In the structure of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department has recently disappeared so-called " antique " department. The detectives of the department to disclose the specific crimes in the field of culture , art, faleristics , numismatics, philately, bibliomania and other unique aspects of the spiritual life of society.
The Division is purely capital, as in the main city of the country are concentrated all the centers of culture. Major museums , stacks with rare incunabula , rare books , many painters copyists , imitators of the great masters , antiques auctions of various genres from the historical collections of porcelain to old furniture and a lifetime editions of the classics - all distinctive signs of life in Moscow , because this is where the main collection of art treasures .
In Moscow live their owners , the owners of the precious heritage that their relatives from out of the past centuries.
All these masterpieces are of great value . They were hunted by agents of the international community of collectors. Often the case when at auctions in Europe and overseas put up for sale under a million lots, great values that are world renown and disappeared without a trace in Russia . Sellers of these oldtimers prefer to remain anonymous is not it because the treasures fell to them by criminal means ?

Among the salesmen Smart businesses are also some scammers skillfully " vparival " amateurs copies of famous painters , counterfeit coins, badges or fake coupons .
Operatives " antique " CID department for years specialized in the study of the various fields of art . They attended special workshops , factories dating in museums, art galleries , antique shops , and some of them could equally argue with art historians in the discussion on view paintings of the eminent master . And faleristicheskom market easily distinguished award, devoid of the suspension, with solder instead screw. This helps to give out the award for the rare and greatly enhance it in a speculative price .
Of course, the impact of labor " antique " the department did not yield quantitatively " cane accounting ", adopted by the police in the criteria for reporting data . Is not that what led to the elimination of the department , a phenomenon complicated by the requirements of its employees.
Detective, armed with knowledge of the operational- search activity and is well versed in the subject of art - a unique high-level professionals . To acquire such skills , you have to put a lot of effort and time, and not one to beat uvrazhi on art from the Renaissance to the Russian icon painting and painting artists Wanderers .
Crimes of theft of cultural property in the border area of law to civil law relations. In order to bring the investigation to a criminal investigation , the detective must have a unique training. These crimes are particularly sophisticated and require the expertise of specialists in a variety of knowledge of art.
That is why the disclosure of " antique " the department took place about once a year , but their response as thunder rolled , not only for Russia , but also in wide circles involved in the arts in other countries.
Sum of the value of stolen art objects , antiques, collections, rare books reach astronomical figures . Not to mention the church relics returned to its place in the iconostasis of churches.
" Antique " section did not work on a daily summary , and to state the value of the disclosed thefts that had global repercussions. And this is its main difference from other detective units.
There is one particular in the subsistence - operatives " antikvarschikov ." This suppression of theft Awards war veterans with their further resale of foreign faleristov coming to Russia as tourists . Disintegrated in overseas ' flea ' markets are full of rare decorations and medals of the Soviet time , which the country two decades ago marked the valor of their sons and daughters. Stolen Order of Alexander Nevsky and Prince Kutuzov , maybe it is not worth as much as a fake Aivazovsky, " vparenny " not so long ago, art lovers couple, Preobrazhensky , but watch as selling for foreign collectors pyataks honor of his country, for a normal person ordeal .. .
How many times murovskie detectives grabbed the hands of those for whom expensive jewels just trinkets for that pay good currency, and returned the awards to the heroes , and with them the sense of the life they lived . Only for their grateful tears detectives were ready to spend the night in wait for weeks and did not come home.
" Antique " section was an exclusive feature of the capital's investigation , and, presumably , the time necessary to explain everything , and he will return to murovsky system.
Gold stars , plucked from his chest heroes
January 14, 2008 in the Eastern District of Moscow theft occurred . In the capital, many relatives glorious soldiers of the Great Patriotic War. Still alive and a few veterans . These ordinary humble people live in old , sometimes even wooden houses. Their income is very limited . Cash savings in these families do not exist. But they cherish the memory of the heroic time. In the cabinets they cut the ceremonial tunics forties with full military honors, some even with gold stars - the high recognition of the motherland for the feat .
The apartments come across old Muscovites getting to them in private inheritance antique porcelain figurines , pre-revolutionary editions patrons Sytina and Marx , his grandmother's jewelry museum value . All that today enjoys a rabid demand for sidewalk bazaars of the capital cities of Europe and in Moscow itself .
In the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department are well aware of how diligently searching for these heirlooms virtuosos cynical fishing , and when in 2008 in the Eastern District began a series of burglaries in a five-storey building , nondescript block barracks-style buildings , the detectives " antique " department immediately became clear - the work of their clients .
