Andrey Kozitsyn - biography

Andrei Anatolyevich Kozitsyn was born on June 9, 1960 in the city of Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Sverdlovsk Region. In 1979 he graduated from the Sverdlovsk Mining and Metallurgical College and in the same year he began working as an electrician at the Uralelectromed plant in Verkhnyaya Pyshma.

The year 1979 was rich in events for Andrei Kozitsyn: in addition to graduating from a technical school and entering the service, he joined the ranks of the Soviet Army. In 1981, after the service, he returned to the Uralelectromed plant.

Success for Andrei Kozitsyn was not lightning fast. On the way to high positions and wealth, he did not jump through the steps of the career ladder, but went through almost all of them. From the position of electrician he rose to the head I&C section, then - deputy chief head of the automation laboratory, head of the equipment department, and only then - commercial director (in 1994).

At that time, the plant was barely "breathing" under the rubble of debts and non-payments, it had to be revived "from the ashes", and Kozitsyn coped with the task. It was during this period that control over the plant passed to Iskander Makhmudov (an Uzbek by nationality), today a legendary person in Russian metallurgy.

In 1993, Andrey Kozitsyn graduated from the Ural State Technical University (now UrFU) with a degree in non-ferrous metallurgy.

In 1995, Kozitsyn became the general director of OJSC Uralelectromed (and managed the company until 2002), and in 1999, with the participation of Makhmudov, the future holding UMMC (Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company) was formed. Kozitsyn becomes the general director, and the president and majority owner of the holding is Makhmudov.

UMMC holding

In 2002, Kozitsyn took over the management of the head management company of UMMC - UMMC-Holding LLC.

The main assets are represented in the mining industry, mechanical engineering, non-ferrous metallurgy, in the extraction of precious and rare earth metals, construction, and agribusiness.

An interesting fact: in 2014, one of the holding's enterprises, UMMC-Agro, took an original step under the import substitution program: it replaced bumblebees from Israel, pollinating tomatoes in greenhouses, with Russian ones.

An old hobby of an entrepreneur - military history, thanks to which he stood at the origins of the creation of one of the largest museums in the country, based in Verkhnyaya Pyshma. The Museum of military equipment "Battle Glory of the Urals" is located on the territory of the "Uralelectromed" plant on an area of ​​7 hectares. It presents more than 30 units of railway equipment, 28 armored personnel carriers and tanks, about 20 aircraft from the Second World War.

In the course of an interview on the activities of the museum, which the general director of the UMMC gave to Forbes magazine correspondents, he shared his plans: the construction of a karting track, a large planetarium, a spacious sambo palace, a tram ring capable of linking Yekaterinburg and Verkhnyaya Pyshma. Kozitsyn explained his plans to do everything during his lifetime with a simple statement: “We don’t know what the Lord is preparing for us.”

Andrey Kozitsyn successfully combines excellent managerial skills and deep academic knowledge. Once a reporter from the magazine "Expert" during an interview with a billionaire asked who he was - a metallurgist or a universal manager. Andrey Kozitsyn replied that he was a metallurgist, but it was foolish not to use the skills given by nature.

Makhmudov Iskandar Kakhramonovich

OJSC Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (50%), Rodionov Publishing House LLC (25%), together with partner Andrey Bokarev, owns a 13% stake in Transoil LLC, a major railway carrier of petroleum products (acquired from Gennady Timchenko). Makhmudov owns a 17.5% stake in Aeroexpress LLC, which transports passengers between Moscow and nearby airports; Kuzbassrazrezugol (60%), Transgroup (33%).

Andrey Kozitsyn, general director of the UMMC, became an adviser to the governor Yevgeny Kuyvashev on a voluntary basis, media reports. However, the governor's Department of Information Policy does not comment on the appointment.

Presumably, the decision to appoint Andrei Kozitsyn to the post of adviser to the governor was made on the basis of a personal statement. He will perform the duties of an adviser on a voluntary basis until the end of Yevgeny Kuyvashev's term.

What is Kuyvashev hinting at to Kozitsyn?

Today, a very interesting note has appeared on our favorite website Ustav.Com. A fairly deep analytics, only there is one point in it that you need to pay attention to, we quote in full:

At the end of last week, several federal agencies at once asked me to comment on the "go-ahead" for the elections, according to them, given by the Presidential Administration to the Sverdlovsk governor.

