As Yugopolis was informed in the press service of the law enforcement agency, the investigation of the criminal case initiated on the fact of the death of seven children aged from one to 10 years as a result of a fire in an honest household in the village of Kholmskaya is ongoing.

During the investigation, two parents were charged with committing a crime under part 3 of article 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (inflicting death by negligence on two or more persons).

Currently, the issue of choosing preventive measures against the accused is being considered, a 52-year-old man has been detained. This is about Valeria Denisenko, who on October 13 took part in Andrey Malakhov's talk show "Let them talk."

The fire occurred in the village of Kholmskaya, Abinsky district, Krasnodar Territory late in the evening on October 8. After localizing the fire, rescuers, and some time later, three more dead children were found.

According to the Investigative Committee of the ICR of the Russian Federation for the Krasnodar Territory, adults on the night of October 9, they purchased alcoholic drinks in one of the shops of the village, bottles of which were found in their car. The parents decided to return home only when they froze - the air temperature in the village of Kholmskaya on the night of October 9 was about zero.

In addition, the experts found that the source of ignition was inside the house. The version of the parents of the dead children about the arson was not confirmed.

Parents said that the house was heated with a gas boiler converted to solid fuel (wood). But the investigators found out that in fact the house was heated with a wood-burning stove, which was installed in the room where the fire started.

Thus, according to the investigation, the death of children in the fire was the result of improper performance of their duties by parents.

In addition, after the tragedy, the elder brother of the dead kids accused the mother of the tragedy. A 16-year-old teenager told how his aunt was engaged in his upbringing from the age of three months. At this time, his mother, despite numerous pregnancies, abused alcohol.

In 2012, a justice of the peace fined a mother of many children for child abuse - a woman and forced him to eat cigarette butts.

Could the tragic death of seven children in Kholmskaya have been prevented? - this topic is devoted to the author's column of the editor-in-chief of "Yugopolis" Valentina Artyukhina published on the portal.

During the fire, the children were alone in the house. Where at that moment there were adults - parents and their friends who came to visit on October 8 - the investigation finds out. A criminal case has been opened on the fact of the death of children in the Abinsk region.

Children tried to escape

On October 8, at about 11:30 p.m., residents of the village of Kholmskaya called the Ministry of Emergency Situations: a private adobe house caught fire on Gogol Street. A few minutes later, three fire crews arrived on the scene. By the time they appeared, fire had engulfed about 60 square meters of housing. The flames were extinguished only by one in the morning, and the rescuers began to clear the rubble.

First they found the bodies of four children, and after a while three more. The body of one of the girls was found under a closet, and one of the boys was lying on the bed, covered with rags. Apparently, the children tried to escape - as best they could.

One of the first on the scene was a relative of the injured family. He ran into the burning house and tried to pull the guys out. Neighbors say that he immediately saw the children, who were either unconscious or already dead. One of the girls, eight-year-old Dasha, he took out into the street. But he could not bring him back to life, and he himself received burns. At the moment, the man is hospitalized in the Abinsk regional hospital.

According to the press service of the Investigative Committee of the ICR for the Krasnodar Territory, according to preliminary data, the cause of death of the kids was carbon monoxide poisoning and combustion products.

Where were the adults?

A large family lived in the house on Gogol Street: two parents and five children. A few hours before the fire on October 8, guests came to them godfathers with their two children. But after a while, all the adults left somewhere. What were they doing at this time? Why didn't anyone stay with the kids? There are no answers to these questions. At the time of publication of the text, all the defendants in the case are still under interrogation by the investigator.

The investigative department for the Abinsk district of the regional administration of the ICR opened a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under part 3 of article 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - causing death by negligence to two or more persons.

It is difficult to name the cause of the fire. The examination of this fact will last a month, and the criminal case was opened only a few hours ago.

Did the mother of the dead children mock her son?

Was the affected family considered well? The answer to this question is ambiguous.

The administration of the Abinsk district declined to comment, citing the secrecy of the investigation. However, the press service of the representative of the Commissioner for Children's Rights of the Russian Federation in the Krasnodar Territory (Tatiana Kovaleva is now working at the scene) reported that the large family was registered with the social protection authorities in the category of difficult life situation. The family received all additional measures of social support.

Meanwhile, soon after the tragedy, some media reported that the mistress of the house, the mother of five dead kids, has an older son. A 16-year-old teenager lives with his grandmother at the other end of the village, which is why he was not at his mother's house on the night of the fire.

