The name of Alexander Solonik became the legend of the criminal world of the 90s. Killer committed several dozen high-profile killings and escaped from custody three times. Thanks to his special way of shooting, he received the nickname "Macedonian".
early years
Sasha was born in the city of Kurgan in 1960. Father worked in a locomotive depot, mother worked in medicine. After serving military service, he became interested in wrestling and shooting sports. The young man began his career in the patrol service of the city. Then for the first time he thought about getting a special education, but he did not have to finish his studies at the police school. After his dismissal from the organs, he got a job as a worker in the Kurgan cemetery. It was there that he met future "colleagues" from the Kurgan organized crime group. All this series of circumstances predetermined the further fate of Alexander.
Killer career
In 1987, the court first appointed Solonik a prison term for rape. Right in the hall where the verdict was announced, under the guise of farewell to his wife, he pushed the guards away and fled. After a month and a half, the fugitive was detained in Tyumen and a new term was appointed. But he was not going to serve it to the end and after serving a couple of years he made an escape using the prison sewage system. Two months later, Alexander committed the first murder. The victim was the head of a local criminal group.
Since 1990, the killer settled in Orekhovo-Zuevo near Moscow. He went to the capital as for work, prepared and carried out orders to eliminate competitors. Then in Moscow there was a record high crime rate, the number of murders exceeded 2000 per year. "Sasha of Macedon" was considered the best specialist in this field, several "authorities" perished from his bullets every week. The most notorious crimes were the elimination of the Bauman OPG leaders Valery Dlugach and Vladislav Wanner, as well as the death of Viktor Nikiforov, the adopted son of the famous Jap.
In the life of Solonik there were two passions. The first big love was a weapon. He could talk about him for hours, with inspiration. He knew the technical characteristics of each, and even brought home a machine to adjust to the necessary parameters for himself. In his apartment, the arsenal occupied an entire office. The killer's second great weakness was female. To impress the girl, he could easily spend several thousand dollars in one evening. Women answered him in return. I must say that a stormy personal life led to the fact that Alexander created a family three times, he had a daughter and a son.
Arrest and Escape
Solonik was detained in 1994. When he was arrested, he showed no resistance, and when he entered the building, unexpectedly took out a Glock and shot four law enforcement officers at point-blank range. The seventeen-shot Austrian pistol was his favorite weapon. During the return fire, Alexander was wounded, this time he was unable to hide. He was kept in Sailor's Silence, where he confessed to two dozen crimes; in total, almost thirty criminal episodes appeared in the investigation. Solonik feared for his life and conceived another escape. Earlier, no one had managed to leave the famous pre-trial detention center. This time, Alexander had an assistant - the warden of the isolation ward, according to the case file, specially introduced by the killer’s friends to release him. Together they climbed to the roof of the building, and then, using climbing equipment, left the protected area.
