The capital's department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued an official statement about the search for a suspect in the theft of 215 million rubles, which were kept as evidence in the case of the “God Kuzi” sect. This money was seized from an apartment where adherents of the sect gathered. Law enforcement officials claim that they were able to block and save 85 million. However, according to sources, the entire amount was missing, and the suspect is a certain Yuri Tsukerman, ex-husband the current wife of “God Kuzi” Zhanna Frolushkina. Lenta.ru looked into the scandalous story.

We realized it

On Wednesday, October 11, it became known that the police began a criminal investigation against a 59-year-old native of Omsk under Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Fraud on an especially large scale”). He was put on the wanted list. According to the investigation, this citizen produced forged documents, on the basis of which in 2016 a decision was made to recover in his favor over 215 million rubles, which were stored in the authorized body as material evidence in a previously initiated criminal case.

Part of the stolen money in the amount of more than 85 million rubles was discovered and blocked in the suspect’s bank accounts, the police noted. Property purchased by the suspect with the stolen money was also identified and seized. It is not reported in what criminal case the stolen money was kept in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Lenta.ru’s source in law enforcement agencies said that 215 million rubles were found in an apartment where adherents of the sect, headed by Andrei Popov, also known as “God Kuzya,” gathered. .

According to the source, Yuri Tsukerman, the ex-husband of Zhanna Frolushkina, was involved in the theft. Now she is Popov’s wife and, like her husband, is in a pre-trial detention center in connection with a sect case. A criminal case against Tsukerman was initiated on December 1, 2016. And the loss of money was discovered in early autumn of the same year, says the source.

The apartment where the money is

But where did these millions even come from? On September 10, 2015, the police reported the detention of both the “god Kuzi” himself and his associates. The sectarians' coffers - 219 million rubles and 150 thousand dollars - were seized by law enforcement agencies back in May 2014.

It all started when in 2014 the police received a statement from a sectarian named Frantseva: she claimed that she had been beaten at one of the meetings of followers of the “god Kuzi”. It is worth noting that until the summer of 2016, when a number of changes were made to the legislation, the police usually did not initiate cases of beatings, sending the victims to the magistrate’s court. However, the French police were interested in the statement: they opened a case under Article 116 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Beatings”) and on May 8, 2014, under the cover of riot police, raided two apartments of the sectarians with searches - on Krasnoproletarskaya Street and in Bolshoy Kondratyevsky Lane. It was there that the very funds that were seized were discovered.

Almost a year later, on April 1, 2015, the Moscow City Court declared these investigative actions illegal, since they did not have the sanction of supervisory authorities. It also follows from the court’s ruling that both apartments belong to the common-law wife of “God Kuzi” Zhanna Frolushkina. According to lawyer Klinov, who is defending Andrei Popov, since the searches were declared illegal, the seized money should be returned to the owner.

“But who should I return it to? Several citizens immediately declared that this was their money. And only Zuckerman was able to confirm his income,” says the defender. According to Klinov, “God Kuzya” himself never laid claim to this money. “He is very poor. For two years he has been wearing the same holey T-shirt in which he was detained. No one gives him parcels to the pre-trial detention center, no one helps him,” explains the lawyer.

Treasure Hunter

Frolushkina's ex-husband is a native of Ukraine. According to a law enforcement source, he had problems with the law in the past, which forced him to change his first and last name. This is how Dmitry Ananchenko became Yuri Tsukerman.

“He hunted for this money for a long time. I was looking for ways to take possession of them. Sent requests to the Federation Council and State Duma. Submitted false documents to the courts. He stated that he gave 200 million to his ex-wife for safekeeping. Zuckerman allegedly intended to buy a hotel with this money,” a law enforcement source told Lenta.ru.

On December 23, 2014, the Shcherbinsky court made a decision on the claim of Yuri Tsukerman against Zhanna Frolushkina for the recovery of funds under a storage agreement. In court, Zuckerman stated that he and the defendant were married. According to the terms of the agreement, Frolushkina was supposed to keep the money in her apartment. She did not object to the refund. In court, her representative admitted the claims in full and asked the court to satisfy them.

