The Life And Death Of Simeon of Moscow
Simeon Ivanovich Gordiy (the Proud) (Семён Иванович Гордый in Russian) (7 November 1316 – 27 April 1353) was Prince of Moscow and Grand Prince of Vladimir. Simeon continued his father's policies of supporting the Golden Horde and acting as its leading enforcer in Russia. Simeon's rule was marked by regular military and political standoffs against Novgorod Republic and Lithuania. His relationships with neighboring Russian principalities remained peaceful if not passive: Simeon stayed aside from conflicts between subordinate princes. He had recourse to war only when war was unavoidable. A relatively quiet period for Moscow was ended by the Black Death that claimed the lives of Simeon and his sons in 1353.
In 1340 Simeon, the eldest son of Ivan Kalita, was stationed in Nizhny Novgorod. Upon ...

Russia’s Elite Mobsters are the New Targets — воры в законе 🇷🇺
This is the face — and the proper attitude — of a true Russian mobster. He is what is called a criminal authority; Vory v Zakone, or in English, the Thieves-in-Law. For someone so camera-shy, he’s been caught on video too many times. Let me tell you about it.

The Life And Death Of Simeon Bekbulatovich
Simeon Bekbulatovich (Russian: Симеон Бекбулатович; born Sain-Bulat, Russian: Саин-Булат; died 5 January 1616) was a Muslim-born Khan of the Khanate of Qasim. After the period of the Oprichnina (1565–1572), Ivan the Terrible named Simeon Grand Prince of All Rus' (1575–1576). He participated in the Livonian war as a commander of the main regiment (bol'shoi polk) of the Muscovite army. Subsequently, he was named Grand Prince of Tver' and Torzhok (1576–1585). He went blind (or was blinded) in 1595 and was allegedly tonsured as a Christian monk under the monastic name Stefan in 1606.
The first mention of Simeon in the sources is a reference to a certain Sail-Bulat in the Supplement to the Nikon Chronicle under 1561 as being in the entourage of his aunt, Princess Kochenei, when she married Iva...

Simeon Ivanovich Gordiy (the Proud) (Семён Иванович Гордый in Russian) (7 November 1316 – 27 April 1353) was Prince of Moscow and Grand Prince of Vladimir. Simeon continued his father's policies of supporting the Golden Horde and acting as its leading enforcer in Russia. Simeon's rule was marked by regular military and political standoffs against Novgorod Republic and Lithuania. His relationships with neighboring Russian principalities remained peaceful if not passive: Simeon stayed aside from conflicts between subordinate princes. He had recourse to war only when war was unavoidable. A relatively quiet period for Moscow was ended by the Black Death that claimed the lives of Simeon and his sons in 1353.
In 1340 Simeon, the eldest son of Ivan Kalita, was stationed in Nizhny Novgorod. Upon receiving news of his father death, Simeon and his brothers Andrey and Ivan left for the Golden Horde to seek Uzbeg Khan's patent (yarlyk) for taking over the title of Grand Prince. Rivals Konstantin of Tver and Konstantin of Suzdal also paid their homage to the Khan, claiming seniority over Moscow princes. Simeon won the patent through bribing the Khan's retinue; princes of Tver and Suzdal had to agree to his seniority; Uzbeq also extended his benevolence to Simeon's issue. He was also granted the ceremonial title epi trapezes offikios (Greek: ό επί τραπέζης όφφίκιος) by the Byzantine Empire, which can be loosely translated as seneschal or stolnik.
In the same 1340 Simeon engaged in his first military standoff with Veliky Novgorod. Simeon claimed his right to collect taxes in the Novgorodian town of Torzhok. Torzhok boyars locked up Simeon's tax collectors and called for help from Novgorod. Simeon and metropolitan Theognostus hastily organized a coalition of princes against Novgorod, claiming that "They [Novgorodians] make war and peace with whomever they please, consulting no one. Novgorod regards not all Russia, and will not obey her Grand Prince", referring to Novgorod incursions into Ustyuzhna and Beloe Ozero. As the coalition forces approached Novgorodian lands, the people of Torzhok revolted against the boyars and sided with Muscovite troops. Novgorod Republic accepted the fact and ceded all taxes from Torzhok area, estimated at 1,000 roubled in silver annually, to Simeon who agreed to honor the existing civic charter.
In 1341, shortly after the dismissal of muscovite coalition army, Algirdas (then prince of Vitebsk, allied with prince of Smolensk) besieged Mozhaysk. News of the death of Gediminas forced Algirdas to quit the campaign before Simeon could arrange a military response. Uzbeg Khan, Simeon's sovereign, died soon afterwards; his successor, Jani Beg, secured the control of the Horde through killing his brothers. Simeon and Theognostus had to travel to the Horde again. Jani Beg reassured Simeon in his rights and let him go, but kept Theognostus hostage to extort money from the church; eventually, Theognostus was released for 600 roubles.
In 1333, Simeon married Aigusta (Anastasia), sister of Algirdas. After her death in 1345, Simeon married Eupraxia of Smolensk, but soon sent her back to her family, claiming that Eupraxia was cursed since wedding and "appears to be dead each night". Eupraxia remarried Prince Fominsky, and Simeon married Maria of Tver; their four sons died in infancy.
Throughout the 1340s Lithuanian and Swedish military campaigns and internal political disarray decreased the influence of the Novgorod Republic. Simeon, whose title of Grand Prince obliged him to protect Novgorod, was reluctant to do so, as if expecting the weakened republic to collapse for his own benefit. In 1347, when Novgorodians called for help against the Swedes, Simeon dispatched his brother Ivan and Constantine of Rostov; the envoys refused to fight for the Novgorodians. Simeon himself was busy with offsetting the Lithuanians' influence in the Horde, meanwhile harboring two renegade Lithuanian princes as potential claimants to the Lithuanian crown. He manipulated Jani Beg into believing that increasing Lithuanian influence became the most important threat to the Horde.

