On Wednesday September 16, Maxim Martsinkevich, a 36-year-old neo-Nazi, known as Tesak, was found dead in the Chelyabinsk pre-trial detention center, who was “notorious” for raids and anti-pedophile attacks on immigrants from Central Asia.
He left a suicide note, although before he wrote on the social network that he would never commit suicide and that if he dies, then he was “helped”.
They found out what happened, why the activist of ultra-radical organizations was imprisoned and why he was remembered.
What happened
Martsinkevich’s body was found in remand cell number 3, where it was recently placed, and then they were to be sent to Moscow. It is known that he was in solitary confinement. According to preliminary data, he used a knife to commit suicide.
“His body was found in solitary confinement at 09:17 am local time. A disposable knife was also found there. The investigation has not yet determined what caused the death (cuts or strangulation). The blade died before the arrival of the ambulance, “writes the Mash channel.
The publication also reports that shortly before Martsinkevich’s death he was transferred to an isolation cell, so there were no witnesses nearby, and no video surveillance was conducted in the cell. It remains to be seen how he carried the sheet and the rope with which he hung himself on the insulation.
Furthermore, Martsinkevich left a suicide note in which he wrote that he did not want to cause trouble for the SIZO-3 administration in Chelyabinsk. He asked to transfer Frederic Bastiat’s book “Protectionism and Communism” and his personal diary to his de facto wife in Yekaterinburg. The note ends with the words “Forgive me.”
The television channel “360” published the opinion of Larisa Drygval, graphologist, director of the Handwriting Research Center. She believes that Maksim Martsinkevich actually wrote the note, and you can see from it that he was very nervous. The expert compared the suicide note with Tesak manuscript samples from previous years.
“The note was written by him, the psychomotor stereotype of writing is very similar in all handwriting samples. The state in which the note was written is extremely nervous, anxious, internally squeezed. It is difficult to say the reasons for his act and the circumstances under which the note was written, a deep handwriting study is needed. “said the calligraphy specialist.
One of Martsinkevich’s lawyers, Aleksey Mikhalchik, told Kommersant that the suicidal version must be verified.
According to him, during the stage in Krasnoyarsk, Tesak was placed in a supposed press hut and his testimony was removed. He was forced to confess to serious crimes, including murder.
Another lawyer for Tesak, Valentina Trofimik, spoke about this. According to the telegram channel Mash, before committing suicide, he was required to sign a confession in the murder case of the 90s. Martsinkevich believed that he could no longer be released until the end of his life due to a possible new serious article, and was recently in depression.
Several other lawyers who defended Martsinkevich at different times questioned their client’s suicide. At the same time, one of the lawyers recalled that Tesak had already opened his veins, but did so in protest.
Why is Cleaver known and why he sat down
Maxim Martsinkevich was born in Chelyabinsk on May 8, 1984. He graduated from the Faculty of Architecture and Construction Arts, after which he studied two courses at the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering. He began his activity in Semyon Tokmakov’s “Russian purpose” skinhead brigade, nicknamed Bus, after he was a member of Alexander Ivanov-Sukharevsky’s National People’s Party.
He became known as a NS skinhead and leader of the interregional branch of the neo-Nazi youth organization Format 18 (Adolf Hitler’s initials are coded in numbers, – Ed.). According to his personal confession, before getting seriously carried away by Nazi ideology, he was an “ordinary skin” and attacked the Chinese in the Falcon’s hostel.
He later became popular as a neo-Nazi video blogger nicknamed the Cleaver, which he received because of his love of cold weapons.
Since 2005, he has posted videos on the Internet with the beating of representatives of national minorities. She explained her activities to The New Times reporters “the right of creative people to kick someone in the face.”
According to Martsinkevich, the clips were arranged. In one of them, Tesak, in the company of his white-robed Ku Klux Klan comrades-in-arms, staged the execution of a Tajik drug dealer. A Tajik was hanged and then cut into pieces (the “meat” in the frames turned out to be beef) and burned at the stake.
Among Martsinkevich’s projects, the most famous was “Occupy-pedophilia” – anti-pedophile raids, where pedophiles were searched through social networks using “bait” – they maintained intimate correspondence on behalf of minors, most of them male children. But Tesak associates attended the meetings and held “preventive conversations” with beatings and humiliations, videotaped them and posted them on the Internet. The radical called these outings “safari” and even charged a fee to participate in them.
According to Martsinkevich, the idea came to him after his first pitch, when he watched a show on NTV, where they discussed lynching pedophiles.
In addition, he organized a similar “Occupy-Narcophilia” movement, whose members were looking for sellers of spices. Nine of Martsinkevich’s accomplices in this project received terms of 3 to 10 years.
Acts against Marcinkevich
Martsinkevich was convicted three times for extremism in 2007, 2009 and 2014. In the total of the first two sentences, he received three and a half years in prison, in the third, 2 years and 10 months.
He received his first sentence for “Inciting hatred or enmity” in 2007 after, together with a group of skinhead comrades of 10 to 15 people, using fascist slogans, they interrupted a liberal colloquium at the Moscow club “Bilingua”, where a debate on democracy in the Russian Federation took place between journalists Yulia Latynina and Maxim Kononenko.
23-year-old Tesak and company shouted the Nazi salute “Sieg Heil” and raised their hands. After that, Martsinkevich got into a polemic with Latynina and declared that “if a person is not willing to sacrifice for the good of his country, he is not ready for political activity.” Tesak also threatened to continue killing Tajiks, blacks and liberals who come to Russia.
Later, the organizer of this event, Alexei Navalny, wrote a statement for the prosecution against Martsinkevich.
In 2009 he was sentenced for the second time. He was jailed for 3 years for a video with racist content, which was described by the court as incitement to ethnic hatred. Memories of this period formed the basis of his autobiographical book “Restruct”, written after its release.
In general, Martsinkevich did not work, he had a video blog, he lived on the funds of people who wanted to participate in the “pedophile search”, he received money for participating in paid seminars on life in prison, where he told how to rob in the shops.
In 2013, Martsinkevich was indicted for the third time under the same article: for posting scandalous videos, he was sentenced to five years in a maximum security colony (then the sentence was reduced to 2 years and 10 months).
During this period, Martsinkevich did not express suicidal tendencies and even warned that influential people ordered his landing.
“It is not expensive to liquidate a person in this system. I remember, for example, Maxim Bazylev, who is also Adolf, who” committed suicide “in Petrovka. Therefore, I now officially declare that my fight is not over. to end my life by committing suicide. If I suddenly open my veins or hang myself during shipping, then they helped me. A lot. Heart failure, like other diseases, I don’t have! “
In 2014, the Occupy Pedophilia movement announced its self-dissolution following the initiation of criminal cases for beatings, blackmail and extortion. In the period from April to July 2013, 11 people were recognized as victims. They became victims of the movement’s actions, whose methods the Interior Ministry described as “cruel, intended to humiliate human dignity and associated with crimes against life and health.”
As a result, in 2015, the Kamensk-Uralsky city court, where the movement operated, found nine of its participants guilty of creating an extremist organization, robbery, torture, threat of murder, and damage to health. Six people received sentences of 3 to 6 years in prison, three received suspended sentences.
In 2017, Martsinkevich was found guilty of extremism, theft, and vandalism.
In 2018, he was sentenced to 10 years in a maximum security penal colony for assaults on people under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking. He served a sentence in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
In 2019 the verdict was reviewed. The type of correctional institution was changed from a maximum security colony to a general security colony. That is, a year before Tesaku’s death, the conditions of detention were relaxed.
