Sure, here is the translation:People of Yenakiyevo — Alexander Baturin

Strangely enough, but true. In Ukraine, gangsters from the entourage of Yuriy Ivanyushchenko (Yenakiyevsky) are still at large.

Not only do these people have a lot of blood on their hands from pre-war banditry, but during the war, Yenakiyevsky’s bandits actively operated on the side of the separatists, helped seize cities, and killed, killed, killed. And now they can be easily found in prestigious restaurants in Kyiv. Strange, isn’t it? Or is it all explained by the fact that Yenakiyevsky’s bandits have now become a link in the smuggling chain, in which the SBU is also involved? We provide information about one of the "authorities" from Yenakiyevsky’s circle, who is now in Kyiv and actively engaged in the smuggling business. Maybe voluntary battalions will need the surnames of Yenakiyevsky’s accomplices and "Batura".

During operational-search measures in Artemivsk, citizen Ilchenko A.I. was identified, who in a confidential conversation reported that 17.05.94 in the cafe "Bagira," Artemivsk, the murder of citizen Chepikov N.G. occurred, who arrived in Artemivsk from Armavir posing as "thief in law," engaged in collecting money for "common fund" supposedly for further transfer to the "zones". The organizer of this crime is, according to Ilchenko, the leader of one of Artemivsk’s criminal groups, Knypa N.N. Witnesses to this crime are Popova N.N., Soboleva G.B., and Ilchenko A.I.

When verifying the information, it was found that on the night of 17.05.1994 in the cafe "Bagira," Artemivsk, Chepikov N.G. was invited by Knypa N.N. to clarify the purpose of Chepikov’s visit to Artemivsk and the true state of affairs. On the same day 17.05.94 Chepikov N.G., Ilchenko A.I., Chepikov’s cohabitant — Popova N.N., Soboleva G.B., as well as a certain young man named Oslan, whose identity has not been established, went by car "Moskvich-2141," reg. no. Ch12-24VG, coffee-colored, belonging to Chepikov N.G., to Dolidze’s birthday in Debaltseve, who is Oslan’s childhood friend.

Around 10 p.m., being at Dolidze’s birthday party, Chepikov N.G. stated he had a meeting with Knypa N.N. in the cafe "Bagira," Artemivsk, after which all the aforementioned people went to Artemivsk in Chepikov’s car. They arrived at the cafe "Bagira" around midnight 17.05.94. At that time, in the cafe were present: Penkovtsev V.A., Bezrukov V.M., Goncharov A.N., and the staff of the cafe "Bagira".

In the cafe "Bagira," a conflict arose between Chepikov and "Vlad" because allegedly Chepikov humiliated Knypa in the eyes of Dolidze. After this, "Vlad" took Chepikov out of the cafe, and Chepikov was not seen again. It became known that Chepikov N.G. was killed by "Vlad" that evening.

During operational-search measures, it was found that Chepikov N.G. had a brother, Revenko V.A. An operative group visited ITC-11 in Bryanka and met with Revenko. During the conversation, Revenko explained that 4.05.94 Chepikov visited him, carrying a large sum in rubles and US dollars. Revenko also explained that Chepikov N.G. was involved with representatives of Chechen groups engaged in illegal arms sales, and he maintained close relations with criminal elements of the Krasnodar region. According to Revenko V.A., the money was given to Chepikov by representatives of the "Chechen mafia," but for what purpose, he did not explain. Revenko stated that Ilchenko A.I. knew about the money. According to Revenko, Chepikov could have been killed for money, and Ilchenko A.I. might be involved in it.

After Chepikov N.G.’s disappearance in Artemivsk, a representative of the Krasnodar region’s criminal element "Sivy" arrived with a group of "Chechens," who might stay at the home of Revenko’s nephew, Zhuravlyov Mykola, residing in the village of Privillya, or at the former residence of the Revenkos in Lysychansk.

The criminal group engages in robberies, holdups, and murders using automatic firearms, comprising: Penkovtsev V.A., Goncharov A.N., Nazarov V.V.

