The criminal authority Ruzlyaev, nicknamed "Dima Bolshoi", for a long time kept Togliatti in fear. His people were engaged in robberies, contract killings, extortion. Without dividing the sphere of influence with other gangs, Ruzlyaev’s group got involved in the struggle for influence. The impudent leader of the “Ruzlyaevskys” did not compromise, for which he paid with his life: he was shot in his own car.
Dmitry Alexandrovich Ruzlyaev: facts from a biography
The future leader of the criminal group was born in Stavropol on November 5, 1963. Dmitry grew up in a dysfunctional family. His mother worked as a cleaner, and his father, as journalist Alexei Sidorov established, drank heavily.
The situation in the family contributed to the development of asocial personality. Education interested the guy in the last turn. Having matured, Ruzlyaev became a strong, physically strong, courageous to impudence and absolutely fearless young man. He was not at all afraid of blood and was prone to criminal behavior. A dodgy mind, the ability to think strategically and a love of money subsequently allowed Ruzlyaev to advance to first positions in the criminal environment.
Dark career of criminal authority
By the end of the 80s, Ruzlyaev earned a living in Togliatti, becoming a driver with one of the businessmen. Its owner managed to establish the work of "thimbles", from which he received a decent income. Ruzlyaev also dreamed of a well-fed life and sought to join the criminal business. But the friendship with the owner was not long. When the police became interested in the "businessman", Ruzlyaev went over to the side of the more authoritative criminal leader Alexander Maslov.
In those years, Maslov was the recognized leader of one of the most powerful groups in Togliatti - Volgovskaya. Ruzlyaev managed to enter into full confidence in the leader of the criminal community. Soon he became a full member of the group.
The Volgovskys subjugated all the main commercial structures of the city. But after a couple of years, they had strong competitors. It was difficult for two gangs to get along on one territory. In November 1992, Maslov was killed. Ruzlyaev took his place. And the Volgovskaya group itself became known as the Ruzlyaevskaya group.
