So now the puzzle of
three murders of activists Michael Zhiznevsky, Sergei Nigoyanon and Roman Senyk
on Kyiv's barricades is opened. As expected, they were killed by
bullets fired by the militia 'Berkut' Firstly I made a mistake assuming that
the 'Berkut' used hunting bullets. That's not completely right. 'Berkut' was
shooting at people with large special lethal bullets with carbide core designed
to stop cars by breaking and destroying the engine.
And now I'm going to prove it.
Let me give some background: On the 22nd of January, following an militia special forces of Ukraine "Berkut" attack on the barricades on Hrushevskogo street in the center of Kyiv the bodies of two victims with gunshot wounds were found: Michael Zhiznevsky and Sergei Nigoyan. Later it was reported that another person with gunshot wounds by name Roman Senyk was delivered to a hospital in critical condition. He had an amputated arm and had lost about three liters of blood. He had several operations but the doctors could not to save his life and three days later he died. The ammunition which killed Sergei Nigoyan was identified at once. It was a 9 gram lead pellet from a shotgun shell which was removed from his body. It's clear.
[1]
[3]
The case of Michael Zhiznevsky's murder is harder because the bullet that pierced through him was never found. It was definitely not a sniper bullet because the entry hole is too big for a bullet's hole from a large-caliber sniper rifle 12.7 mm.
[2]
Comparing these facts I came to the conclusion that militiamen 'Berkut' instead of traumatic (rubber or plastic) ammunition began to use hunting ammunition – the front track of the impression found on the frame at the caf? perfectly matches with the coil-type piercing brass 12 caliber bullet designed for hunting large animals and inflicted heavy damage .
But it turned out to be as follows.
[4]
[Special 12 gauge ammo is designed to forcefully stop vehicles by damaging components and mechanisms. The ammo should be used with a 12-caliber rifle with a chamber not less than 70 mm long (Fort-500 or equivalent). The ammo consists of a swept bullet with carbide arrowhead core placed in a plastic container. Firing a bullet at the engine block of a vehicle causes damage which leads to the vehicle stopping.]
[4]
[Special 12 gauge ammo is
designed to break locks and hinges on doors when shot from a distance of
a few centimeters. The ammo should be used with a 12-caliber rifle with
a chamber not less than 70 mm long (Fort-500 or equivalent). When fired
at an angle of 30-45 degrees to a wooden door panel, the ballistic
point effectively destroys the lock, hinges and door panel, while the
bullet collapses into dust and does not cause any blockage.]
[5] [6]
If the bullet that killed Michael Zhiznevsky could not be found, the bullet from the body of Roman Senyk was extracted and it has the same reel with 12-th of caliber. Here is the photo X-ray taken during the operation
I contacted the person who published the pictures on the net (he asked not to be named and to not name the person who took the pictures) who confirmed that the photo was made by a member of the surgical team, who tried to save Roman Senyk and whose own hand withdrew from Roman's body a bullet - and this is exactly the bullet which was photographed immediately after Roman's surgery on the handling table of the nurse.
As you can see, this is the type of ammunition that was demonstrated at the exhibition. And the bullet just came from the other side, from which militiamen 'Berkut' came and shot from guns. And you can see that it is the type of ammunition which was extracted from the body of Roman Senyk.
Next. Michael Zhiznevsky was shot through his chest almost in front but the bullet came out of the back below the entry level. Accordingly the shot was from above.
Bullet extracted from the body of Roman Senyk also entered him in the shoulder at an angle on top of the front of his body and slightly to the right, as seen clearly from the photo of bullet's entry, and shattered his arm and stuck in his lung. So at least in two cases out of three shots were from above.
Moreover, on the left in the view from the protesters' side is Mariinsky park, which is where militia Berkut are stationed and where they take position in the cover of the burnt screen and are often shooting and it is located just on the hill

If we take as a starting point the specifications of Blondeau bullets, for which the weight for 12 caliber is more than 30 grams, it can be assumed that the weight of the Ukrainian bullet for special use is about the same. Accordingly the powder charge should be stronger than in the case of a rubber bullet. The blow-back for a special bullet must be very strong. That is exactly we can see in the video
[7]
Comparison:
0:55-1:05 - the blow-back from traumatic bullets' shots
1:35 - the blow-back from metal bullet's shot
I do not know what this soldier was shooting, but it clearly was not a rubber bullet. Perhaps here we actually see the time of the murder of one of the three activists.
So we have a logical question: why would militia use hunting cartridges and car stopping bullets instead of making a request to the snipers who surely were planted on the roofs in the government quarter, who were already seen in the previous events, and who were just waiting for the command to open fire?
[8]
Who could give such an order to apply non-standard ammunition? And why?
The answer lies in the fact that no order had been given. We are dealing with pure abuse of authority. Sincere speaking with "Berkut" shooters is impossible, they shoot at anything that moves in their direction. By analyzing video of them, the beating and sadistic humiliation of the people they've overpowered, the way they behave and what they say when it is possible to approach them for a short distance, I see that these people do not just take orders, they hate protesters. For what? I do not know. But one of the shooters shouted to another who tried to prevent him from shooting a man: "Get away! Who are you protecting?. So they see in the protesters something different. Nazis, Bandera followers or agents of the State Department, traitors - I do not know what they

In November 26, 2013 the Interior Ministry signed contracts for the purchase of 6,730 cartridges of special 12 caliber bullets for the destruction of car engines with the same characteristics as in 2012 but at 42 UAH per cartridge. Bidder's production (12 caliber ammo for destruction car engines) must be adopted by order of the Interior Ministry of Ukraine or by the protocol of IM Commission and meet the following technical requirements:
1. Cartridges are designed for firing with shotgun. Weight of bullet from 30 to 40 gram
2. Shell material - brass
3. Core material - steel
4. 12 caliber cartridge
5. Effective range of use from 10 to 15 meters
6. Length of cartridge - 70 mm
7. Piercing thickness of steel sheet - 5 mm for ensuring destruction of car engine
8. Speed of a bullet (at a distance of 5 m from the muzzle of the barrel) -
from 380 to 450 m/s

