Denis Voronenkov

Denis Nikolaevich Voronenkov is a Russian politician, a former deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation of the VI convocation. Wide and scandalous fame came to Voronenkov after his escape to Ukraine, where he abruptly changed his political views, compared Russia with Nazi Germany, surprisingly quickly received Ukrainian citizenship and testified against the former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych.

Denis Voronenkov was born in Gorky (today Nizhny Novgorod) in April 1971. According to some sources, the family left Gorky when Denis was one year old, according to others - when he was 7 years old. Father was a military man, which explains the frequent change of places of residence of the Voronenkovs. They managed to live in Karelia, Minsk, Kiev and Leningrad.

In addition to Denis Voronenkov, three more children have grown up in the family - two brothers and a sister. According to the ex-deputy, his grandfather Nikolai Mikhailovich was a pilot in the Great Patriotic War and took the Seelow Heights near Berlin, which the Voronenkov family was very proud of.

There is no information about Voronenkov's childhood years. It is known that in 1988 he graduated from the Suvorov School in Leningrad and continued his education at the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, from which he graduated in 1995 with honors. At the same time, Denis Voronenkov studied at the Ryazan University named after S. A. Yesenin, and a year later another diploma was added to the diploma of a military university - in a legal specialty.

In 1999, Denis Voronenkov defended his dissertation at the Moscow Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, and 3 years later the Russian Ministry of Education awarded him the title of Associate Professor.

In 2009, the young scientist defended his second dissertation with the aim of obtaining a Doctor of Law degree.

According to Voronenkov, a striking event in his career was the military service, which he did in the RF Military Prosecutor's Office. Denis Voronenkov started out as an investigator, then quickly (from 1995 to 1999) went through the career stages to the position of deputy prosecutor.

In 2000, the lawyer came to the State Duma of the Russian Federation: he was appointed senior referent of the apparatus of the "Unity" faction. A year later, Denis Voronenkov first comes to the attention of law enforcement agencies: in April 2001, he was detained while receiving a bribe of $ 10,000 from businessman Yevgeny Trostentsov, allegedly for lobbying his interests in the Duma, but in the middle of the summer of the same year the case was closed.

In the same year, Denis Voronenkov worked as an advisor to the general director of the judicial department at the Supreme Court of Russia.

2001 turned out to be incredibly eventful for Voronenkov: he was elected deputy mayor of the city of Naryan-Mar, in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. He worked in this position until 2006 inclusive.

Denis Nikolayevich's career developed in an ascending order: he worked as Deputy Head of the Administration of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and dealt with land use issues, but soon received a promotion and became the first deputy head of the Okrug administration. He was entrusted with resolving working issues with the government of the Russian Federation and the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.

From 2004 to 2007, Denis Voronenkov (according to unconfirmed reports in the rank of colonel) served under General Alexander Bulbov in the Federal Service, which controls drug trafficking. Voronenkov later said that he was under intense pressure when a major corruption case known as the Three Whales was being investigated. But General Bulbov denied this information, saying that Denis Voronenkov was not included in the list of those 12 people who were investigating the sensational case.

In 2011, Denis Nikolaevich Voronenkov was elected a deputy of the State Duma of the VI convocation and became a member of the Security and Anti-Corruption Committee. In addition, Voronenkov headed the Office of the International Congress of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.

According to the website of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Denis Voronenkov was a member of the Communist Party and in 2013 was a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. It was the communists who nominated him to the auditor of the Accounting Chamber, but the nomination was unsuccessful.

In December 2013, a State Duma deputy was hospitalized with minor injuries. Soon scandalous details of the reason for Voronenkov's admission to the hospital surfaced. As it turned out, he had a fight in the Courchevel restaurant with a former FSB officer. But even then, the scandals around the deputy's name did not subside: information was leaked to the press about a letter from Anna Etkina (an entrepreneur who was convicted in absentia in Russia) sent by her to Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika. In the letter, the businesswoman accused Voronenkov and the FSB officer he had beaten for organizing the murder of her business partner Andrei Burlakov.

Denis Voronenkov is also known for several loud statements and resonant initiatives. In the winter of 2014, he commented on the forceful change of power in neighboring Ukraine, stating:

They started talking about the State Duma deputy again when in the summer of 2016 he turned to the heads of the FSB and the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications to ban the distribution of the mobile game Pokemon Go in the Russian Federation. According to Denis Nikolaevich, users of this game are potential spies and terrorists.

