’t know a damn thing, they were lying to both the authorities and me.

Bomb for authority

I have more than once heard a paradoxical confession from detectives and even from the heads of the Main Directorate for Organized Crime Control: it’s a pity that they killed Sylvester - at least there was no lawlessness with him. In the following story I will not be able to do without this person, and therefore I will have to remember the recent past.

Sylvester is Sergei Ivanovich Timofeev, originally from the Novgorod region. Hence the first nickname - Seryozha Novgorodsky. He was a strong guy, not spoiled - he worked as a tractor driver and as a sports instructor - this is when he moved to Moscow.

In the Orekhov group, he soon became an authority figure, which the lads desperately needed: in the early 90s, young people fought with old people, there was shooting every day, corpses. Sylvester managed to pin down the most rabid thugs, and persuade the rest little by little to go into legal business. Dozens of banks and joint ventures came under the control of Sylvester's organized crime group - for protection he received from 30 to 70 percent of the profit. Year in

In 1993, Sylvester fraternized with the Solntsevo organized crime group, made friends with such authorities as Otari Kvantrishvili, Painting, Petrik, Zakhar, Compass and, finally, Yaponchik. The main thing: the internecine massacre stopped, the police and prefectures had their own people, the income of Sylvester and his gang grew immeasurably.

A separate page - close ties with businessman and financier Grigory Lerner. Just one detail - this alliance brought the Orekhovskys, and above all Sylvester, millions of dollars, which Lerner skillfully manipulated.

And here it is: on September 13, 1994, the Mercedes 600 in which Sylvester was driving along 3rd Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street was torn apart by a powerful explosion near house number 46. The radio-controlled bomb scattered all that was left of the car and people within a radius of 100 meters.

It is still unknown who removed Sylvester - one can name many who he interfered with, but the investigation has not progressed beyond versions.

blast wave

If Rushailov’s RUBOP had already taken the orphaned Orekhov group into close development, one would have noticed that power in it was gradually passing into the hands of people who had until then kept aloof. It is curious that these were not thieves in law who boasted of their criminal records, but for the most part former intelligence officers and athletes with so far unblemished biographies. Even then, one would have noticed a nice-faced guy with decent manners and a constant smile: this is Alexander Pustovalov (Soldier). He served conscript duty in the elite GRU marine unit, shot artistically - Solonik, whose skill is usually admired after the media's admiration, was no competitor to the Soldier. The leadership core also included Roman Polyansky, Dmitry Belkin (Belok), Andrey Pylev (Karlik). Slightly lower in rank were the lads from the Kurgan group, whom Sylvester had welcomed: Koligov, Nelyubin, Ignatov, Zelenin and Solonik, who I just remembered.

And the shooting started - they were killing Sylvester’s associates and competitors. Almost every murder was committed recklessly, openly, as if the killers decided to intimidate not only their victims, but also the police - this is how it later turned out. Let me give you one example: a warm August day

95th, summer cafe in the very center of Moscow, behind the monument to Yuri Dolgoruky. Alexander Bijamo (Alik the Assyrian) and his three bodyguards are sitting at the table. Four people also enter, and right from the threshold they open heavy fire from machine guns. They get out, turn onto Bolshaya Dmitrovka and quickly throw their weapons and gloves into the nearest park. Exactly next to the main office of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation.

The crime has not been solved.

In the same 95th, the same killers near the Palace of Culture named after. Gorbunov is shot in broad daylight by Odintsovo's authorities - Oleg Ershov and Vladimir Rudnev. The police stop the brothers at the Kutuzovskaya metro station - documents! In response - shots. Sergeant Anatoly Glebov was killed, senior sergeant Igor Mikheev was seriously wounded.

There are no traces, no one has been detained.

Looking ahead, I’ll name the killer - someone already guessed that it was Alexander Pustovalov (Soldier).

It is he who goes to Athens a year later and strangles Solonik with a noose. And at the same time his mistress, fashion model from the Red Star agency Svetlana Kotova. Reason: there was a rumor that Solonik was going to shoot the boss under whom the Soldier was walking.

The Orekhovskys also dealt an unexpected blow to Sylvester’s friend Grigory Lerner: in France they kidnapped him, held him hostage and extorted several million dollars. Stunned by such impudence, the prisoner even writes a letter to Sylvester’s heirs.

