Kommersant has learned that the Main Investigative Directorate of the ICR for the Moscow Region has completed an investigation into the murder of businessman Nikolai Martynov, who was shot dead two years ago in Iksha near Moscow. The crime, according to investigators, ordered business partner Mr. Martynov, who contracted Gennady Korotenko, a retired colonel of the GRU, who is now a centurion of the Volga Cossack army, to play the role of a killer. Friends do not believe in the involvement of a veteran, marked with a dozen combat awards, in a contract killing. According to their version, he really did not part with the Makarov pistol, but used the weapon only to protect businessmen and garden plots.
56-year-old Nikolai Martynov, co-founder of the Cypriot company Clinolia Holding Limited, which owns several enterprises in Russia for the production of raw materials and equipment for the oil and gas and chemical industries, was killed on March 30, 2014 near his private house in Iksha, near Moscow. On the evening of that day, the businessman returned home after attending a performance at the Vakhtangov Theater. Leaving the car, he began to open the gate with the key and at that moment came under fire. The killer's bullets hit Mr. Martynov in the head and chest. The driver managed to take the seriously wounded man to the district hospital, but after several operations and intensive care, the businessman still died without regaining consciousness.
Having accepted the criminal case of murder for their proceedings, the investigators of the Main Investigative Committee of the ICR for the Moscow Region first qualified the crime as the result of a certain conflict situation that suddenly arose for the businessman - under Part 1 of Art. 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (murder). However, finding criminals for a long time failed.
The breakthrough in the investigation occurred, one might say, by accident, and the operational measures carried out 400 km from the capital contributed to the disclosure of the crime. On August 5, 2015, in the Avtozavodsky district of Nizhny Novgorod, operatives from the regional FSB and the police opened a private garage, which was literally filled to the brim with army weapons. Among the confiscated were Kalashnikov assault rifles, assault rifles with optical sights, two machine guns, grenade launchers, a collection of daggers, sabers and other edged weapons, countless ammunition of various types and calibers, and, finally, a portable anti-aircraft missile system"Needle".
On the same day, the owner of the garage was arrested, local Gennady Korotenko, who had a Makarov pistol in his pocket at the time of the meeting with the operatives. The detainee himself explained that he took the PM to protect the garden plots, in which his organization is involved - "Cossack freemen named after Yermak Timofeevich", which is structurally part of the Volga Cossack army. The found arsenal, according to the Cossack, did not belong to him, but to some "accidental acquaintance" to whom he rented his garage. The tenant was allegedly involved in the supply of goods to gun shops and could use the garage as a transshipment base for goods.
However, the police version of Mr. Korotenko, who started the investigation, did not believe it - the centurion was arrested on charges of illegal arms trafficking (Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Some time later - apparently, thanks to the examinations - the investigation managed to establish that a businessman in the Moscow region was shot dead with a pistol seized in Nizhny.
In this regard, the Nizhny Novgorod episode was combined with a criminal case of murder and transferred to the production of the Main Investigative Committee of the ICR for the Moscow Region. There, in addition to the charges already brought against the Cossack, the charge of murder was added. It is worth noting that after his interrogation, the crime was already qualified as custom-made and committed as part of a group (clauses “g” and “h”, part 2, article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
Four months later, the probable customer of the murder was found and taken into custody - he turned out to be Mr. Martynov's 35-year-old business partner Anton Erokhin. According to the investigation, about a year before the assassination attempt, serious disagreements arose between the businessmen. The partners, who own Clinolia Holding Limited in equal shares, could not divide the company and its assets in any way. Among them were several enterprises in Nizhny Novgorod region producing acetone, ethanol and other chemical reagents used for the needs of the oil and gas industry - Sintez OJSC, Sintez Acetone LLC, etc. First, the co-founders agreed that Mr. Erokhin would buy out his share in Clinolia from Mr. Martynov for 2.6 billion rubles, however, at some stage of the auction, the price, apparently, seemed too high to the buyer. As a result, according to investigators, he decided to simply eliminate the seller by contracting the Cossack Korotenko, who provided him with security services, for this action. The centurion, as the investigation believes, agreed to organize and carry out the murder for 1 million rubles.
It should be noted that neither the defendants themselves, nor their lawyers, having familiarized themselves with the charges, did not agree with the position of the investigation. So, for example, representatives of Anton Erokhin believe that he had no motive for killing a partner, since, shortly before the crime, the businessmen, according to their version, concluded a "mutually beneficial deal." With the death of Mr. Martynov, the financial position of the prospective customer "significantly worsened." This, by the way, is evidenced by the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court, which declared Mr. Erokhin, who owed more than 383 million rubles to one of the banks as a guarantor for loans, bankrupt.
Do not agree with the accusations and representatives of the Volga Cossacks, who consider the centurion Korotenko a hero and an example to follow. The retired colonel, according to them, took part in at least three wars - Afghan, Abkhaz and Chechen. He was awarded the Orders of Courage, the Red Banner and the Red Star, the medals "For Courage" and "For Military Merit", and besides, he received the title of Hero of Abkhazia and for a special manifestation of courage and courage - the Order of Leon of a little-recognized republic.
