      The Yekaterinburg police have sent to court a case regarding the attack on a famous Soviet actor, reported the press secretary of the regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Valery Gorelykh.

      Investigators from the Krasnouralsk police department have completed the investigation of the high-profile criminal case, in which the victim is the well-known Soviet actor Vyacheslav Voskresensky, who played the lead role in the film "Finist - the Clear Falcon," made in 1975, said Valery Gorelykh.

      The resonant crime was committed by two "homegrown gangsters" in the victim's apartment in Krasnouralsk. In addition to robbing the actor, one of the detainees is also responsible for a series of other crimes.

      "The criminals knocked on the door of the elderly man's home, and when he opened it, they immediately beat him. From the sudden strong blow, the grandfather fell," Colonel Gorelykh said. "The bandits began to demand money. The actor's wife, seeing the ongoing crime, demanded that the brazen visitors immediately leave, but her words were ignored. As a result, the robbers made off with a sum of 109,000 rubles."

      "After successfully expropriating the money, the local homegrown 'gangsters' Derbenev and Valeev went to the capital of the Middle Urals to relieve their 'stress' and, as they say, to enjoy life in style. However, the hunters for someone else's good only enjoyed the good life for a few days," he added.

      All this time, since the fall of 2025, the two detainees had been in custody—at the SIZO-3 in Nizhny Tagil. They confessed and expressed remorse for their actions, as well as asked for forgiveness from the robbery victim and even assured that they were ready to compensate for the financial and moral damage caused.

      The criminal case, initiated by the territorial police department under part 3 of article 162 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Robbery committed with illegal entry into a dwelling—editor's note Uralweb.ru), consists of 5 volumes. It has already been sent to court. The accused face a sentence of 7 to 12 years.

      "The case was brought to a logical conclusion by experienced investigator of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Major of Justice Anastasia Golovina, with the support of a group of operatives from the criminal investigation department led by Senior Lieutenant of Police Sergey Solovyov," Colonel Gorelykh noted. "Vyacheslav Voskresensky, upon learning that the police had caught his offenders and placed them in a cell, sincerely thanked the representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for their good work."