The involvement of Penkovtsev’s group in the murder of Slesarev and Korygov, which occurred on 11.02.94 in Artemivsk, has been established.
On 18.05.95, Penkovtsev and Goncharov were detained, on 19.05.95 – Nazarov, who confessed, explaining that on 11.02.94, around 8 a.m., Penkovtsev, having previously arranged, came to Nazarov’s home in a white BMW with Moscow plates. A black sports bag was in the car. Nazarov drove the BMW, brought Penkovtsev to the liquor-vodka factory building, where the latter exited with the bag and told Nazarov to drive to a parallel street. Around 8:13–8:20, Nazarov heard automatic gunfire, and after 3–5 minutes, Penkovtsev approached the car with a bag in hand. He wore a black knitted hat on his head. After sitting in the car, Penkovtsev told Nazarov to leave the city towards the city of Pervomaisk.

Upon leaving Artemivsk, Nazarov asked what was in the bag, Penkovtsev replied – weapons. In the territory of the Luhansk region, Nazarov asked Penkovtsev who was killed, the latter replied Slesarev and two guards. Upon arrival in Pervomaisk, Penkovtsev handed the bag with the weapon to Melnik A.D. After that, Nazarov, Melnik, an unknown person, and Penkovtsev left Pervomaisk in BMW, where in a forest belt, Penkovtsev, assisted by Nazarov, burnt his clothes, first soaking them with gasoline. Then all present returned to Melnik’s home, where they consumed alcoholic drinks.

Penkovtsev, Goncharov, and Nazarov were detained under the Law of Ukraine dated 29.07.94 "On preliminary detention" for 30 days.

Penkovtsev claimed he was arrested by the Donetsk region prosecutor’s office for the murder of Artemivsk’s criminal authority Slesarev. Penkovtsev said that during the murder, he was part of a group of three. In addition to this murder, their group committed 8 murders of criminal authorities, all murders committed using automatic weapons – they mentioned the murder in Mariupol in 1994.

Penkovtsev recounted the circumstances surrounding the murder in Kremenchuk in 1992. They arrived in Kremenchuk in a VAZ-2109 vehicle. Before the assassination with a grenade launcher, they blew up a KamAZ refrigerator truck leaving a hangar, then shot a "Nissan-Patrol" vehicle with four people (criminal authorities of Kremenchuk) with automatic weapons, among whom was the director of a company dealing with intercity refrigerator and trailer transport. Shortly before this, this director refused to fulfill an order for a large shipment of drugs from Russia to Makiivka. The assassination order was given by "Rvanny", who provided weapons for the murder and, upon its execution, paid Penkovtsev 20 thousand US dollars. This money Penkovtsev handed to a certain director in Artemivsk for investment, the profit from which was given back to Penkovtsev, thereby laundering the money.

Information received about the murders committed by Penkovtsev, Goncharov, and Nazarov:

Dvornoho M. I., Kramarenko E. L., Brazhnyk A. P., which occurred on 6.09.94 in the Kuybyshev district of Donetsk;

S., which occurred on 11.04.95 in the Voroshilov district of Donetsk, one of Odessa’s authoritative entrepreneurs. The organizer of this murder is a resident of Petrovsk, Luhansk region, Zhuravlyov O. A.

Pen’kovtsev V. A., Goncharov A. N., Nazarov V. V. and Baturin A. V. committed extortion against the residents of Pervomaisk, Luhansk region, Polishchuk V. Ya. and Paltsev S. I. By threatening family members with violence, they took Polishchuk’s and Paltsev’s VAZ-2109 and VAZ-21099 cars and demanded the transfer of USD 7,000, forcing the latter to leave Ukraine.

On 02/03/95 at 17:40, a report was received by the police from the supply chief of MPZHT Levchenko S. V. that she, together with the rationing engineer Mokrous A. V., was drinking alcoholic beverages in the chief engineer’s office with the director Sizonno S. G. At 17:25, an explosive device was thrown into the window of the said office by an unknown criminal, the explosion of which led to Sizonno’s death.

During the investigation of this crime, it was found that Sizonno S. G. maintained a connection with the criminal authority Ivchenko S., known as "Rambo", a resident of Yenakiieve. Ivchenko was an active member of Dolidze’s organized crime group. He was allocated the "sphere of influence" of Svitlodarske town and Myronivsky village. Ivchenko often visited Sizonno at his place of work. Also, in 1994, Sizonno maintained relations with a resident of Svitlodarske, Dubrovy Valeriy (nicknamed "Dubryk"), who was part of Ivanushchenko Yu.’s group (from Yenakiieve).