The judge dismissed the lawsuit due to the fact that “there is no dispute of law between the plaintiff and the defendant.”

In September 2015, a similar claim was received by the Khimki City Court, which forwarded it for consideration to the Presnensky Court of Moscow. There, the plaintiff was no longer Zuckerman, but Ananchenko. However, the Moscow Regional Court again returned the case to Khimki, and in May 2016 they suddenly made a decision in favor of the plaintiff. The judge ordered the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow to return 215 million rubles to Ananchenko.

“In the summer, the bailiffs were given a writ of execution, and they wrote off these funds from the accounts where they were stored and transferred them to the FSSP account. From there they went to the accounts indicated by Zuckerman. He took everything,” says the source.

In the fall, the investigators came to their senses - and the money was gone. Law enforcement agencies appealed the decision of the Khimki court to recover millions. The Moscow Regional Court overturned the lower court's decision as illegal.

“But it didn’t matter at all, the money had disappeared by that time,” says Lenta.ru’s interlocutor. According to him, the investigator who squandered millions received a strict punishment, and the judge resigned. The security forces, trying to find the money, raided Tsukerman’s place to search him, but he managed to escape during the investigation.

Currently, 43 million rubles and 100 thousand dollars are kept in the case of “God Kuzi”. “But there are already applicants for them, trying to prove that the money belongs to them,” says the source.

Continued story

Lente.ru managed to find out that through the courts, Ananchenko achieved recognition of his right not only to a substantial amount of money, but also to one of the two apartments of his ex-wife Frolushkina. His lawsuit stated that he purchased an apartment from her in Bolshoi Kondratievsky Lane, where followers of her current husband “God Kuzi” gathered and where millions were seized. According to Ananchenko, after concluding the sale and purchase agreement, Frolushkina did not appear at Rosreestr to register the transaction (which is understandable - by that time she was detained).

On November 30, 2015, the Presnensky Court of Moscow satisfied Ananchenko’s claim for state registration of the transfer of ownership of the apartment. Investigators from the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow requested a copy of the materials from this case. Ananchenko-Tsukerman tried to get his ex-wife’s second apartment - on Krasnoproletarskaya Street, but the Tverskoy Court of Moscow left this claim without consideration.

Frolushkina also has a dacha in the Moscow region, where a temple for followers of the “God Kuzi” was built, and non-residential premises on Krasnoproletarskaya Street. “The interested parties have already withdrawn through the courts the assets remaining after Popov’s arrest,” says Lenta.ru’s source in law enforcement agencies. According to him, in the spring of 2016, the investigator allowed Tsukerman (at that time a witness in the case of “God Kuzi”) to meet with Frolushkina, who was in custody. They apparently agreed on everything then.

Andrei Popov and his lawyers completed their review of the case materials (77 volumes). In November, the indictment will be sent to the prosecutor’s office, and if approved, “God Kuzya” will appear in court along with his wife Frolushkina, sect accountant Galina Markevich and follower of “God Kuzya” Nadezhda Rozanova.

Andrei Popov founded a pseudo-Orthodox sect in the 90s. Meetings of its adherents were also held in Bolshoi Kondratievsky Lane, hence the other name of the association - “Kondraty”. Popov was also known for his love of exotic animals and for having a harem of female assistants.

Popov divides his followers into six categories-circles. The first is occupied by wives, the second and third include assistants, a harem and close followers. In the fourth - simple followers. Women from this circle were considered by him as candidates for a harem. In the fifth category are those who do not yet know about the divinity of Kuzi. Popov sent those who rejected him to the sixth circle.

The capital's police are conducting searches in apartments where adherents of the "God Kuzi" sect gathered. Andrei Popov himself, who led the illegal organization, was detained and is now answering questions from investigators. Specific literature, money in various currencies (converted to rubles amounted to more than 50 million), as well as rare animals from the Red Book were confiscated. Popov, who calls himself “God Kuzya,” claims that he has a phenomenal healing gift and is supposedly able to help even in the most hopeless situations.

