The Investigative Committee announced that it had completed the investigation of the criminal case against Maxim Martsinkevich (Tesak) and six associates of the nationalist. This is stated in the telegram channel of the department.
In addition to Martsinkevich, we are talking about the nationalists Semyon Tokmakov, Pavel Khrulev, Aleksey Gudilin, Alexander Lysenkov, Andrey Kayle and Maksim Khotulev. All were charged with the murder of two or more persons, committed with particular cruelty motivated by national hatred (Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code).
According to investigators, in the fall of 2003, Martsinkevich and other defendants who were part of a neo-Nazi group led by Tokmakov killed two people in the Smolensk region, and in December of the same year, two more people in the Sergiev Posad district of the Moscow region. After that, the Investigative Committee notes, the defendants sent appeals about intolerance to foreigners to the embassies of several states.
Also in 2007, SK writes, Martsinkevich, Marshakov, Korotkikh and Aristarkhov killed a native of Dagestan and an unidentified person in the Losiny Ostrov park in Mytishchi, and then published a video of the crime on the Internet. We can talk about the recording “The Execution of a Tajik and a Dag”, in which two masked men against the backdrop of a Nazi flag kill two people — they cut off the head of the first and shoot the second in the back of the head — and call themselves representatives of the National Socialist Party of Russia.
«There can be no suicide on my part». The life and death of Tesak, the most famous Russian ultra-right
Martsinkevich, sentenced to ten years in the case of the ultra-right Restrukt movement, was found dead in a pre-trial detention center in September 2020 while being transferred from Krasnoyarsk to Moscow. According to the security forces, the neo-Nazi committed suicide.
The Investigative Committee claimed that before his death, Tesak confessed to involvement in two double murders and spoke about the burial place, which, according to investigators, became “a very serious motive for depriving himself of life.» Tesak retracted this testimony in the third of the discovered suicide notes.
The Investigative Committee, in turn, refused to open a case on the death of a neo-Nazi in the Chelyabinsk pre-trial detention center. A court in three instances declared this decision illegal.
In July, a court in Mytishchi sentenced nationalists Sergei Marshakov and Maxim Aristarkhov to 17 and 16 years of strict regime in the case of murder in Losiny Ostrov Park (Part 2 of Article 105 UK). According to the court, they prepared a place for the murder of two people of «non-Slavic origin» and found potential victims.
