Vasily Stepanov's family saves him from a psychiatric clinic: new details. "He is peaceful, he goes to church"

The drama broke out again: a 7-year-old schoolgirl was raped there. Everyone knows the name of the rapist - including the police and the prosecutor's office. The village has been groaning from it for a long time. And he remains unpunished. Because he is not 14 - the age at which a criminal can be prosecuted. "Izvestia" visited Lychkovo again. And the conclusion drawn there is frightening: the laws are such that a recidivist youngster is a dead end from which there is no way out.

About the village of Lychkovo "Izvestia" was told in the spring of 2007. One lives there... Nicknamed Dwarf. He can break the back of a kitten, for the sake of laughter, hang a dog. And that year, a child disappeared in Lychkovo - 5-year-old Vanya Volkov. When they found him, it turned out that this same Dwarf had killed him. It turns out that Vanya began to protect his puppy from the flayer, then the Dwarf first killed the dog, then the little owner. He himself confessed to everything. True, not immediately: at first he locked himself, he was afraid of punishment ...

There was no punishment: an 11-year-old youngster cannot be brought to court and not put in jail. Then he was placed in a psychiatric hospital. For half a year. But the village rejoiced at the respite. And many even hoped that they would be delivered from the fiend for a long time.

The only one in the village who understood what would happen when the Karlik was discharged was Lychkov's Aniskin - district police officer Alexei Karasev.

People come to me with reproaches: you can’t cope with one youngster! - Karasev waves his hand. It's embarrassing to look them in the eye! What will I do? The task force leaves - and we can only threaten him with a finger. After all, no one even warned me that he was returning from the hospital, I found out about this when everything started anew in the village ...

After six months of treatment, the Dwarf learned the main thing: he will not be punished! After the murder, I was afraid. And what happened? They took him from the house, where there is dirt, stench, holes in the walls and nothing to eat, and sent to the hospital - it's clean, the food is good, lie to yourself ...

Now Karlik is thirteen. This spring, he raped a 7-year-old girl.

The Inhuman is back

The first "bell" was when someone climbed onto the territory of our vocational school, stole a fire extinguisher, and left it nearby, - says district police officer Karasev. “Then two families turned at once: the Karlik beat their children and robbed them of their money.

Then, the villagers say, he half to death kicked the local gypsy with his feet and a stick - a harmless drunkard who crouched on the street. Just like that, for laughs. The drunkard was asleep and could not answer.

Closer to spring, one evening in Lychkovo, a trailer-shop caught fire. Shortly before the fire, the saleswoman and the owner saw the Dwarf running around. For a start, he tied the locks on the doors with ropes so that it would not be opened from the inside.

I noticed that he was busy there, pushed the door - it did not open! - recalls the owner of the store Sasha. - Well, I called, we were untied. And after some time I hear - something is cracking ... I jumped out, and then everything was on fire! Only the refrigerator was pulled out ...

The trailer burned to the ground along with the goods. It's good that no one died. The arsonist, as you understand, was not punished: he is still small.

Didn't you think of dealing with it yourself? - carefully ask the owner of the store. Well, in a way...

What are you doing! Sasha rolls her eyes. I already thought he would be indignant that they offered him lynching. And he continues: - This is Karlik getting away with everything, but we will be imprisoned for him ... And then, it's scary: I, there, opened the store again, so he will burn the new one, what’s he ...

But the incident last spring was the last straw. However, about the "last straw" in Lychkovo they shouted two years ago, after the death of Vanechka.

At the end of March, on the last day of school holidays, the Dwarf raped a first grader. Little Alenka (name changed) is Karlik's niece. This is his older sister's daughter.

"He is peaceful, he goes to church"

Their family in Lychkovo is called Popami - after the grandfather of Lyuba Stepanova. And for some time now - also according to her new "hobby".

Even after the murder of Vanya, she became very pious, - the district police officer grins. - Everyone goes to church and takes his son. He comes out of the church - and goes to beat someone.

Even Lyuba Stepanova agreed to be photographed only in a headscarf. She hastily put it on, smiled benevolently, without opening her lips, then shakes her head: "I turned to the Lord!"

Their house is just opposite the church. And in three houses from Vanya's mother.

What have we done to her, that she turns her nose up at us? - Lyuba is sincerely perplexed about her neighbor.

