The sky is checkered, most russian lifers dream of freedom, but will they ever be able to get there . Hello, in the studio eduard petrov, dear, dear, wait a little longer, i loved, i love, and i will love, that is, you killed the owners of the apartment, yes, yes, we have blood on our hands, jumped up, took a grenade, grabbed it. Well, what to hide, i was ordinary russian bandit, such a person can be free, according to the law, yes, in principle, you have nowhere to go, god is merciful, he forgives, you dont need to be afraid now, no, i dont need to be afraid, if god wills it, we lets get out of here, such a decision will be very difficult to make, people are different, maniacs, pedophiles, serial killers, terrorists, they should not be released. Today in russia there are slightly less than 2 thousand people sentenced to life imprisonment, among them terrorist murderers, pedophiles and leaders of organized crime. Communities. On the hands of these nonhumans is the blood of innocent citizens, many of them were sentenced back in the early nineties, and the most severe the Death Penalty, to avoid it. Imprisoned for life, and over time to then death row prisoners were sent to colonies for them began to introduce younger colleagues in the criminal workshop, the leader of the kazan crime clan eduard tageryanov, the so called angarsk maniac Mikhail Popkov and also a maniac from bitsovsky park. What do they hope for why do they cling to life, we took up this matter and conducted our investigation, it is clear that we committed a crime, life cannot be turned back. People need to be given a chance, find something, you can always go somewhere, as they say, if you get help, ill free myself, lord, im putting myself in your hands, i have such good friends who would help me, they came out right now, they helped me right now , but i havent been released before, this is the first time i can start a family, it will turn out that at least one person will be released in all of russia, then there is already a chance. In our country there are more than ten colonies in which those sentenced to life imprisonment are serving their endless sentences, abbreviated as pls. And such prisoners are employees of institutions. Are called plesniks. The film crew of our program visited all of these special institutions. It is rightfully considered the oldest. The socalled vologda nickel. It is located in the former kirillonovozersky monastery on the island of ognennaya, vologda region. The largest colony the black dolphin for 1,500 people, is located in the city of soliletsk, in orenburg region. The northernmost, unofficially called it. Polar owl above the Arctic Circle in the village of kharb in the yamalonenets autonomous okrug. The most famous is the white swan in the perm region. The most modern snowflake in the khavarovsky region. Black golden eagle colony. That in the sverdlovsk region, until recently , was considered the most strict, and two more institutions in mordovia, edinichka and torbeevsky central, are called the most secret. All these places were shown for a reason; for many years we have been observing life in these colonies and we see what changes are happening there. No, the contingent, of course, remains the same, on october 18, 1990, the Leningrad Regional Court suspended the Death Penalty, on october 18 , 1993, by decree of the president of the russian federation, the Death Penalty was imposed by imprisonment, the oldtimers of these institutions have never held a smartphone in their hands, newly arrived criminals familiar with all gadgets. But the bestial essence of both of them manifests itself regardless of the Technological Advancement of our world. Since the late nineties, prison routines and life have changed significantly. Then the camera for the convicts were a stone cage with concrete walls. Hands in steel bracelets behind your back, while you must spread your fingers, this position was popularly called a swallow, this position had to be taken during numerous checks, now much is different they dont put handcuffs on, the cells are quite decent, they have neat beds, a table , radio, tv. Modern toilet, constant hot water and even a container for boiled water. The food is tolerable, even meat is included in the diet. Everyone is provided with work. Is among lifers, pensioners, those who have reached old age, they while away their time in a cell, but the most important thing is different in each colony there are now many such convicts who have served the coveted 25 years behind bars, endlessly scribbling papers asking for parole, with some of them we were able to communicate. I kneel in front of them and ask again. To forgive again, of course, is difficult, i understand that it is difficult, if this had happened in my family and they would have killed, for example, my children, this wife, i m telling you, i dont know how it would be arrived, alexander sedey, for 29 years now, has been begging forgiveness from the relatives of the couple, muscovites, whom he once dealt with in cold blood. Originally from the small town of chop in transcarpathia, in the early nineties he and his brother came to moscow to work, they started glazing balconies, along the way they looked for a richer apartment, they found one in a stalinist house on leninsky prospekt, that is, you killed the owners of the apartment, who is there there was, remember, a man, a woman, a man and a woman together, so they took some money for some apartments, honestly . Nothing, didnt you take anything . Why did they kill . We thought it would happen, but there was nothing there. After the massacre, the brothers worked for some time, and then fled home, but did not hide for long. In 1993, employees of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department came to the city of chov and detained a criminal couple, then there was a trial and a verdict. Moscow city court . Moscow city court, capital punishment, well, on