" Antique " section on a small number of operatives , and yet his boss Philip Nemov was able to specialize in groups of employees typical crimes. Therefore, on the message about the next night robbery in the Eastern District of January 14, 2008 Nemov sent to the scene of two rozysknikov - Kistochkina Alexei and Maxim Kochetkov .
The apartment veteran , where visitors have visited the night , nothing special, not profit , but a military tunic with medals , among which was the main order of Kutuzov. Burglars broke into the apartment at night , dragged his jacket and quietly without waking the hosts came out. But they poured on the threshold of the front door of some trash and set it on fire . In this case, immediately called fire brigade , informing the apartment address .
The calculation of the robbers was based on the fact that the fire was all confused , disappeared tunic no longer will be the main event , in addition , the apartment was visited by many outsiders to determine who is actually awarded the Order will be difficult.
Arriving from CID " antikvarschiki " immediately realized that the wolf trick could go very experienced people . And now, faced with the task to find them.
March 8 MOORE " pleased " the message of the theft in the apartment of relatives of the Hero of the Soviet Union Kolomeitseva . Gold Star of Hero received before the forty-first year of participation in military operations in Spain and "White " Finnish campaign . The stars of the first pre-war production at a rare suspension and therefore have a special value to collectors . Faleristov such as fans , obsessed with fad, as numismatists and philatelists . Valuable acquisition for the collection they are ready for everything and do not stop at anything .
But the robbers were disappointed. Precious awards Kolomeitseva stored elsewhere, in a different location.
Exactly a month after the incident, the theft is the right place Storage Awards . This time, the robbers got to the treasured heirlooms.
Analyzing the theft, investigators decided that the leak of information about the correct address could only have arisen from the apartment where the robbers had failed. In addition to the hosts plundered and interrogate them policemen , address unknown to date. Then what ? We must look for thieves among colleagues? Version unpleasant, but requires validation. Asked for help in managing their own security. " Antikvarschikam " reported that in mind there is a staff member named Arkady , who seems to be working for the Eastern District police station . He is known to frequent the place faleristov collection of Moscow near " Ulaanbaatar ". And as if there even offered to someone to buy his medals and stars that are on the list of stolen medals. The detectives looked at each other . Hence, their assumptions are correct.
Within a few hours , they found that it was an Arcadian Serov (name changed) , a militia of about two years, he came to the civil service. Behind him MSU. Working in one of the ATS forensic expert . Along with him an expert working young guy Garik Levchonok (name changed).
In the " antique " depressed department . Catch on to the fact the experts is not easy . Murovskie detectives are the most complex cases , and the difficulties they face as usual . But in this case all the more difficult.
Chronicles " antiquarian department"
Detectives have established secret surveillance of these people and have made them an unusual finding. If only they did commit crimes suspects , their actions are extremely clever . At night, they rob the apartment, and in the morning of themselves come to call and get the remaining value or gently sweep trace their nocturnal adventures .
By the way , at the unit staffed by experts noticed that during the examination of the scene Serov stealing everything that is bad . He did not talk about it again , warning him to stop outrage , but for some reason did not take decisive action . Somehow it turned out that he got away with it . Whether because experts report directly to the chief of the county and to contact them to anyone reluctance. Or maybe thought that all this empty melochovki . Works like normal people - why raise unnecessary dust?
Murovtsev also knew about it and the version now considered the main experts in the investigative actions.
Every Monday staff " antique " department came to Petrovka and the first thing studied urban briefs for Saturday and Sunday. And if in the Eastern District of another burglary took place with the abduction of awards, Murovtsev knew exactly what was there at night have visited those same experts that examined the morning robbed the apartment. Names of experts - Serov and Levchonok .
However, direct evidence of guilt of the Dodgers did not have enough for the realization of their detention. Therefore, the detectives decided to try to catch them in marketing .
Here, the detectives were more fortunate . They learned from the buyers of stolen rewards that they receive through a third party offers to sell from Serov star with his jacket Kolomeitseva . A few more buyers gave detectives a more accurate description of awards, which are fully in line with those that were listed in the search MUR.
In August 2008, the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department for the Prevention of theft of cultural property had accumulated enough evidence to proceed with the arrest of those who brought the detectives so much trouble .
Since it was about actions of the police , took part in the operation of the service management operatives own safety.
Decided to detain robbers red-handed in the act.
Information as a result of the department of complex operational activities was enough to set the time and place of the next night's robbery of the apartment , but now in the Northeast District.