But the most vile crime of the group is the murder of the senior investigator of the special prosecutor's office of the Odintsovo district, Yuri Kerez. He led cases of murders committed by “nuts” in the closed military town of the Strategic Missile Forces, Vlasikha (object Golitsino-10), and even detained one of the perpetrators, Sergei Syrov. He swam, started calling names, and Kerez, for the first time in Russia, opened a criminal case under Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - “Organization of a criminal community.” The investigator, as I learned, acted without operational cover and went ahead. Weapon - gas pistol. One evening, one of the Orekhov militants, Dmitry Belkin (Belok), came to his office and, without further ado, offered the investigator a million dollars - he was supposed to give Syrov to the lads and throw away the case. Kerez instantly hit Belk in the face, and a day later, on October 20, he received four bullets in the back of the head. He is still remembered and revered - an honest and courageous man, the first among his colleagues to decide to hit the mafia with an adopted and seemingly forgotten article of the law. The deceased left behind a pregnant wife and a four-year-old daughter.

The crime has not been solved.

I repeat once again: if in those years the Orekhovskaya organized crime group had been under the tight hood of the RUBOP, it would have been easy to notice that most of these murders did not happen on their own, not because of the Soldier’s violent temper, but were carefully thought out and ordered by a person who had long been became the leader of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group after the death of Sylvester. He always kept a low profile, often changed apartments, cars, passports - he was Karsliev, Shcherbakov, Pishchenko and, finally, Sergei Butorin - Osya.

But this became known much later. How exactly is worth asking.

MUR accepts the call

In the spring of 1997, on Petrovka, literally under the windows of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, shots rang out - the leader of the Koptev group, Naum, was killed in a car stopped in front of a traffic light. The scandal in the Ministry of Internal Affairs broke out in earnest - firstly, the criminal authority was guarded by soldiers of the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs "Saturn", and secondly, the killers once again deliberately demonstrated their fearlessness.

If the RUBOP detectives were still holed up on Shabolovka, the MUR of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate took the militants’ attack as a slap in the face. Literally a few days later, Kurgan authority Andrei Koligov, who was returning from Brussels, was arrested at Sheremetyevo-2; an equally dangerous murderer, Oleg Nelyubin, was caught from Holland, and a week or two later, 17 Kurgan militants were arrested.

Today this is no longer a secret: during interrogations, the Kurgan residents quickly floated away, and at the MUR they heard unfamiliar names - Butorin (Osya), Pustovalov (Soldier). It is they who run the Orekhovskaya organized crime group after Sylvester, they are responsible for many murders of criminal authorities, law enforcement officers, industrialists and bankers. And how could it happen that over the years there was not a word about dangerous bandits in the files of the special services, especially the RUBOP, which was first commanded and then looked after by Rushailo?

Who are they, where to look?

Murder under guard

When I learned that the senior operative of the MUR, Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Ivanovich, had taken charge of the Orekhov group, hope came for the first time: the victorious march of the bandits was coming to an end, there would be the success that you were waiting for. Victor, as I call him after many years of acquaintance, is a prominent man, he has been involved in the search for almost fifteen years, and is a master of personal investigation, which is rare these days. The bandits’ description is short: “They don’t take it.” If you dress Vitya in a Carden boutique and take him to an expensive dentist, he looks like Don Johnson, whose name is Nash Bridges in the endless series. But you don’t need to change your face and smile - it’s similar. In addition, he does not smoke or drink.

So, at the beginning of 97, Victor first heard about Butorin, Pustovalov, Belkin and many other Orekhovskys. Butorin-Osya immediately dismissed him when the RUBOP almost laughed at him: yes, he died, look at the grave on Nikolo-Arkhangelsk. And I was wrong: the Kurgan people, sitting in “Matrosskaya Tishina”, became more and more talkative.

And suddenly there was an emergency: on January 17, Saturday, in cell No. 115 of building No. 1, a bloody body was found on the lower bunks - Nelyubin! The administration assures me: I hit the bridge of my nose on the bunk. But here’s what’s strange: after the fall, Nelyubin lost consciousness, then came to his senses, washed himself, lay down and died quietly.

On the same day, at lunchtime, something new: in the medical unit of the same pre-trial detention center, another Kurgan militant Zelenin, the right hand of the same Nelyubin, suddenly died. Doctors' conclusion: heart failure from drug overdose.

Today Victor tells me:

Osya found out that they were pawning it and gave the order to remove it immediately.

