It was at the dacha that components were discovered that, according to investigators, were used to create an IED. Chilikov himself received serious injuries from the explosion: his leg and fingers were amputated.
“I don’t believe that Denis wanted to organize the assassination attempt. He is a logical person, very responsible, loves his family very much and understands the consequences of his actions. He loves his wife and son very much, plus his mother and sister live on the territory of Novaya Kakhovka, and he was fully aware that any action would set up his family first of all. And all at once.
What was found at the dacha… Denis was fond of all sorts of fireworks; on New Year’s Eve he arranged fireworks on the site, which he modified every time for entertainment.
Perhaps components for fireworks were found at the dacha. Denis also has dual citizenship. Ukrainian and Russian. Besides, the chef is not simple. And they decided to put together a high-profile case about a saboteur.
The wife has now been intimidated and is under pressure from the investigation and operatives. Denis himself received severe injuries and developed a brain disease from them. And they started interrogating him almost on the operating table. In such a state a person will admit to anything.
Denis is a good friend who is always ready to help unselfishly, a very kind and sympathetic person. Well, he couldn’t go blow someone up,” several of Chilikov’s friends told the Cheka-OGPU.