The house is utterly filthy and stinks, terrible poverty creeps in from every crack. Nobody really works here.

Well, I, this, work in the forest, - revealing a toothless smile, Lyuba reports.

We collect berries, - her smart daughter Nina quickly interjects.

Yep, scrap metal! - Mom rejoices.

It is clear that she is a strong woman. And stupid. For her six children, she is an authority. Perhaps the only one. When asked about the youngest (and I call the Dwarf by name), she clasps her hands and starts a patter:

This is the whole life! Like what happens - so on my children! The police are angry with me, that's why they began to get me through the children! I raised six by myself! And they! They told the eldest, and the daughter, and Zhenechka ...

Lyuba's eldest son and middle daughter are in prison. Zhenechka - average. A few years ago, he was charged with the gang rape of a child, but escaped punishment as a youngster. There is also a daughter, Tatyana (Alenka's mother). She is an alcoholic.

So what happened to Alyonka, - I interrupt her cry.

With Alenka? - Lyuba's eyes run, but she smiles and wipes her hands on her skirt. - But there was nothing ... Vova drove her home, she screamed, and Tanka attacked him from the bay ...

So Vova is not to blame for anything?

What am I saying? - picks up Lyuba. - He is peaceful with me, he goes to church with me, such a good boy!

"I saw how they have sex"

Everything that happened to Alenka is known from her words. And this is what struck the doctor who examined the girl in her story: she spoke about everything absolutely calmly, as about something unpleasant, but not about a tragedy. She was cheerful, she was interested in what the doctor had in his office. And this is the kid who just got raped?

"He undressed me, threw me on the bed, tore off my clothes! - the girl told the doctor. - Then he began to do it - I saw how they had sex. I screamed, but he did not pay attention."

It seems that in the family she is used to seeing this, and not necessarily on TV, the doctor adds.

They also say at school: on the first day after the holidays, Alenka did not come to class, but then she appeared and behaved as if nothing had happened.

We did everything in order not to injure the girl, - says the director Olga Kulchitskaya, - but even without this she looked as usual, quite cheerful.

I, of course, had a question: maybe there was no violence? Maybe the child made it all up? Especially since the alleged rapist is 13 years old...

It is he who lags behind in mental development, but physically far ahead of his peers, - the director grins.

Physicians consider: was. It’s just that the girl didn’t really understand what happened to her, or she really had seen enough of everyone at home.

He confessed himself! - slams the district police officer on the table. - After the murder, he locked himself up, said - "not me", but then he calmly told everything. He already knows that nothing will be done to him ...

Here the root must be sought in the family, in the mother, - says Tatyana Bogdanova, head physician of the village outpatient clinic. - The boy has an extremely pronounced degree of anger, and this is a defect in education. The mother believes that she gave birth to six - this is her feat, and someone else must do everything else for her children.

"I am a mother, not deprived of rights!"

On the first day after spring break, not only Alenka did not come to school, but also the Dwarf. And thank God, otherwise it could have gone as far as lynching. The village "ripened", and already in the morning the parents attacked the director with a demand to throw out the murderer and the rapist, to protect the rest of the children from him.

What can I do? - director Olga Kulchitskaya spreads her hands in the same way as the district police officer did just recently. - According to the law, he is the same child, we are obliged to teach him.

And so the school was the only place where the Dwarf could not harm anyone. In other words, it is possible to keep him in check.

But what does it cost us, if you knew, - the director shakes his head. - He throws desks, so we just get between him and the children.

If the teachers succeed, then why does the mother not take care of the offspring? However, in Lychkovo they have long understood that it is as useless to rely on Lyuba Stepanova as on the help of the law: both are always on the side of the Karlik. There was only one thing left: to deprive Lyuba Stepanov of parental rights, so that the state or the one who receives the “rights” to Karlik would deal with him. This is what the village is trying to achieve. It was the whole village: petitions to the court were signed at school, in the village administration, in the outpatient clinic, in the police, this was supported by the prosecutor's office and all the residents worried about it.

But the law was on the side of the Stepanov family here too: the court found no reason to deprive Lyuba of parental rights.

I am a mother, not deprived of my rights! She victoriously beats her chest with her fist.

Out of jurisdiction

Or maybe the child is just sick?