How did this team get by? And where do the drugs come from in prison?

What are you doing? - Victor explodes. - Don’t you know that almost every cell is full of cell phones? That prisoners have conversations whenever they want and with whomever they want?

“Hello, Viktor Ivanovich!”

At the beginning of 1998, it became clear to Victor: as soon as the Orekhovskys found out about his interest, they immediately went on the run; Osya was the first to disappear.

And the worst thing is that the MUR had to remember him more and more often - the militants who remained in Moscow regularly carried out the orders of the escaped owner. In the same 1998, the Orekhovskys went even further: the deputy head of the operational search unit of the Southern District Internal Affairs Directorate, police major Sergei Kostenko, was killed. Victor, together with the MUR special forces, immediately carried out a lightning raid on addresses already known to him - ten Orekhovskys were put with their muzzles on the ground.

And they didn’t calm down. A couple of weeks later, the killer opened fire on large businessman Alexander Cherkasov - he owned the best nightclub in Europe, Luxor, and was a co-founder of the Arlekino club, popular among show business stars. Cherkasov was seriously injured and miraculously survived.

Victor responded immediately: hot on his heels, he arrested 11 people: such loyal Axis henchmen as Mikhail Kudryavtsev and Igor Maslennikov were caught in his network.

In 1999, Victor learned from his people that Pustovalov (Soldier) had visited Moscow. It would be stupid to ask him how this news came and how they managed to locate the apartment where the elusive killer was located.

And now it’s evening in Fili - the Soldier is in one of the houses on the eighth floor. MUR special forces descend from the roof, guys in spheres and bulletproof vests crash through the windows.

Victor recalls:

They opened the door, I walked in and didn’t see anyone. What the hell! Outdoor news says that the Soldier is definitely in the apartment, that no one came out of it, but I’m walking around like a fool, and to no avail! Finally, I thought of it: I open the door of the built-in closet, and there is Pustovalov with a cleaver at the ready. We stared at each other, he lowers the cleaver and smiles: “Hello, Viktor Ivanovich! So that’s what you are like.”

I listened to Victor and felt my fingers getting colder - in my years as a cop, this always happened when I felt: here is a puncture, here is danger.

Vitya,” I said, “how did he know what your name is, what you look like?” Who snitched on him, who gave him your photo? Only the one who works with you. And the bandits too.

He didn't answer me.

Hurray, gentlemen of the opera!

In June 2000, a demand was sent to Lyon, to the headquarters of Interpol, to search for Butorin and Polyansky. Five minutes later, almost all police departments in the world received the command: search! The Greeks were the first to respond - in a photo sent from Russia, they identified a man who registered at airports and hotels under the name Isakhim Karsliev, 36 years old. And then he disappeared - no traces.

This continued until February 2001. Then a special message came from the national Interpol Bureau of Spain to Moscow: according to intelligence services, Russian citizen Karsliev lives either in Madrid, or in Seville, or in Barcelona. A week later, the Spaniards were more precise: Karsliev’s mobile phone works somewhere in the Barcelona area.

On February 13, we flew to Madrid on an Aeroflot flight. There were us... No. Not this way. The guys from the Interpol NCB, the FSB and us from the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department. They brought few documents, the main thing was a photo of Butorin and Polyansky. And also dacto cards with their fingers.

We weren't in Madrid for long; we rushed to Barcelona in two cars. We arrived there in the evening, and two Spaniards from Interpol, Jorge and Jesus, were always with us. Lenya from the FSB helped us talk. I say: let's go to the police, maybe we'll find Butorin's phone number. Jesus is such a lively person, he speaks quickly: this is not how we do things, we need to have dinner, sit quietly and discuss everything. But your bandits are not going anywhere, they are wanted. Okay, we sat in a nice restaurant, Jesus - he was calmer, more serious, he was calling all the time on his mobile phone, drawing something in a notepad. Lenya whispers to me: they are somewhere near Barcelona, ​​we’ll go tomorrow.

And sure enough, they are taking us to such a cute little town, I wish I could have lived in it forever - I must remember - Castell de Fels.

Jesus says: your Russian’s cell phone worked from here, we’ll drive through the streets and watch.

Yes, I almost forgot: we had to find two cars - a BMW and a Mercedes Galenswagen. Jorge laughs: only Russians buy this kind of Merc, but in fact the car is produced for the Bundeswehr. So this is good, no one else has such a tank - let's go for a drive and find it.

