Biography

It is not easy to recognize in Marina Sherstobitova, the wife of the killer Lyosha the soldier, the first wife of Sergei Druzhko, a successful TV presenter and actor who played in the series Streets of Broken Lights, Lethal Force, and The Romanovs.

This photo was taken November 3, 2005. The picture shows Sergey Druzhko in a wedding suit in the arms of his future wife Marina Sosnenko.

And in this photo, in the arms of a killer who will sit in a colony for another 13 years, it would seem that a completely different woman. Burning brunette with changed features. But this is the same Marina, now Sherstobitova.

She met Druzhko at one of the social events. A girl from St. Petersburg became the actor's mistress and very often visited him in Moscow. After a short time, the couple decided to sign. On November 2, 2006, they had a son, who was named Evgeny in honor of his father Sergei Druzhko. But the family idyll did not last long. A year after the marriage, the couple decided to divorce.

After parting, the actor took his son to himself. In 2007, in court, Marina was deprived of parental rights. This decision, according to a source close to the family, Sosnenko did not dispute. The girl is not interested in the fate of her son, and at the moment, 9-year-old Eugene is completely raised by his father. It is known that now the former spouses do not communicate and do not maintain relations.

In the further biography of the girl there are many white spots. On the Internet, you can find information that Marina worked as a model and even wrote horror novels - this is how they write about her in a number of publications.

Foreign information sites also indicate that Maria Druzhko worked with famous European fashion houses Dior and Chanel, was a top model for Vivienne Westwood`s. Allegedly, she was married to American actor Larry Drake for a month and met with Scottish actor David O'Hara, who played roles in famous Hollywood blockbusters.

Information about the tumultuous career of a top model and writer was denied by the tax service. They emphasized that Marina had not officially worked anywhere before.

The journalists also managed to contact and communicate with Marina's mother Natalia. The woman said that, as in the case of her first husband, she approved of her daughter's new relationship.

I'm not scared. I'm fine with this. And I approved my first marriage. Marina arrived after the wedding. Shared good experiences. Now she lives alone, rents an apartment, - said Natalya.

Speaking about Marina's current career, Natalya noted that everything that they write about her on the Internet is complete nonsense.

Never in my life has my daughter worked as a model or written a book,” she says.

It was possible to contact Marina herself only on social networks. The girl refused to meet with journalists and, after answering a few questions, completely deleted the page. Marina wrote that she met Lyosha the soldier, who is responsible for 12 contract killings, on the Internet.

With Lyosha we met through correspondence. I read his "Liquidator" and decided to write, support, cheer up, because through the lines it was clear how hard it was for him and how many experiences and heaviness in his soul. I wrote, he answered. It was at the end of October 2015, - said Marina.

Relations developed quickly. And already in May 2016, the couple hinted at a quick wedding by posting a photo of wedding rings on their pages. As Aleksey Sherstobitov explained on his Facebook page, "this is a gift from Marina's spiritual father (Aleksey Sherstobitov's fiancee) on the wedding day of Marina and Aleksey."

Later in June, the couple announced to all the media. In the photographs, Marina and Lyosha posed as gangsters during Prohibition in America.

On the page on the social network (until it was deleted), the girl introduced herself as a cadet of the Military Medical Academy. Kirov, faculty of training doctors for the Navy. In some photos, Marina is frank and defiant, in others she shows the form of the Navy. But as explained to Life in the Military Medical Academy, such a student and graduate has never been within the walls of the academy, both in the civilian direction and in the military. None of the university staff even recognized such a bright Petersburger.

Sherstobitova several times on her page left photos from the daily duty, where she demonstrated a gun and was in a medical uniform. The girl left a geotag under the pictures: Arsenalnaya, 9. A specialized psychiatric hospital is located at this address in the city. Life journalists also asked if the chosen one of Lyosha the soldier worked there. As in previous cases, the doctors did not recognize the girl.

In social networks, Sherstobitova also presented herself as a forensic expert. Life checked whether she is related to this profession. For the first time, the name of the girl was heard in the Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination in St. Petersburg, noting that she had definitely never worked in this area.

A complete change of image and a change of profession at the age of 30, perhaps just a well-planned PR campaign for the soon-to-be-published book by Lyosha the Soldier. Aleksey Sherstobitov called his new novel "Experts" (the second working title is "Marina"). The prototype of the main character of the novel was the current wife of the killer.

This novel, dedicated to you, my beloved Marina, is only the beginning of what a loving person can do, who today does not have any other possibilities. He will obviously move to infinity the boundaries of possible sacrifice for the sake of a loved one. I know that you will never stop at nothing, any circumstances that suddenly appear between us in the form of a wall will collapse from the mere desire to overcome them, and any person, only feeling the power of an eternal feeling, will express a desire to help, no matter what it costs him , says the author.