Around 14.07.94, Ivchenko S. went missing. On 23.12.94, Dubrovy V. disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown, and on 03.02.1995, Sizonno S. was killed.

Sizonno maintained connections with criminal groups through Dubrovy and Ivchenko, who defended him from other criminal groups. Analyzing the available information, it can be assumed that Ivchenko and Dubrovy regularly received money from Sizonno and engaged in illegal transactions with him, and when they were gone, unknown individuals appeared who demanded money from Sizonno. This led to the mentioned crime being committed for refusal.

Data were obtained that Dubrovy V. was killed on 23.12.1994 in Krasne village with a firearm by his acquaintances Skiba Vitaliy, Liu Oleksandr, and Medvedev Vyacheslav during a memorial meal with the Meskhetian Turks. Dubrovy’s body was placed in his BMW-320 car and taken away in an unknown direction. Skiba, Liu, and Medvedev subsequently went into hiding. There is data that the criminal authority Baturin took measures to locate Skiba, Liu, and Medvedev.

OBOP of Yenakiieve has data that around 14.07.94, the resident of Yenakiieve, Ivchenko Sergey, was planning to celebrate his birthday. He left for Donetsk early in the morning for shopping, and from 7 to 11 a.m., he was sought by the phone by the director of the autobase P-O "Ordzhonikidzeugol" Rukhadze S. Zh. At 11 a.m., Ivchenko arrived home, where Korotun Oleksandr, Lefterov Oleksandr, and his wife were present. Rukhadze called by phone. Ivchenko talked for a few minutes, was very agitated, and said over the phone, "come."

According to Karatunov’s testimony, Ivchenko, Lefterov, and he left home, a company car "Volga" driven by Rukhadze arrived, Ivchenko got into his car and left. Since then, Ivchenko’s whereabouts are unknown. Information was received that Ivchenko was taken to the house of Zuev A. P. in Yenakiieve, where he was killed in the yard with a firearm by a young man named Vlad from Artemivsk. The body was taken away by car by Drozdov Dmitry and Zaitsev Ruslan and buried in the Verovka village area.

On 20/09/96, the state prosecutor, prosecutor of the regional prosecutor’s office Pavlov I. V., during the support of the prosecution, proposed to the court to apply the exceptional penalty—execution for severe crimes committed by Pen’kovtsev, 15 years imprisonment for Nazarov, and 10 years imprisonment for Goncharov. However, the court acquitted Pen’kovtsev and Goncharov, and convicted Nazarov to 2 years imprisonment.

Text of the message, dated 13.05.2006. Puduk shared with the source that he once lived with his acquaintance, rented an apartment in the building where Rukavkov lives, but now is quarrelling with her and lives with his parents. About a month before the explosion, one of Kovalov S. P.’s relatives took the apartment keys, explaining that one of his friends with his wife wanted to rent the apartment in that area for a month or two. Puduk handed the keys, but then the apartment owner called him and raised complaints that some men were allegedly living in her apartment.

Puduk knows that there was previously a "split" in the "brigade", and Kovalov S. P. is in hiding. The fact that people whom Sergey—a relative of "Koval" visited lived in the apartment and later an explosion occurred, he considers accidental.

Alexander Baturin was a member of the Yenakiieve criminal group, led by Mr. Zuev with the nickname "Zuy", and was arrested for extorting personal property from one of the entrepreneurs in Makiivka. Baturin and his criminal group have been extorting money for the past 4 years, collecting so-called tribute from merchants and private entrepreneurs in Yenakiieve, Kirovsk. Part of the criminally earned money was given by Baturin to a local criminal authority—man named Yuriy, with the nickname "Maly", who is the "guardian" of the criminal "common fund". It was also established that before his arrest, Baturin maintained friendly relations with criminal authorities of the Donetsk region — Knipa, Renat, Givi, through whom he acquired firearms and ammunition. Baturin and his group feuded with the Dolidze criminal group for the past 4 years. This was due to the murder of one of their group’s members with the nickname "Yes’ka", committed by the Dolidze group in 1994. Baturin also claims that the murder of resident Chekerda of Yenakiieve and Shishkin Sergey with the nickname "Shisha" was carried out by members of the Dolidze criminal group.