Well, then it’s boring - we go to hotels, clubs, go to brothels, not to mention restaurants and cafes. And I’m talking about mine: even if we are lucky and we meet these guys, none of us has the right to detain them - only the Spaniards. It’s an idiotic situation, really, I don’t even have a gun, it’s not allowed.

It’s already evening, lights, music from everywhere - but where the hell are they? We stopped at some chic club, looked around it, I went out into the street alone, wandered into some alley: honest mother, those same cars!

I’m with the guys, giving orders, like in Moscow, who should stand where, who should go to this club again. And suddenly, you won’t believe it, Butorin comes straight at me. He's a little nerdy, he's got a Russian girl with him, they're going to this Merc. And I, like an idiot, trudge behind and wave our hands - yes, here it is, take it! Then everything is simple - they put Osya on the hood, took the gun out of his pocket, and a mobile phone from his belt. In a word, they packed the man as it should be.

Now we need to look for Polyansky. Where? Suddenly I see: I have Osi’s mobile phone in my pocket, I look at what numbers it has. That's what I need - Marat. This is Polyansky! I press the call button and he answers immediately. I say calmly, quietly: “Hello!” and turn off. I press again, he already sees which phone the call is from, and therefore with alarm: “Osya, is that you?”

I switch off again and see Polyansky running up the steps towards me, holding his right hand on his belt. And there is no one nearby. Yelling all over the street: “Police! Hands behind head!"

He was stunned at first, and then he ran, and I followed him. I look: he pulls out the barrel and throws it into the bushes. And then God knows what begins - the howl of sirens, car after car, from somewhere there are a lot of carabinieri and heavy shooting. I look: they are leading Polyansky, he is limping and swearing. Have taken! They took two! As they say here: hurray, gentlemen of the opera!

Is the search still ongoing?

The next day was Madrid, the whole group was waiting for the judge to give permission to search Butorin’s apartment. Then they waited a long time until they brought him from prison - you can’t search the house without the owner.

Finally they brought him, he calmly peered into the faces of people he did not know and immediately stepped towards Victor.

So we met, Viktor Ivanovich. Accept and so on.

He sat down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

In Moscow, meanwhile, the preliminary investigation into the case of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group was coming to an end - it was conducted by the city prosecutor's office. In June last year, the case was transferred to the Moscow City Court. Ten people were accused of committing particularly serious crimes: Alexander Pustovalov, Viktor Sidorov, Dmitry Usalev, Yakov Yakushev, Sergey Filatov, Ivan Sausaragis, Vladimir Kremenetsky, Vitaly Alexandrov, Alexander Vasilchenko and Oleg Pronin.

I just want a calm and cheerful ending to my story: the Orekhov group, which had been roaming around Moscow for more than ten years, is no longer there: both the leaders and the perpetrators were put behind bars.

Viktor Ivanovich puts several photographs on the table:

Here's who we need to take, and as soon as possible: Belkin, Zimin, Sharapov, Mikhalin, Pylev. The last three first.

Victor already knows almost for sure in which countries these bandits settled. And he does not rule out that they may appear in Moscow. It is likely that someone will arrive, if not at the beginning, then at the middle or at the end of the trial of the burnt gang, someone will be ready when Spain finally extradites Butorin and Polyansky.

And something will certainly happen: either shooting again, or again the same luck as in Spain.

This is an alarming wait.

P.S. When I was writing this article, Victor disappeared somewhere. Finally his mobile phone answered: “I’m where it’s a little warmer, I’m carrying two parcels - packed, bless you!”

He arrived and says: he went to Sevastopol, where they took Ruslan Polyansky, Marat’s younger brother, who was caught in Spain. And one more - Kucherenko. This is an extraordinary person - a talented programmer, he was responsible for the group’s database and ensured communication with each militant.

In 2011, by a court decision, the crime boss, one of the most famous leaders of the gangster group of the 90s, Sergei Yuryevich Butorin, was sentenced to life imprisonment. He did not admit his guilt, but still went to live out his life in a prison for especially dangerous repeat offenders. Why and where is Sergei Butorin imprisoned? Everything is written in this article.

Biography "before"

The biography of Sergei Butorin, the Axis, was nothing special before the first crimes. He was born in Ostashkovo (Tver region) on November 9, 1964. He, like most guys, served in the armed forces. Sergei was in a sniper unit, and after finishing his service, he decided to stay here to build a military career. He managed to rise to the rank of warrant officer, but for some reason he didn’t want to go further, the guy left the army and began working as a security guard in a cafe.