"Right hand" Andrey Anatolyevich Kozitsyn rocking the boat?

One significant event remained almost unnoticed in the media - the employees of the Yekaterinburg Institute of UVZ asked Putin and the prosecutor's office to help them "knock out" their salaries. Since the beginning of the year, UralNITI employees have received only seven thousand rubles.

E1.ru wrote an article stating that employees of the Ural Research Institute (part of the UVZ Corporation) have received almost no salary since the beginning of the year.

In Bashkiria, a criminal case was initiated against the UMMC

Andrey Kozitsyn, general director of UMMC, told Kommersant that "an unscrupulous game is being played against UMMC and attempts are being made to discredit the company in the eyes of the business community and the government of Bashkiria." According to him, the company is not aware of the initiation of a criminal case. “We are aware of the existence of a request from the prosecutor's office, and we are preparing a response,” he stressed.

According to Andrey Kozitsin, the tax inspectorate shows the dynamics of the growth of BSMK's accounts payable, which was before the transfer of the plant to the management of UMMC. Since that time, the plant's debt has decreased from 251.5 million rubles. up to 227.5 million rubles. Mr. Kozitsyn connects the scandal around BMSK with the strengthening of the position of UMMC in the raw material sector of Bashkiria and the dissatisfaction of unnamed competitors with this. And Kommersant's sources at the UMMC link what is happening with the upcoming auction for the Yubileiny deposit of copper pyrite ores (reserves - 110 million tons of ore). According to Kommersant's information, in addition to UMMC, the Russian Copper Company is bidding for it. It denied involvement in the scandal to Kommersant.

But if, nevertheless, the prosecutor's office proves UMMC's guilt, then this may become a reason for revising the management agreements for two more mining and processing plants - Buribaevsky and Khaibullinsky, which, along with Uchalinsky GOK and BMSK, are key elements of the UMMC raw material base in Bashkiria. Andrei Kozitsyn did not comment on the likelihood of such a development of events.

Khaydarov: "They beat me and demanded a $1 million ransom."

“They are hunting for me,” Jalol Khaydarov, the dismissed general director of the Kachkanar mining and processing plant, said by calling the editorial office of Vlast.

Vlast correspondent Yury Krotov spoke with Mr. Khaidarov.

The conflict at the Kachkanar mining and processing plant, which was reported by all the central media, began in April 1999. At first, it looked like an attempt by a minority of GOK shareholders to seize power at the plant by seizing the majority shares by a court decision and depriving them of their voting rights. At the first stage, the leaders of the GOK, Dzhalol Khaydarov, Damir Gareev and Andrey Kozitsyn, managed to neutralize this attempt.

Soon, however, the allies fell out. Then it became clear that the real directors of this story are Iskander Makhmudov (president of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, owned by Mikhail Cherny) and Alexander Abramov (Euroazmetall group of companies (RAM)). The acquisition of Kachkanar GOK fits into their strategy aimed at creating an empire in the Ural region that would control the production of non-ferrous and ferrous metals, as well as their marketing abroad. The implementation of these plans was hindered by Jalol Khaydarov, the general director of the Kachkanar GOK.

Andrey Kozitsyn employs VIP daughters

The Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company has been hiring former officials and security officials for a long time and with pleasure - Andrei Kozitsyn has a whole collection of high-ranking retirees in his offices. It turned out that the businessman is ready to attach the offspring of famous families. The daughter of the Deputy Plenipotentiary of the President in the Ural Federal District Viktor Basargin (she is married to a top manager of the company) works in the legal department of the UMMC, and Vladimir's daughter works as an adviser to the general director Tungusova Olga.

For a mistake in publishing a photo of Mikhail Fradkov, a Ural newspaper can be sold under the hammer

Andrey Kozitsyn, the owner of the Podrobnosti newspaper, the general director of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, apparently had to answer for the president's protege and close friend of the governor. For a long time Kozitsyn supported the regional branch of the Union of Right Forces, that is, the legal opposition to the authorities. After the SPS started having party problems and no less problems developed for the local “rightists”, who were simply not allowed to participate in the elections to the regional Duma, a typo with a photograph of the prime minister turned out to be completely out of place for the industrialist.