I don't think so, the headmaster shakes his head. - He is very aware of what he is doing. You talk to him - he lies with a blue eye that he knows nothing, but you catch him - he immediately agrees, asks for forgiveness, says that there will be no more ...

Izvestiya turned to psychiatrist Viktor Styazhkin, head doctor of a specialized psychiatric hospital in St. Petersburg, where offenders who have been declared insane are treated. The doctor, of course, immediately noted that talking about a patient without seeing him was an empty business. But he added something.

Most likely, if the guy has already been admitted to the hospital, then his diagnosis will remain with him for life, the psychiatrist suggested. - And in case of any offense, he will be declared insane and placed on treatment.

What does it mean?

First, the law makes it clear to the youngster that he is not punishable. His mother is also not punishable, because she has many children and does not drink. Taking advantage of impunity, a teenager terrorizes an entire village. He is sent to a mental hospital - because there is no other way to isolate him from the unfortunate fellow villagers. And then he automatically receives the status of "untouchable" for life?!

Now Karlik is in the hospital again. And again, like two years ago, in Lychkovo they hope that he will not return - at least until he is fourteen. But it will come out again in the fall. And again he will not take the medication prescribed by the psychiatrist, because his mother will decide so again. What then?

Then there will be a holiday in the village of Lychkovo: they will probably celebrate the 14th anniversary of the Karlik like no other birthday. And then ... Maybe the village will get rid of him, but at what cost? In order for this youngster to finally end up where, in the opinion of fellow villagers, he belongs, he must kill someone, rape, "at worst" - rob.

I forgot to say: when the Dwarf attacked Alenka, her little brother stood nearby and goggled. It seems that a change is growing up in the Stepanov family ...

INTERNET SURVEY "Izvestia" and KM.RU

A 13-year-old murderer and rapist terrorizes the entire village. The law does not allow him to be punished. What to do?

51%: Serious crimes must be tried regardless of age.
35%: Powerlessness of power can provoke lynching
9%: Revive prosecution from the age of 12 - this is how it was under Stalin
5%: Parents should be held accountable for the heinous crimes of children

4081 people took part in the survey

And no wonder: two years ago, the boy committed a murder, and now he is again suspected of a terrible crime - the rape of a little girl. But what is most terrible: the juvenile recidivist, it seems, will not suffer any punishment.

Reporting by Ilya Kostin.

This house in the village of Lychkovo, Novgorod region, the locals try to avoid. With reluctance, the village district policeman also comes here. Still no results from such visits.

Aleksey Karasev, senior district police officer of the Demyansk District Department of the Interior: "He doesn't understand human language. He doesn't understand. You just explain it to him, but he can't understand it."

Who is "he" in Lychkovo, probably, even dogs know. He can break their paw and set fire to their wool. Or in general, hang a stone around your neck and drown it in the river, the locals bitterly admit. But if you say a harsh word to him or make a remark, expect trouble. The saleswoman from the grocery store, Lyudmila, first tried to educate, and then almost burned down along with the trailer.

Lyudmila Afanasyeva, saleswoman of the store: “He locked me up in this store. He just tied me up on both sides.

The day when the juvenile flayer switched to people will be remembered in Lychkov for a long time. The mutilated body of five-year-old Vanya Volkov was found in a ditch near the cemetery. The investigation did not last long. The tormentor confessed to the murder himself. Vanya's parents could not recover from grief.

Svetlana Volkova, mother of the murdered Vanya: "I don't want anyone to see that I'm crying. I don't want to. This is my pain, not yours. This is mine."

Since one cannot be sent to prison at the age of eleven, the only thing that the prosecutor's office managed to achieve was to send a juvenile delinquent to a psychiatric hospital. For half a year. The teenager left the hospital with a new thirst for adventure.

By that time, one clear rule had already formed in his head - no matter what he did, he would still go unpunished. On the table at the prosecutor of the Demyansk region are folders describing his exploits for only one month. Here and robberies, and robberies, and rape.

Tatyana Vinogradova, deputy prosecutor of the Demyansky district: "Under this article 131 "rape", the age of criminal responsibility starts from 14 years old, and by the time the crime was committed, this teenager had reached 13 years old. Until he turns 14 years old, he cannot be held criminally liable."

