Ermolov Vyacheslav Evgenevich (an Elephant): photo, biography

What associations often arise at the mention of “dashing” 90s? First and foremost people think of the rampant crime, racketeering, lawlessness, and the education of a huge number of criminal gangs. And this is no coincidence, because in the 90s Russia faced a wave of widespread criminal gangs, the leaders of many of which have become simple “come from the people”.

Gangs

The Most well-known and violent gang that emerged in the 80-90-years of the gang are the following:

• Solntsevskaya group which was kept at Bay businessmen and ordinary residents of Moscow. Pretty quickly the impact of this criminal group has spread to other cities and even in some foreign countries.
• Orekhovskaya OPG – the main enemy of the Solntsevo, which in scale and effect, she did not yield.
• Volgovskoe gang that emerged on the territory of Samara region.
• Tambov group, “in charge" of St. Petersburg and is actively involved in racketeering, extortion and of involvement in a bloody showdown.
• Slonovsky OPG – the best-known Ryazan gang, which in a short period of time spread far beyond the borders of the field.

OPG Slonovsky

It is considered one of the most violent and largest groups that has ever existed on the territory of Russia. There was this gang in Ryazan in 1991, and its founders were Nikolai Maksimov, nicknamed Max and Vyacheslav Yermolov named Jumbo.

Max and Elephant were old friends and in the midst of mayhem going on then in the country, decided not to miss chance to earn good money. By the way, Maksimov Nikolay at the time was the personal driver of the Deputy Prosecutor of the Ryazan Vyacheslav Yermolov-a taxi driver.

Grouping under the leadership of the above persons initially “covered” thimblerigger. However, soon the gang began to specialize in fraud in the sale and purchase of vehicles.

Pretty soon the Elephant rallied around him some small criminal gangs (each of which consisted of about 100 people). Every so called “sub” was engaged in a specific area of criminal activity – someone engaged in racketeering, someone was in charge of the gambling business or the automotive market. All of these small groups were part of Slonovski OPG.

Nicknamed Elephant

Ermolov Vyacheslav Evgenievich was born in 1962 in Ryazan. Not having received higher education and some profession, he engaged in petty jobs and later became “taksovat”. Continued financial instability led him to think about the creation of a gang that would by hard physical strength “earn” a lot of money. While the Yermolov called sportsman impossible: he has always been tall and impressive weight. In its fullness, he later got the nickname Elephant.

Created by Yermolov and his buddy Maximov in the late 80-ies of the group originally was called Prezentasiya (in honor of the eponymous café, where the citizens loved to spend time). However, after the murder Maksimov Vyacheslav Yermolov became the sole head of the gang and renamed it in his honor on Slonovsky.

Personal characteristics

“Elephant” has always differed special cruelty, both in relation to competitors and in relations with their “clients”. Inside the criminal group he was able to build a clear discipline and subordination. His orders and decisions were not discussed and were binding on all members of organized crime groups. For the slightest offense Yermolov would severely punish, so his credibility in the eyes of members of the group was obvious.

Competitors described the Elephant as a competent leader and quite intelligent man. Many noted that it when you achieve a certain goal thought through every eventuality and always have a clear plan of action. Vyacheslav Yermolov is cohesive in addressing issues and any means to achieve their objectives.

Criminal activity Elephant

In Addition to the racket, since 1993 Slonovsky group began to actively engage in the creation of the so-called financial pyramids. Thus, only the first year of such criminal activities of “Elephant” and his team was able to gather from the residents of the Ryazan region more than 17 billion rubles.

Increasingly, Vyacheslav Yermolov began to give orders about eliminating that is murdering their competitors. By the way, to negotiate peace with the “Elephant” it turned out rare. Being a man of violent and greedy, he did not like and did not want to share the money with anyone. So the only “correct”, in his opinion, the solution in such situations is the elimination of objectionable people.

OPG Domination

Addressed to representatives Slonovski groups and for the implementation of the assassination (since the OPG had a large number of professional snipers). Not "disdain" gang members and rape of young residents of Ryazan. While their victims they intimidated in such a way that the latter is not addressed in law enforcement agencies.

Actively developed Elephant in the group money-laundering, proceeds of crime, extortion, fraud (including with the post-credit notices), murder not only of competitors but of people, not wanting to be under “roof” Slonovski gang.

Gangster “war”

Slonovsky group under the guidance of Yermolov, sought to dominate. Therefore, the special role of Vyacheslav Yermolov was paid to the elimination of other criminal gangs that existed in Ryazan.

In the 90-ies, along with Slonovski active and large-scale organized crime groups in Ryazan was Ajrapetova and Arkhipovskiy groups. Them Elephant waged a real war.

In the Spring of 1993 for the next "arrow" (between slonevskii and Ajrapetovym) last brutally beat Elephant. This he could not forgive. Ermolov and his gang staged a real hunt for Airapetova members of the gang, having used some of the raids, which killed more than 10 members of the specified group. However, the main purpose Yermolov was the murder of the leader of the gang – Airapetov (which subsequently had to move to Moscow, where he continued to lead his gang).

Ultimately, the continuous onslaught Slonovski OPG group authority Airapetov has lost its former power.

After this, the Elephant began for OPG, the authority of which was Alexander Arkhipov. In the winter of 1995 by order of Yermolov specified authority was killed. Arkhipovskiy gang ceased to exist.

It is Worth saying that the leader Airapetova people Yermolov two years later still found in Moscow and perpetrated violence on him. So, in the territory of the Ryazan region, by the end of 1995 were only Slonovsky group. He Yermolov became solely “edit” in Ryazan the underworld.

Major crimes

Vyacheslav Yermolov (Elephant) after elimination of all competition has become the Central figure in the criminal world of Ryazan. It was his group began to obey without exception, markets, factories, farms and firms of the city.

Slonovsky OPG literally ‘swam’ money. However, Yermolov this was not enough. In early September 1996, he staged the kidnapping of a businessman hodjieva for subsequent redemption. To the surprise of the Elephant, the offense to the end was not brought, as 6 members of his group who took part in the kidnapping of a businessman, was detained by law enforcement officers.

During interrogations, they confessed not only in the kidnapping hodjieva, but in committing more than 20 murders.

Law enforcement agencies of the Ryazan seriously Slonevsky group, and in October of the same year, was arrested almost all regular killers gang.

In 2000, the Ryazan regional court considered a sensational case Slonovski group, in which 25 members of the gang were sentenced to imprisonment. All were proven 86 committing murders the members of this gang.

Fate

Immediately after the arrests of the leader of the gang – Vyacheslav Yermolov (Elephant), biography which demonstrates the selfishness and vanity, did not save his "subordinates”, and hastily left Ryazan, and later even moved abroad. By the way, to date, the Elephant is in Federal search. According to some, he lives in Europe, Russia did not arrive.

Together with the authority of a Bishop in Federal search was announced about 30 active members of the gang.

Those representatives Slonovski groupings which in 90-e has appeared in court, were sentenced to 10 to 25 years of imprisonment. Thus, part of the gang Slonovski to date continues to be in prison.
