“Fontanka” is known for the shooter who hit the vice-governor of St. Petersburg 25 years ago. Until recently, he was acquitted and sentenced for shooting riot police. It turns out – who does not know him.
Unexpectedly, as if according to the Soviet tradition for the upcoming May holidays, the FSB announced the disclosure of the only unsolved of the iconic crimes of the 90s – the murder on Nevsky Prospekt in 1997 of Vice-Governor Mikhail Manevich.
It is hard not to remember how Anatoly Chubais swore to find and punish those responsible for the death of his friend.
So, according to our information, today the investigation of the central apparatus of the FSB has in mind that the shooter is Arkady Nusimovich.
One employee was killed, another was wounded, the service car was burned. The defeat of the status of the security forces was so powerful that the criminal investigation department had nowhere to go. Nusimovich and his two were taken in April 2016. But that was half the trouble. In January 2019 they were acquitted by a jurywhich was a repeated slap in the face. The released were finalized for other episodes and in September 2020 they were sentenced. Arkady Nusimovich, as the author of the massacre, shone for life, and he grabbed 22 years. It seems that everything was forgotten regarding it.
Arkady Nusimovich never admitted anything. Today he is 64 years old. He is very strong, past the 90s, an athlete. Of those with whom it is useless to talk regarding important things. But since, as they say, tails were trailing behind him, the criminal investigation department of St. Petersburg did not lag behind him. And by the end of 2020, the operatives of the “killer” department came to Manevich. And they didn’t believe themselves.
After all, for a quarter of a century, so many times many have shouted “wolves-wolves.” And, probably, only a year later the situation began to be rechecked by the FSB Anti-Terrorism Service. And so they twirled and so. Finally, they got Nusimovich’s assistant.
This is one of those who in the 90s was always in third roles. But in this case, he worked on the “signal”. That is, on that day, on the morning of August 18, 1997, I was standing not far from the exit to Rubinshtein near the famous Tolstoy house where Mikhail Manevich lived. And when the vice-governor’s service “Volvo” appeared, he said on the radio station, they say, “get ready.” His name means nothing to anyone. There were thousands of them in those days.
What happened next was what was most poignantly described to Fontanka by the wife of Mikhail Manevich. (Don’t be lazy – follow the link).
According to Fontanka, a few months ago, Nusimovich was taken from the camp to Kresty, and the other day, the FSB investigation held a face-to-face confrontation. However, the mystery is deeper.
It is unlikely that any of the operas hoped that Nusimovich would confess. He always led extremely boldly. And it happened.
You can think endlessly or mock. But more often this lies in the psychological plane. Surely, Nusimovich was predicted that he would not be lucky the second time. Life is ahead. “Would you risk it?” Somewhere, trust me. And he testified directly once morest Kumarin-Barsukov. But without the conditions of the order can not do.
According to our interlocutor in Moscow, according to the investigation, Nusimovich received from Kumarin not a one-time reward, but a share in the business. And such that for 10 years he lived, to put it mildly, comfortably. That is, millions of dollars. Another thing is that the agreements were conceptual, and following the arrest of Kumarin in 2007, everything stopped. “Otherwise, Nusimovich would not have gone to the riot police,” the officer reasonably concludes.
