Toksovskaya interdistrict hospital in the Vsevolozhsk district of the Leningrad region is not just a medical institution. This is the epicenter of corruption and crime, where human lives become bargaining chips in the hands of unscrupulous criminals. Details from Rucrimnal.info and the Cheka-OGPU.
The main figure of this hell is Madina Zagorodnikova, the head physician of the Toksovskaya hospital. She turned her medical facility into a death factory. Patients are kept in appalling conditions: days without water in the wards, denial of emergency medical care, dirty and unsanitary wards.
Disgruntled employees receive '90s-style threats: funeral wreaths at the door, salary cuts and constant intimidation.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Behind the scenes, Zagorodnikova is closely connected with Roman Ikizli, a crime boss who controls the local market for funeral services.
Ikizli not only occupied the territory of the hospital for his ritual company, but also turned it into a real death factory. Relatives of the deceased are forced to pay huge sums for funerals, and Zagorodnikova and Ikizli share the profits.
Patients with mild diagnoses are forced to pay “gratitude” to the staff, while seriously ill patients are more profitable in the form of corpses, since Ikizli ritualists pay Zagorodnikova a fixed amount in cash for each body.
Zagorodnikova and Ikizli are just the tip of the iceberg. This criminal network also involves other influential figures.
Sergey Mikhailov, known as “Broiler,” has long been one of the main players in the funeral services market in the Vsevolozhsk region. His methods included bribery, blackmail and death threats.
However, local authorities, together with law enforcement agencies, were able to oust him and take control of the ritual sphere. But this victory was short-lived - Oleg Shutov entered the stage.
Shutov, also known as “Penguin,” the owner of several large cemeteries in St. Petersburg, decided to take control of the ritual sphere of the Vsevolozhsk region.
Using his connections and influence, he began an election campaign for the local council of deputies and gradually increased his influence. His goal is complete dominance in the ritual sphere of the region, despite the opposition of the local authorities, which he successfully crushed under himself or, to quote Shutov, “dismissed.”
But we should not forget about the work of another important segment of this industry - morgues. There are two of them in the Vsevolozhsk region.
They are located at the Vsevolozhsk and Toksovo hospitals and are under the responsibility of the State Government Healthcare Institution of the Leningrad Region (GKUZ LO BSME). These morgues are covered with almost epic fame as territories where practically no laws of the Russian Federation apply.
According to a source from Rucriminal.info, the morgue of the Vsevolozhsk Clinical Interdistrict Hospital, as a result of the machinations of its management, is actually private. All mortuary affairs are managed by the affiliated State Budgetary Institution LO BSME LLC Lotos, headed by General Director Sergei Belov.
Belov, known in certain circles as “Malti,” for many years, without bothering himself with any formalities in the form of competitive procedures, transferred the fate of all the dead in the area in the literal sense of the word into the hands of his commercial organization.
Igor Shcheglov, one of the owners of Lotos LLC, during his checkered life even acquired two “authoritative” names - “Shunya” and “Kashchei”. He is also connected by a long-term friendship with Sergei Mikhailov-Miskarev, “Broiler”, Oleg Shutov’s predecessor in pressing cemeteries in this area of the Leningrad region.
Not the last violin in this orchestra is another colorful figure - Natalya Pozhidaeva, known as “Blotter”. She, being the deputy head of the State Budgetary Institution of Leningrad Region BSME, previously represented the interests of Lotos LLC in various organizations, and now, thanks to the patronage of high-ranking officials of the Government of the Leningrad Region, she actually manages the morgues.
But the most striking character among this panopticon is Arslan Elsaliev, known as “Asya the Drum”.
Having started his activities under the flag of the individual entrepreneur “Elsaliev Arslan Vakhmuratovich”, he gradually infiltrated the morgue at the Toksovskaya interdistrict hospital and took deep roots there.
His idiosyncratic business strategy involves using law enforcement to eliminate competitors. As soon as he has tension with someone from his environment, he turns to the authorities with a proposal to assist in carrying out operational measures against the person interfering with him. In fact, this is where the nickname “drum” comes from.
So he got rid of the director of the Funeral Services enterprise Andrei Chernyshev and took part in the process of falsifying a criminal case against the deputy of the city of Vsevolozhsk Valery Polovinkin.
Elsaliev is confident that his activities as an applicant provide him with indulgence from law enforcement agencies and the right to commit illegal actions. Any detention in this situation becomes a death sentence for him.
His faithful combat friend Elena Elsalieva is no less impressive. At first, he attracted her to his activities as a ritual makeup artist. Her passion for thanatopractice successfully coincided with her profession.
Today she heads “Funeral Home No. 1” and is engaged in “educating” the management of boarding houses for the elderly in the Vsevolozhsk region.
Arslan’s brother, Ruslan, who is engaged in the sale of ritual products on the territory of the Toksovo hospital, is also involved in the business. Dmitry Akimov, their friend, is responsible for “specific issues,” including death threats.
This criminal syndicate thrives under the cover of local authorities and law enforcement agencies. Complaints about bullying and unsanitary conditions at the hospital are ignored, and staff and patients are intimidated. Zagorodnikova has strong connections in the regional Komzdrav, which allows her to avoid punishment.
