Headlines about escapes from the Russian Federation of well-known deputies often began to sound. First they declare how much they love the Russian people and the Russian land, and then they run away, denying everything and very quickly changing their beliefs. One of these deputies is Voronenkov.

Biography of Denis Nikolaevich Voronenkov before becoming a deputy

Denis was born in 1971 in Gorky. Since birth, he often changed his place of residence, since his father was a military man. The Voronenkovs managed to live in Kyiv, Leningrad, Minsk and Karelia. Denis was not the only child in the family - he had two more brothers and a sister. As the deputy himself said, the pride of the Voronenkov family was his grandfather, Mikhail Nikolaevich, a pilot of the Great Patriotic War, who took the Seelow Heights near Berlin. There is practically no information about Denis's childhood, Voronenkov himself did not particularly like to talk about his life.

Education

In 1988, Denis graduated from the Leningrad Suvorov Military School and entered the Military University of the RF Ministry of Defense. GraduatedUniversity with honors in 1995. At the same time, he studied at Ryazan Yesenin University, and in 1996 Denis received a diploma in law. Also, Voronenkov soon defended his dissertation at the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, and later received the title of associate professor. Denis defended his second dissertation in 2009 to become a doctor of science.

Biography of Deputy Denis Voronenkov

In 2000, Voronenkov was appointed referent of the Unity faction. And already in April 2001, Denis was first detained for receiving a bribe of $10,000 from Trostentsov to represent his interests in the Duma. Also this year, Denis was elected mayor of Narya-Mar. He held this position until 2006.

Already in 2011, Voronenkov became a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation as a member of the Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption and headed the Office of the International Congress of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.

Fame

Like most deputies, Denis gained his fame thanks to his loud statements and numerous scandals. Voronenkov was implicated in such cases as a lobbying scandal, raider takeover, extortion, fights, and even an accusation by a business woman of the murder of her partner.

December 2013 ended with hospitalization for the MP with minor injuries. After some time, it turned out that Voronenkov got into a fight with a former FSB officer in the Courchevel restaurant. Everything did not end with a fight, and the connection between the employeeThe FSB and the deputy acquired more and more bright colors. The press published a letter from Anna Etkina addressed to Yuri Chaika, which stated that Voronenkov and that former employee organized the contract killing of Andrei Burlakov, but everyone quickly forgot about this story.

Lobby scandal

Voronenkov in 2001 became a member of a lobbying scandal. In connection with him, a criminal case was initiated against Denis on the fact of extortion. While still working as a referent, Voronenkov led businessmen to the party chamber for $60,000, telling party representatives that these people had helped with money during the elections, thus securing the support of the chamber. Voronenkov did not stop there, demanding more money, saying that without it there would be no support. Later, the businessmen managed to personally talk to the leaders of the party, and it turned out that the party did not receive any money. The leaders advised me to write a statement. Law enforcement agencies took up this case and gave the businessmen marked banknotes, with which Voronenkov and Novikov were later detained. Both accomplices were charged with extortion. Soon the case was closed for unknown reasons. The prosecutor's office closed the investigation, saying that the money received was the payment of a debt.

Suspicion of raider capture

Almost in all scandals, Voronenkov got away with it, and the press quickly stopped writing about him, but apparently, in this story, Denis really made a big mistake - law enforcement agencies took him up again, and this time very seriously.

In December 2014, the State Duma wasmaterials were sent according to which Voronenkov was a suspect in the case of the raider seizure of a building in the center of Moscow. According to the case file, Voronenkov found a buyer for the mansion with a market value of 127 million rubles, for which he received a reward of $100,000. At that time, the biography of Denis Nikolaevich Voronenkov was no longer transparent, and all suspicions were justified, since he had already been involved in such cases earlier. On April 6, 2015, the State Duma decided to hand over Denis to law enforcement agencies as a defendant. Already in February 2017, a decision was made on his involvement, but it was not possible to detain Denis himself, since he had already fled the country. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation put Voronenkov on the federal and international wanted list. On March 17, the Basmanny Court of Moscow passed a sentence, according to which Voronenkov was arrested in absentia.

Voronenkov's loud statements

Voronenkov became famous in society for his loud statements. So, in 2014, about the change of power in Ukraine, he said that the coup was a well-thought-out plan of people who influenced young people in order to make them hate Russia.

Also in 2016, Voronenkov said that Pokemon Go players are potential spies and terrorists, that the game should be immediately banned on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Private life

The biography of Denis Nikolaevich Voronenkov's personal life does not differ in anything special for our time. Two marriages, one of which ended in divorce.

