Yevgeny Nagorny

Yevgeny Olegovich Nagorny (; born 26 June 1972) is a Ukrainian-born serial killer, who organized a car repair service in which he killed the vehicle owners in order to sell their cars.

Early life Yevgeny Nagorny was born on 26 June 1972, in the Kharkiv Oblast. After graduation, he moved to Moscow, where he went to college. After studying for a year, he was drafted into the army by the early 1990s. After completing his service in the army, he returned to Moscow, at which time he was reinstated at the institute and continued his studies. However, due to the difficult socio-economic situation in the country and problems with future employment, Nagorny was forced to quit school and find a job. He mastered the mechanic profession and soon decided to go into business, opening the AutoLux service centre in a hangar rented by him on the territory of one of the military units on the Projected Drive.

However, things did not go well for the company: there was not enough money to either purchase spare parts or to rent. And soon in the hangar one customer's expensive Jeep burned down. Creditors and the owner of the Jeep began to threaten Nagorny, and he soon came up with a simple scheme: to kill the owners of expensive cars, find them through newspaper ads, and then sell the new cars. At the trial, where, among others, members of the Solntsevskaya Bratva were present, he behaved defiantly, standing with his back to the victims' relatives. When the judge announced the verdict, the gangsters shouted at Nagorny: "We will bury you alive!".

Yevgeny Nagorny is currently serving his sentence at the Black Dolphin Prison.

Riddles from the investigation Some questions remain unanswered, as few people believed that the murders were committed solely by Nagorny and Stavitsky. Incidentally, Nagorny said this himself at his trial: "I fulfilled the wishes of my clients – influential people and are still respected by me." But who these "clients" were, remains unknown. In his testimony, Stavitsky mentioned that Nagorny was recording client data in a special notebook, but he could not find where he kept it. It is possible that each car was assigned by criminals in a specific order.