They say that after the release of the ill-fated issue of Podrobnosti, the situation developed as follows: from the early morning in the waiting room of Andrey Kozitsyn, the phone was literally torn. The oligarch was hinted that the mistake was political in nature and could cost the metallurgist dearly. Kozitsyn gave the order to take immediate measures, and a decision was made, if not to immediately close the newspaper, which is extremely unprofitable from a commercial point of view, then put Podrobnosti for sale. According to some reports, the final decision was made in the morning next day when the oligarch got acquainted with the resonance in third-party media, which gave the fact of the unfortunate typo a political overtone. Kozitsyn took this tone as the opinion of the leadership of the governor's administration.

Copper wars in modern Russia. How it was.

It was a time of hard struggle for the plant. Alexander Volkhin, the general director of KMEZ, claimed control over UEM, who in 1992 managed to. move away from UEM and not only make the plant independent legal entity, but also to beat UEM's shrinking copper foil market. Instead, UEM began to produce radiator tape. Also, KMEZ, having stopped the supply of sludge to the refining production of UEM, began to smelt gold and silver itself.

Volkhin had strong administrative support both in Chelyabinsk and in Moscow, where Viktor Khristenko, a native of Chelyabinsk, became vice-premier for economics. At that time, Kozitsyn could not boast of Moscow connections, and not everything went smoothly with the governor's entourage.

Volkhin aggressively worked proactively, with the aim of uniting both centers for the production of refined copper in the Urals - the only export resource of the industry. The idea is simple: for a share of the income from the final product, the rest of the technological chain of the copper industry will itself work for him.

$850,000 for the governor?

I, Kozitsyn Andrey Anatolyevich, confirm that I received from the Blond company in the person of Iskander Makhmudov the amount of $ 850,000 in cash (eight hundred and fifty thousand) for the election campaign of Rossel, the promotion of trusted deputies to the regional duma and work with the regional administration. This amount will be taken into account by us in the calculations in the cost of processing raw materials and precious metals of the company.

Recalculated. Right.

I sent this receipt by fax to Andrey Kozitsyn, the president of the mining and metallurgical company, and asked him to comment. Andrei Anatolyevich called an hour later, said that his signature, but everything else is fake, made up on a computer, and the original receipt does not exist in nature: he is not an idiot to write such nonsense.

A little later, one of Kozitsyn's subordinates approached me and asked for an examination... the original receipts. But mentally, we are fine. True, we can recall that the text of the receipt was compiled and written by an employee of his accounting department. This woman, together with Andrei Anatolyevich, signed it.

Whether these hundreds of thousands of dollars reached the governor of the Sverdlovsk region, Eduard Rossel, I don’t know. But, it seems that in this case, the Prosecutor General's Office, the Central Election Commission and the tax police of Russia should show professional interest. Surely a meticulous reader will ask about the Blond company. Blond Javestmen is the nominal owner of Uralelectromed (60%). Of these, half belongs to Mikhail Cherny, the other to Kozitsyn and Iskander Makhmudov. In exactly the same proportion, these business comrades control the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company - together with Uralelectromed, the Gaisky Mining and Processing Plant, the Bogoslavsky Mining Administration, and Sibkabel.

UMMC "in the law"?

In the struggle for control over the largest industrial corporation Uralinvestenergo, Andrey Kozitsyn, the head of the UMMC copper holding, does not shy away from any means. The police and the prosecutor's office do not interfere in the dispute between the owners, and judges do not consider the claims of the corporation under pressure for months. Cases against the former management of Uralinvestenergo, who plundered assets and caused multimillion-dollar damage to the group's enterprises, are not diligently considered.

"Deadly business" Makhmudov and Kozitsyn

The fact is that even the most superficial look at the situation shows that the roots of these cases do not stretch to Chelyabinsk, not to Governor Sumin and ex-prosecutor Bragin, but in the exact opposite direction - to the Sverdlovsk Region, to the city of Verkhnyaya Pyshma, where the Uralelectromed enterprise is the leading metallurgical production of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, owned by Iskander Makhmudov, and the general director is Andrey Kozitsyn, about whom, in the words of V. Filichkin, we can say that he has an “artificially created reputation as a believing Orthodox person, inclined to charity »

