Using a heavy post-war situation and gullible citizens, gang Mitin repeatedly "plucked" large sums of money and escaped unharmed. The investigators have complicated the absence of members of the gang all ties with the criminal world - they are exemplary workers Krasnogorsk defense enterprise. On the criminal path krasnogortsy rose 1 February 1950, when the first kill, and on March 26 they had a big robbery. The words "all stand! We are from the Ministry of State Security! "- Shout out at the store, discouraged employees. Taking advantage of the confusion, the criminals cleared cash in the amount of 63 thousand rubles - a big jackpot at the time. Not a joke now MGB agitated March 27, 1951. On that day, armed with pistols "mitintsy" robbed a store in Kuntsevo, killed trying to stop them director. From this point to the Middle giving Stalin it was only a few kilometers away! Investigators interested in the fact that all the crimes committed by bandits near the stadium. Indeed, some of the attackers turned out to athletes. Near Krasnogorsk stadium "Murovtsev" and attacked on the trail of a gang Mitin. The rest was a matter of technique.

A distinctive feature of the criminal group was the use of self-made firearms and detailed study plan robberies. The main objectives of the gang became shoplifting revenues and wages carried collectors. But the bandits desperately unlucky - if they pursued doom. That collectors do not come on time, the planned near the site of the crime they frighten a familiar face. Yet as luck conscious citizens are not afraid of armed intruders and provide resistance. However, the bandits did not stand on ceremony - they did not have to shoot throw at them with a stick the old man. The conscience of the perpetrators 14 armed attacks, several murders and 150 thousand rubles stolen. Curiously, one of the gang members often Samasyuk colleagues admitted that dreams die on the bag with money. July 7, 1973 his wish was fulfilled when a shootout with the police the last time he clung to the coveted treasure. In this day and ended the inglorious history of "Fantomas".
3 "anyhow» In the mid-1970s Kazan wave of youth crime. Gang could easily figure out their relationship without active opposition from the police. The city lived in constant fear. Very quickly, the leader of the bandit movement had escaped "Tyap-lyapovtsy" (ironic name associated with the plant "Teplokontrol"), who not only fought with competitors from other regions - they were killed. One of the leaders of the group Hantimirov did not set a goal as to beat and maim. The cult of power, he formed and their subordinates. Immigrants from "rocking" could easily stab a knife or a hammer to death a passerby. Demonstrative and bloody campaign of intimidation "Tyap-lyapovtsy" staged in the "Palace of Culture. Uritskogo "during the disco. Bursting into the room, they began to cripple the iron bars in the building of young people. Even severely traumatized adolescents did not complain to the police - were afraid of reprisals. Bandits are so emboldened that they began to use firearms and grenades. Only August 31, 1978, when they entered into a serious confrontation with the police, the police have had to use force and neutralize the gang. Four active members of the group were sentenced to death, including Hantimirov, the rest were sentenced to long terms.

"Sanitation", addicts with experience, were lower-level bandit performing menial jobs. It is clear why we need the money the robbers - an ampoule of morphine or promedola cost about 25 rubles, and they required constant "recharge." It was a circular system: money allows you to buy the drug and selling it gave the opportunity to earn even more. Bandits ruined by greed.

On the streets of Leningrad began to appear more and more leaflets, where the unknown, the organization calling themselves "White Cross", urged citizens to join the armed struggle against the "red fascism". Today the People, however, did not shun any robberies or murders - all for a great cause. Operatives of homicide for a long time failed to trace the perpetrators, and not surprisingly, among them was the organizer of the "liberation movement" - a police officer Arkady Mokeev. Using someone else's service weapons during the year dodgy criminals excited residents of Leningrad. In particular, members of the group killed collector, encroaching on the large amount of money, shot clock, trying to break into the armory of the military unit. But all failed. Gang arrested during the preparation of terrorist acts. Mokeeva accomplices were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, and the leader of the shooting, which was later commuted to life imprisonment. This happened a year before the fall of the USSR.