In the prologue of the future book, Lyosha the soldier writes about a love relationship with his wife. She is a captain in the Navy, she serves in a special institution - just like Marina on her page on the social network. According to the plot of the book, the killer eventually kills his beloved.

The legendary killer Alexei Sherstobitov, while imprisoned in the Lipetsk colony, writes books, composes songs, got married again and leads an active network life.

Sentenced to 23 years for murders committed in the 90s, the killer of the famous Medvedkovskaya group, Alexei Sherstobitov, does not lose courage and regularly shares his photos from the colony, supplementing them with philosophical quotes. The conclusion in no way affected his love of life, but only made him a prolific writer and poet.

Aleksey Sherstobitov, 51, is serving a 23-year sentence in the Lipetsk colony for 12 contract killings committed in the 1990s.

Fame came to Sherstobitov in the middle of the 2000s, after he successfully hid from justice for many years. Interestingly, for a long time Sherstobitov was considered a fictional character, and his pseudonym - Lesha Soldier - was a collective image of a group of assassins.

His life changed dramatically after his arrest in 2006. Then he made a sensational confession about 12 contract killings of crime bosses and businessmen, and as a result received 23 years of strict regime. But even in the colony, he found something to do, starting to write poetry and prose. The starting point of his career behind bars was his autobiography The Liquidator. After its release, Alexei continues to try himself in new genres, and just a few days ago his new book "Demon on Yavoni" was published.

But the famous killer did not stop at these achievements. Now he is learning a “new craft” - he has become active in the network directly from the Lipetsk colony: Sherstobitov’s accounts have been found in almost all social networks. The outrageous prisoner is of great interest to users. Online, he shares some of the details of his time in prison and advises readers to start every day with a smile.

The famous prisoner supplied the pictures with philosophical quotes like this one:

They say that history cannot be changed. But it's not. It is impossible to return the past day, but it is quite possible to correct yesterday's mistakes today. And then "it was bad" will turn into "it was bad, but since then everything has changed." The story of your life is yours, so that you and only you yourself be its creator and rewrite it yourself, if necessary.

Lesha Soldier has an official website, group in VKontakte dedicated to his life, and quite popular YouTube channel. However, until recently, the most interesting news about Sherstobitov could be found from Istagram. The account, which was recently deleted during publicity in the media, was run by the killer's current wife, Marina. By the way, the story of their love surprised the world back in June 2016, when they registered their marriage.

Sherstobitov and his fiancee Marina, a psychiatrist who used to work as a medical examiner.

With his future wife, 33-year-old psychiatrist from St. Petersburg Marina Sosnenko, the genius of disguise met through correspondence. Previously, the spectacular brunette was married to the famous actor Sergei Druzhko. Letter after letter, Alexei and Marina got to know each other better and eventually decided to get married. The ceremony itself, carefully coordinated with the administration of the colony, lasted only about 15 minutes. And from the photo gallery of the official website of the crime writer, it became known that the young people also consecrated the bonds of marriage with a wedding.

The marriage registration procedure was carried out in the office of the deputy. head of the ITC For this, a registry office employee was specially invited. Among the few invited were only the closest relatives and friends of the newlyweds - Lesha Soldat's sisters, childhood friends of both spouses and the killer's lawyer. After the marriage, the young, as legal spouses, received permission for a long meeting. Also on the occasion of the marriage, the prison authorities allowed a photo shoot. The newlyweds posed in the costumes of American gangsters of the Prohibition period.

Despite the fact that many events from his personal life have become public, Alexey continues to be a man of mystery. In many ways, this is facilitated by his past life, many situations from which have not yet been voiced. Only sometimes Sherstobitov opens this curtain of mystery, talking about the ups and downs of the 90s.

One of his loudest statements was his confession to the murder of Otari Kvarntrishvili in 1994. It was this high-profile case that caused a storm of emotions among those around him and made Lesha Soldat re-realize how slippery his path as a killer became after this order.

Boris Berezovsky after the assassination attempt in 1994

But the most difficult target, according to Sherstobitov, was Boris Berezovsky. The oligarch visited him at gunpoint in the same 1994. The reason for "this meeting" was a controversial $100,000 between a well-known crime boss and a businessman. After Berezovsky survived the explosion of his car, Alexei was ordered to finish him off. But just a few seconds before completing the task, the killer learned that the decision to eliminate was canceled.

Aleksey was detained at the beginning of 2006, at a time when he had already retired. Law enforcement agencies learned about the existence of Sherstobitov only in 2003, when the leaders of the Orekhovo-Medvedkovskaya organized criminal group were arrested. One of them wrote a frank confession, where he first "leaked" his killer. Ordinary militants spoke during interrogations about a certain "Lesha the Soldier", but no one knew either his last name or what he looked like. The investigators believed that "Lesha the Soldier" was some kind of mythical collective image. Sherstobitov himself was extremely cautious: he did not communicate with ordinary bandits, did not participate in their gatherings. He was a master of conspiracy and reincarnation: going to work, he always used wigs, fake beards or mustaches. Sherstobitov left no fingerprints at the crime scene, and there were no witnesses.