The appearance of the “god Kuzi” (in the world of Andrei Popov) to police officers occurred at the moment when the operatives were talking with one of his novices. Marina is the owner of the apartment where the leader of an extensive destructive sect has settled. The girl is madly devoted to her spiritual mentor and resists the search in every possible way.

Popov looked extremely confused and appeared before the operatives in the image of a martyr, but behind this religious shell, a real swindler was hiding. The followers of the “god Kuzi” gave their last to their half-blind leader, sold cars and apartments, just to please their mentor. Popov assures that he is not “God Kuzey,” he just looks like him. A real, amazing resemblance to a man who, last year, had a home zoo with rare animals and half a billion rubles in cash.

But somehow the sect leader and his followers managed to escape punishment. This time, detectives say, the evidence base has been more impressive. Early in the morning, law enforcement officers raided the so-called accountant of the religious organization and seized documents reflecting all cash flows. Moreover, the personal treasury of the self-proclaimed god was replenished both through alms for the construction of temples and donations to the residents of Donbass. It is clear that all the funds collected ended up in the pockets of the sectarians.

The law enforcement officers had no doubt that the search of novice Marina’s apartment would yield results. The girl refused to open the lock voluntarily. As it turned out, for iron door there was someone else.

The police nevertheless entered the room. Behind the door was Anastasia Chebotareva, a famous violinist, Honored Artist of Russia, and a world-famous musician. It is not yet known what role she played in Popov’s life. There are more law enforcement officers who will help in the investigation. Popov actually took away from his followers. The bills were neatly folded in a cabinet that stood in the hallway.

Ekaterina Devyatova, representative of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for Moscow: “Today, from 5:00, Moscow police officers, together with colleagues from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, are conducting an operation to identify and bring to legal responsibility the organizers of an extensive destructive sect.
A citizen who calls himself “God Kuzya”, as well as a number of his closest assistants, were detained. Searches are being carried out in Moscow apartments at seven addresses, during which they were seized.”

How it conveys NTV correspondent Pavel Sidelnikov, the owner of the apartment and her spiritual mentor were unable to explain the origin of such an impressive amount. It took the police several hours just to count the banknotes found. In addition, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs discovered specific literature and several aquariums with rare sea ​​fish, Red Book snakes, turtles and a crocodile, although in an apartment at a different address. To assess their condition, law enforcement officials invited workers from the capital's zoo.

The menagerie is not just a decoration. The fact is that the followers of the sect, which Popov organized, deify animals and worship the soul of their mentor’s dead parrot. The bird's name was Kuzey.

Despite “God Kuzi”’s complaints about feeling unwell, he was nevertheless taken to the police station. Criminal. In the near future, investigators intend to petition the court to arrest the sect leader.

The fraudster stole 215 million directly from the account of the Moscow Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Federal Treasury. Forged documents and the Khimki court helped him with this.

A fraudster named Tsukerman stole 215 million rubles from the account of the Moscow Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Federal Treasury, which belonged to Bog Kuza.

We could stop there, but we can’t anymore. Tsukerman's ex-wife is our Kuzi's assistant, detained with him. After hundreds of millions of rubles were seized from the apartment of a fat sectarian, the investigation could not decide who exactly they belonged to?

Zuckerman took advantage of this. He forged promissory notes on behalf of his ex-wife, came with them to the Khimki court in Moscow and received a like. After this, no one’s money, seized from Kuzi, was safely sent to him.

You may ask: how could a judge issue a decree to confiscate 215 million based on a fake certificate?

Dmitry Dubravin, the same judge of the Khimki court, could not answer this question and was safely dismissed.

Having deceived the court, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and God Kuzya himself, Mr. Tsukerman immediately after receiving the money bought several new things: a BMW X6 and a Gelendvagen. Now the cars have already been seized, and operatives are looking for the cunning expropriator.

In a couple of months, our cunning Zuckerman, it turns out, managed to spend almost 130 million rubles.

