What happened in the ovens. What do we know about the ovens where the soldier Alexander Korzhich died

MINSK, October 21 - Sputnik. Elena Murugova, a resident of Glubokoye, considers the death of her son Sergei strange and suspicious. The 23-year-old guy died at the end of August last year. The woman still remembers how she received a call from unit No. 41684 of the security and maintenance battalion in Pecs, where her son served, and was told that he had shot himself.

Elena Ivanovna notes that the unit called the incident a suicide, although she herself is sure that her son was brought to this. Indeed, during the service, Sergei became anxious, called in tears. And he often asked to send him money, and the amounts were rather big, she says.

Sputnik met with Elena Ivanovna and her sister Sofya Ivanovna, who have hired a lawyer to sort out the story.

sad news

This conversation is difficult for Elena Ivanovna. Clutching a photo of her late son Sergei, she barely holds back tears.

“He was secretive. He didn’t want to worry me,” says the mother dead soldier

She learned the sad news on August 24, 2016. As he remembers now, it was Wednesday. called ex-husband, said: "We have a problem: Our earring shot himself." Shocked, the woman then went to the factory. But when she arrived, she realized that she could not work.

Sergey was supposed to be delivered the next day. Promised at 11 am. But, as the interlocutor notes, they tortured me until 11 pm. They called and rescheduled the meeting, saying that Sergei was not being returned from the morgue. And then they took him to the unit so that his colleagues could say goodbye to him.

“I also asked the battalion commander:“ Will you be at the funeral? Why does he have an open mouth?" And that's it - she fell, "recalls Murugova.

The arriving servicemen were attacked by neighboring men. “We gave you a healthy neighbor, but received a coffin,” they were indignant.

Relatives all could not calm down and bombarded the political officer at the funeral with questions about how this could happen. But he told different versions incident, notes the aunt of the deceased Sofya Ivanovna.

Relatives deceased commander The battalion reported that everything happened instantly at the training ground during the exercises. Sergei received bullets, after which, being out of control, he shot himself under the tower.

"The soldier said that (Sergey - Sputnik) took out cartridges, then loaded the machine gun when he went to the firing line. I was still indignant: why only soldiers, but where were the commanders?" Elena Ivanovna asks.

“I received live ammunition. No one looked after him. I received it, signed it and went. And it is not known where. As my husband was told, he shot himself under the tower.<…>I started asking how this could happen. “Well, they overlooked it,” Sofya Ivanovna says.

suspicions

The dead Sergei was brought in, claiming that it was a suicide. But his mother cannot believe it. Claims it could have been suicidal. The young man became somewhat strange during the service, the interlocutor of the agency explains.

“On the 22nd (August — Sputnik) Seryozhka called me — at 7 am. I was with the old people (I looked after them privately). I say what happened. He: “I just wanted to talk.” I say why so early.<…>July 10 I went to see him there. Arrived, and he was kind of confused. Nervous. I immediately went out to smoke. I didn't smoke before the army. We started talking, I say: "Seryozha, what's wrong with your teeth?". Black teeth. Says, "Mom, I smoke two packs a day." He used to take a lot of care of himself.<…>On August 19 he called me at night. He was in a dress. They were in the forest, harvesting wood. He called, cried: "I'm tired of everything." Then he calls me back five minutes later. "Mom, don't worry, everything's fine." He was very sorry for me so that I would not worry, ”recalls Elena Ivanovna.

However, Sergei did not have any hints of suicide. Moreover, the guy made plans.

“He was such a kind son. He says:“ Mom, why did you get so many jobs. , I will come, I will help you," the woman explains.

Sergey dreamed of children and admitted to his relatives that he wanted to wait for his grandchildren. He did not have a girlfriend, which his mother is one hundred percent sure of. Which excludes the possibility of suicide because of love, she notes. The young man told her that he was not going to start serious relationship, because he had to go to the army, there were two years of study left.

At the same time, Elena Murugova notes that she noticed bruises on her son's body when he came home on a day off.

