In the spring of 1989, I went to the Aelita Award in Sverdlovsk. (I was 17 y. o. then.) That year, 700 people from all over the USSR gathered for the convention. There I saw a number of stars of Russian science fiction. That year, the Readers' Choice Award for Aelita participants was given to Kir Bulychev (1934-2003). In the evening, a film based on Kir Bulychev's story "The Abduction of the Sorcerer" was shown. I got an autograph from Kir Bulychev for a book I bought there - a collection of stories about Alice.
I know something about Kir Bulychev that many do not know. I know that Igor Vsevolodovich had offenders who coveted his property. Mozheiko was a big collector: hussar caps, guards helmets, medals, coins…. Foreign ones too, by the way… His fees for mass reprints, apparently, allowed him to buy this. Robbers stuck to these artifacts.
In time, this will be officially written about in the Russian Federation. Therefore, I will not mention details and names here. Not one of the self-proclaimed "friends" of K. Bulychev is capable of publicly hinting at this. He was afraid of bandits (life in Moscow was unsafe because of them, and there was no protection from them); he was beaten up several times, they literally turned out his pockets…
One guy from the pop-scene took Mozheiko's hat. The same guy [Dima Malikov] took my rabbit hat when I was in the second grade at school; many people in Moscow know this thief.
The same people [the Shevyakov-Prokhorov organized crime group] were also involved in the attack on Arkady Strugatsky. Who of the current "friends" of the Strugatskys would dare to say that the bandits punched Arkady Natanovich in the face, etc.? They stole coins from him – silver and a couple of gold chervonets, right in an album from the shelf, and also stole his car. Lev Leshchenko knows about this. Andrei Shevyakov – an acquaintance of "Leshch" since the 1970s – wanted to steal Arkady Strugatsky's sheepskin coat.
In general, during the raids, these bandits stole not only valuables (gold, coins), but also clothes and shoes.
Kir Bulychev also collected artifacts of the 3rd Reich. They were stolen from him first of all by this neo-Nazi group – in particular, a Nazi dagger. Among the robbers, Dima Malikov and D. Strakhov are noteworthy. Nikita Mikhalkov knows about this robbery.
Kir Bulychev has long been fed up with Dima Malikov. The fact is that in the 1970s, the writer – to his own misfortune – met Y. Malikov and "Samotsvety". From there, the conflict grew. Dima Malikov – a well-known patient – pestered everyone he could with robberies (once Dima stole 60 thousand Soviet (with Lenin) rubles from his own father).