Operatives ambushed watched with interest as the hijackers did not manage to lock down to the car and went back to the door with a defiant janitor scrap . Despite the roar and rattle in the entrance, none of the neighbors did not come out ... The trend , however!
Detained by a friendly couple when they appeared with the loot on the street.
Initially, these guys went to the contact and decided to cooperate with the investigation.
Serov - organizer and sbytchik . He received from collectors and buyers information about the owner of the securities , vintage decorations. In addition, he was found during a search of a book about the heroes of the war , living in the Eastern District , published by the local council of veterans. A Levchonok went to the "six" and was satisfied by his fellow suschimi crumbs ...
When were the lawyers , the police arrested suddenly remembered the 51th article of the Constitution and they took a mouthful of water . It turned out that their preliminary statements were involuntary . They were allegedly beaten , put in a camera to the criminals , which is strictly prohibited in relation to the police , threatened , starved and forced themselves to negotiate in every way .
The lawyer of former investigators devoted Serov especially permissible operational activities during the investigation , including the conditions of the prison regime . And Serov tirelessly wrote a complaint to the guards that bring doctors, inspectors , investigators, detectives - on everyone.
Nemov , Kistochkinu Kochetkova and had given each day to dozens of explanations. Blood because they messed up a lot of complaints Serov ...
Serov - an outstanding person , a good chess player , a skilled coder . In prison , he developed a code of certain words , where a contingent account each letter stand out and could be read whole sentences . This cipher , the key to which was known only to him and his mother , there were indications of will, as much as possible and to confuse the investigation . He instructed the family, so they will file complaints because the press is now " pressed the police ," it is necessary to use his arrest and lead to applications as an example of police brutality ...
But the key to "Serov skanvordov " unraveled Nemov and Kistochkin , and " antique " the department was aware of all the stratagems devised by an expert in prison.
Serov was constantly complaining that the environment is in jail treats him with prejudice. Among the " thugs " who sit a lot of notebooks patriots , they do not really sympathize with kidnappers Awards honored warriors.
During interrogation Kistochkin and advised Kochetkov Serov : you do realize that the stolen rewards you - it's not just personal injury veterans. They still have a huge monetary value . And if you are convicted, to fit you in prison and asked to share bean counters with " important people ." And if you like this you will be stubborn and say that you have nothing , then have their friends will be able to come to your family. For elderly mother, who eighty-four years , and will threaten murder. Is not it better to get rid of a dangerous nest egg and return all respected elders. Making it easier to not only fate, but also do a noble cause for the whole society .
The next day there is a complaint to the prosecutor Murovtsev with charges of threatening to kill them Serov , his wife and mother ...
Among the victims of Serov's famous heroes Kolomeytsev , Pavel , Hero Andrianov . Stars Andrianov one of the first in the register of awards. They are also on a special harness and cause a huge collector's interest . Needless to say, both go crazy over them faleristov !
In spite of the fact that investigators carefully documented facts on eight thefts and secured the evidence , the case progressed or shaky , or rolls . Unnecessary trouble the district authorities to anything.
These experts have dismissed an afterthought. In MOORE came the head of personnel and county long figured out all the details of the ugly stories . And the story really looked ugly. Detectives seized a lot of artifacts from the place of incident. A relative Andriyanova , a professor of the university, has a set of expensive bottles of brandy . Wine collection was seized CID detectives during searches of the suspects , along with other stolen property .
The investigator could not resist temptation , drank a few bottles and did not disdain to take money from his father Levchonka . Binge investigator destroyed the order of the proceedings . Investigator after the scandal was gone , and the detectives then long collected material evidence in different rooms .
Investigation materials were moved to the local prosecutor's office, where it can be said , it's generally not move from the spot. At the core materials were guilty only evidence gathered " antikvarschikami " surgically . All the facts were fixed in strict accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code . But the folder with them lay with no action for a long time .
Kistochkin daily went to the prosecutor asked , made mention of the deadline talked about progress Murovtsev complex work . They listened to him , agree with him , but it never happened , until suddenly one day affair for some reason popped into another prosecutor . Why did this happen , the detectives did not understand . There have new difficulties , lack of staff and technical equipment , and many other reasons relied on by responding to requests operatives speed up the investigation .
Moorea experienced . Special services and those who gathered intelligence - all those involved in this story, waiting for what will end the bureaucratic rigmarole .
While between criminal investigation and the prosecution went altercation , time is ticking inexorably days, and eventually set period of detention expired and the law of suspects released. Three months later, they were living freely , confident that all they can get away with it.