“When he got out of the bath, there was a bruise on his shoulder. He accidentally fell down the stairs, he says. And then he says that they beat him with a mop in the bathroom.<…>In November he calls me. Disturbed voice. “Oh, mother, they’ll probably put me in jail. When I was wiring on the stairs, a safety sergeant came and asked me to sign. I said, just a minute, this is delicate work, these are wires. I threw it down the stairs. Mom, she says, I was so offended by the injustice. I took him against the wall. He says I don’t sleep at night, they’ll probably put me in jail, ”she notes.

In the army, Sergei lost touch phone. Initially, the device was seized with the words that they would give it back at the end of the service. They gave me an old phone instead. After some time, Sergei came for his mobile phone, he was told that he was gone, says the mother of the deceased.

Elena Ivanovna also claims that she constantly transferred money to her son, and rather big ones. Up to 60 rubles per month. Moreover, the guy took money from his father.

“At first, we sent money like crazy. We say: “Sergey, you are on state security, in fact.” Of course, you need money, but not such amounts,” Murugova notes.

Sergei paid the sergeants even to go to the stall, the interlocutor adds.

Long answer from the investigation

Elena Ivanovna goes to the grave of her own son very often. Gets on a bike and comes here when the soul requires it. A monument was recently erected. On it Sergey is depicted in military uniform. He was buried in it. Relatives decided that it would be right, because he died in the service.

All this year that has passed since the death of Sergei, Murugova could not find a place for herself. I have been waiting for expert opinion for a long time.

The interlocutor recalls: on behalf of Borisov's IC, after the incident, a survey was conducted of relatives at the place of residence. Elena Ivanovna was asked more than 30 questions, but not all of her answers were included in the final documentation sent to Borisov. Moreover, incorrect information was posted, in particular, it was alleged that Sergei was at home once, although he came three times, his mother claims. The information was given with a hint that he did not want to go home.

In December, Sofya Ivanovna, the aunt of the deceased, called the Investigative Committee to clarify whether there was a result of the investigation. She was told that Elena Ivanovna was aware of its completion. However, she did not receive any documents.

“On the phone, the investigator from Borisov said: “The criminal case is not opened due to the lack of corpus delicti.” He said that he sent documents. “Didn’t they send you?” It was the month of January. He: “Oh, don’t, maybe they got lost. Maybe here, in Borisov, maybe you have in Glubokoye," says Elena Ivanovna.

Only in the first days of March did the conclusion of the investigation come. It raised more questions from the family than it answered. In their conclusions, the experts based themselves on the testimonies of soldiers and officers, who claimed that Sergei had depression, which led to this result.

The woman is outraged, because Sergei almost did not communicate with his colleagues, which he himself admitted to her. Elena Ivanovna recalls telephone conversation with his son: "He calls me, and I:" Earring, why are you alone? I can’t hear voices.” He says I can’t carry on a conversation with colleagues. Because of my feelings, it’s hard to tell.<…>Says: "Mom, I'm alone."

Elena Ivanovna draws attention to one more fact: after the death of her son, together with her relatives, she came to the unit twice to talk with the guys who were with him at the training ground - to find out the details of what happened. But they never arranged a meeting.

“It’s easier to write it off as suicide. But forgive me, please, you need to bring it to suicide,” says Sofya Ivanovna.

The aunt of the deceased says that he was very responsible and slow, and could not arrange everything so quickly.

“He was secretive. He didn’t want to worry me. I asked him: “Earring, what else is going on in the army?” He said: “Mother, the army has its own laws,” Elena Murugova adds.

Elena Ivanovna hired a lawyer. In the coming days they are going to discuss their further actions. According to the interlocutor, they will go to the end.

Murugova admits that she sees a connection between the stories of the soldiers who died earlier in Pechi and her son.

“Probably some kind of mockery of the soldiers,” she says.

“Now in our country, for the death of a soldier, servicemen receive a reprimand and a severe reprimand - that's all. As it was in our case,” Sofya Ivanovna adds.