The name "UGCM" flashed more than once in criminal reports in 2000-2001, when the Makhmudov-Kozitsyn company distinguished itself during the forcible seizure of enterprises. The company has several high-profile scandals at once - with the help of the security service and with the support of unscrupulous representatives power structures Kozitsyn and Makhmudov managed to take literally by storm the Serov Metallurgical Plant, the Kachkanar GOK "Vanadium". During the forcible capture of the last one, the "fighters" of the UMMC security service dispersed the workers from fire hoses in winter. These shots then spread all over the country. A similar attempt to establish control over a number of enterprises in Chelyabinsk region. However, the company still does not give up attempts to take possession of other people's property by force: over the past months, the Makhmudov-Kozitsyn campaign, practically without hiding, has been actively campaigning to take over the Ural Chemical Engineering Plant.

Election fever of the Sverdlovsk clans

In the Sverdlovsk region on September 7, elections of the governor will be held. The clear favorite of the race is the current governor Eduard Rossel. The veteran of the Yeltsin draft managed to suppress the open opposition, which at various times was headed by such authoritative politicians and business executives as the mayor of Yekaterinburg Arkady Chernetsky, leader of the regional branch of the party " United Russia”, General Director of the Nizhny Tagil Iron and Steel Works Sergey Nosov and General Director of the UMMC Andrey Kozitsyn.

Today, several candidates are trying to resist Rossel in the elections, two of whom stand out: Andrey Vikharev, Russian senator from the regional parliament of the Kurgan region and deputy of the House of Representatives of the Legislative Assembly of the Sverdlovsk region Anton Bakov.

Vikharev plays "smart, honest, reliable," strives not to get involved in scandals, and campaigns through charity concerts and social assistance. They say that Andrei Vikharev ends every rally with the words: “Today I am still a senator, and tomorrow I am a governor.” However, there was clearly not enough strength for the entire campaign, and the election campaign, according to analysts, was largely curtailed. So the finishing spurt in the last days before the elections is unlikely to help the senator. Nevertheless, active work with sponsors is being carried out and Vikharev himself is widely promoting his inevitable exit to the second round.

Anton Bakov led the campaign in a different style. Its core was the Antimafia program, at the center of which is the idea that the mafia in the Sverdlovsk region largely relies on the help of the governor, so the main slogan is: “Let's defeat Rossel! Let's beat the mafia! It is noteworthy that billboards with such slogans stand in the center of Yekaterinburg itself, and the safety of the images is guaranteed by several private security companies. Bakov's campaign is quite noisy and attracts the attention of many who want to hear bright, scandalous messages. Bakov's opponents say that this is not enough to win, but the showman is sure that there is a chance to catch on for the second round.

Andrey Kozitsyn is a successful businessman, an experienced manager and a visionary manager. It was these valuable qualities that gave him the opportunity to become a wealthy person. According to Forbes magazine, Andrey Anatolyevich's financial assets are worth $4.3 billion. The accumulation of capital for him is not an end in itself, this person knows how to spend money for good purposes. He is a well-known philanthropist and philanthropist who has done a lot for his region.

Childhood and youth

Andrey Kozitsyn was born in Verkhnyaya Pyshma on June 9, 1960. Currently, this settlement is considered a satellite of Yekaterinburg, the distance between the centers of the two cities is fourteen kilometers. Already in childhood, Andrei had considerable courage, he had a desire to help others.

In the photo Andrey Kozitsyn in his youth

AT adolescence he saved a girl who was drowning in the river. For such an act, the young hero was awarded the medal "For saving the drowning." After graduating from high school, the young man decided to continue his studies at the Sverdlovsk Mining and Metallurgical College named after Ivan Polzunov.

Labor activity

After graduating from college, the young specialist got a job. He became a mechanic at the Uralelectromed plant. Soon the young specialist was drafted into the ranks of the Soviet army. After the service, he returned to his workplace. Starting from the bottom rung of the corporate ladder, Andrey gradually found himself at the very top of it. Kozitsyn headed the enterprise in the mid-90s. The country was going through a protracted crisis, the plant was also in a deplorable state. To be able to influence the situation, it was necessary to have a special education, and the young leader understood this very well. He becomes a student at the Ural Polytechnic Institute, studying at the Faculty of Metallurgy. Kozitsyn headed Uralelectromed until 2002.