Otherwise, he was also a fairly positive person. He took up boxing and was even able to get a rank in this sport.

Younger brother

Butorin had a younger brother, Alexander, known in crime as Zombie. This guy, unlike Sergei, had no merit, and his characterization left much to be desired. Alexander Butorin was famous as a drug addict and had several criminal records. Despite all the shortcomings of the younger one, Sergei Butorin still loved him and trusted his brother more than anyone, and it was for this reason that he went on his first business with him.

First thing

It was Alexander who received a tip about the robbery of the apartment of the famous collector Magids Victor. His prison friend Feldman Yakov told Sasha about the valuables at this man’s disposal. Sergei Butorin became interested in the opportunity to make good money, and personally began supplying weapons for the robbery, since he had some loopholes to ammunition depots.

The fourth from the organized group was another former prisoner and once internal affairs officer, Evgeniy Tokarev. The “brigade” thought everything through carefully and carried out the robbery one July night in 1990.

The guys made good money, taking things worth over nine million US dollars from Magids' apartment. There were ancient icons, valuable paintings, jewelry, and archaeological finds.

Offended accomplice

Another element, known as Vladimir Stepanov, was to take a direct part in the collector’s robbery. His duties were to bring the car to the crime scene in time, when the other participants were taking out the valuables. But the car was not there, since Stepanov, apparently tired, decided to take a nap and slept through the rush hour. Having arrived at the appointed place, Vladimir found no one and went home with nothing.

A few years later, burdened with pangs of conscience or resentment towards his accomplices, Vladimir came to the police and told about everything he knew. Internal affairs officers no longer hoped to solve the crime or find the perpetrators, and the information received from Stepanov became simply invaluable material for them in the case. The Butorin brothers, Tokarev and Feldman, were immediately put on the wanted list.

Feldman was soon discovered, but he could no longer be punished and tell about the whereabouts of the other participants. Jacob was found in Belgium, in one of the hotel rooms, he was hanged. The police did not identify any traces of violent death, and declaring it a suicide, sent the body to Moscow for cremation.

Odintsovo organized crime group

The collapse of the country, mass discontent, poverty, the height of wars between bandits for power and money - all this is so close, it would seem, of the nineties. This was the time when a business was created, and the time when blood was shed for this business. The racket flourished, merchants paid tribute to the bandits protecting their points. For each such “donor” there was a real massacre, and the territories were strictly divided: each was ruled by its own group, and strangers who dared to enter other than their territory were mercilessly killed. These were real wolf packs, living by their own laws, and these laws were respected by everyone.

Sergei Butorin, his brother Zombie and Dmitry Belkin (Belok) did not miss the opportunity to join the situation. They created their own group in Odintsovo, and began by clearing the territory of the Golitsinskaya organized crime group, which reigns here. The Odintsovskys did not spare the Golitsyn people; they killed those of them who did not agree to leave the inhabited territory and fought back. The Butorinskys were distinguished by a special bloodthirstiness; they beat and executed even just like that, not for profit, but for simple pleasure. By doing this, they established themselves as ruthless and serious guys, whom they began to fear and respect.

Soon, rumors about Sergei Butorin and his people spread throughout the country, authorities rushed to get to know their daring colleagues.

Well-deserved authority

By 1993, Odintsovo was completely freed from the encroachments of foreign groups. Sergei Butorin and his guys completely accepted power and began to single-handedly reap the fruits of their labors. At the same time, Grinya (Grigory Gusyatsky), who is the leader of an organized crime group from Medvedkovo and a confidant of Sylvester (Sergei Timofeev), the leader of the Orekhovskaya group and the most authoritative criminal element, has the honor of meeting them.

Soon, the Odintsovskys were in for a promotion of sorts: Belok became the chief in Odintsovo, since Sasha was taken to the Medvedkovskaya organized crime group to carry out especially important assignments and secret tasks, and Sergei Butorin went to the Orekhovskaya organized crime group to become close to Sylvester himself.

Gang arrest

In 1994, at the dacha of an academician in the Moscow region, almost the entire gang was detained. Alexander Butorin, Grigory Gusyatsky and Evgeniy Tokarev rented this living space and placed an ammunition warehouse on it. Detectives went to this dacha and were able to arrest the tenants. As it turned out, most of the weapons were stolen from the Fire School of the Irkutsk region, and while the gang was removing the ammunition, the sentry who noticed them was eliminated.