About what happened in the 72nd training military unit in Pechi, 400 km from Pinsk ( Brest region, Belarus), says the whole city. On October 3, in a unit that was once known throughout the USSR for hazing, a 21-year-old conscript soldier, Pinsk resident Alexander Korzhych, was found in a noose. How many soldiers hung dead in the basement of the medical unit, it will become clear only in two weeks, when the examination is over: Sasha stopped answering calls from friends and relatives on September 26th.

Sasha Korzhych is the second conscript soldier found hanged in a military unit near Borisov in six months. The investigation into the circumstances of the death of the first soldier, Artyom Bastyuk, is still ongoing. The Ministry of Defense of Belarus refuses to comment “for ethical reasons” and insists that in both cases we are talking about suicide.

Conscripts who joined the army after school or technical school serve in Belarus for a year and a half. Korzhych was trained at the 72nd Guards Joint Training Center. He died three weeks before being sent to another military unit - near Slonim.

Then, on September 26, someone for the last time withdrew money from Sasha Korzhych's bank card. In August and September, relatives and friends of the soldier transferred at least 200 rubles to her. Svetlana Nikolaevna, Sasha's mother, shows us receipts from Priorbank. August 3 - 50 rubles, August 8 - another 50 rubles. Where and how did this money disappear?

“If someone had told me before Sasha went into the army that he had to pay 15 rubles a day for his life [one of his colleagues told Korzhych's friends about this unofficial “tax”. - Euroradio], I would find this money. I would take a loan ... - Svetlana Nikolaevna sighs. He had $500 set aside for a car. I say: “Sasha, this money is in front of me, lying on the table, if necessary, I will bring it to you.” He replies: “No need, mom, I can handle it.”

Svetlana Korzhich, talking about her son, no longer cries. Photo: Euroradio
But every day it got harder to deal with. According to the soldier’s mother, he received about 500 rubles a month from her and from friends.

“About July 10, Sasha said that the sergeant had taken from him bank card. Like, a soldier is not supposed to have a card, but if you need something, you can ask, and it will be bought. Sasha asked me to track where the money goes from his card, - says Ilya, best friend Sasha Korzhych, who worked with him in the same auto repair shop. - I then made screenshots from Internet banking. There you can see purchases in the cafe “Warrior” [on the territory of the 72nd training center. - Euroradio] and Zvezda, and two consecutive withdrawals from an ATM for 10 rubles each. All this time the card was in the hands of the sergeant.

Now on bank card Sasha Korzhych was left with one ruble. Yes, such an amount cannot be withdrawn through an ATM, at least five rubles.

There are many fresh graves at the new city cemetery 11 km from Pinsk, Sasha's grave - 30th sector, 15th row, 20th place. “On the day of the funeral, there was such a wind that the candles immediately went out,” recalls Ilya. - A lot of military men came from Borisov by bus. I do not think that these are Sasha's colleagues. We asked them about him, and they answered with the usual phrases: "He was a good guy ...". He was buried with honors, there was even a volley in the air. And then we learned that when soldiers go on such a business trip, they are not fed at all. And Sasha's cousin, Violetta, ran to buy them cookies.

The priest refused to bury Sasha. In his death certificate, in the column “Cause of death”, the code T71 is indicated: “Strangulation asphyxia”. This means suffocation as a result of squeezing. Such a conclusion does not give clarity: the person hanged himself or was hanged. And the Church considers suicides to be sinners, unworthy of a funeral service. And it requires proof that a person died a natural death or was killed. But Sasha's relatives have no evidence. There are only versions of what happened in the 72nd training camp in Pechy.

Version 1. They staged a suicide to hide hazing

In the unit where Sasha served, there are two sergeants: B. and S., let's call them that. They say that these two are afraid of everyone who gets into the united The educational center training warrant officers and junior commanders in Pecs. Soldiers spend only three months in training, after which they are assigned to the place of further service. S. is described as more sane, but B., who is also called “Beran”, this time is enough to humiliate the conscript, take away his money and things and subjugate his will. This was told to friends of Sasha Korzhych by the soldiers who served in Pechy.

When Sasha’s relatives were nevertheless shown his body (they arrived in Pechi on the night of October 4, and waited all day for the body to be “ready”), they drew attention to the bruises, which were interpreted as the results of beatings, and to the trace of the rope around the guy's neck. The trail is thick, two fingers wide, and perfectly even - as if the rope did not slide along the suicide's neck, but squeezed the neck of a person who was already dead in the noose.