Voronenkov's first marriageconcluded with Yulia Voronenkova. After the suspicions were raised, discord began in the family. From the marriage, Denis left 2 children, but in order to save the union, this, apparently, was not enough. Their life together lasted long enough, after which Yulia and Denis decided to divorce.

Denis entered into a second marriage in the spring of 2015 with a work colleague Maria Maksakova, a member of the State Duma of the United Russia party. They talked a lot about this marriage, since the chambers in which they were members radically differ in their views on politics, but this did not become a hindrance to them.

Voronenkov himself was not a secretive person, and the photos that he published clearly show that he really loved his family and did everything for their good.

Children of Voronenkov

The biography of the personal life of Denis Voronenkov's children is a hidden topic, it is difficult to find any accurate information on the net, but still it is.

From his first marriage, Denis left two children, the eldest Xenia and the youngest son Nikolai. It is known that Ksenia is engaged in ballroom dancing, several times she became the winner of world championships and continues to develop her talents. Some sources have information that Voronenkov gave his youngest son Nikolai half of a 9-room apartment. At the moment, the children and his first wife live in this apartment.

From his second marriage, Denis left a little son, born in April 2016. The wife's son was named Ivan. Further biography of the children of Denis Voronenkovunknown.

Escape to Ukraine

By the end of 2014, the biography of Maria Maksakova's husband - Denis Voronenkov - was not in the best way. The former ex-deputy was involved as a defendant in the raider seizure case. Realizing that it would be impossible to escape punishment, Voronenkov fled to Ukraine, taking his family with him. They settled in Kyiv, by personal order of President Petro Poroshenko, Denis was given the status of a citizen of Ukraine.

It is rumored that testimony in the Yanukovych case helped such a quick acquisition of citizenship. Voronenkov allegedly confirmed some of the data of Ilya Ponamorev, saying that there are agreements on the military invasion of the Russian Federation into the territory of Donbass. After such statements, Voronenkov was arrested in absentia on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Murder

March 23, 2017, around 11:40, Denis was killed in the center of Kyiv. Accompanied by his bodyguard, Voronenkov left the hotel and was shot. The killer wounded the guard and hit the former ex-deputy 4 times: one bullet hit the neck, one in the stomach and two, mortally, in the head - Voronenkov did not have a chance. The guard managed to wound the killer, but he himself was seriously injured. The task force already at 11:45 went to the place. Soon, Yuriy Lutsenko and Denis's wife arrived at the scene of the murder. Seeing her husband's body, Maria fainted. Voronenkov himself assumed such an outcome of events and even stated in an interview that he could be killed.

Identity of the killer

PavelAlexandrovich Parshov, originally from Sevastopol. Born July 28, 1988. Lived in the Dnieper. He has been on the wanted list since 2011 on the fact of fictitious business and money laundering through it. While on the wanted list, he was mobilized into the National Guard of Ukraine, in 2016 he was fired for violating the terms of the contract. During his service he did not distinguish himself, he was an ordinary soldier. The Ukrainian government failed to confirm whether Pavel was recruited by the Russian special services, which excludes the possibility of statements about the involvement of the Russian Federation.

Later it became known about an accomplice - Yaroslav Levenets. Yaroslav worked as a combat hopak trainer, was a member of Yarosh's "Trident" organization. Like Pavel, he was convicted and later released on parole. In 2014, he violated the terms of his release and was sent to Donbass. Apparently, there he met Paul. But there was another person who gave a ride to Pavel.

Pavel was given a ride by Yaroslav Tarasenko, the former head of the local headquarters of the Right Sector. On June 16, Yaroslav was arrested. According to the investigation, Tarasenko was the driver who brought Parshov to the scene of the murder. The court arrested him for 60 days.

Murder investigation

Almost immediately, Petro Poroshenko said that it was terror against Ukraine from the Russian Federation. The State Duma of the Russian Federation replied that this was a provocation on the part of Ukraine and that the Russian Federation had nothing to do with this.

The police of Ukraine seized the recordings of surveillance cameras and found that the offender fired from a TT pistol. Alsothe attacker was in possession of several identification cards, one of which was issued by the National Guard of Ukraine. Various versions of the murder were put forward: that Voronenkov was eliminated so that he would not testify against Yanukovych, smuggling in the FSB, terror of the Russian Federation in relation to Ukraine, and so on. As it turned out later, the murder was indeed ordered, but not by the special services, but by the ex-husband of Maria Maksakova. Perhaps Maria's ex-husband was seized by banal jealousy or some personal disagreement with Denis. It will be very difficult to find out the exact reason. No matter how trite this version may sound, but even in Ukraine they agreed with it and accepted it. On this sad note, the biography of Denis Voronenkov Nikolaevich ended.