[2]
Then, after an attack by Berkut, an
impression of a bullet impacting a metal frame at a cafe on the street was
found. The impression is similar to the configuration of the rubber bullets
used by militia, but of a lesser length although with the same caliber. The
bullet flew from the militia's side.
Comparing these facts I came to the conclusion that militiamen 'Berkut' instead of traumatic (rubber or plastic) ammunition began to use hunting ammunition – the front track of the impression found on the frame at the caf? perfectly matches with the coil-type piercing brass 12 caliber bullet designed for hunting large animals and inflicted heavy damage .
But it turned out to be as follows.
Back in 2009, at
an arms fair, special ammo was demonstrated at the booth of the MIA (Ministry
of Internal Affairs) of Ukraine. Capable of penetrating a fourth grade
protective vest or 5 mm sheet steel. The bullet was of the same coil type,
namely, twelve-gauge. What is important – it has a special hard core, with an
arrowhead protruding from the body of the bullet. This is an important
distinction to remember. It was developed by Ukrainian
state plant 'Spetstechnika' of the Ministry of Interior.
[4][Special 12 gauge ammo is designed to forcefully stop vehicles by damaging components and mechanisms. The ammo should be used with a 12-caliber rifle with a chamber not less than 70 mm long (Fort-500 or equivalent). The ammo consists of a swept bullet with carbide arrowhead core placed in a plastic container. Firing a bullet at the engine block of a vehicle causes damage which leads to the vehicle stopping.]
[4]
Every subsequent exhibition in Kyiv at the
stand of the Ministry of Interior of Ukraine one could see the same showpieces. Here are photos from the
exhibition "Arms and security" in 2012 in Kyiv at the stand of the
Ministry of Interior of Ukraine. Notice that it was shown together with
the 'Fort-500' rifle which Ukrainian militia used against protestors on
Hrushevskogo Street in January 2014.
[5] [6]If the bullet that killed Michael Zhiznevsky could not be found, the bullet from the body of Roman Senyk was extracted and it has the same reel with 12-th of caliber. Here is the photo X-ray taken during the operation
Due to an unfortunate camera angle it was
firstly identified as a bullet Blondeau (so named after the creator) or any of
the other hunting bullets of coil type - Rubeykina, Buble, etc.
But then there was a photo from a different
angle, where there is a clearly visible arrowhead from the carbide core. That
is not a hunting bullet but a military bullet. Furthermore, it is special
purpose ammunition.
I contacted the person who published the pictures on the net (he asked not to be named and to not name the person who took the pictures) who confirmed that the photo was made by a member of the surgical team, who tried to save Roman Senyk and whose own hand withdrew from Roman's body a bullet - and this is exactly the bullet which was photographed immediately after Roman's surgery on the handling table of the nurse.
Next step. On the net is a picture of the
same type of bullet which was found the 22-th of January at Hrushevskogo Street
after an attack of "Berkut". Here it is.
I stated that bullet's track found on the
metal frame at the cafe was made by this bullet. Not the same but namely with
this one. This is evident by the damages which were left on the bullet and on
the table. The bullet struck at a forty-five degree angle by its head and
that's is why it is the most flattened head portion and that's why the trail at
the front has a trapezoidal shape and then the whole body and tail.
As you can see, this is the type of ammunition that was demonstrated at the exhibition. And the bullet just came from the other side, from which militiamen 'Berkut' came and shot from guns. And you can see that it is the type of ammunition which was extracted from the body of Roman Senyk.
Next. Michael Zhiznevsky was shot through his chest almost in front but the bullet came out of the back below the entry level. Accordingly the shot was from above.
Bullet extracted from the body of Roman Senyk also entered him in the shoulder at an angle on top of the front of his body and slightly to the right, as seen clearly from the photo of bullet's entry, and shattered his arm and stuck in his lung. So at least in two cases out of three shots were from above.
Street Hrushevskogo is on a hill. In the
downhill direction are the protesters, uphill - the militia.
Moreover, on the left in the view from the protesters' side is Mariinsky park, which is where militia Berkut are stationed and where they take position in the cover of the burnt screen and are often shooting and it is located just on the hill
Nigoyan's body was found close to the stadium
"Dynamo" so Berkut was on right from him and the shotgun shell came
from there. Otherwise the wound to his head could not possibly have happened.
If we take as a starting point the specifications of Blondeau bullets, for which the weight for 12 caliber is more than 30 grams, it can be assumed that the weight of the Ukrainian bullet for special use is about the same. Accordingly the powder charge should be stronger than in the case of a rubber bullet. The blow-back for a special bullet must be very strong. That is exactly we can see in the video

So they see in the protesters something different. Nazis, Bandera followers or agents of the State Department, traitors - I do not know what they
were told and brainwashed. Clearly stones
and Molotov cocktails do not add friendliness between protestors and militia
too.
It’s known that the use of weapons by each of the security forces is strictly regulated. It should only be used under specific circumstances and for a specific category of persons. But here on Hrushevskogo Street we could see in numerous cases how the "Berkut" strapped shrapnel with scotch tape to stun grenades for using against protestors and which caused them heavy damage.

Moreover, "Berkut" militiamen
also used stones and Molotov cocktails against protestors.

There is much evidence of torture of
captive protestors with heavy battering and humiliation of them by 'Berkut'.
All these facts say clearly that authorities lost full control of their Special
Forces. And that's why protests in Ukraine have turned bloody.