In 2016, Denis Voronenkov became a candidate for the State Duma of the 7th convocation in a single-mandate constituency No. 129 in the Nizhny Novgorod region, but lost the election.

In general, the State Duma deputy became a co-author of almost 20 bills and the author of more than 90 publications and monographs.

The first wife of Voronenkov was Yulia Aleksandrovna Voronenkova. In a marriage with this woman, two children were born: in 2000, a daughter, Ksenia, was born, and in 2009, a son, Nikolai.

Ksenia Voronenkova in the winter of 2015 became the winner of the junior ballroom dancing championship of the capital, and in October of the same year she managed to win the world championship. Ksyusha is engaged in the Moscow dance and sports club "Latin Quarter".

Nikolai Voronenkov in the spring of 2009 received a generous gift from his father - a half of a 9-room apartment with an area of ​​almost half a thousand square meters in the center of the capital, on Tverskaya Street. According to some reports, the second half of this housing belongs to Denis Voronenkov's business colleague and co-owner of an offshore company in the British Virgin Islands, Alexander Plotnikov.

In the spring of 2015, Denis Voronenkov's personal life was discussed in connection with his new marriage: he married an opera diva and his colleague, State Duma deputy from the United Russia party Maria Maksakova, daughter of the famous Russian actress Lyudmila Maksakova. The ideological differences of the two political parties to which the newlyweds belonged did not become an obstacle to building a new family.

It is noteworthy that in the fall of 2015, Maria Maksakova appeared in public with her common-law husband, jeweler Jamil Aliyev. Maksakova, like Voronenkov, has a son and a daughter from previous marriages.

The wedding of two deputies was attended by the former speaker of the State Duma Sergei Naryshkin.

In April 2016, Maria Maksakova gave birth to Denis Voronenkov's son Ivan. According to unconfirmed rumors, the spouse is pregnant again.

At the end of 2014, the Moscow administration of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation sent a request to the State Duma to deprive Denis Voronenkov of his parliamentary immunity. The reason was the opening of a criminal case on the raider seizure of a mansion in the center of the capital, in which the deputy was allegedly involved. As stated in the case file, Denis Voronenkov found a buyer for a house on Mezhdunarodnaya Street, for which he received an advance payment of $ 100,000.

In April 2015, the TFR sent documents to the General Prosecutor's Office, according to which Denis Voronenkov was supposed to lose his immunity.

The decree on the involvement of the deputy as an accused of committing crimes was issued on February 15, 2017. The charges were brought under two articles of the RF Criminal Code. But at this point Denis Voronenkov was already out of the reach of Russian investigators: in October 2016, the fugitive deputy, taking his family, left for Ukraine and settled in Kiev. In December of the same year, he received citizenship (this speed was due to the personal decree of Petro Poroshenko).

They say that Voronenkov was able to obtain citizenship without delay, having testified in the case of Viktor Yanukovych. Allegedly, the ex-deputy took the initiative and contacted the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko. Denis Voronenkov partially confirmed the earlier testimony of a former colleague of Ilya Ponomarev, announcing the alleged agreements between Yanukovych and the top leadership of the Russian Federation on a possible military invasion.

Voronenkov said that he refused a Russian passport and left the country due to persecution by the FSB. According to the ex-deputy, he did not vote for the annexation of Crimea to Russia - his card voted without his knowledge.

In February 2016, the TFR put the ex-deputy on the wanted list, and in early March 2017, the Basmanny Court of the capital arrested Denis Voronenkov in absentia.

On March 23, 2017 it became known that Denis Voronenkov was killed in the center of the capital of Ukraine. He, together with the security guard, left the building of the Premier Palace Hotel and was shot. The killer shot at the fugitive deputy and wounded the guard, but the latter managed to wound the killer.

Several bullets from a TT pistol became the cause of Denis Voronenkov's death. Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko said that Voronenkov received one bullet in the neck, two in the head and one in the stomach. 

Shortly before his death, Voronenkov gave his last interview to the Gordon newspaper, in which he suggested that he could be killed, "like Bandera."