Sergei Butorin was able to miraculously avoid a common fate, and upon learning about the arrest of his accomplices, he hid for some time. Lawyers hired to defend the brother and the rest of the gang were able to get them released on high bail. However, the criminal elements did not enjoy freedom for long, since they were met from prison not only by their brotherhood, but also by armed employees of the special department. All participants were detained, fingerprinted, and Alexander and Tokarev were sent to Moscow for trial, while the rest were released.

In Moscow, Butorin Jr. and Evgeniy Tokarev were given a prosecutor's order to arrest them for robbing a collector's apartment.

Gregory, after this incident, hastened to leave Russia and went to Kyiv. Only he was soon shot there by a killer hired by Sylvester. The authorities considered Gusyatsky not only superfluous, but also a dangerous person for the rest of the gang.

Alexander Butorin and Evgeniy Tokarev

Alexander and Evgeniy did not admit their guilt. They did not know that the police officers had indisputable evidence in the form of Sashka’s hair found at the crime scene, and a living witness - Magids. The collector was able to identify the criminals, although he himself was in a clinic where he was being treated for cancer. The perpetrators were brought straight there for a confrontation.

Another witness in this case was soon killed. The victim of the killer was Stepanov, who was ordered by Sergei Butorin. After a year and a half of investigation, Alexander was sentenced to nine years of special regime, and Tokarev was placed in a psychiatric hospital for compulsory treatment. It was from there that he was able to escape, and has not yet been found.

The trial of Sergei Butorin

Law enforcement agencies were able to find Butorin back in 1999, when he, having undergone plastic surgery and staging his own funeral, went to Spain.

The trial in the case of Polyansky and Butoroin began in early May 2011, the verdict took more than five hours. Sergei Butorin, whose photo is in this article, was accused of 38 murders and nine attempts, of which 36 murders and all attempts were proven. Sergei was involved in the deaths of people such as Solonik Alexander (the famous killer of Macedonian Sasha), Otari Kvantrishvili (director of the fund for the social protection of athletes). The murders of members of his own gang were also proven. Sergei Butorin hated drug addicts, having learned that some of his people were heavily addicted to drugs, he personally dealt with them. He also became the main organizer of clearing his area of ​​all drug dealers.

The prosecutor requested a life sentence for him, and 17 years of strict regime for Polyansky.

What prison is Sergei Butorin in?

The well-known authority was sent to serve his life sentence in the prison of the regime village of Kharp, which is located in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. "Polar Owl" is located beyond the Arctic Circle and was specially organized for such repeat offenders as Sergei Butorin (Osya). Where the famous authority sits, the Sob River flows, and not far away is the Rai-Iz mountain range. There is no chance of escaping from this place, much less staying alive if you try to escape.

The “polar owl” appears in several television series, so anyone who wants to know where Butorin was imprisoned can see it in person. These are "The Game. Denouement", "Sword-2" and "Insomnia".

Son of Sergei Butorin

While the father is in prison, his son continues his work. Grigory Butorin was detained a year after his father was sentenced. He and several other gang members were arrested while handing over money from a man they had intimidated and extorted from him for a large sum. A case was opened against the participants based on this fact; nothing is known about their other crimes.

Grigory, like his father, lives at the expense of frightened people. He is engaged in racketeering and fully lives up to the expectations of his authoritative parent.

From Spain to the leader of the Medvedkovo-Orekhovsk group operating in Moscow in the 90s Sergei Butorin (Osya). Now the “authority” is accused of 32 murders and attempts. Among the crimes Osa is accused of is organizing the murder of the head of the Athletes Social Protection Fund Otari Kvantrishvili, killer Alexander Solonik and another dozen and a half "Orekhovskys", shot, according to the investigation, on the orders of the Axis during the "purges" in the "brigade".

Extradited by Spain on March 4 and arrested the next day by the Zamoskvoretsky Court in Moscow, 46-year-old Sergei Butorin is now being held in the special block of Matrosskaya Tishina. In the pre-trial detention center he was charged with a new version.

