The criminal world is full of legends and its heroes.The main place in it is occupied by thieves in law. According to the gangster clan, elected leaders are at the highest level of the criminal hierarchy. Being in prison, such a person practically owns his surroundings. At liberty, he is able to influence the many criminal groups that may exist in different territories. At the moment in Russia the number of such thieves does not reach four hundred, and a hundred of them are in places not so remote. The chosen one must adhere to certain rules that rely on his status. One of the brightest representatives of this privileged class was Vyacheslav Ivankov, better known as Jap, who was a legend of the thieves' world.
Hard life of a child
Про Вячеслава Япончика ходило множество легенд, who are not too at variance with the truth. He was born on January 2, 1940 in a Moscow family. His father was an alcoholic and a frequent patient in mental hospitals. Glory grew physically weak, often treated at sanatoriums and health centers. At thirteen, he decided to go to the sports section to fight. With a mother, the child was rude and bold.
After completing the eighth grade, he enteredcircus school, dreaming of becoming an aerialist. And it is possible that the boy would achieve good results, as he had shown great promise. But fate decreed otherwise: at one of the trainings, he fell from the trapezoid. Vyacheslav did not apply to the doctors, although he had a closed skull injury. The guy had frequent fainting, and he had to leave school. So did not become a gymnast Vyacheslav Ivankov, Jap. His biography made a definite turn.
Something went wrong
Устроившись слесарем в комбинат бытового service, he after a short time became the brigadier of examiners, while studying in parallel at night school. At twenty, Ivankov married an Assyrian from a princely family. Lydia Aivazova bore him a son. As a joke, friends began to call him Assyrian son-in-law. Soon he was hit by a car, and he was taken to the hospital, after discharge, intolerance to the heat and driving, but it was not Vyacheslav Yapadchik. His biography began to change rapidly, but not for the better. Already in 1965, Vyacheslav was taken to the police. Ivankov tried to commit pickpocketing.
Was there a disease?
During the arrest, he resistedemployees. Vyacheslav was sent to undergo a forensic psychiatric examination in Kashchenko, where a conclusion was made - schizophrenia. Having learned his diagnosis, Ivankov changed the line of behavior, became more sociable and open, but the court sent him for compulsory treatment. He escaped from the hospital, did not appear at home, hiding from organs, but passed an external examination on secondary education. Less than six months later, Ivankov was detained and returned for compulsory treatment. But after another six months, the expert committee discharged him from the hospital with the condition that Ivankov would be under observation.
The beginning of gangster life
In the early seventies Ivankov hit the gangMongolia, where "born" Vyacheslav Yaponchik. One of the versions of obtaining such a nickname claims that the cause was a cut in his eyes, the second testifies that it was the possession of Ju-Jitsu techniques.
There were a lot of people in the criminal community, andthey extorted money from collectors and fartsovschiki, trade workers and "tsehovikov." In 1972, the gang was destroyed, but Ivankov was able to hide, after which he created his own grouping, which performed almost the same functions. The gang "toured" throughout the Soviet Union.
His group consisted of persons previously convicted.Dressing up in the form of police officers and using the ID, using firearms, they conducted searches of those who lived on criminal incomes and businessmen of the shadow economy. They stole money, valuables and committed thefts in apartments. Also, having their informers in certain circles, the group went out to wealthy government officials and intellectuals and came into direct contact with them. After that fraudulently, the bandits took them out to existing apartments or to the city. Using torture and beatings, they took away the available savings from the victims.
Kingpin
For the entire period before the second release, he managedto work as a photo lab assistant and children's trainer, was listed as a commodity supervisor in a vegetable shop until he received a disability - the second group in mental illness. But this did not prevent him from often visiting restaurants and “business trips”. Having got to the police for a fight in the tavern, Vyacheslav Yapadchik received an article for fake documents. He was sent for certification to the Serbian Institute, where he was found to be sane. Ivankov was convicted in 1974. Prisoners there in Butyrskaya prison ordained him a thief in law. He divorced his wife.
Cordon Life
In 1981, received his regular term VyacheslavIvankov (Jap). His biography began to seem interesting and mysterious to many. Instead of fourteen years, having served ten years, he was released. This was facilitated by the petitions of many well-known human rights activists, artists and singers. After staying at home for less than a year, he traveled to America with the crew of Rolan Bykov, where he remained, having entered into a marriage with a US citizen. In New York, contract killings of émigrés, which previously annoy the authority, have become frequent. The FBI conducted surveillance until the appropriate case presented itself. He was arrested for extortion and in 1997 sentenced to 9 years and 7 months in prison.
The way home
In 2004, the Prosecutor General of Russiaappealed to US law enforcement agencies for the extradition of Ivankov for the early murder of two people in Moscow at the Fidan restaurant. The authorities of America made a positive decision, and Jap was sent to Russia. At this time there were already legends about him in certain circles, Vyacheslav Yapadchik became famous not only in his homeland. The Moscow City Court, represented by jurymen, acknowledged that Vyacheslav Ivankov was not guilty of the murder of two people and the attempt on the third. All the victims were Turkish citizens.
Two snipers
On July 28, 2009, an attempt was madeJap. When he left the restaurant, he was fired from sniper rifles with optical sights, two people. In critical condition, Ivankov was hospitalized and urgently operated on. Sanitizing the abdominal cavity did not save him from peritonitis. On the night of September 13-14, he had a clinical death. On October 9, Vyacheslav Yapadchik died in hospital from his wounds. Since the forensic examination was carried out, the funeral was postponed from 11 to 13 October.
The death of Jap gathered a crowd on Vagankovskythe cemetery, mostly people from the world of crime, but the media were also present. The burial was ordered by his comrade-in-arms and friend, the thief in law Ded Hasan - Aslan Usoyan. There were many wreaths from the "lads" from different regions of Russia. The whole area was examined for the detection of explosives. The funeral was widely reported in all media outlets, which caused discontent in the Duma.
But who would have thought that after the death of the criminal authority would stand next to such names as Vyacheslav Jap, and Patriarch Kirill? Two completely opposite personalities, twothe sides of the same coin are two completely different people, whose fates did not overlap. An absurd combination of circumstances played a bad joke, which many people are still trying to explain and get to the bottom of the truth.
Is the resemblance simple?
27 января 2009 года произошло важное событие – Vladimir Gundyaev (in the world) was elected Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia. After a while, rumors began to appear that Jap, Vyacheslav Ivankov and Patriarch Kirill are one and the same person. Did authority really die from peritonitis in the hospital? Real hysteria about surprising similarities began in several media outlets, people began to compare their photos. Some cite the fact that the body of Jap was not shown, and the patriarch appeared after his death. To this day, people cannot believe in a simple coincidence and have many guesses. Is Vyacheslav Ivankov (Jap) really buried? Is the patriarch at the throne?
One of the users of social networks under the nicknameThe man tweeted near two compared photos about what could be murder and simple falsification, because no one had ever seen the body of Jap. There are quite a few dark spots in this story. Is Vyacheslav Jap really dead? Patriarch Kirill appeared on the people after the funeral. And this is just a coincidence?
Vladimir Gundyaev was cut in April 1969in the monks and named Cyril, and a year later graduated with honors from the Theological Academy in Leningrad. Over the next forty years, he went his own way to obtaining the highest rank in the clergy. If desired, each person can easily trace that two completely different people - Jap (Vyacheslav Ivankov) and Patriarch Kirill - cannot be one person. After all, almost every person on Earth has its twin.