The mother of the young recidivist Lyubov Alekseevna herself shows a photograph of her son. On it, the youngest of her six children, Vova Stepanov, is thirteen. The picture was taken shortly before the teenager was again placed in a psychiatric hospital.

Lyubov Stepanova, mother of Vova Stepanova: “And that’s what’s happening here, all my children seem to be to blame. It’s as if the police officers didn’t have this incident in the Demyansky district. ".

The mother believes that her son was undeservedly slandered. In fact, the boy did not commit any crimes, is healthy and does not need treatment. The teachers of the Lychkov school, where the unfortunate student reached the sixth grade, have a different opinion.

Tatyana Mikhailova, deputy director for educational work of the Lychkovskaya school: “The child needed help, and we all saw and understood it, but the mother is responsible for him. she is a good mother and she has not been deprived of parental rights."

The period of compulsory psychiatric treatment, which was determined by the court, was again six months. And then - all over again?

Igor Torchagin, deputy chief physician of the Novgorod Regional Psychiatric Hospital: "It is not necessary to expect from such a person, a teenager-child, that he will drastically change his behavior with the onset of the age of criminal responsibility."

In the meantime, prosecutors intend to seek to place Vova in a closed educational institution. And they are preparing a new lawsuit to deprive the mother of parental rights.

Vova will most likely leave the hospital in autumn. But in his native village, his return is awaited with anxiety. The feeling of impunity gives rise to explosive combinations: from fear and hatred to maternal compassion and dreary hopelessness.

If we put together the latest initiatives of the "people's elected government", then I see no other definition of their actions as the genocide of Russians.
And this nepotrebnik is one of many who are covered.

but for me, it was necessary for the village peasants to get together and properly from ... * - to straighten the brains of this young man. to set it so that he could no longer rape anyone and never. in general, from time immemorial, this is how problems were solved in the villages. and it did help.

I watched the plot, they did it in one village - a scumbag who also terrorized everyone, they just took it and beat it with a crowd and threw it into the well, and everyone is silent ...
If the government doesn't want to do shit, why the hell should people tolerate it?

Strange, however. They live in fear, they are afraid, but no one is doing anything: neither the police nor the villagers themselves. And sometimes you think - but in vain

we have a moratorium on the death penalty, with people like this "miracle" that's the only way ...

Fig guy gives

No body, no case...

And there could be a legal order of restriction from such future Chikatilos ... But no. Dumaks cannot - "humanism" does not allow them ...
And further. Whatever this beast is - it looks like a human child - it's scary to kill a normal person - there is still morality ...

I watched the plot, they did it in one village - a scumbag who also terrorized everyone, they just took it and beat it with a crowd and threw it into the well, and everyone is silent ...
If the government doesn't want to do shit, why the hell should people tolerate it?

Ls here's the trouble, there are "correct" cops who investigate this case according to the law and put the instigators in jail, but it's not worth defiling the well.

Not so much)

There is no body - there is no case (moreover, formally they will lead him on pieces of paper, but it’s also useless - hanging, capercaillie, unrevealed)

If there were Anarchists in this village, there would be no such disgrace. ...

From time immemorial, this is how problems were solved in the villages. and it did help.

And now it will help if you live righteously ....

Actually, about "kill a child" - I did not say. and spoke about science with her fists. to recover, but remember forever.

It seems that the people are simply provoked to a revolution.

Moreover, for a long time and consistently, or really stupid, they don’t care about the state and what they will use it to snatch more for themselves and dump ....

and spoke about science with her fists. to recover, but remember forever.

Well, there were different ways, for example, they were tied to a pillory for a day, come up, spit in your face, throw tomatoes with rotten eggs, some even urinated. there were also shops with rods, barrels of slurry into which the daredevil had to dive. periodically an ax flew overhead ...
there were a lot of useful things, for example, they were tied to a water wheel until you pumped up a large barrel and they let you go and other labor duties, you see, a person will get used to work and respect for others.

An example from life. in the village, a juvenile fool first stole, then got caught stealing. sat down released. almost immediately stabbed the boy, very good, he was not saved. men scumbag caught, talked. he did not understand and attacked the girl in the park. the following: they catch him, beat him to the sound of "uncles, forgive me", they burn down the house, and they tell his family - "if you return, die in the ditches." they did not return. no one has heard from them for 16 years.