The previous case was presented in absentia in 2000, after which the “authority” was put on the wanted list. Let us note that the new charge was previously agreed upon with the Spanish prosecutor's office - this was a condition of extradition. According to Kommersant, the leader of the Medvedkov-Orekhovskaya “brigade” is now accused of “organizing a criminal community” (Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), “banditry” (Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), as well as 32 "murders" and "attempts"(Article 30 and Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), which, according to the investigation, were committed on the orders of the Axis.

According to the investigation, former warrant officer of the construction battalion from Odintsovo near Moscow, Sergei Butorin, having left the army in the late 80s, got a job as a bouncer in the Moscow cafe "The Scarlet Flower". In 1990, according to detectives, Sergei Butorin, together with his brother Alexander, organized the theft of paintings worth $9 million from the famous Russian collector Viktor Magids (only Alexander Butorin was convicted of this; the court considered Axis’ guilt unproven). While selling stolen goods, he met the founder and leader of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group, Sergei Timofeev (Sylvester), and soon became part of his inner circle.

According to investigators, on April 5, 1994, Sergei Butorin, together with former KGB lieutenant Grigory Gusyatinsky (Grisha Severny), who created and led the Medvedkov group, organized in Moscow the murder of a “reputable businessman” and head of the Social Protection Fund for Athletes Otari Kvantrishvili (he did not share with Sylvester several refineries). Mr. Kvantrishvili was shot by the Orekhovsky killer - a retired officer of the internal troops, holder of the Order of Courage Alexey Sherstobitov (Lesha Soldat). The latter received 23 years in prison according to two sentences of the Moscow City Court.

In 1994, a car with Sylvester was blown up on Tverskaya-Yamskaya in Moscow, after which a struggle for leadership in the organized crime group broke out, Osya joined Sergei Ananyevsky (Kultik) and Yuri Volodin (Dragon). According to the investigation, on February 14, 1995, on the orders of Sergei Ananyevsky, Yuri Volodin and Sergei Butorin, one of the contenders for leadership in the group, the head of the Lianozov “brigade” Yuri Bachurin (Usatii) and his bodyguard Alexei Sadovnikov ( Bath attendant).

In the same 1995, the case says, during internal disputes, Kultik, Dragon, Grisha Severny were killed, after which Osya headed the Orekhovskys, and the brothers Oleg and Andrei Pylev (the first received life imprisonment, and the second - 21 years in prison) - "Medvedkovsky". Then they united and took control of dozens of companies, several banks, and large markets.

In addition, on the orders of the Axis, the investigation believes, several businessmen and leaders of rival gangs were killed by the Orekhovskys. Among the victims of the organized crime group is the famous killer of the Kurgan group Alexander Solonik (Sasha the Makedonsky), who was killed on February 1, 1997 in Greece along with his girlfriend Svetlana Kotova.

At the end of the 90s, Sergei Butorin and the Pylev brothers (by this time they had already moved to Spain) decided to “clean up” their “brigade”, which was starting to cost them too much. From that moment on, on the orders of the Axis, according to the investigation, dozens of Orekhovskys were killed. As the Pylev brothers later explained in court, they and Osya acted on the principle “the fewer of us there are, the more money we will get.”

[Argumenty.Ru 02/11/2010, “Return of the Axis”: According to one version of operatives, Sylvester experienced fierce opposition from other groups that were supervised by thieves in law or corrupt representatives of law enforcement agencies. Therefore, in his organization he created several structures that were not loudly exposed in public gang fights, but were intended exclusively for the elimination of competitors. Such structures include, for example, “Koptevsky”, “Kurgan” (Alexander Solonik of them - Author) and “Orekhovsky”. Moreover, he himself was not a thief in law, but just an authoritative criminal leader.
Over time, representatives of such brigades came to taste the “Timofeevsky” know-how - “shine less, kill more.” They began to show independence, take orders from outside, and then themselves sentenced those criminal leaders whose territories they were going to seize. Hence, the Orekhovskys have such an impressive list of liquidations. According to the prosecution, Sergei Timofeev himself ended up in it. He was blown up in his own car in the center of Moscow.
According to another version, Butorin was almost Sylvester’s right hand. And he received the order for his murder from another now deceased crime boss, Otari Kvantrishvili. But he resolved the situation not in favor of his boss, for which he inherited Timofeev’s empire.
In fact, according to AN, the person who was actually Sylvester’s first adviser constantly kept a low profile and for a very long time did not appear not only on the pages of criminal reports, but even in the most hidden operational developments. His name surfaced briefly during the trial of the Golyanovskaya organized crime group, which was also credited with dozens of contract killings (by the way, many of them included those that will now appear in the case of the leader of the Orekhovskaya gang. - Author). True, the case fell apart and out of two dozen defendants, six people left for the zone. And even then with a short period of time, because the evidence base for the murders turned out to be unconvincing for the court. It is possible that a similar incident will occur during the trial in the Butorin case.
So, Sylvester’s real right hand continues to increase Timofeev’s inheritance, is a very respectable businessman and has not been featured in the press for a long time. Which, you see, is a sign of a cautious mind.
As for Butorin, most likely he is only an order executor who managed to seize some pieces of his victims’ business under his control. But he lost this too, being forced to flee Russia abroad.
At the same time, I had to use a lot of resourcefulness. In particular, he faked his death in Russia and had plastic surgery abroad. Neither one nor the other helped... - K.ru insert] Original of this material

