Alexander Shestun, specially for the Cheka-OGPU and Rucriminal.info:
"My 88-year-old mother, Zoya Mikhailovna Semenova, and her 89-year-old husband, Viktor Petrovich, were evicted from their only home onto the street on November 19, 2025, without even being given a room in a communal apartment.
They immediately installed a new lock on the front door.
Her house in Serpukhov was confiscated as part of my criminal case, along with all the property of 23 friends and relatives.
My minor children were evicted, like all the other dispossessed, more than two years ago, but Zoya Mikhailovna barricaded herself in her home, defying threats of criminal prosecution and pension cancellation: "Let me die in my own home."
They dragged it out for another two years, appealing to every possible authority. During this time, my mother suffered a massive stroke but survived, despite the authorities. All this time, civilians in uniform circled like vultures.
Finally, their patience snapped...
The Prosecutor General's Office issued a ruling for the immediate eviction of the elderly couple, following a complaint from the Federal Property Management Agency, which had previously neglected to list the more spacious and expensive house where my four children were born. Without security, the cottage was looted by looters; now it's worthless and fit only for demolition.
Zoya Mikhailovna paid her utility bills on time, maintained her house, and offered to rent it out (social housing)—people live in unprivatized apartments, after all. But the rulers' primary goal is to punish disobedient people as hard as possible, as a warning to everyone, rather than to profit from the treasury.
The most expensive commercial properties confiscated in the "Shestun Case" were transferred free of charge by Rosimushchestvo to Umar Kremlev (Lutfulloev), a native of Tajikistan favored by the authorities. They can do it when they need it...
Now my mother is forced to wander with her husband and dog, while the confiscated plot housed an orchard, a vegetable garden, and a greenhouse. Overcoming their infirmity, they planted, weeded, watered, harvested, and stored winter provisions in the cellar.
To end their lives in a strange corner is a sad fate for such deserving people.
Third World countries build housing for the homeless, while the world's largest oil and gas power, with its spiritual bonds, breeds them.
Zoya Mikhailovna graduated from a girls' high school with honors and from the institute with honors. During her studies, she worked as the secretary of the Komsomol organization of the Printing Factory.
During the war, Serpukhov was a frontline town. My mother's family didn't always make it to a bomb shelter in time and often hid from Nazi planes in a pit in the garden. One of the explosions slightly tilted the house.
They ate nettles and potato peelings from the factory cafeteria for the command staff—kavardashki—to keep from starving. After the war, their house was used to house German prisoners who were paving Serpukhov's streets with cobblestones.
My mother worked her entire life at a military plant and at Mosgrazhdanproekt, holding senior engineering positions, but everything was taken from her, like a parasite.
It's hard to imagine the humiliation Zoya Mikhailovna suffered at the end of her life at the hands of a state steeped in traditional values.
When I learned this terrible news, I cried like a child in despair. The Nazis couldn't destroy the family nest, but our government has turned labor veterans into homeless people.
Friends! Please congratulate Zoya Mikhailovna on her 89th birthday on December 27th under my social media posts. Everything will definitely be passed on to her."
