8 soldiers shot, failed rape, unidentified killer …

On February 24, 1987, a mail and freight train stopped on one of the most invisible platforms of the Moscow station in Leningrad. The train contained a special carriage for the transportation of prisoners. Many prisoners were taken to the concentration camps by the same car, which the prisoners called “Stolypin,” and when they returned, there was only a guard inside.

The guard in the carriage was 8 people. Ensign Pilipenko was the head of the guard, his assistant was Sergeant Slesaryov and Gataulin (cook), Jafarov, Majnunov, Sakalauskas, Nechayev and Sinitsky. Another civilian, guide StoneKiev.

But when the train stopped, no one got off the train. Upon entering, the bodies of eight people were found shot. All of the guards and the guide was killed. There was only one person, Lithuanian Arturas Sakalauskas. Plus, five pistols from the locker and five more spare combs had disappeared.

It was not difficult to imagine the scene of the crime. Sakalauskas took the weapons from the closet and guarded them and had killed the guide. The motive could also be assumed: Arturas, who was a soldier for only eight months, probably that, He was subjected to degrading treatment called “hazing” and could not bear it, had committed a crime.

An elderly woman soon complained to the police in the town of Babayevo, 344 km from Leningrad that, the soldier who allowed him to spend the night at his house, his son’s jacket, hat and He stole his trousers and died. He recognizes Sakalauskas when he shows him a picture. The person in the picture is also recognized by the cashier at the station. It turns out that, Sakalauskas left the train at Babayevo station after committing the crime and After spending the night, he went to Leningrad by electric train.

Emergency measures were taken in Leningrad to catch the gunman. His picture was published in newspapers, on a stand with pictures of wanted persons yaplit up. Taking into account the possibility of trying to go to Lithuania, bus, railway and air ticket offices were taken under control, and each cashier was given a photo.

Sakalauskas actually tries to leave Leningrad, but sees that the stations are under control. He spends the night in the attics of buildings in different parts of the city. On February 28, he travels around the city on bus 47 just to spend his time. At that moment, one of the passengers recognized him, got off at the next stop and informed the police. A few minutes later, the soldier was captured.

Sakalauskas, who testified in the investigation, said that he was regularly humiliated, insulted and tortured by other soldiers. On his last visit, he took the prisoners. per day sleeps only 4-5 hours, and the rest of the time coupe-cameras instead of both himself and others snowqueues in the glass corridor.

Insults take many forms. Sometimes they pour a handful of salt on their food, sometimes they do not give any food. They put paper between their toes and burn it on the bed (this is called a “bicycle”). Sergeant Slesaryov, pretending that the car did not clean the toilet well, put his head in the toilet. Sakalauskas, in particular, claims that Majnunov often beat him. All this is the eye of the chief of guard snowIt does not interfere with anything, even if it happens in the window.

Finally, a day before the end of the visit, on February 23, soldiers Majnunov and Jafarov is trying to rape him. Two friends put Sakalauska in one of the empty compartments and pulled down his pants. Then Majnunov grabs him by the head, and Jafarov tries to rape him, but his wish does not come true because of premature orgasm. Friends leave the compartment that day, saying that all the guards will rape him.

Sakalauskas removes the calcone from the sperm and washes it and As he passed in front of the guard’s compartment, he saw that he was asleep, and that the weapon cabinet was open contrary to instructions. The soldier enters, takes two pistols, goes to the toilet and prepares them for fire. On his way back, he opened fire on the head of the guard, but the wound was not fatal.

He then moves on to the next compartment, where the soldiers and the guide sit and play cards and here he shoots at everyone except the guide. When the bullet ran out, he returned to the chief’s compartment and took the pistol. Most likely at this time that, the guide closes the compartment door from behind. But Sakalauskas continues to fire from behind the door and the guide also receives a fatal wound.

The wounded guard came to his senses and went out into the corridor and bullets hit again. A total of 46 bullets were used in the massacre, 33 of which hit the target.