As the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow officially reports, when they heard about the loss, just over 85 million remained in Tsukerman’s accounts. Investigators, however, were quickly able to find new cars and real estate of our businessman and quickly arrest them. He scattered another part of the money among foreign accounts.

Zuckerman himself, realizing that a bad feeling was in the air, quickly fled abroad. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is wanted.

Famous businessman Yuri Tsukerman (Ananchenko), who was put on the wanted list for the theft of 215 million rubles, was detained in the Moscow region. Let us remind you that these funds were seized by the police from the notorious sect of “God Kuzi”.

As the investigation established, the organizers of the sect forcibly forced their followers to give them all the money and property they had. The criminal case against its spiritual leader Andrei Popov and three of his alleged assistants is now being considered by the Presnensky Court in Moscow.

By the way, everyone who was in the dock noted that Mr. Tsukerman was not involved in the sect, the businessman came “on the smell of money” after the security forces detained his former partner Zhanna Frolushkina, now the wife and alleged accomplice of “God Kuzi” .

Thus, operatives detained Yuri Tsukerman in a cottage near Moscow. The businessman has been charged with committing particularly large-scale fraud (Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). According to law enforcement officers, when operatives were on the trail of “God Kuzi” and secured the arrest of 215 million rubles found in the sect leader’s apartment, Yuri Tsukerman decided to take possession of this money.

To achieve this goal, the investigation materials say, Mr. Tsukerman prepared fake papers, from which it followed that even before the arrest of the sect members, he allegedly transferred this amount for safekeeping to his former partner Zhanna Frolushkina, who by that time had become the wife of “God Kuzi” . With these papers, Yuri Tsukerman obtained in the Khimki City Court the return of money that allegedly belonged to him - 215 million rubles, kept in the account of the financial support center of the capital's main headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were transferred to his account in Sberbank. When the scam was discovered, the police secured the arrest of Yuri Tsukerman’s account, which contained about 85 million rubles, as well as his cars. Now law enforcement officers are figuring out where the rest of the funds went.

The leader is Andrei Yurievich Popov (born 1977) (“god Kuzya”, “Kuzma Alekseev”), previously also known as “Bishop Roman”.

Little is known reliably about A.Yu. Popov himself. He is generally reported to be born in 1977 and to be visually impaired, although he declares himself to be completely blind. It is also known that he was born in Dolgoprudny; As a child I dreamed of a menagerie, had a parrot and a crab. The relationship with his parents was difficult (there was no father, and the mother cruelly punished the boy, thus trying to strengthen his spirit and make a man out of him), and the boy was raised by his grandmother (who developed an interest in religion and esotericism) and grandfather. At the age of 14 he decided that he was a god. It is also known that Popov was married and has a 16-year-old son.

At the same time, on his personal website Popov is presented as “a historian, philosopher, religious scholar, psychologist, poet, writer, member of the Union of Writers of Russia, artist, member of the Union of Artists, composer, singer, biologist, a person of encyclopedic knowledge.” It is stated that he graduated high school with a gold medal, and in 1999 he graduated from the Faculty of History of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov. Then he was engaged in teaching. It is said that the loss of vision occurred at the age of three months after clinical death, of which he survived two. A visually impaired person of the second group. Since 1995, he has been a member of the All-Russian Society of the Blind.

It is also stated that Popov was a gifted child, at the age of three he knew the works of William Shakespeare by heart and composed his first poems. At the age of 12 he received the first category in chess. It is reported that Kuzya is the author of more than 300 books, more than 40 books of poetry, more than 800 musical works, and it is also especially noted that “many times more dictated and not yet published material, thousands of paintings, hundreds of musical works.” It is stated that Popov is a talented artist who paints “paintings with a ‘free hand’: the hand itself chooses the desired color of the pencil and draws what is specified in the title of the painting.” It is noted that “the symbols encode information about the name of the painting; this is a monograph in the astral language.” It is especially emphasized that Kuzya has phenomenal memory and attentiveness, which he continues to develop all the time, and can remember information by ear. It is reported that Popov has the gift of “accurate prediction of events, knows why a particular event occurred and what is needed to ensure that the situation changes and does not happen again.” It is also proclaimed that Kuzya “has a phenomenal healing gift and is able to help from a distance, without seeing a person, even in the most hopeless situations.”