The wasp is allowed to land in its homeland

Spain extradited crime boss Sergei Butorin, nicknamed Osya, to Russia. The former leader of the Orekhovskaya criminal group was not in his homeland for eleven years, and before leaving he had plastic surgery. In Russia, he and his bodyguard killer Marat Polyansky could be sentenced to life imprisonment.

On Thursday, Sergei Butorin, known in criminal circles under the nickname Osya, returned to his homeland, accompanied by Russian escorts. The former leader of the Orekhovskaya criminal group, accused of 40 murders and attempts, has not been in Russia for eleven years. In 1999, he, together with his acquaintance and accomplice, the Orekhovsky killer Marat Polyansky, left for Spain. Two years later, both were arrested and imprisoned for illegal possession of weapons. While the members of the organized crime group were in a Spanish prison, law enforcement agencies of the two countries agreed on the extradition of both: Russia was supposed to receive the Orekhovskys immediately after they served their time in a Barcelona prison. Polyansky was extradited to Russia in October 2009; he is now awaiting trial in one of the pre-trial detention centers in Moscow. […]

As a law enforcement source told Gazeta.Ru, the crime boss was accompanied by officers from the Federal Penitentiary Service and Interpol. Osya was handed over to them at the Madrid airport (Butorin’s term in Barcelona prison ended in October 2009, since then he has been under extradition arrest). The accused of committing grave and especially grave crimes was transported on a regular plane on a regular flight. From Sheremetyevo, Butorin was taken under escort to the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Moscow, which is investigating the case against the authority.

The press service of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation on Thursday confirmed information about Butorin's extradition and recalled that the detention of the Orekhovsky leader in 2001 took place at the request of the Russian prosecutor's office, but due to the fact that Butorin and Polyansky were found with pistols, they first had to serve eight years each in a Barcelona prison. “On December 28, 2008, a new request for the extradition of Sergei Butorin was sent to the competent authorities of Spain. In connection with the lengthy consideration by the Spanish side of the Russian request, the issue of Butorin’s extradition was raised during a working meeting in Madrid between the delegation of the Prosecutor General’s Office and representatives of the Ministry of Justice of the Kingdom of Spain in January 2010,” Maxim Filatenkov, a representative of the Prosecutor General’s Office, described to Gazeta.Ru the procedure for extraditing the criminal authority. .

The negotiations turned out to be productive, and Butorin’s extradition was scheduled for mid-February. Then the leader of the Orekhovskys decided to use the last chance not to return and asked for political asylum in Spain.

“Otherwise, my ward will be killed as soon as he sets foot on Russian soil,” Spanish media quoted lawyer Butorin.

The Prosecutor General's Office, responding to Axis' request, sent a letter to its colleagues in which it reminded: “Granting refugee status to a person accused of committing such a number of serious and especially serious crimes will contradict the provisions of paragraphs. b paragraph F art. 1 of the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees of 28 July 1951.” As a result, on March 1, the National Court of Justice of Spain decided to refuse Butorin’s application for political asylum.

How long the preliminary investigation into the case of Butorin and his accomplice will last in Moscow is still unknown: on Tuesday evening the SKP management was unavailable for comment. In Russia, the former gang leader is accused of more than 40 murders and attempts, the Prosecutor General's Office said. In addition to the charges under Art. 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (murder) he is charged with Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (organization of a criminal community). Based on the totality of these crimes, if investigators and the prosecutor’s office prove his involvement, Butorin faces life imprisonment. […]