In 2005, Andrey Koligov, one of the leaders of the Kurgan organized criminal group (she was associated with the Orekhovskaya and Medvedkovskaya organized crime groups), who was serving a long term, unexpectedly called the investigators to him and stated that a certain killer had once beaten off his girlfriend (it was Irina). Through her, the detectives went to Sherstobitov, who was detained in early 2006, when he came to the Botkin hospital to visit his father. During a search of Sherstobitov's rented apartment in Mytishchi, detectives found several pistols and machine guns.

Recall that while serving his sentence, Sherstobitov wrote 11 books on criminal topics. The controversial literary value of the works does not interfere with the popularity of the writer. Readers note the usefulness of books in cognitive terms. After all, the events of those years are still fresh in my memory. In anticipation of the verdict, Alexey Shestorbitov wrote a cycle of poems devoted to the themes of remorse and death.

Everything that you want to say to the outside world today, the ex-killer pours out with the help of creativity. He tries to remember his “past sins” as little as possible and looks to the future with optimism.

How the brilliant military dynasty of the Sherstobitovs continued

Although the word "killer" comes from the English killer, that is, the killer, its sound quite recently fascinated many, it exuded some kind of gloomy romance. In fact, there was nothing romantic in the killers of the 90s. Take at least Alexey Sherstobitov nicknamed Lesha Soldier- the killer of the Medvedkovskaya organized criminal group.

Carier start

Alexei was born into a family of hereditary military men - his great-grandfathers served in the tsarist army, his grandfather participated in the defense of Sevastopol, his father was a Soviet career officer. He himself graduated from a military school, rose to the rank of lieutenant - and in 1991 he was laid off, like many in those years. I had to somehow support my wife and infant.

Sherstobitov tried to shuttle, trade - but he did not succeed with commerce. Much better things went in the gym. It was there, pulling "pieces of iron", that Alexey met a former KGB officer Grigory Gusyatinsky - Griney, one of the leaders of the Medvedkovskaya organized crime group, who first offered him to work as a security guard for trade tents, and then, like a well-aimed shooter, hired him to be a killer: first set him up, and then threatened that he would harm Alexei's family, and forced him to work.

So Lesha the Soldier was born.

Robot in a wig

During the first six months of the new "work" Sherstobitov killed three. For what these people were sentenced to death, no one explained to him - they did not consider it necessary. Soon, his work was approved by himself - one of the most powerful leaders of the then criminal world of the capital, who also oversaw Medvedkov's.

Medvedkovskaya met at a dacha in the Vladimir region. Sherstobitov did not like these gatherings, but was forced to attend. True, he appeared on them with a changed appearance - in a false mustache and beard, in a wig. Few people inside the gang knew what he looked like in real life.

He himself admitted that a good weapon as such delighted him, and was proud of his ability to wait - one of the main killer's craft. Aleksey, one might say, approached his tasks creatively - he chose his own weapons, and the point of observation of the object, and the passport number, and even appearance.

He received for his daily readiness to go on business two thousand dollars a month. Then two and a half. Sometimes there was an award for a specific case from Gusyatinsky himself - but this was not every time.

Side effects

When attempting to painted- thief in law by name Andrey Isaev Two little girls were hurt. When a car filled with explosives exploded, one of them died, and the other was injured and left disabled. Painted, however, managed to survive and not even suffer much - the doctors saved him.

During the assassination attempt on the head of Russian Gold Alexandra Tarantseva a failure occurred: a remote-controlled device with a Kalashnikov assault rifle did not work on time. As a result, a guard was killed and two passers-by were injured - but Tarantsev survived.

But the murder of a businessman Otari Kvantrishvili, one of the main antagonists of Sylvester, went like clockwork - and became the loudest case of Lesha the Soldier. He fired three bullets from an Anschutz carbine with a telescopic sight into the victim - and later received a VAZ-2107 car for this.

Changed the machine gun to a pen

After Sylvester himself was killed in September 1994, Sherstobitov, together with Gusyatinsky, leaves for Ukraine - for security purposes. There, he pretty soon kills the hated chief - wounds him with a sniper rifle; he lies in a coma for several days, after which he is disconnected from life support devices.

In 2003, the leaders of the Orekhovskys fell into the hands of law enforcement agencies, after which the Ministry of Internal Affairs learned about the existence of the killer Lesha Soldat. However, it was possible to detain him only in 2006. By this time, Sherstobitov had long since retired from killer cases - however, 12 murders and one attempt were proven. Alexei was sentenced to 23 years in prison.

In places not so remote, the former Lyosha Soldier discovered a gift for writing in himself; among other things, he wrote an autobiographical book, The Liquidator. Now he is serving time in a colony in the Lipetsk region. In 2016 he got married.
