It is known that the pilot Chkalov left a serious legacy to his descendants – the opportunity to live in the center of Moscow, have a substantial allowance, a personal driver and visit a summer dacha in Serebryany Bor. The surname has always helped to move briskly through life, tapping with a fist on the chest “we are the Chkalovs!” – study at prestigious universities, the opportunity to move in high circles and make connections, numerous trips to the USA. By the way, the Chkalovs have strong and long-standing ties with the Americans; their families have flown to the United States more than once and have always spoken enthusiastically about the support of Western friends and how they honor the memory of the pilot, unlike the current authorities. Igor Chkalov wrote on his social network that he flies there “for work.” It is unclear what job the unemployed young man had in mind.
Status means a lot to Chkalov’s relatives – at the genetic level they are accustomed to everything free: gifts, attention, special status and treatment. Already the fourth generation is enjoying the benefits of “special status” and is ready to fight for it to the end. Not so long ago, the dacha issue arose for the Chkalovs quite acutely – there were more and more relatives, but they did not want to pay and had nothing with which to pay. And then the relatives turned on the “family” raiding method to the fullest – the first trials began more than 10 years ago.
The first victims of the Chkalovs in the struggle for property were… the Chkalovs. How did I find out? Rucriminal.infofamilies do not get along, we discovered the fact that relatives were suing each other over an apartment in the center of Moscow. The Chkalovs also repeatedly and unsuccessfully sued the Moscow authorities. They tried unsuccessfully to prove their ownership of the dacha in Bor. Accompanying expensive lawyers does not always lead to success, especially in the absence of legal grounds like the Chkalovs.
The next victims of the relatives were the media. It is unknown what documents were presented to journalists, but the facts of numerous court decisions seemed to be kept silent. Instead of success and a victorious war in the media, the attempt to speculate on the ancestor was a fiasco – the descendants only attracted unnecessary attention to themselves and, as a result of journalistic investigations, the family closet was opened, from which skeletons fell. The skeletons looked different, but they were connected by greed, adultery and hypocrisy. For many years, the Chkalovs exploited the image of the noble descendants of the hero, and this means high connections and monetization of the fame of the people’s favorite. Ignoring the institution of property rights, court decisions and the total self-confidence of family raiders suggest the presence of a patron and high connections. The great-grandson of the pilot himself speaks about this in his interviews, talking about the support from employees of the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Supreme Court.
Raiders with a stellar surname continue to invent more and more new ways to influence the courts and the public: a failed deputy, a relative of the Hero, Igor Chkalov, convinced the pilot’s daughter, 83-year-old Olga Valerievna, to blackmail the country’s government… with the ashes of the hero, who rests in the Kremlin wall. The message was read between the lines: if you don’t give up the dacha, we’ll take the ashes. However, unexpectedly for the raiders, this “creative” move had the opposite effect – the public regarded Chkalova’s letter as a cynical attempt to sell her father’s ashes at a higher price. Some media outlets even noted that this is nothing more than unprecedented pressure on the judicial system.
It is curious how this illustrative story of the Chkalov “family raiders” attack on property rights will develop further. Who knows, perhaps we will witness restitution “in the Soviet way,” and then “in the Tsarist way.”