You are a fool, my friend, and if not a provocateur, then complete.

it’s just that you won’t expect anything from anarchists except words (oh, sorry, they can still put on an “Anarchy” T-shirt), unlike those men about whom Leto told.

or told Leto.

Yes, I will explain why the kid was not arrested. there were no witnesses, and the mother provided an alibi. although everyone knew that it was him, and he himself did not hide it. was released on a subscription or something like that under the control of a local district police officer. investigation began. further events unfolded in three days. he was arrested after beatings, they said later that he had sat down. The men were not held accountable.

The mutilated body of five-year-old Vanya Volkov was found in a ditch near the cemetery. The investigation did not last long. The tormentor confessed to the murder himself. Vanya's parents could not recover from grief.

Tex ... and now everyone who reads this topic imagines what he would do with this Vova if this happened to his 5 year old child.
Represented?
Here I am about the same.
Then why is this Vova still alive? And I would be FSUs ... what would happen then and how much it would cost me.

unlike those men about whom Leto told

let it be known to you that those same men acted as it should be for a free self-sufficient person when faced with a problem, i.e. they acted like Anarchists, without asking their uncle, the gentleman, the state and the policeman. This is the main property of Anarchism - independence in making decisions and actions.
You, like many others, do not even know what Anarchism is, using the clichés of the Soviet of Deputies helpfully slipped to the people during the class war of the Bolsheviks for hegimony. It's a shame, my friend, it's a shame, it's time to grow up, or at least not to broadcast and propagate nonsense invented by someone, it's time to cook with your head and have your own opinion, but just know the story. the Bolsheviks knew what anarchists were, therefore, without fear, they released them from prisons to say goodbye to the funeral of M.A. Bakunin, all golish under the word of honor. Every single one returned, later many of them were shot by the Bolsheviks.
You have seen many people having a chance to save their lives but not taking it just because they gave their word!!!
These are people of conscience and honor (the Soviet authorities did not need such people) here is an example of anarchist behavior ...
Be ashamed, be ashamed, but I don’t blame you for that, as their opponent V.I. wrote. Ulyanov is a growing pain, which he used to powder his brains.
I wish you to recover as soon as possible and become an independent person.

And no wonder: two years ago, the boy committed a murder, and now he is again suspected of a terrible crime - the rape of a little girl. But what is most terrible: the juvenile recidivist, it seems, will not suffer any punishment.

The other day it became known that the star of the film "Inhabited Island" Vasily Stepanov has been languishing in the 67th Moscow hospital for about a month - the actor has broken his spine. In a hospital bed, he celebrated his 31st birthday. This is due to a tragic accident. In the evening, shortly before the New Year, the artist went to the store. On the way back, he slipped on the steps and fell. Vasily could not get up on his own and lay on the icy concrete until an ambulance arrived for him. It turned out that he had a compression fracture of two vertebrae and a crack in the hip bone. For a long time, doctors did not give any predictions.

We contacted the younger brother of Vasily, and he told us how things are at the moment.

We ourselves do not understand how it is possible to fall like that ... But the doctors have already given a consoling forecast, my brother will walk, - Maxim Stepanov told KP. - But the rehabilitation period is likely to be long, from three to six months. And we, of course, will be grateful for any financial support.

To our question about how soon Vasily will be able to return to work, Maxim bitterly remarked:

Can, if necessary, play the role of a cripple ...

So far, Vasily will undergo rehabilitation, and then he will have to wear a corset for a long time until his back finally comes in order.

The country learned about the handsome macho man in 2008 after the release of Fyodor Bondarchuk's film "Inhabited Island". Vasily so successfully played Maxim Kammerer in the film adaptation of the Strugatskys that everyone was sure that a new superstar of Russian cinema was born. But Stepanov suddenly disappeared from sight for a long time. And when it became known how his life turned out after Bondarchuk's high-profile project, the fans simply refused to believe it. A heartbreaking report appeared in the press that the young actor fell into depression - not the kind when you are just sad and everything is not right, but when you can’t get out of bed for days.