As Sergey Akimov, chairman of the board of Volnitsa, explained to Kommersant, having detained his comrade-in-arms with a weapon, law enforcement officers simply decided to "hang" a murder on him, to which he had nothing to do. Now the investigation, according to the Cossack, is dragging out time under various pretexts, since it does not have "a single proof" of the centurion's involvement in the crimes. So, in his opinion, the fingerprints of the centurion Korotenko were not found on the seized weapons, and the suspicious tenant of the garage in the Avtozavodsky district, about which he spoke, was never identified.
“Old man Korotenko is not a mummer, of which there are many now, but a real tribal Cossack,” Mr. Akimov said. “In the past, he was a military officer, a colonel of the GRU. has been in Abkhazia for the time being, being a hero and an honorary citizen of this country".
Cossack Akimov, according to him, does not undertake to judge the origin of the Makarov pistol found in Gennady Korotenko, but he is sure that the centurion needed the weapon exclusively for peaceful purposes. For the protection of garden plots in the Nizhny Novgorod region, in which "Volnitsa" is constantly involved, and infrequent business trips to the capital - in Moscow, the centurion worked as a guard for businessmen.
In the Main Investigative Committee of the ICR, Kommersant confirmed the end of the investigation in the high-profile case, saying that now the defendants are getting acquainted with the materials of the investigation.

As it became known to Kommersant, a legal incident that threatens to turn into a legal scandal occurred during the investigation into the murder of Nikolai Martynov, who worked in the oil and gas industry, in March 2014. The investigation established the retired GRU officer Gennady Korotenko, accused of carrying out the crime, largely thanks to the results of DNA examinations. Meanwhile, while the defendants in the case are waiting for the start of the process, the ex-employee of the company of the deceased businessman Lada Ryasnova tried, using DNA samples obtained from the investigation, to achieve recognition of the businessman as the father of her daughter, who was born out of wedlock. Despite the fact that experts confirmed paternity with an accuracy of more than 99.9%, the Zyuzinsky Court of Moscow did not convince them. The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation should put an end to this issue.
Kommersant has learned that the reason for the unexpected civil trial came after the murder of 56-year-old businessman Nikolai Martynov three years ago. V different years he worked in the largest Russian and international oil companies, and then organized his own business, becoming a co-founder of the Cypriot company Clinolina Holding Limited, which owns enterprises in Russia for the production of equipment for the oil and gas and chemical industries. Late in the evening on March 30, 2014, the businessman returned to his cottage in Iksha near Moscow. A killer was waiting near the businessman's house, who shot him several times. The bullets hit the chest and head, six days later the victim died in the hospital. The Main Investigative Committee of the ICR for the Moscow Region opened a murder case, but, as Kommersant said, it was possible to detain the alleged killer only in August 2015. Then the employees of the Federal Security Service of the Nizhny Novgorod region found in the Avtozavodsky district regional center garage, literally stuffed with weapons and ammunition. The owner of the garage turned out to be Gennady Korotenko, a retired GRU colonel. He was detained, during a personal search, a Makarov pistol was confiscated from him. According to him, he did not know about the armory, because he rented the garage to another person (however, no tenant was found). Meanwhile, the pistol found at Gennady Korotenko's, according to the results of the examination and examination of the bullet casing, was recognized as the very weapon from which Nikolai Martynov was shot. The retired colonel was charged with murder, and the alleged customer of the crime was soon detained - he, according to investigators, is another co-owner of Clinolina Holding Limited, 35-year-old Anton Erokhin. According to the investigation, he tried to buy out his share in the company from Mr. Martynov, but the businessmen did not agree on the price, and Mr. Erokhin hired him for 1 million rubles. killer to eliminate a partner. The investigation has already been completed, now the defendants are getting acquainted with the case materials.
Meanwhile, Lada Ryasnova, who worked as an employee of the control and audit service in the company of Mr. Martynov, filed a civil suit with the Zyuzinsky District Court of Moscow. She stated that she was in a civil marriage with a businessman (the official wife of the oilman had already lived abroad for several years by that time) and gave birth to his daughter Yaroslav. Ms. Ryasnova asked to establish Martynov's paternity in relation to her daughter, which would give the right to give the child his last name and "to exercise the inheritance rights of a minor." At the request of the court, the investigators provided data on the DNA profile of Mr. Martynov, which were used in the course of the investigation and filed with the case as material evidence. It was the results of DNA examinations that became one of the key evidence of Mr. Korotenko's involvement in the crime.
The court appointed an examination at the Russian Center for Forensic Medical Examination of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The experts established the paternity of the murdered in relation to the girl with a probability of more than 99.9%. They also compared her DNA with that of the businessman's 24-year-old son, establishing their paternal relationship with a probability of over 99.7%.