a bottle. In the sixth corridor, 6 years, 6 years, yes, 6 years at the booth, that is , every day you waited for them to come for you, yes. Alexander sidey was not shot, he is one of the first to fall under the moratorium on the Death Penalty, he was sent to the mordovian unit. Now the killer is not working, he has vision problems, he says that he has repented and dreams of freedom, however, where exactly he will go, if, of course, he lets go, he does not understand, sideyas wife has been living for a long time. It is unlikely that the murderers sincere repentance will help the relatives of the dead muscovites in any way. Meanwhile, the convict shows us photographs of his wife, of course, observing all Safety Standards through a metal grill. Here in hungary, this is a son and wife spouse. But your wife never came here to see you . No, no, no, no, you talk to her on the phone, yes, we talked, we correspond, are you a stranger to her now , or not . No, he loves, he waits, all this for so many years, for so many years, well, so dear. Dear, wait a little longer, god willing, and we will meet again, we will still live, everything will be fine with us, i love you, very, very much, i loved you, i love you and will love you, its romantic, isnt it, just remember that the lamb , sidei, coldbloodedly and cynically dealt with a family of muscovites, his wife they trusted him and let him into their house, oddly enough, but. The seemingly ordinary words of the citizen boss sound like a continuation of a harsh , fair sentence. And it is unlikely that alexander sidey will be free in the foreseeable future. Our information in april 2022, in the territory of the republic of mordovia, he served a sentence of 295. Lawlessness, he was an active member of the tsapkov gang, which staged a bloody massacre in the village of kushchevskaya in november 2010, or eduard tageryanov, the leader of an organized criminal group from embankment chelny, bandits they traded in kidnappings and murders, another inhabitant of the torbeevsky central, an angarsk maniac. Mikhail popkov, he is called the most terrible person in the entire modern history of russia; popkov has more than 80 proven murders on his bloody record. But this time we were interested precisely in those who had already served 25 years behind bars; there are several of them here. Lived in the colony, a native of the leningrad region. He has serious criminal experience. First conviction as a juvenile, 4 years in special education. Came out, worked at the kirov plant and again picked up the old stuff. In may 1993, he killed a man, and when he was already behind bars, he dealt with his cellmate. As a result, he was sentenced to death, pardoned and sent to the torbeevsky central, even now , a quarter of a century later, he claims that he is not in jail for his own sake, firstly, it was not i who killed kamernik, i was simply let in as a locomotive, that is, well, i guess i have to explain to you no need, what is a locomotive, in the uniform behind which the train is following, yes, its just that at that time i ended up in a cell with a long sentence of 15 years, firstly, secondly , there was already one murder, so, it was easier that way for someone. Thats it, i didnt stain my hands in that blood. Velensky speaks calmly, weighs every word, he works diligently in production, sews hoods for jackets, it is clear that he has not lost hope of one day being free. Do you want freedom . I hope for her. What are you doing for this . Working. And im working on myself. And correcting the sins of the past as best i can. Hypothetically, if you were freed now, would you find some place in life . You know, i think so. Sentenced to life imprisonment freedom, vitaly velensky, said that he has his own apartment in the city of tikhvin, in the leningrad region, which is supposedly looked after by distant relatives, but, judging by the documents, all his relatives have long since died. There is no one to help, and objectively speaking, it will be practically impossible for him to settle down in freedom, and what color is bitcoin, who is bitcoin, who is this or what is this, this is a new digital currency. Eldest lets go. Many lifesentenced prisoners of the torbeyevsky central are serving sentences for a whole series of murders committed 2030 years ago. Vladimir tsyp, a bandit from the nineties, ended up in vk6 for the murder of eight people, six men and two. A woman, in addition, his record includes rape of minors, as well as theft, and this beast worked in ryazan and odessa, come to you imagine that such a murderer as vladimir tsyp could someday be among us, riding on a bus , go to the store, walk along the streets, but the chick does not lose illusory hope and, at any opportunity, says that he believed in god and lives they say only according to gods rules, his lamentations dont look sincere, i wont drink either, not even beer, im already drunk, i ended up here. So if god gives me freedom, then first of all for me are the commandments of god, then the law, why didnt you think about god in ninetyone, ninetytwo, i can answer this, you know how, it was also on the same side with christ two thieves crucified, they had thought about this before, but one thought when he was already crucified, already on the cross, he had already done everything, already crucified, nothing has been fixed. Therefore, i think that the position of the church on this matter is also, so lets say, why not forgive a person if he has brought sincere repentance, that is, after so many years, i think a person could change for the better, god is all merciful, he forgives , the lord absolutely loves everyone and he is waiting for us all absolutely, thats why we must, we are like the prodigal children, which you remember very well. It says that when the father met the prodigal son, he accepted the embrace, so the lord is waiting for us like the prodigal children and to accept your embrace.
