On its technique, the grouping arranged constant duty in the city. The main article of the group’s income at the initial stage was the extortion of funds from Vorkuta entrepreneurs. The gang existed in conditions of strict competition with other criminal communities actively operating in the polar city, which for the "Ifovsky" posed a real danger.

Many Ifovsky murders committed the so-called socially dangerous way: in broad daylight in the center of Vorkuta, they could blow up a car filled with an explosive device or go to the sports and concert center and publicly release a few clips from a submachine gun into a person’s objectionable person. Members of the group acquired a share of participation in the authorized capital of at least seven large enterprises of Vorkuta.

About twenty small firms were controlled by Ifovsky. In the year in Vorkuta near the entertainment center of Olympus, the Ifovskiye, an entrepreneur Alexander Kaspersky was killed on the head by the blow of iron reinforcement. In March, in Moscow, one of the leaders of the group, Vladimir If and his wife, were killed with sniper shots at the back of his head.

In the same year, the Ifovsky dealt with Alexander Alexandrov. The bandits, changing into the police uniform, stopped the car in which Alexandrov and a friend were traveling. To Azat Shagiliev and Vladimir Alexandrov reached in April of the year. The explosion of Aleksandrov was torn off both legs, Shagiliev received severe injuries. One member of the organized crime group with six shots from a pistol wounded a personal security guard of a businessman, and the other at that time released almost 70 bullets on Haruk from a home-made submachine gun.

Their car was blown up using a distance device. Among the victims of the "Ifovsky" there were several members of their gang. Andrei Grinko experienced several attempts on his life, who, for years, played the role of the Guardian Keeper, the funds of the group. In the year, one of the leaders of the group considered that the former treasurer stole part of the income. In May, on an active member of the group of Konstantin Medvedev, who was in charge of the weapon, personally participating in several murders, an attempt was made.

The unknown released eight bullets into him. Suspicions fell on a member of the group of Alexander Ismagzamov, who often conflict with Medvedev. Ismagzamov was engaged in the spread of drugs in the Vorkuta village of Vorgashor, against which Medvedev spoke violently. In May, under the pretext of paying the “salaries” of Ismagzamov, the gang was invited to the headquarters of the gang on the sixth floor of the central house of everyday life.

When Ismagzamov appeared in the head office, several people immediately attacked him. He was tied up, seized his mouth with tape and placed in a wooden box, in which he was lowered to the first floor, and then loaded into the car. On the outskirts of the village of North Ismagzamov, they strangled, and the corpse was taken out on an all-terrain vehicle in the abandoned village of Halmer-Yu, where they buried in a rock dump.

In the Central House of Life, Ifovsky, similarly dealt with their other “combat comrade” named Kravchuk. He was killed with an iron pipe with a blow to the head, and the corpse was taken by car into a deserted village. A businessman who did not want to pay “Ifovsky” turned to criminal authority for help.Casimir suggested Yuri Kozlov to resolve the issue for 50 thousand dollars.

Casimir was invited to the sixth floor of the house of everyday life. When he came, he was twisted, put in a box. While Casimir was transported by car, Konstantin Medvedev put three bullets from a pistol into it, and Oleg Ifa hit 14 times with a knife. The corpse of the Kazimir was thrown near the Yun-Yaginsky career. In one of the household appliances controlled by Ifovsky, a major shortage was discovered.

Women were explained that they would have to compensate for the shortage. The bandits held the ladies as hostages in the utility room, demanding that relatives bring the amount of shortage - about 3.6 million rubles. The hostages were threatened with physical reprisal, as well as the fact that their sons will be beaten, and if this does not bring the desired result, the sons will be killed.

The bandits found out that the accountant has a foreign car worth more than 1 million rubles and an apartment in Nizhny Novgorod. As a result, for the chief accountant, members of the group received a car and two million rubles in cash, and three episodes of fraud with orphans Gazprom are charged with the head of the department. In the years, members of the group took deception from the former pupils of the Vorkuta boarding house at the underestimated value of the Gazprom OJSC.

The amount of damage from each crime amounted to from 4 million to 7.9 million rubles. The key role in fraud with orphan stocks was assigned to lawyer Vladimir Korostelev, whom the investigation considers an active member of the group since the middle of the X. A former employee of the Korostelov Penitentiary System, retiring, became a practicing lawyer. The Ifa-Kozlov group had a certain circle of lawyers.

In different years, Vladimir Korostelev defended or represented the interests in the courts of eight members of the group. According to the Decree of the Komi government in the year, unclaimed privatization checks of vouchers were distributed between the pupils of orphanages. The checks were invested in the shares of Gazprom OJSC, and upon reaching adulthood, orphans became owners of multimillion -dollar capital.

In the middle of the years, a judicial practice was formed in the republic: having become adults, pupils of boarding houses began to absorb Gazprom shares, transferred to the Government of the Republic of orphanages for pupils. The members of the organized crime group found such graduates of the orphanages, entered their trust, provided temporarily housing, car, borrowed money, and then purchased stocks from them at ten times lowered by prices.

Having received the promotion at the catchy prices, the bandits returned both the apartment and the car, which were temporarily used by former orphanages. Under the psychological pressure of members of the organized crime group, former pupils of boarding schools wrote receipts that there were no complaints about customers. Part of the weapon was stored in the headquarters of the Central House of the Life of Vorkuta.

The weapon also hid in Syktyvkar, in the basements of houses.