We will not show you a photo of the dead Sasha Korzhych. They convince the guy's relatives and friends that he was killed. However, the pathologist consulted by Euroradio claims that to make an unambiguous conclusion about the intravital or post-mortem placement of a person in a noose according to outward signs impossible. To do this, you need to examine under a microscope the nervous and soft tissues of the deceased, taken at autopsy.

However, the UK opened a criminal case on hazing. In addition to using Sasha Korzhych's card, B. and S. may be guilty of embezzling the smartphone of a dead soldier. One of the officers of the training center told Sasha's mother that he sold his HTC One for ... 30 rubles, because "he was in dire need of money." Recall that, according to his mother's calculations, Sasha at that moment was sent up to 500 rubles a month. The soldier's friends are told that the phone has not yet been found, although it is easy to figure it out by IMEI.

What did the conscript spend hundreds of rubles on without leaving the military camp? Was he killed to hide the answer to this question? The investigation is to be dealt with.

Version 2. Suicide of a soldier driven to despair

Sasha Korzhych joined the army because he didn't want to "mow down". “He had many plans for life. Come back from the army and buy yourself a car. Sasha made repairs at home. Positive young man, interested in cars. He liked to climb in the engines, dig into the electronics. A month after he came to us at the service station, he was already working independently, and not as a student. It was his hobby, work and life,” says Sergey Kozubovsky, director of Pinsk Autoshans LLC, where Sasha worked. He does not believe that a cheerful young man could commit suicide.

Sasha did not tell his friends about the problems in the unit. Just from time to time asked to transfer money to the card. And at the end of July, he began to say that they should not come to him - they say, it remains to hold out just a little bit, and there will be a transfer to Slonim. But he confessed something to his mother.

“He said that at night the sergeants bring women to the barracks and arrange orgies in front of the soldiers so that everyone looks at their“ exploits ”, - says Svetlana Nikolaevna. - He said that the soldiers are put on a “collar” - a collar with needles - and forced to do menial work, clean toilets all night. But he always added that he was fine. Now I think he paid off as long as there was money.”

In mid-September, Korzhych told one of his colleagues that his debt had grown to 150 rubles. The soldier caught a cold, he had a fever and he ended up in the medical unit, and then he began to complain of pain in his heart. According to Sasha's mother, at that time she received a strange call from one of the unit's junior officers. He was interested in whether Sasha had been sick a lot before, asked to bring his card from the clinic. It is possible that the soldier was also reproached for feigning illness.

“This is not hazing, the army has nothing to do with it. This is bydlovschina, write like that, - a Pinsk resident, who knew Alexander Kozhich, tells us. - The most reckless "grandfathers" are "collective farmers". Not the inhabitants of the countryside, not the peasants who work on the land, namely the “collective farmers”. They quickly find each other, unite and begin to crush the recalcitrant. It can happen anywhere. Sasha did not submit, he was not enough ... But he could not escape.

Version 3. Sasha was killed by a soldier who went crazy

When Sasha Kozhich's mother asked if it was possible to talk to the soldier who found her son, she was told that he was in the neuropsychiatric dispensary in Novinki. The relatives of the deceased guy recall that they went to the unit immediately after they were informed of his death, and were in Pecs at about 3:00 on the night of October 4.

“On Tuesday, October 3 at 21:23, they called me from an unknown number and said: “A suicide attempt, your son died!”. I say: “So died or attempted suicide?” - "Unfortunately, he died, we will bring you his body." Well, what a suicide, when I spoke to him ten days ago, and he said that there was just a little bit of patience left? We got into the car and drove to Borisov,” says Svetlana Korzhych.

Receipt for a transfer of 50 rubles in the hands of Sasha Korzhych's mother

In front of the checkpoint, Sasha's relatives saw two cars that left the military camp within 20 minutes. Later, someone from the command of the unit explained to them that investigators and forensic experts had left in these cars.

