Ivan Klimov is a well-known young boxer, who died tragically on November 23, 2013. But before his murder, there was another significant event, which will be described below.

Career athlete

Professionally engaged in boxing - that's what Ivan Klimov always dreamed of. His biography indicates that he started in the sports club of the city of Kogalym, where his family moved for a while. His first coach was VS Yakovlev. Later Ivan Klimov (whose photos are presented in the article) began to study at the club "Amur" under the leadership of N. S. Makarov. Then the young man graduated from the Specialized Children and Youth School of the Olympic Reserve No. 21 and went to study at the Siberian State University of Physical Education and Sports.

The first glory came to him in 2009, when Klimov Ivan won the heavyweight championship at the Siberian Federal District. A year later, he repeated his success and won bronze in the Russian Spartakiad of Youth.

The most significant and successful in his sporting career was 2011, where for the third time Ivan Klimov became the gold medalist in the Siberian Championship. Then he won bronze in the Russian championship and gold in the tournament "Golden Glove" in Serbia. Thus, he passed the norm for qualification as an international master of sports.

So very rapidly and successfully developed the career of a young and already by that time quite an experienced athlete. There was a new champion - Ivan Klimov. Russia was just beginning to promote his name, but the athlete sharply came on a black streak.

Unexpected turn

Serious troubles began with him on March 3, 2013. He and three of his friends came to rest at nightclub "Angar" in the city of Omsk, closer to midnight. A couple of hours later, a conflict erupted between the local gypsies and the Klimov company on the dance floor, and a massive scuffle began. To the excited crowd, the guards of the establishment immediately ran up and pushed all the brawlers out into the street. The confrontation continued in the courtyard. One of the instigators - the 23-year-old son of the baron of the gypsy diaspora Jan Lebedov - had a lightweight Saiga rifle in his hands.

Then there were tough disassemblies that happened right under the cameras, so the club's security guards did not interfere and gave the young people an opportunity to understand themselves. The action was aggravated by the fact that the guy with the gun became mother and provoked with threats by a drunken friend of Klimov - Stanislav Navatsky. Then this guy, hearing the first shot and sensing a dangerous situation, ran to the entrance steps to take refuge in the clubhouse (on the Internet you can see the video).

Insane with rage Yan Lebedov, unexpectedly even for himself, first fired a rifle into the air, then into the crowd, Ivan Klimov was in trouble there. The boxer did not immediately understand what had happened to him, the bullet ricocheted off the asphalt, fell directly into the groin of Klimov, who immediately fell to the ground. Jan Lebedov, along with his friends after the incident immediately disappeared in the car "Zhiguli-Lada" in an unknown direction.

Recovery period and death

Then Klimov Ivan, wounded, hardly survived due to a large loss of blood. But the healthy body of the athlete coped and recovered, three months later Ivan began training and decided to resume his boxing career again. The nerves were at the limit, he realized that the road to big sport was still in question.

However, on the afternoon of November 23 of the same year, on Dianov Street in the courtyard of the house where his car was parked, an unknown man attacked him, who inflicted two fatal blows to him first to the liver and then to the throat, after which the boxer died.

Eyewitness testimony

There is a possibility that Ivan was first deceived from the house. According to an eyewitness - Gennady Ponomarev, a young man standing near his "Chrysler" and waiting for Klimov to come out, went up to him and hit him with a knife somewhere in the chest area and immediately ran away. The athlete clutched at his chest, fell to his knees and shouted for an ambulance. Almost dying, he managed to dial a friend's phone number and say that he was stabbed. Ivan struggled with his last strength for his life, but when the doctors arrived on the scene, he was already dead.

Angry Rock

On this occasion, a criminal case was opened, the motives for the crime and the identity of the murderer began to be established. Omsk residents themselves did not stand aside and collected 30,000 signatures to appeal to President Vladimir V. Putin asking for personal control of this sensational case.

Representatives of Russian boxing brought condolences to the relatives and friends of the famous athlete. The head coach of the Russian national team Alexander Lebzyak spoke about his ward as a normal, decent, cultured person and a good boxer.