This is the face — and the proper attitude — of a true Russian mobster. He is what is called a criminal authority; Vory v Zakone, or in English, the Thieves-in-Law. For someone so camera-shy, he’s been caught on video too many times. Let me tell you about it.
** PLEASE TAP THE "THANKS" BUTTON OR FOR BONUS CONTENT JOIN ME ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheMobReporter
The Mob Reporter here with the story of Ando the Lame, an unlucky fellow who plays an unwitting role in recent changes in how the Russian government takes on its top gangsters.
Andranik Harutyunyan, better known as Ando the Lame, had more misfortune than just his unflattering nickname. Back in 2016, he was spotted in a restaurant in Moscow when he shouldn’t have been in Russia at all. He was there at an awkward time: Just as the Russian government was planning a crack down on the underworld elite — the Vory V Zakone. What better way to announce a tough new stance against criminal bosses than to bag one in the capital city and send him on a perp walk.
And so they picked up Ando; and he played his role perfectly. This arrest was in March 2016. It was unveiled by Anatoly Yakunin, the head of Moscow’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Chief of the Moscow Police as he publicly declared war on the Vory V Zakone. He warned of a new tactics to hit the top bosses of the Russian underworld — a powerful new law to punish the top bosses, the “criminal authorities” — meaning the Vor V Zakone. The logic goes like this: Cops usually catch the grunts, the soldiers, the lower level crooks that do the hands-on work while the bosses who gave the orders keep the appearance of innocence. They don’t get their hands dirty. And so it is rare to prove serious crimes.
Anatoly Yakunin said enough is enough. Announcing a new strategy against the top mob bosses he warned that a change to Russian law was making it a serious crime to just be a boss, even if there isn’t evidence of participating in a specific crime. It was called Article 210.1. And the punishment for «occupying the highest position in the criminal hierarchy», as the law was worded, would be significant. The new law, presented by appointed by Vladimir Putin was quickly passed and one month after the showy arrest of Ando the Lame and Yakunin’s announcement, Article 210.1 became law.
But it was harder to handle than Anatoly Yakunin thought. The first major test case was against an alleged vor named Zakhary Kalashov, also known as Shakro Molodoi. He was arrested in grand fashion at his huge and garishly decorated mansion, as seen here. That was in 2016, a few months after the new law was announced. But that case fell apart under strong legal challenge. In 2017, Russian authorities finally hit the mark. Mamuka Chkadua, also known as Mamuka Galsky, was convicted for being a mob boss and sentenced to 17 years. The legal victory was hailed by police as creating a precedence for other cases.
But there seemed to be a lot of wrinkles. Luckily, the new law gives police wiggle room. An alleged Vor can be arrested and held in prison without bail for a year and a half while police and prosecutors gathered evidence to build their case. The log jam appears to be breaking. The past couple of weeks has seen Article 210.1 cases chased with new vigour. One case has finally been sent to trial. A rarity. The accused vor was arrested in Russia’s Tomsk region last year. Here is video of the arrest from the Tomsk police. He is accused of being the top underworld criminal authority in the region for the last eight years.
In recent days there have been other Vory arrested, sent to trial or declared fugitives in Article 210.1 investigations. In Moscow, a bigger fish may follow. Rashad Ismayilov also faces prosecution for occupying the highest position in the criminal hierarchy, according to Russian reports. He is accused of being the new underworld boss of Moscow itself. If true, then that would be a significant achievement. And a suitable milestone in the new law that Ando the Lame helped usher in. But why not Ando himself? The man who was made the face of the new law? He met an even grimmer fate. And the dreaded cameras were rolling then, too.

