We kept wondering where the “businessman” and son of the Prosecutor General, Artyom Chaika, would spend the New Year holidays: in Russia or in Switzerland, his new homeland?
Quite by chance, thanks to federal judge Novikov from Krasnodar Krai, it emerged that Chaika spent at least Christmas in Russia, in Sochi. We also learned that the entire prosecutorial cover network tied to the Tsapok gang has not lost its nerve, has not gone underground, and continues to behave like masters of the universe.
So, on Christmas night, federal judge Novikov comes to the Church of the Transfiguration in Khosta and discovers that the Krasnodar Krai prosecutor Korzhinek is arriving there, accompanied by police and security guards—the very same man who personally closed the criminal case against Tsapok after he attacked a police officer—along with Prosecutor General’s son Artyom Chaika.
Novikov may be a judge, but the authorities strongly dislike him because he once exposed judges’ land schemes. He was even jailed for a time in a pre-trial detention center (SIZO), but they were later forced not only to release him, but to reinstate him as well. So Korzhinek and Chaika were not at all pleased to see such a fellow parishioner and simply forbade him from filming them—or even from being in the church at all.
It’s hard to believe a story like this, but here is Novikov himself describing what happened:

The implication, apparently, is that Chaika, who did business with the Tsapoks, came to see the Krasnodar prosecutor Korzhinek—also a great friend of the Tsapoks—to oversee the implementation of a plan to destroy all evidence proving this remarkable partnership. We already saw the first part of it when Krasnodar police announced that the signatures of the wives of senior Prosecutor General’s Office officials in the incorporation documents, alongside the wives of Tsapok gang members, had been “forged by unknown persons”.
They talked, discussed things, had a few drinks. And while they were at it, they stopped by to pray too—with a police motorcade and security detail, as one does.
One more reminder to us: they will neither be ashamed nor keep their heads down. We cannot simply forget about the “Chaika case”. The mafia must be fought, and there is no one to do it but us.