When Sasha's friends created the VKontakte group Close to 21-year-old Alexander Korzhych, people began to write to them, one way or another connected with the situation. One such source claims that the investigation materials already contain the name of the alleged killer, established in hot pursuit. This is the same soldier who “found” Sasha hanged in the basement of the medical unit.

“He was worried that time had passed, and no one was looking for Korzhic. He admitted that the victim was able to free himself from the loop and was already testifying. And then he himself went to the basement, allegedly for a broom (although it is known that the cleaning equipment is complicated in another place), but in fact, to make sure of his own safety, ”the source claims.

The strange thing in this version is that no one was looking for the missing soldier for several days. Still, army discipline involves regular formations, and the absence of Alexander Korzhych would have been noticed. The exact date Sasha's death was not named to his relatives. The guy's death certificate says the date when his body was found - October 3. The same date is on the cross on the grave of Alexander Korzhych at the Pinsk cemetery.

Officially, the investigation will announce its findings no earlier than two weeks later, when the results of the forensic medical examination are ready. However, in practice, the investigation of such cases takes much longer. The parents of Artiom Bastiuk, who was found hanged in one of the units near Borisov on March 31, 2017, tell ERB that the criminal case on the death of their son is still being investigated.

“During this time, seven examinations were carried out,” says Artyom's father. - But the experts can not say anything specific. Like a grandmother - in two, you understand? Maybe so, maybe so. This week, the investigators must come to a conclusion: to close this criminal case or to continue, and if we continue, then under what articles. But, apparently, hazing nothing has been established."

On Tuesday, October 3, in the basement on the territory of the military unit in Pechi, the corpse of a military serviceman Alexander Korzhych was found. Official version death is suicide. But his friends are sure that Alexander became a victim of hazing.

Information about the death of the “conscript” in Pecs appeared on the Internet at the beginning of this week. Information about the suicide of a soldier in the Borisov district was officially confirmed by the Ministry of Defense, but they refused to give the name of the guy and the details of the case.

Later it became known that we are talking about a 21-year-old native of Pinsk Alexandra Korzhych. He was drafted into the army in the spring of 2017, the guy got into military unit in Pechi, near Borisov.

Now the Investigative Committee is conducting an investigation into the fact of death in Pechi.

“During the inspection of the scene of the crime, no signs of a criminal nature were found by the investigation. The data obtained as a result of the initial activities allow us to consider suicide as the main version, ”Tatiana Belonog, a representative of the IC, told TUT.by.

“He said that hazing in Pechi is terrible”

Meanwhile, friends of Korzhych question the previous version of the investigation. Resident of Pinsk Irina, who has been friends with Alexander for almost 10 years, does not believe in suicide.

“He said that hazing in Pechi is terrible, they bully as best they can, they take everything away. He had a phone and a smart watch, they were not found after his death - they say that he seemed to have sold all this due to lack of money. This is ridiculous, he did not need money, he was transferred enough to a bank card.

He has always been strong man. In a conversation, he himself said: a little more patience and they will be distributed to Slonim. Not a single thought of suicide was said, and I did not even hear a note of something in his voice. Sasha was a very cheerful person in life, he was always ready to help, he was very friendly, everyone loved him. He loved his parents madly to do this to them, ”the girl said in an interview.

According to Irina, the relatives did not want to bury Alexander in military uniform, and when they changed his clothes at home, they were shocked by what they saw: there were large bruises on the body above the crotch, abrasions on the head. Also, the relatives were embarrassed by the suspiciously even mark from the noose around the neck. “If a person hangs, then he simply cannot have such smooth contours”- adds Irina.

The girl claims that Alexander did not have a personal problem (unhappy love, family conflicts, etc.), due to which the guy could commit suicide.

"Hazing – It doesn't have to be physical abuse."

Journalist of "Narodnaya Volya" Roman Vasyukovich which passed a few years ago military service in the Belarusian army, he considers the version of the murder not very likely.