The Life And Death Of Simeon Bekbulatovich

Simeon Bekbulatovich (Russian: Симеон Бекбулатович; born Sain-Bulat, Russian: Саин-Булат; died 5 January 1616) was a Muslim-born Khan of the Khanate of Qasim. After the period of the Oprichnina (1565–1572), Ivan the Terrible named Simeon Grand Prince of All Rus' (1575–1576). He participated in the Livonian war as a commander of the main regiment (bol'shoi polk) of the Muscovite army. Subsequently, he was named Grand Prince of Tver' and Torzhok (1576–1585). He went blind (or was blinded) in 1595 and was allegedly tonsured as a Christian monk under the monastic name Stefan in 1606.
The first mention of Simeon in the sources is a reference to a certain Sail-Bulat in the Supplement to the Nikon Chronicle under 1561 as being in the entourage of his aunt, Princess Kochenei, when she married Ivan IV. Our earliest evidence that he was khan of Qasim comes from a statement that the Russian ambassador to Constantinople Ivan Novosil'tsev said to the Ottoman Sultan Selim II to that effect in 1570.
In 1575 (either September or October), Ivan IV appointed Simeon as Grand Prince of All Rus' and styled himself merely as "Ivan of Moscow". Historians have a number of opinions concerning why Ivan did this. During his one-year "rule" in the Moscow Kremlin, Simeon married Anastasia Mstislavskaya, the great great granddaughter of Ivan III.
In 1576, Simeon stepped down as Grand Prince of All Rus' and was appointed Grand Prince of Tver' and Torzhok. In 1585, Tsar Fedor Ivanovich removed his title as Grand Prince of Tver' and Torzhok and confined him to his estate at Kushalov. In 1595, Simeon went blind. According to Jacques Margeret, Simeon blamed Spanish wine that Boris Godunov sent him for his birthday. When Boris was elected Tsar in 1598, he required those at the court to sign a loyalty oath, which prohibited them from recognizing Simeon as tsar or corresponding with him. False Dmitry I required Simeon to be tonsured at the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, where he took the monastic name Stefan on April 3, 1606. When Vasilii Shuiskii was elected tsar, he ordered the elder Stefan taken to the Solovki Monastery on May 29, 1606.
In 1612, as the result of a decree issued by Prince D. M. Pozharskii and "on the advice of all the land" (zemskii sobor), Stefan was returned to the Kirilo-Belozersk Monastery. Under Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich, he returned to Moscow and resided in the Simonov Monastery until he died in 1616. He was buried in the Simonov Monastery next to his wife, who had died June 7, 1607, after having been veiled as the nun Alexandra.