Investigation

Almost a month after the fateful event that took place, on December 12, 2013, the joint work of the investigative bodies gave positive results - police operatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and officers of Interpol in Kyrgyzstan, in Bishkek, detained a certain citizen named Rinat Yusupov, who had forged documents. In fact, it turned out to be a Russian citizen, the same Gypsy Jan Lebedov, born in 1990, who shot on March 3, 2013 in Ivan at the nightclub "Angar" and disappeared from the crime scene. He was already preparing to fly to one of the countries of the European Union, when he was overtaken by the police.

The investigation lasted 9 months, and after the proceedings he was extradited to Russia. In March 2015, a trial was held in Omsk, where Yann Lebedov was sentenced to 4.5 years for deliberate infliction of grievous harm to Ivan Klimov, and compensation was set at 100,000 rubles. The parents of the deceased.

In one case, the alleged investigators figured out, only one question remained open: who killed Ivan Klimov? The murderer continued to search, but suspicions from Jan Lebedov and still are not removed.

mass media

Federal channels periodically discussed the circumstances of the death of an Omsk athlete. On the channel "Russia 1" in the "Live" took part relatives of Lebedov and deceased Klimov. The parents of Ivan Klimov believed that the gypsies washed off their grievances with blood only, and they were just sure that Lebedov was completely guilty in the death of their son.

However, not very pleasant and compromising facts about the athlete began to emerge. The sister of the convict, Angela Shevlyakova, who defended her brother, first publicly in the media stated that in the apartment of Klimov during the search were found illegal drugs. This topic arose when the links of Jan with drug trafficking were mentioned. The sister said that her brother to this business had nothing to do, unlike the athlete. She also claimed that Klimau had been repeatedly prosecuted for fights (everything ended in the reconciliation of the parties, and he did not have a criminal record).

Remuneration

Earlier, the media put forward a version that the attack on the athlete could be a repartition of the Omsk market for the sale of narcotic substances.

Considering the heightened public interest in this resonant case, under his personal control, the governor of the Omsk region, Viktor Nazarov, took it. For providing any valuable information that will shed light on this dark matter and help find the killer, the regional boxing federation, a reward of 1 million rubles was assigned.

Interesting Facts

The investigation considered the version that Lebedev could have been involved in the killing of Klimov, he even passed a lie detector test, and by results it became clear that he knows something, but hides it. However, you can not use this as evidence - it's just a help to investigators.

An anonymous source told the investigation, which was conducted by Komsomolskaya Pravda, that the conflict in the club was provoked by the company Klimova. When the gypsies began to beat, they tried to jump out into any cracks, and on the street it came to shooting (it is clear that Lebedov is to blame, no one denies it).

But that's interesting: after the incident, the Swans themselves wanted to reconcile with Klimov and offered him compensation of 500 thousand rubles. But this amount did not suit Ivan, and he asked first 2 million, then - 5 million, and then all 15 million rubles. Jan, of course, refused to pay him such a sum. At this the auction was over, but Klimov entered into the taste and told Lebedov that he would deal with him differently, after which a real round-up of the gypsies began, the tough guys approached people with gypsy appearance and beat them, one even broke his hand.

The case almost immediately took a national turn, since the Gypsy fired at a Russian, allegedly defending from Gypsies either a defenseless girl, or a guy in a vest.

The local gypsy diaspora was greatly agitated and began to ask Lebedov to immediately solve his questions. Therefore, it is possible that Lebedov could send a man with a knife to Klimov.

Afterword

In fact, there is nothing heroic and iridescent here. Of course, it's hard for parents to believe in it. But Klimov Ivan did not work anywhere, he lived in someone else's apartment, he bought his prestigious car on credit.

There is information that Ivan and his friends-sportsmen criminal circles used as a bouncer, for example, they beat debts from dishonest businessmen and then received their commissions. However, these are all just assumptions, the real authorities should find out the real truth.