Finally, the case still came to trial, and the judge has found a lot of flaws in the procedural course of the investigation .
During the court proceedings , when it became apparent that the judge had the own opinions about the defendants and expect her to loosen up useless during the recess of Serov ran straight out of the courtroom ...
Despite this, the judge sentenced him in absentia to eleven years in a strict regime , as partner or associate Levchonka to nine years . The composition of the charges included theft of cultural property of historical importance , abuse of power and even bullets were found during a search of the PM and the hunting rifle .
How do I find Murovtsev , these cartridges Serov, for some reason, " whistle " during the inspection of a large apartment ransacked a police chief ...
When a Serov came with a search warrant , his wife has thrown out the window ammunition , investigators picked them all up and made one in the inventory of seized . His wife said that patrons threw himself Serov , and he threw out there , she does not know ...
Serov was caught three months later , the employees in the same department , where he had " served " unless it can be called that word ...
Chronicles " antiquarian department"
Levchonok 'm not running away. He knew that life can not be avoided . He came to the reading of the sentence with things , sandwiches and a thermos of tea. In the little square in front of the court with relatives drank , ate and obediently the verdict went to jail .
But on Kistochkina received by the SDM view of the prosecutor's office that had not been completely searched the stolen artifacts, and investigators had insufficient work with the suspects .
I must say that Kistochkin Cochetkov months and did not get out of the women's prison , where the guilty include law enforcement officers. They are there already admitted his own.
But to achieve from Serov where the hidden relics, and failed . Largely because of the mistakes made during the arrest . We Serov not immediately found a cell phone , and he managed to warn his wife that his " close ", descend home with a search warrant and urgently needs to hide everything . My wife does not let him down. Something is thrown out the window, something fast perepryatat . The questions investigators she replied she was not aware of her husband's affairs , and if he does something wrong, it did not devote their studies .
Faleristichesky world knows that Moore is looking for awards and is looking forward to , and when and where they finally begin to surface . But that's just when will that be? Maybe , exit Serov at will or earlier?
According to investigators, his wife and the mother of all are well aware . There are his relatives in foreign countries . Maybe, they have their own interests in this story.
Once murovskie detectives are making a new attempt to get to the truth , they immediately received a new complaint .
Generally difficult to solve crimes committed by people in uniform and even experts. "In the case" they came to shoes, non-marking . In gloves , hats , glasses , not to know them on the video frames ... Lock Picks for simple locks do themselves . On a search they found tisochki for key blanks , grind and grinding tools .
In one case, on the motion pictures notice that the entrance is a single person, and from there go two! How is this possible ? It turned out that one of the treasure hunters went to the apartment on the second floor of the ladder , the oversight of the window from inside the house , pressed the frame and opened the door from the inside accomplice , has already penetrated into the home.
This ladder Murovtsev found gave it to storage in the local office of VD. And there she quickly adapted to their needs , and when it was necessary to present it as material evidence , it turned out - the stairs are lost from local business executives . An illustrative example of the " sloppiness Russian-style " ...
In one of the burglaries Serov stole disc movies. During the theft in another apartment, he threw it . In the hope that investigators will find someone else's fingerprints and consequently go astray from the right path . And it did . Serov, not knowing the name of the owner of the stolen drive them , gave evidence on the outside , hoping to chance . Suddenly, a fingerprint match ?
The fact that faleristichesky gray market , for years people do not apply to the police for fear of embarrassing questions for themselves .
Serov knew that stealing in the flat statement to the police did not act. Tossing a disc with unknown fingerprints , he hoped to bring down the bloodhounds off the scent . Although in fact as an expert, it would seem, really should know that the world matches the fingerprint forensic science still does not know.
Person who is not involved in the burglary , have already begun to examine how the thumbprint is found on the site of the offense under investigation . Fingerprint examination revealed the machinations of a few people Serov.
Many different legends composed Serov, struggling to find a saving straw ! It turned out that the heroes of the book , in which he found heels for night visits, he also stole the apartment veteran ...
And wrote and wrote slander for slander by the operatives . Even from far away nilly endless "hi" ...
All criminal case - is operational materials extracted Nemov , Kistochkinym and Kochetkov . They had accumulated a lot more than was reflected in the criminal case , and they are reasonably proven in court eight burglaries committed by the persons involved . Results of the murovskih guys , not regretting forces day and night throughout the year and a half .
Nevertheless, for Murovtsev This is a devastating saga ended only diplomas. Apparently, this promotion is enough , believe in the national police !
