The monument to Pavel Sheremet in Kiev, opened in fourth anniversary of death of the journalist. The memorial was established near the site of the car bomb, driven by Pavel Sheremet was July 20, 2016. The national police of Ukraine completed pre-trial investigation of the crime, but the evidence submitted by investigators do not believe many politicians, diplomats and journalists.In search of motivepower Sheremet died on the way to work, after work installed under the bottom of his car an explosive device. The explosion occurred in the center of Kiev on crossing of streets of Ivan Franko and Bogdan Khmelnitsky. The time of detonation of a car was recorded by surveillance cameras, recordings from which were immediately handed over to the police. Other cameras installed in the courtyard of the house where he lived journalist— has recorded strange activity the night before the explosion. The man and the woman deliberately approached the car Pavel Sheremet and attached something to the bottom of the car.The footage was also transferred to the investigative group, which in accordance with the decree of the then President Petro Poroshenko included representatives of police, prosecution, security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the U.S. Federal Bureau of investigation. The investigation soon established that under the vehicle exploded a device assembled from the elements of antipersonnel mines and electronic detonators. Power Packed with RDX device was about 500 g in a trotyl equivalent. Beyond this and the publication of several versions of the murder — a personal dislike, an attempt to destabilize the situation in the country, professional activity of the deceased or his civil wife Olena Prytula, the name of which was decorated blown up by a car, long time did not come.The first breakthrough in the investigation was announced only in December 2019, approximately six months after the inauguration of the new President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. Mr. Zelensky personally participated in the briefing of security officers on 12 December, during which it was announced that the result was released on the suspects in the murder of Pavel Sheremet musician and commando-volunteer Andrei Antonenko, aka the Riffmaster, military nurse Jan Dugar and surgeon Julia Kuzmenko, who also took part in the fighting in the Donbass. Initially, the investigation was said about the fact that these three people themselves planned and organized the attack, customers of murder of the journalist was not at all, and crime suspects went, “inspired by the ultra-nationalist ideas and cultivating the greatness of the Aryan race”.In the end, by the time of referral to court (this happened a few weeks ago), investigators have removed from it all UPR��inania about nationalist ideas as the main motive of the crime. In the final version of the case says nothing of the intention with resonant murder to destabilize the situation in the country. To destabilize in the interests of certain customers, in which official documents pass as “unidentified persons”.The Director of the communications Department of the Ministry of internal Affairs of Ukraine Artem Shevchenko in private correspondence with a former press Secretary of police regiment “Dnepr-1” Vasilisa Mazarchuk (the correspondence was published by the Mrs. Makarchuk) in February this year hinted that the murder of the costs of the SBU. It should be noted that the relationship between the two power structures was never particularly warm, and in addition, Mr Shevchenko Pavel Sheremet was a personal conflict: in 2013, Artem Shevchenko headed the TV channel TVI, forcing the old leaders and part of the team to leave their posts, and then Pavel Sheremet accused him of forcible takeover of media. Last week it is official — in a conversation with journalists Mr. Shevchenko noted that customers of murder to be found in Russia. “This is a crime committed against a citizen of Russia, a foreigner who visited the country-an aggressor and directly a month before his death had there contact. This, in our view, could significantly affect the motive of this murder”,— said the Director of the communications Department of the Ministry of interior.The journalists of the project “Classtwo.Nfo” conducted its own investigation and found out that on the eve of the explosion of the car behind the house Pavel Sheremet was following a certain Igor Ustimenko, first served in power structures. Journalists speculated that he might be involved in the explosion. Only after that Mr. Ustimenko was summoned for questioning. According to its results, the investigators reported only that questioned did serve in the SBU, but in the spring of 2014 he resigned for health reasons.A former employee of the administration of fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych Andriy Portnov in his Telegram channel wrote that the responsibility for the death of the journalist should bear Petro Poroshenko. Colleagues of the murdered told that a crime can stand the special services of Belarus or Russia — countries in which Pavel Sheremet worked before moving to Kiev.But sent to court the materials of the investigation no specific mention of the customers is not murder. Lawyers point out that none of the submitted the evidence is not absolute: the wiretapping of telephone conversations, there is no unequivocal evidence that their members are preparing an attempt on the video cameras impossible to make out facial features of people, vodivshihsya under the vehicle, in addition, each aware of thisdetails on supported an alibi: their family or colleagues contend that on the night of the laying of the explosive device or in the morning, at the time of the explosion, the suspects were at home or at work. Even found Mr. Antonenko in the apartment Mina is identical, the details of which were used to create the device blew up the car of the journalist, it turned out — and this is confirmed by experts have long emasculated.”No one in this investigation does not believe”In any case, the consistency of the arguments of the investigation will have to check out the court which shall proceed to the consideration of the case after the August 14 deadline given to lawyers for the suspects acquaintance with the case materials. This trial promises to be highly resonant, as at the stage of pre-trial investigation in support of the detained was going rallies across the Ukraine, the courts where they were brought for extension of the arrest was piketirovanijah people who consider the police evidence is inadequate for sending people to prison (in prison are always two suspects, a third — Yana Dugar under house arrest). The country had an informal Association known as the “I believe” demanding the immediate release of the arrested or to provide convincing evidence of their guilt.Among those who do not believe in the guilt of suspects, the ex-President of Petro Poroshenko. “It undermines the credibility of the investigation. No one in this investigation does not believe. And when talking about what someone wants to assign blame in order to make another point out this barbarism is totally unacceptable,” said Poroshenko at the end of June, the radio station “Trident”, adding that the real evidence of guilt of the detainees was not presented.The fourth anniversary of the death of Pavel Sheremet to doubt the official findings of the investigation was joined by U.S. diplomats, which, incidentally, annually attend mourning rallies in memory of the journalist. “We join the Ukrainians, who continue to demand a thorough impartial and credible investigation that will bring justice and establish those who ordered and carried out the murder,”— said in a statement the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, dedicated to the mournful date.Honored the memory of journalist in the day of his death and President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. “He stood for the values of democracy, rights and freedoms of the individual. First of all, the citizen’s right to freedom of opinion and expression. And responsibilities of power to be honest, transparent and accountable to citizens. He could never take away freedom so the customers decided to take a life. His daring murder is a loss for all independent media and journalists. It is also a crime a shame for Ukraine”,— said in a statement released by the office of the President statement of the President. Mr. Zelensky the statement also stressed that the society needs to be responsible for the offense suffered real murderers whose guilt is fully proved.Parliamentary party “the Voice” criticized and incumbent, and his predecessor, Recalling that they both promised to do everything possible to ensure that responsible of a crime are punished. “Four years ago in the center of Kiev killed journalist Pavel Sheremet. During this time, the country has had presidents who promised to find and punish the murderers, but did not change the result — it is not. How long to look guilty and put the innocent?” — appears in the statement of the party.In the place of death of the journalist of Ukrainian officials in the current year.

Of course, I am very sad that in four years we do not know the answer to the question who did it. But I’m sure sooner or later we will know it,”— said at the unveiling of Sevgili Musayev, the chief editor of “Ukrainian truth”, which cooperated for a long time Pavel Sheremet.Matthew Shimanov, Kiewitt next
