The man stated that the defendant had never threatened him and was unlikely to be involved in the murder of his partner Gorbushin
September 26, 2016. As part of the criminal case of the Prokopovskie gang, in addition to all other crimes, the murder of Kirov businessman Anatoly Gorbushin, who was shot in his car near the village of Kameshniki, is being investigated. In the 90s, the deceased had joint business with Grigory Paley and Igor Mikhailik. But if the first one was summoned for interrogation quite easily, then problems arose with the second, because on this moment he is in Moscow. However, the witness nevertheless decided to give his testimony and today got in touch directly from the courtroom of the capital.
Igor Mikhailik, witness:
- We have known Tolya Gorbushin since childhood, studied at the same school, we had friendly relations. And in the 80s I met Paley and with the help of Abdulaev we organized own business in the form of the firm "Roma Holding". At first it was stalls with cigarettes, and then we started leasing retail space. Later, Abdulaev offered us to buy shares in the Vyatsky shopping center, which included a food base and a chain of stores. Gorbushin subsequently became its director.
The man confirmed that in the late 90s, conflicts began between the partners. But, according to him, they did not arise because of his embezzlement of the security fund, as previously reported by Grigory Paley. But because they had different ideas about the implementation of economic activities.
Igor Mikhailik, witness:
- For Anatoly, the human factor was the main one, and I was interested in financial profit. In addition, he believed that we should not pay Mikhail Prokopiev for protection. But at the same time he said that it was necessary to think over how to gently refuse his services.
Igor Mikhailik met Mikhail Prokopyev just at the time when his business was flourishing. He himself came to his store and offered security services for money. Since then, these visits have become monthly. As the witness explained, Prokopiev always personally came for a fee and a business relationship developed between them.
Igor Mikhailik, witness:
- We started as acquaintances who are simply able to go to the arrow with competing athletes. My stalls attracted punks like a magnet, and over time I could not deal with them myself, so I accepted Prokopiev's offer. I have never received any threats from him. I was even invited to his birthday celebration and was surprised to meet many of my organization there, including Gorbushin. Although I still think that they could not communicate closely. Prokopiev allowed us as entrepreneurs to grow to a certain level. But still, later I decided to stop ties with crime, and stopped paying him. Our meetings became more infrequent and eventually stopped altogether.
Returning to Gorbushin's murder, the witness stated that he had no idea who had done it. And the version of the investigator that Prokopiev decided to remove him, who allegedly expected that after his death he would take possession of the Vyatsky Cultural Center, did not confirm. As for the division of business, which he discussed with Paley and Gorbushin in 2003, it took place only after the death of the latter.
It is worth noting that there are other versions of why the entrepreneur was shot. So, the acquaintances of the deceased after his death believed that this happened, because at that time he was the deputy governor, he said during interrogation
IX ceremony of awarding the All-Russian award "Heritage Keepers" in Yelabuga. How it was
"Guardians of the Legacy"
When something happens for the ninth time, the great power of tradition comes into play. The tradition of the "Heritage Custodians" award is that the worthy choose the most worthy, this is understandable without explanation, from one list of laureates.
But there is another tradition, perhaps no less important. This is the atmosphere: loftiness without pathos, solemnity without loud words, honor without showiness. And if our impromptu "hall" in the open air rises and applauds standing - this is according to the Hamburg account. Recognition of comrades-in-arms, a genuine sense of camaraderie and brotherhood. Brotherhood of Guardians.
“It is you who are the true guardians of culture”
The Guardians of Heritage bring this atmosphere with them to where their annual forum takes place. And when such cordiality and hospitality is added to this, as this year in Yelabuga, magic is guaranteed.
The history of the “Heritage Keepers” holiday in Yelabuga began in March of this year, when the director of the Yelabuga Museum-Reserve, , a laureate of the 2012 Prize herself, suggested that the organizing committee hold the ceremony in the reserve. And it ended - late in the evening of August 4, when the "Hymn of the Guardians" sounded at the end of the ceremony.
And the ceremony began - in which everyone saw a good sign - with a bell ringing coming from the grandiose bell tower of the city's Spassky Cathedral.
Other pleasant surprise became a greeting Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, which was delivered to Yelabuga literally on the eve of the ceremony. “As Dmitry Sergeevich Likhachev said, memory is the basis of culture. And it is you who are its true guardians, - stressed the Prime Minister, addressing the participants and guests of the ceremony. - Thanks to your professionalism, hard work and energy, hundreds of thousands of people can make exciting time travels, immerse themselves in the atmosphere of bright historical events, admire manor complexes, temples and monasteries.
Dear friends! I would like to thank you for your great love for your work, for the important and necessary work that you are doing. And once again congratulate the laureates on their well-deserved awards.”
Congratulated the "Guardians of Heritage and Advisor to the President of Russia Vladimir Tolstoy: “Over the years of its existence, the award has become one of the most significant events in the cultural life of the country. For the organizers and laureates of the award, the preservation, study and promotion of tangible and intangible cultural heritage is a matter of life to which they give all their strength, talent, skill. I am convinced that the presentation of the award in the Yelabuga Museum-Reserve, in the atmosphere of the Spasskaya Fair, will give this ceremony a special character, make it unforgettable for all participants and guests!”
Made a welcome contribution and Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Russian Federation Olga Golodets: “With its (Prize - Ed.) appearance, a good tradition was created to celebrate the merits of caring people of various professions, ages, beliefs, who truly value our history and heritage. Those who consider themselves personally responsible for the preservation of the national heritage and historical memory of Russia.
You can't argue with that - it's all true.
On behalf of the Ministry of Culture of Russia, the Guardians were welcomed Director of the Department of State Protection of Cultural Heritage Vladimir Tsvetnov.
On behalf of the hospitable hosts - Deputy Minister of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan Svetlana Persova, head of the Yelabuga municipal district Gennady Yemelyanov, general director of the Yelabuga State Museum-Reserve Gulzada Rudenko.
And finally, the Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the All-Russian Prize "Heritage Keepers", Chairman Public Council The Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation Pavel Pozhigailo - and declared the ceremony open.
Retreat from tradition
And one after another, the Guardians, laureates of the 2017 Prize, began to rise on the stage.
laureates in nomination "Feat" The jury of the Award unanimously recognized the military personnel of the International Mine Action Center of the Armed Forces Russian Federation, in 2016 and 2017 who carried out humanitarian demining of the ancient monuments of Palmyra and Aleppo in Syria. Receive an award in Yelabuga arrived Head of the International Mine Action Center ColonelIgor Mikhailik and his deputy lieutenant colonel Roman Krupoderov.
It was to them that our “hall” gave a standing ovation.

Formally, this was a departure from tradition. The "Heritage Keepers" award has been awarded from year to year to people who preserve the cultural heritage of Russia. But it was such a case when it was impossible not to break the tradition. After all, our cultural heritage is, after all, an integral part of the world. And when the world fails to preserve its heritage, Russia comes to the rescue. Thanks to the soldiers of the Mine Action Center for Humanity, everything that the militants did not manage to blow up in Palmyra was now saved. Risking their lives, Russian sappers neutralized - on the spot, by hand - thousands of explosive devices and ammunition, with which literally every square meter was stuffed. Risking your life daily. But - without a single loss.
