January 11 marked nineteen years since the murder of Yuri Tishkov. It was like a knife in the heart… Smart, honest. A great player, later a talented commentator, football agent. The well-known sports journalist, author of books about football, Alexey Matveev, prepared his investigation of this unsolved murder especially for the Cheka-OGPU. He provides details that were previously unknown to the investigation. We will publish this investigation on Thursday and Friday. The facts set out in it may well serve as a basis for the Investigative Committee to return to this case again and try to find the killers and the person who ordered the crime.

“I am inclined to the version of revenge on Yuri for his organized transfer from Torpedo-ZIL to the camp of the Moscow Spartak of midfielder Dmitry Smirnov. The transition was formalized in December 2002. Yuri was Smirnov’s sports agent, the profession itself was just emerging in Russia…

The story of the transfer was accompanied by a loud scandal; representatives of Torpedo even sued the player because of the decision he made. But they lost the trial. Tishkov also had knowledge in jurisprudence. A bloody denouement soon followed. Yura was beaten with sharpeners in January 2003, compare the dates. I’ll add one more important, if not key, touch to the tragic story with Yuri Tishkov. The president of the then torpedo teams was the very odious Yuri Belous…

By the way, he threatened me with possible reprisals in 1996. I actually caught him speculating on tickets for the upcoming Euro matches in England with the participation of the Russian national team,” points out Alexey Matveev.