For their part, the defendants in the case, Nikolai Martynov’s relatives, rejected Ms. Ryasnova’s claims, and their lawyer Anastasia Tsvetkova, a former judge of the same Zyuzinsky court, by the way, saw in her actions an attempt at fraud in order to obtain part of the inheritance. They also stated that in last years the life of a businessman was barren, and when a girl was conceived, he was generally abroad. As a result, data from Aeroflot, Raiffeisenbank, medical institutions and the World Class fitness club were presented to the court, indicating that during the period of development of relations with Ms. Ryasnova, the businessman was still in Moscow and did not apply to doctors with complaints of infertility. Interestingly, in the course of the trial, a fellow countryman of the accused Korotenko came to court, declaring that he was the girl's father. True, he could not explain where and when he spoke with Mrs. Ryasnova and incorrectly described her appearance eight years ago. The court appointed a DNA examination, which showed a zero probability of paternity of the Nizhny Novgorod citizen, while re-confirming the relationship of Yaroslava and the son of Nikolai Martynov.
As a result, Judge Elena Safyan denied Ms. Ryasnova's claims in full. At the same time, the decision did not even mention the results of a genetic examination conducted using the DNA profile of the murdered Martynov and confirming his paternity with almost one hundred percent probability, although it was this DNA profile that helped the investigation to bring charges against the alleged killer of the businessman. In complaints against this decision, the applicant's representatives pointed out that the results of the DNA examination were recognized as one of the main evidence by the plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. The point in this case, where the evidence of the investigation is called into question by the court, should be put by the Supreme Court. Lada Ryasnova herself is reluctant to comment on the current situation. "Of course, I will go to the end. Yaroslava knew Kolya as a father until she was four years old, and here he turns out to be not a father - and this is with all the evidence," she told Kommersant, explaining that she was very tired of long trials.
Criminal punishment threatens retired GRU colonel Gennady Korotenko, who is also a centurion of the Volga Cossack army, Kommersant writes.
As follows from the materials of the criminal case, on March 30, 2014, 56-year-old Nikolai Martynov was shot dead near his dacha in Iksha - general manager company "MSK Management" and co-founder of the Cypriot company Clinolia Holding Limited, which owns several enterprises in Russia for the production of raw materials and equipment for the oil and gas and chemical industries.
One bullet hit the merchant's chest, and the second got stuck in the eye socket, Life.ru wrote earlier. Martynov's driver did not wait for the ambulance to arrive and took him to the nearest hospital himself, and a few hours later the wounded man was transported to Moscow. However, he was unable to save his life.
A cartridge case from a Makarov pistol was seized from the crime scene, but for a long time the investigation was marking time.
The breakthrough in the investigation came by accident a year and a half later. On August 5, 2015, in the Avtozavodsky district of Nizhny Novgorod, operatives from the regional FSB and the police opened a private garage, which was literally filled to the brim with army weapons. Kalashnikov assault rifles, assault rifles with optical sights, two machine guns, underbarrel grenade launchers, a collection of daggers, sabers and other edged weapons were seized. a large number of ammunition of various types and calibers, as well as the Igla portable anti-aircraft missile system.
On the same day, the owner of the garage, a local resident Gennady Korotenko, was detained, who had a Makarov pistol in his pocket at the time of the meeting with the operatives. The detainee himself explained that he took the PM to protect garden plots, in which his organization is involved - "Cossack freemen named after Yermak Timofeevich", which is structurally part of the Volga Cossack army. The found arsenal, according to the Cossack and retired intelligence officer, did not belong to him, but to some "accidental acquaintance" to whom he rented his garage.
An examination showed that one of the pistols found during the operation was used to kill Martynov.
Four months later, the probable customer of the murder, Anton Erokhin, 35-year-old business partner of Martynov, was found and taken into custody. About a year before the assassination attempt, a dispute arose between businessmen over assets. They were unable to share several enterprises in the Nizhny Novgorod region that produce acetone, ethanol and other chemicals used for the needs of the oil and gas industry. At first, Erokhin was going to buy out Martynov's share in Clinolia for 2.6 billion rubles, but then he decided to simply kill him, paying the killer 1 million rubles.
The Volga Cossacks do not believe the version of the investigators and consider Korotenko an example to follow. The accused is a veteran of the Afghan, Abkhaz and Chechen military campaigns, was awarded the Order of Courage, the Red Banner and the Red Star, the medals "For Courage" and "For Military Merit", and also received the title of Hero of Abkhazia and for a special display of courage and courage - Order of Leon.
“Old Man Korotenko is not a mummer, of which there are many now, but a real tribal Cossack,” says Sergei Akimov, chairman of the board of Volnitsa.
In the spring of 2014, oil tycoon Nikolai Martynov was assassinated. The prospective customer was found very quickly - it turned out to be the metropolitan businessman Anton Erokhin. The wife of the murdered oligarch, Nadezhda Martynova, became the legitimate heir to his entire financial fortune, but Lada Ryasnova entered the struggle for a multimillion-dollar inheritance, claiming that she had an affair with Nikolai and their daughter Yaroslav was born in their love union.
