According to court documents that were in our possession, the lawyers of Kolya and the acting head of the penal colony, where Pavlinov was serving his sentence, filed a petition with the district court to release him from punishment due to a serious illness. They referred to the corresponding decision of the medical commission. The prosecutor’s office was against it, insisting that Pavlinov’s prescribed treatment could be provided to the medical unit of the Federal Penitentiary Service, and also that the prisoner “moves independently, takes care of himself, is always neat and does not need constant care.”
As a result, the district court agreed with the arguments of the prosecutor’s office and refused to release Kolya. The decision was appealed and a higher authority decided that Pavlinov needed treatment in a specialized institution and, for health reasons, could not be kept in a penal colony. As a result, a new decision was made – to release Pavlinov for health reasons. 
Let us remind you that in 2021, the Serpukhov City Court sentenced the leader of the Chekhov organized crime group Nikolai Pavlinov (Pavlin) and his accomplices. Nikolai Pavlinov received the maximum sentence – 17 years in prison. A year younger than his assistant is the head of department No. 4 of the branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Federal Cadastral Chamber of the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography” in the Moscow Region Oleg Bolshakov. The rest of the accused were given sentences ranging from 7 to 15 years. According to investigators, the convicts illegally acquired rights to plots, buildings and structures that are the property of the Russian Federation, as well as the Chekhov district of the Moscow region, with a total value of about 130 million rubles. Behind this criminal case and Pavlin’s imprisonment lies an extremely interesting mafia story. Here is an eyewitness account of the events in the “gangster Moscow region”: “There is the leader of the Podolsk organized crime group Sergei Lalakin, aka Luchok, who seems to have been legalized and is even said to be personally acquainted with the governor Andrei Vorobyov. His closest connections in law enforcement (those that appeared in our history): Filatov (GUUR), Igor Bolloev (ex-deputy head of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Moscow Region), Stanislav Bolloev (now deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow). Luchka’s sphere of influence has always included the Chekhov district of Moscow Region. Most of the heads of this region were considered his proteges. The criminal leader of this area, Nikolai Pavlinov (Kolya, Pavlin), was considered a close connection of Luchka in the Chekhov district. True, they are different. In the criminal environment, Luchok is considered almost a business. And Kolya was considered the correct “authority” who lives solely according to concepts. For Kolya, all commercial projects were led by Oleg Strekalov (Zico). “Then, in short, Zico sold the shopping center for $55 million, Luchok and Bolloev demanded a share of $3 million. Ziko did not want to share. He was almost imprisoned. He fled the Russian Federation “The debt was imposed on Pavlin. The money did not come. Pavlin sat down. They began to pin the debt on everyone connected with Pavlin and Ziko.”
As the Cheka-OGPU said, now everything is not as good for Luchka as in 2021; all his assets and territories near Moscow were “squeezed out” by Umar Kremlev. Looking for support, Lalakin even contacted Pavlin in 2023 and offered to release him “through the SVO.” But Kolya refused, suspecting that “with the SVO” at Luchka’s suggestion he might not return, and he refused. He found another way to free himself.