“Of course, anything could happen, but it’s hard for me to imagine that the guy was killed. Usually in the barracks (at least it happened to me) there are sentences to soldiers for last years for hazing – there terms of 3 to 7 years just for a few strokes. This is a serious deterrent. In addition, the army regularly conducts reviews on the subject of bodily beatings, so it is almost impossible to hide the violence, and even more so the murder. But the "grandfathers" could be simply inadequate: perhaps they really beat, but they overdid it and then imitated suicide. Violence is not candy – you won’t fall asleep exactly, ” – noted the journalist in an interview.

Roman Vasyukovich

But it is more likely, according to Vasyukovich, that Korzhych was driven to suicide by "grandfathers":

“Hazing is not necessary physical violence This is primarily psychological violence. Most likely, the guy was broken in the barracks. The worst thing that can happen to a "conscript" of the first period of service is when you were not accepted into the team and you found yourself in isolation. You are an outcast simply because you missed the standard several times, badly shaved or something. “Grandfathers” have little left to serve and they are already blowing their minds. "Grandfathers" put pressure on the guys who came to serve at the same time as you - so, they say, you have such a person, influence him, and if you do not influence, then you will also have trouble. When you are left alone and no one even talks to you, it is psychologically very difficult. And it's not the guy's fault. But I am convinced that officers should prevent such things, they should have noticed the conflict. If he hanged himself not because of unhappy love, but because of hazing, then this is the direct incompetence of the commanders. After all, the “conscript” is in the team 24 hours a day, he is constantly in sight.”

“No matter how they fight hazing, as long as there is a “term”, hazing will remain, since the difference in periods of service remains. In the meantime, the officers will shift their duties to the soldiers of the 3rd period (i.e. grandfathers), then we will receive such tragedies, ”says Vasyukovich.

Sasha Korzhych

Three versions of what happened in the 72nd training camp in Pecs.

The whole city speaks about what happened in the 72nd training military unit in Pechi, 400 km from Pinsk (Brest region, Belarus). On October 3, in a unit that was once known throughout the USSR for hazing, a 21-year-old conscript soldier, a Pinsk resident, was found in a noose Alexander Korzhych. How many soldiers hung dead in the basement of the medical unit will become clear only in two weeks, when the examination is over: Sasha stopped answering calls from friends and relatives on September 26, euroradio.by writes.

Sasha Korzhych is the second conscript soldier found hanged in a military unit near Borisov in six months. Investigation into the circumstances of the death of the first soldier - Artem Bastyuk- is still going on. The Belarusian Defense Ministry refuses to comment “for ethical reasons” and insists that in both cases it is about suicide.

Then, on September 26, someone for the last time withdrew money from Sasha Korzhych's bank card. In August and September, the soldier's relatives and friends transferred at least 200 rubles to her. Svetlana Nikolaevna, Sasha's mother, shows us receipts from Priorbank. August 3 - 50 rubles, August 8 - another 50 rubles. Where and how did this money disappear?

“If someone had told me before Sasha went into the army that he had to pay 15 rubles a day for his life [one of his colleagues told Korzhych’s friends about this unofficial “tax” - Note], I would I found this money. I would take a loan ... - Svetlana Nikolaevna sighs. - He had $ 500 set aside for a car. I say: "Sasha, this money is in front of me, it's on the table, if necessary, I'll bring it to you." He replies: "Don't, Mom, I can handle it."

But every day it got harder to deal with. According to the soldier’s mother, he received about 500 rubles a month from her and from friends.

“About July 10, Sasha said that the sergeant took his bank card from him. Like, a soldier is not supposed to have a card, but if you need something, you can ask, and it will be bought.

All this time the card was in the hands of the sergeant.

Now there is one ruble left on Sasha Korzhych's bank card. Yes, such an amount cannot be withdrawn through an ATM, at least five rubles.

In the unit where Sasha served, there are two sergeants: B. and S., let's call them that.

Parents Artyom Bastyuk, who was found hanged in one of the parts near Borisov on March 31, 2017, they say that the criminal case on the death of their son is still being investigated.

On the grounds of a crime under Part 3 of Art. 443 (Violation of the statutory rules of relations between persons covered by the status of a serviceman, in the absence of a relationship of subordination, which entailed grave consequences) of the Criminal Code.
