He was an authority in the criminal world, also had connections in law enforcement agencies.
“You have not yet understood that they have nothing at all, except for your words, that you are planting everything yourself. It doesn’t matter what happened – what matters is what can be proven. You imprison yourself, then you wonder why you … Oh, that you are all so sycophant … “It still needs to be proven to them. It’s just that the less you talk, the harder it will be to prove all this.. Try to say less, and everything will come out … Well, we don’t need a jury, actually. Ny, I think so. Because, as it were, if there are judges, well, let them prove … That if you hadn’t started telling all this, nothing would have happened at all … The fact is that everyone else was closed because of you. If you had just kept quiet, you would have sat for a year, damn it. We would all be at home with our own children!” These are the phrases that the “authority” Konstantin Piskarev (Kostya Bolshoi) uttered after the confrontation with a member of the organized criminal group Mishin. On account of the Kostya group, dozens of murders and some of the bandits began to cooperate with the investigation. Mishin’s testimony is published today by Rucriminal.info.
“The testimony of Mishin D.S. as an accused, according to which, after serving in the army, he began working for his father at the Stroyrost company, then began working at the Bauman market and maintaining relations with members of the Bauman criminal group. At one of the meetings, Mishin met Piskarev, who impressed him as a man with great potential and material resources. Mishin decided that by working with Piskarev, he could achieve great success.
Around August 2001, Mishin began working for Piskarev: he acted as a driver, filmed Piskarev’s meetings on a video camera, photographed various places, cars, people. The resulting photographs (films or photographic equipment) were given to Piskarev by Mishin. Also, Mishin, on behalf of Piskarev, carried out surveillance of people. Piskarev gave Mishin a verbal description of the persons or vehicles that had to be monitored. Piskarev paid about $200 a month for his work. When joining the Mishin gang, it also included Saryan, Stolyarov, Fedoseev, Zemtsov, Zamyatin, Lupichev, Aleksandrov, Sergey Bezrukov.
Being in a gang, Mishin brought Makarov, who in turn brought Bezrukov Sergey Yuryevich and Shchesnyak to the gang. The base and gathering place of the gang members was the Burevestnik yacht club. The activities of the criminal group were quite well organized, the leader was Piskarev, everything was controlled directly by him, his authority was indisputable, everyone strictly followed his instructions. The group had firearms, for which, according to Mishin, Saryan was responsible, who was generally responsible for the material support of the gang, gave out crimes and clothes, technical “wages”. Saryan was responsible for providing the necessary items for the preparation of communications, means for suppressing cellular communications, cars, weapons, ammunition. Saryan also carried out surveillance and technical training. Lupichev, nicknamed the Dragon, was a performer, he did not solve any difficult issues. Alexandrov, nicknamed Nixon, was also a simple performer, in addition, he was associated with weapons.
In the gang, Mishin met a wanted man named Andrey, who had the nickname Gloomy (according to the investigation, Stolyarov), who had a fake passport and driver’s license made with the help of Piskarev. Stolyarov, according to Mishin, was a cunning, two-faced intriguer who liked to do everything with the wrong hands, could set someone against each other. Piskarev did not like Stolyarov, he did not entrust him with serious work and gave him control over Zemtsov. Stolyarov brought Alexandrov to the group. Stolyarov was instructed to spy on people, everything naturally happened at the command of Piskarev. Stolyarov was also present at the meetings where Piskarev took him. In addition, Stolyarov carried out Piskarev’s minor assignments related to transportation and meetings. At the direction of Piskarev, after the arrest of Zemtsov, Stolyarov collected money from controlled merchants and continued to do the work that he did under Zemtsov.
After the death of Fedoseev, S.A. Bezrukov took his place. nicknamed the Commissioner. Bezrukov S.A. engaged in the sale of confiscated equipment and property by court decisions.
Piskarev was an authoritative person in the criminal world, and also had connections in law enforcement agencies and other government agencies. Mishin regularly used Piskarev’s connections when running his personal non-criminal business. Later, when Mishin became an accomplice in several murders, he became afraid that Piskarev would not let him go and deal with him.
Piskarev led the gang at first with the help of Zamyatin: he discussed with him all his actions and his decisions. Zamyatin came from the Orekhovskaya group, in the Piskarev group he was, as it were, in the shadows, but Piskarev listened to his opinion. Zamyatin knew about everything that was happening in the group. Zamyatin helped Piskarev “grow up”, it was he who introduced Piskarev to criminal authorities. Zamyatin served in Afghanistan, was a member of various criminal groups.
Mishin often saw Zamyatin at the base, where the latter communicated very well with Piskarev, so to speak “heart to heart”, that is, he was friends with Piskarev. Later, when Piskarev earned his authority, Zamyatin stopped frequently visiting the Burevestnik yacht club, since Piskarev managed to resolve issues without Zamyatin’s direct participation.
It was not customary in the gang to spend free time together, to share information. Often Mishin did not know about the crimes committed by others,
Piskarev was not in the habit of explaining the purpose of joint trips, he did not report the reasons for the murder of different people, he only explained to each participant in the crime what exactly he should do.
Before committing murders, Piskarev dressed in discreet, dark clothes and put on gloves. Piskarev’s outerwear could have been hooded, because sometimes, when committing murders, he put a hood over his head and pulled it tightly, so that only his eyes were visible. Piskarev was preparing to commit the murder while in the back seat of the car, while he could use makeup, for which he had a suitcase with makeup accessories. Piskarev could use artificial beards, mustaches and the like. In addition, Piskarev had a bag with tools that he used for torture.