Korovin's picture and Caucasian daggers
In 2009, the detectives " antique " the department is particularly interested in the group, and two people in it - Grechikhin and Kazarian . They arrived in Moscow from the provinces and doing all in a row here . Something they bought, they sold, they say , "nothing can not tell ! ". And, in particular , through a chain of intermediaries fraudulently appropriated and got rid of Korovin's painting titled " The window ". She's still on the wanted list .
Gone with them is another picture - a poster- type , period style of constructivism. The canvas size is more than a meter.
Murovskie detectives from " antique " the department found it in the exposure of one of the capital's opening days . It was necessary to withdraw the value of the disappeared .
Grouping trades still selling stolen antique weapons . Pistols, daggers, stilettos centuries - old artifacts . These things , they offered to collectors and sellers of antiques , as it became known in the CID .
Buyer decided to send Alexey Kistochkina department . In one of the stores had a meeting , the detective introduced a successful developer wishing to decorate the walls of ancient weapons of his mansion . At a meeting to the detective came Grechikhin - the only guy among Armenian Russian accomplices .
With Grechikhin detective come to an agreement on the sale of his two old Caucasian dagger total price of a thousand dollars. We talked about the sample , had an argument about the price. The transaction took place . And at the same time Murovtsev established surveillance for Grechikhin .
Where will the money for the purchase of control to gain the trust of the sellers of antiques ? That's the question with which the operatives are constantly faced in their work. Decided through intermediaries to seek help from the owners of the stolen weapons - because with the money back to its place in the collections and artifacts dear to their hearts .
But the proposal murovskih detectives understanding among collectors not found . Whether care , whether greed prevail ? And Grechikhin , losing interest in Kistochkinu , ceased contact with him .
In 2010, these people by detectives received information through a chain of intermediaries also kidnapped and sold through the channels of the Old Arbat second picture Korovin - " In the interior ." Worth several hundred thousand euros. The scheme is the same as that of the first sale of the artist's paintings .
In both cases, the victims wrote the statement , but prosecutors refused to prosecute because there was no explanation of the suspects in the theft ...
In general, modern laws - it is a stick in the wheel of Investigation . The prosecutor's office requires the presentation of an explanation from the suspect at the time of excitation of criminal case against him . But if people do not have a permanent residence and migrate at different addresses , will not put a sentry for them ! In the meantime, they are taking advantage of impunity are free to change their place of residence, appear and disappear in different parts of the metropolis and to commit the offense is one for the other.
In this case, they are well versed legally and know their rights. In any case the complaint to the police, violating their civil liberties , business as usual .
In general, for these and other reasons, the criminal case has been opened .
And detectives in the " antique " section on its own initiative continued to seek out hard links in the chain of intermediaries and speculators - those channels which communicate underground antique dealers .
The material accumulated , and in July 2012 was finally obtained the sanction of arrest Grechikhin and Kazarian .
In the investigative unit Murovtsev promised that they will be given every assistance , but within three months the case to slip ... Operatives Kistochkin , old man, Glazkov fill the oncoming on the prosecutor's offices and interrogation .
In November 2012 on the professional holiday, which was attended by prosecutors and investigators, Kistochkin asked the question : why in July on fraud case disclosed " antique " department , has not moved a single step ?
The next day, in SDM called and promised to speed up the proceedings . New investigator accepted the case only at the beginning of 2013, and it became clear that all material evidence and trained detectives operative materials stuck in different prosecutor . They had to collect and restore some of the documents . Again, it all fell on the shoulders of operatives .
In May alone, the case finally came to court. Defendants filed fourteen episodes of fraud , with the damage they cause to the total amount of 60.5 million rubles, which is usually the court charges the defendants !
Is such damage detected operas , to be precise , trouble-free workhorse , not a resounding response, decorating Moore's work ?

[QUOTE][FONT="Georgia"]In January 2014, he resigned. In March, the court sentenced: Ghazaryan received nine, and Grechikhin ten years in a General regime colony. Contrary to the expectations of the police, the case went completely unnoticed, and the sentence is left with many questions — for example, unclear role Patimat Gammaduwa, and which after the loss of the picture Korovin continued to give the fraudsters a part of his collection. Ghazaryan said that the idea of the theft "At the window" was hers, but the judge wasn't interested. Most of the stolen goods, the police found in Moscow pawn shops and dealers, but both Korovin paintings still missing. On the website gallery Cyril Belyaninov hanging ads "At the window".