Four years after the release of the film, Vasily actually sat without work, trying to decide what he wants to do next. The fees for shooting in the "Island" quickly melted away. Stepanov complained that all the interviews and photo shoots did not bring any benefit - there were no new proposals from the directors. The family tried with persuasion and reproaches to make the actor go to work, but at that time he did not have enough strength and self-confidence to go to auditions again. He even went to the neurosis clinic on the advice of Vladimir Poglazov, who taught with him at the Shchukin School. But the atmosphere in the hospital turned out to be oppressive for the young actor. In his personal life, he was also unlucky - with his girlfriend, actress Daria Egorova, Vasily broke up.

Once the light nevertheless dawned - Stepanov was offered to star in the series in the title role. But suddenly a blood clot breaks off. The actor was urgently hospitalized and rescued. But he had to refuse filming.

Vasily was not even taken as a salesman in a regular household appliances store, for fear that they would burst into him for autographs. Stepanov decided to put an end to his acting career and began to earn money slowly, where necessary. Relatives borrowed a huge amount - about half a million rubles - to pay Vasily for a good psychiatrist and expensive pills. To help them pay off their debt, he washed trolleybuses at night. But for a long time he did not admit this to his relatives - he simply said that he had found a job, they say, they pay, and it’s good.

And at the end of last year, Vasily began acting for the first time in many years. The actor took part in the historical project of Alexei Pimanov "Tankers". Stepanov was very inspired, shared cards from the shooting on his Instagram. But then the curve of fate again led Stepanov in the wrong direction - he received a fracture of the spine.

Now the actor needs money for medicines and paying for the services of a nurse. Relatives regularly visit Vasily, but they themselves are in cramped financial circumstances, because they still have a debt for his treatment for depression.

ANOTHER OPINION

Ex-bride of the actor: Vasya himself refuses to work in the cinema

We called Stepanov's ex-fiancee, actress Daria Egorova ("Sklifosovsky", "Secrets of the Institute of Noble Maidens", "Traffic Light"). They still communicate with Vasily.

- Daria, why did they stop inviting Vasily to the cinema? Such serious competition?

When we were together, Vasya was a very popular actor. He had many offers from worthy directors. He himself refused them. And now he is invited to act, but he rejects the proposals. Doesn't even read. He just says no, that's all. And then, for some reason, he says everywhere that they forgot about him.

- Why refuses? Don't like scripts?

Vasya explains this by saying that he simply does not want to act in films. Unfortunately, Vasya himself does not know what he wants. Perhaps he has depression. Don't know.

I took care of Vasya's health for five years. I had strong feelings for Stepanov, I went to hospitals with him, took him to psychologists. Today, Vasya's mother has forgotten this - and she blames me for all his troubles ...

Everyone is talking about his depression. Perhaps the reason is different: alcohol, drugs?

No, it's a disease. Doctors diagnosed him with "manic depression" (see "Help" KP ").

- When did you last communicate with Stepanov?

Maria REMIZOVA

HELP "KP"

Manic depression is a severe mental illness. With such an ailment, the patient's state changes dramatically - from unreasonable anxiety to euphoria. The causes of the disease are not fully understood. Scientists suggest that a genetic predisposition is to a greater extent to blame. Although life shocks and traumas can play a fatal role.

For example, Pushkin, Gogol, Van Gogh and Churchill are believed to have suffered from manic depression.

Andrey Malakhov devoted a whole program to the history of Vasily Stepanov, which excited the public so much.

Details of the scandalous story with Vasily Stepanov will be discussed on Channel One in the show “Let them talk” with Andrey Malakhov

On Channel One in the show "Let them talk" discuss the history of the movie star Fyodor Bondarchuk "Inhabited Island" Vasily Stepanov.

Andrei Malakhov invited many famous people who personally know the actor to the studio.

Recall that earlier the media wrote that the young handsome intentionally jumped out from the window of his house and badly crashed.

The tabloids wrote that Stepanov had allegedly suffered from depression for six months and was not the first time he had tried to commit suicide.

A good friend of the actor, socialite Lena Lenin denied the rumors. Lenina said that Stepanov did not try to kill himself, but climbed out the window to get a domestic cat, which jumped onto the visor, but could not resist and slipped off. Stepanov broke his arm and leg, but the doctors, having read the media, returned the actor to the hospital to check his mental state.

The details of the scandalous story will soon be discussed on Channel One in the show “Let them talk” with Andrey Malakhov.
