According to investigators, Valery Polovinkin and the former director of the Vsevolozhsk Municipal Budgetary Institution “Ritual Services” Igor Evtishenkov systematically took bribes for patronage of funeral companies controlled by Sergei Mikhailov (better known under the name Miskarev or simply “Broiler”). Between them they counted 6 million rubles. Two episodes.
In February 2021, criminal case No. 1-12 (2022) under Part 6 of Art. 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation was transferred to court, the trial is still ongoing.
As the Cheka-OGPU found out, Polovinkin and Mikhailov “Broiler” are not only criminal partners, but also long-time friends who were connected by several decades of friendship.
“Broiler” comes from the Malyshevskaya organized crime group. 
And after 40 years of faithful friendship and profitable cooperation, “Broiler” hands over to law enforcement officers a video recording he has from two years ago (2018), in which Polovinkin receives an envelope containing, allegedly, a bribe.
The trial in the bribery case has been going on for more than 4 years, and of course the time Polovinkin spent in a pre-trial detention center (more than two years) and in the trial, the ruined political career, was not easy for him.
And the question rightly arises – what could have happened between friends, since one decided to set the other up so harshly?
According to the majority, the stumbling block was the activities of Broiler.
The lawlessness of his group in the cemeteries of the Vsevolozhsk region at that time had long gone beyond the bounds of reason. Clients and employees were intimidated by the bandits of Magomed Abdulaev “Magic”, who to this day provides these services, but to the new “owner of the cemeteries” Roman Ikizli.
But even during the time of “Broiler”, cemetery clients were literally held hostage by bandits – nothing has changed until now, but then the Administration of the Vsevolozhsk District decided to resist and created a specialized municipal budgetary institution “Ritual Services” in order to somehow streamline the processes.
This certainly interfered with Broiler’s activities and allegedly at that moment he came for support to his friend Polovinkin, the deputy head of the Vsevolozhsk administration, where he received a decisive refusal according to Polovinkin, and a tariff for cooperation according to Broiler.
Then the conflict develops, at first Polovinkin uses law enforcement resources to cool the ardor of “Broiler”, but the latter cleverly seizes the initiative.