According to RIA Novosti, three years ago a woman was convicted under Art. 156 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Failure to fulfill the obligations of raising a minor." In the courtroom, the defendant admitted that for several months she mocked her 13-year-old son, beat him with a rubber hose and forced him to eat cigarette butts. The Magistrate's Court sentenced her to a fine of 5,000 rubles.

Investigators find out whether the parents properly performed their duties, whether the family needed assistance in the maintenance and upbringing of children.

The case is under the control of Pavel Astakhov

October 10 was declared a day of mourning in the Abinsk region: state flags will be flown at half mast and all entertainment events cancelled. The administration of the municipality will allocate funds for the funeral of the dead children.

The tragedy received a wide all-Russian response. Pavel Astakhov, the Ombudsman for Children in the Russian Federation, has already arrived in the Abinsk region and is conducting his own independent investigation. He announced this on his microblog on Twitter:

“Once again, the issue of leaving children alone without parental supervision is acute. The tragedy must not be repeated!

Death of the seventh child

This woman's name was Marya, I remember well her dark blue sundress and hair as white as linen. Talking about her misfortune, she did not cry, and only in her crazy eyes could one understand how she was suffering. All her children died before reaching the age of two, and when she gave birth to the seventh child, her husband said to Marya: “If this child also dies, I will drive you away. I need an heir, a son, and you, apparently, have a damned womb. Marya does not remember anyone cursing her, but her children really died two, three months before their second birthday.

Having heard about my grandmother, the woman asked her husband for leave and came to us. After putting her to bed, my grandmother called me into her room and began to reason. She always reasoned out loud so that I could hear all her thoughts and decisions. Lowering her voice, she said: “And she can lose this child, here we need the grass that doesn’t feel like wind, but it should be taken from under the feet of the blind, I didn’t do this, but my mother taught me this. Tomorrow morning I will send Glafira for the blind. God willing, everything will work out, because if Marya loses her child, then her mind will be damaged.” Supporting her cheek with her hand, the grandmother thought deeply, and behind the partition Marya tossed and turned heavily in her sleep and groaned. In the morning of the next day, Glasha, grandmother's helper, brought a blind woman to us.

"Anna! Grandma told her. “I can help one unfortunate woman avert death from her child. But for that, I need you to walk barefoot on the grass. I will read a prayer, and you go. You will hurt your leg, and I will take from under your bloody leg what will stop the death of Mary's family. Of course, you can refuse, but there is not much time left before the child's two years old, and I will still have time to take the annual commemoration, so, my love, you decide.

Anna agreed, and we went for the nechu-wind grass. Grandfather Arkhip drove us. When we arrived, it was already getting dark, but my grandmother knew where this grass grows. Arkhip remained sitting on the cart, while my grandmother and I took Anna by the hand and went to the right place. Finally we got there, Anya took off her shoes and walked across the grass. She walked around in the same place where my grandmother put her. I stood nearby and heard my grandmother read the incantation words:

The Lord will hear my prayer

He will send his holy retinue to help me.

Oh you holy great miracle workers,

Martyrs and holy fathers,

Nifont and Maroth, Cyprian, Justinia,

Conon of Isauria, Dmitry Rostovsky,

Pray to God for a perishing soul,

Angels, archangels come down

to the Lord God from me,

Slaves of Evdokia, bow down.

The Lord God took the land from under his heels,

He threw her to the four corners of the world,

He gave his God's word to his disciples,

Go to all four corners of the world - go,

Who asks for the sake of my name - help,

Holy miracle workers from God,

Reverend Fathers and Martyrs,

There are dark spirits, they roam, they fly,

Souls are taken before time.

You find them, you forbid them,

Enter into the nechu-wind,

Strengthen the body and soul of baby Matthew,

May he live to a ripe old age

And before God's age will not die.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Now, forever and forever and ever.

Amen.

Anna stomped on the grass, tingling her feet on pebbles and branches, and her grandmother read and read this prayer. Finally, she took the grass from under the blind woman's leg, on which Anina's blood was, and we silently drove to the house.

At home, she dried the grass in the oven, having specially melted the oven for this. Already in the morning, Marya, taking the grass, went to her child. She was ordered to bathe the child with this herb. And after many years, a woman and a boy came to visit us. They were Marya and her son Matvey.

27. Death of the body, death of the mind When we observe the mind with momentary awareness, we see how one state of mind arises with its own tendencies, so to speak, with its own personality, with its own mood, with its own associations of thoughts; and we see how it