It is stated that “he spent almost his entire life in solitude” and this is explained by the fact that “many were tempted to use him as a ‘pocket old man’.” The website reports that Kuzi “has clergy, but it is not officially recognized.” It was also reported that in March 2009, Popov was “awarded the gold Yesenin medal “For fidelity to the traditions of culture and literature.”

On May 8, 2014, investigators of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for Moscow, during the investigation of a criminal case of assault, conducted searches at the premises of the organization on Krasnoproletarskaya Street and Bolshoy Kondratyevsky Lane. As a result, two dozen boxes were found with thousandth and five thousandth banknotes totaling 219 million rubles (according to other sources - 240 million) and 150 thousand dollars, counterfeit seals of real religious organizations, religious literature, over 50 species of rare animals (among them the Australian echidna , crocodile Tosha, iguana Gunya, monitor lizard, armadillo; the animals were later transferred to the Moscow Zoo), as well as photo and video materials that law enforcement agencies classified as child pornography. According to information from investigators, activities were carried out on the premises aimed at “seizing citizens’ funds through deception and abuse of trust.” The victims have documentary materials (more than a hundred audio recordings and more than 150 books by Popov) and testimony. Between 2007 and 2015, 7 million 385 thousand rubles were stolen from 15 victims through deception and intimidation.

On May 16, 2014, the criminal case opened by the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Central Administrative District of Moscow under Article 116 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“beatings”) against the sect of the god Kuzi was transferred to the inquiry department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow, where investigative and operational activities are carried out, including interrogations of community members. On May 22, Popov was taken to the Moscow police station, but exercised his constitutional right to refuse to testify.

On September 10, 2015, the organizer of the “God Kuzya” sect and a number of his closest assistants were detained under Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“fraud”). During the searches, more than 43 million rubles and over 100 thousand US dollars, as well as rare animals and child pornography, were confiscated from the suspects. On September 11, the Tagansky District Court of Moscow decided to arrest Popov and the alleged chief accountant of the sect, Galina Markevich. Both arrested persons refused to testify, citing Article 51 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. However, Popov told the journalists who visited him that “he is no longer a god and now calls himself a domestic Mamashnik.”

On September 17, 2015, an investigator from the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Central Administrative District of Moscow, as part of a criminal investigation under Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud) interrogated and then charged 49-year-old Moscow resident Zhanna Frolushkina, who is the official wife and confidant of Popov, and also, according to documents, the owner of the apartment. On October 19, the Tagansky District Court decided to take her into custody.

On October 29, 2015, the Moscow City Court recognized the decision of the Tagansky District Court to place Popov and Markevich in custody as legal.

On November 2, 2015, an investigator from the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Central Administrative District of Moscow opened another criminal case against Popov under Article 239 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“creation of a non-profit organization that infringes on the personality and rights of citizens”).

On November 6, 2015, the Tagansky District Court of Moscow extended the detention of Popov, as well as his followers, Nadezhda Rozanova (former adviser general director Moscow International Trade Center), Galina Markevich and Zhanna Frolushkina until January 11, 2016.

On December 30, 2015, the Tverskoy Court of Moscow decided to extend Popov’s detention until March 11, 2016. On February 11, 2016, the Moscow City Court upheld the lower court's decision to extend Popov's detention until March 11, 2016. On March 9, 2016, the Tverskoy Court of Moscow extended Popov’s detention until June 11. On June 7, 2016, the Tverskoy Court of Moscow extended Popov’s detention until September 10. On September 8, 2016, the Moscow City Court extended the detention of Popov, Rozanova and Markevich until December 11, 2016. On September 19, 2016, official representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs I.V. Volk announced the completion of the investigation of the criminal case. On December 11, the court extended the period of detention until March 11, 2017. On March 9, the court extended the period of detention until June 2017. On June 9, 2017, the Moscow City Court left Popov in custody until September 2017. On September 8, 2017, the Moscow City Court extended the terms of detention of Popov, Markevich and Frolushkina until December 11, 2017. On December 18, the terms of detention were extended until May 28, 2018. On January 11, 2018, the court terminated the “criminal case regarding the accusation of Frolushkina Zh.V., Markevich G.M., Rozanova N.A., Rozanova M.V., Grekhova E.I. of committing a crime under Part 3 of Art. 239 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, due to the expiration of the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution,” however, these charges against Popov himself were not dropped; in addition, he, as well as other three people, considered as his accomplices, are accused under Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Police carried out a large-scale special operation to suppress the activities of the sect yesterday in Moscow. Searches with the support of riot police took place at seven addresses - in ordinary apartments the “offices” of a pseudo-Christian sect were located, led by 38-year-old Muscovite Andrei Popov, who calls himself “God Kuzya”.

“During the searches, about 43 million rubles and over 100 thousand US dollars were seized, as well as specific literature and exotic animals kept in improper conditions,” Andrei Galiakberov, a representative of the capital’s police, told RG.

The organizer, according to him, of a destructive sect and a number of his closest assistants were detained.

In addition, they were seized personal computers and notebooks containing “accounting records” in which the sectarians personally witnessed their illegal activities. Namely, that under the guise of a priest, “God Kuzya” and his accomplices collected donations for the restoration of temples. Sometimes they received 300 thousand rubles a day. Popov had all this money at his disposal. Although he himself assures that the almost 50 million rubles found do not belong to him. But he cannot explain their origin and how they got to his home. The sectarians found discs containing videos of beatings of guilty sectarians. According to the police, not all sectarians parted with their money voluntarily. The detainees are suspected of forcibly extorting money and real estate from “parishioners” of the “God Kuzi” sect.

It is reported that Popov loved to bathe in money in the literal sense of the word: adherents of his “teachings” prepared baths filled with banknotes for him. In addition, one of the former members of the sect, Olga Frantseva, said that the “god Kuzi” had many wives who left their jobs, families, and gave him property. One of these unofficial wives even rushed to his defense when the security forces arrived at their place at 5 am. By the way, the door to the apartment in Third Nizhnelikhoborsky Proezd had to be cut with a grinder, since the sectarians completely refused to open it.

Let us note that this is not the first time that the “God Kuzi” sect has come to the attention of the police. In May last year, rare animals were seized from an apartment occupied by adherents of the sect and transferred to the zoo. And in September 2013, a criminal case was opened under the article “Battery”. One of the sectarians suffered from the actions of the sect leaders.

During the searches, a large sum of money was also discovered. In addition, the police found a lot of photo and video materials belonging to the category of child pornography from the sectarians.

In Russian Orthodox Church Yesterday they thanked the police for detaining the founder of the sect, Andrei Popov. “Unfortunately, there are always those who use people’s sincere desire to help poor churches and remote monasteries in order to steal money,” said Vladimir Legoida, head of the Synodal Information Department of the Moscow Patriarchate.

According to him, the sect maliciously used Orthodox paraphernalia to mislead potential donors.

Alexander Dvorkin, professor at St. Tikhon’s Orthodox University:

The name “Sect of God Kuzi” was invented by journalists; Andrei Popov himself never called himself that. First he pretended to be a priest, then a bishop, and when he was exposed, he proclaimed himself God, because no one asks God for any documents. As in any totalitarian sect, first of all it is the realization of the personal complexes and power ambitions of its founder. Everyone is surprised how such an awkward and ugly person could attract so many followers. But look at the leaders of other sects and their teachings, they are no better and no less absurd. I really hope that this arrest will have a logical conclusion in the form of a sentence for fraud and the creation of an organization that causes harm to health and poses a threat to people’s lives. People who are experiencing a stressful state end up in sects - this is an axiom. No one is immune from this; any strong person has a moment of weakness when sectarian recruiters can lure him with attention and affection. If a natural disaster or a mass terrorist attack occurs somewhere, sectarian recruiters, like vultures, immediately flock to this place, because there large number victims and their relatives.