It should be noted that he simultaneously headed two enterprises - Uralelectromed and UMMC - the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company. The latter was formed during the reorganization of Uralelectromed. Its founder was Kozitsyn's companion,. After some time, many enterprises producing ferrous, non-ferrous metals, construction, and agricultural firms are consolidated into UGKM-Holding, which is the management company of UGKM. The management of the commercial alliance was entrusted to Andrey Kozitsyn. The work biography of this person, his great experience, the baggage of accumulated knowledge made it possible to do this.

The company was doing so well that the entrepreneur decided not to limit the horizons of his professional interest. Already in the late 90s, the head of UMMC, Andrey Kozitsyn, on an equal footing, concluded a deal that made him a co-owner of the Chelyabinsk zinc plant. Businessman Igor Altushkin became Kozitsyn's partner. Andrei Anatolyevich's excellent business acumen helped him more than once. In the early 2000s, he was very interested in zinc companies. It is for this reason that in 2003 UMMC decided to acquire the Electrozinc enterprise in Vladikavkaz. The company was on the verge of bankruptcy, but this did not stop Kozitsyn. He not only paid off all the company's existing debts, but also modernized production.

Two years later, "Electrozinc" took the leading place in production among the three dozen companies that are part of the UMMC. Kozitsyn seemed to foresee that world zinc prices would rise by more than one third. Now Andrei Kozitsyn is the head of the Union of Enterprises of the Metallurgical Complex of the Sverdlovsk Region. In addition, he is a member of the Presidium of the Association of Metallurgists of Russia, head of the metallurgy committee at the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Charity

The interests of Andrey Anatolyevich are not limited only to production and personal life. He considers it his duty to provide people real help. Kozitsyn is the head of the Children of Russia charitable foundation, established in 1999. This organization provides assistance to children with disabilities, children left without parental care, supports children's institutions, creative teams. Andrey Anatolyevich rightly believes that children's sports should be massive, this will allow raising healthy children, and will make it possible to choose the most talented athletes among them. In the mid-2000s, the UMMC Sports Palace was erected in Verkhnyaya Pyshma. Andrei Anatolyevich took an active part in the construction of this complex. The new Sports Palace has an excellent, modern training base. Here, in fact, they train future champions.

In 2010, juniors got the opportunity to study at the newly built branch of the regional school of the Olympic reserve No. 1. After that, quite a bit of time passed and the grand opening of the Center for Olympic Training of the Russian National Table Tennis Teams took place. In 2018, the Ice Palace of Sports was opened, where young hockey players enjoy playing. Winter sports in this palace can be practiced by children and adults. For a city with a population of 70,000, this is simply a wonderful opportunity.

Since the beginning of the 60s, the number of inhabitants of Verkhnyaya Pyshma has doubled. People are trying to gain a foothold in this place where there is work and care for working people. Businessman Andrei Kozitsyn initiated a preferential housing program for young families. This category of people now has the opportunity to acquire their own housing in a clean, beautiful, comfortable city with a developed infrastructure. On a piece of land that had been empty for many decades, the UGCM built a microdistrict called "Sadoviy". Residents of new houses like not only the decoration of their apartments, but also closed yards, excellent colorful, safe playgrounds for children.

The businessman gave a lot of time and effort to the creation of a museum of military equipment. This work is very significant for him, it is a tribute to the participants of the Great Patriotic War. The largest Russian museum called "The Military Glory of the Urals" is located on the territory of the Uralelectromed plant. Its area covers seven hectares. Here you can see 20 aircraft, 30 railway vehicles, 28 armored personnel carriers and tanks from the Second World War. Not so long ago, the Church of the Assumption was built in the city. Holy Mother of God, a mosque in the name of Imam Ismail Bukhari. These merits of Kozitsyn to the city did not go unnoticed, he became an honorary citizen of Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Sverdlovsk region, Yekaterinburg.

Andrey considers himself a successful metallurgist and an effective manager. This person is distinguished by deep academic knowledge, at one time he defended his doctoral dissertation. He has a lot of plans regarding the development of his native city, and he hopes to put them into practice.

Personal life

Very little is known about the personal life of the entrepreneur, he does not like to advertise it. He is married and raised his daughter Maria with his wife. This is a very capable girl, in 2015 she graduated from school in the suburbs.

An excerpt characterizing Kozitsyn, Andrey Anatolyevich

- Can't be! cried Rostov.
“I have the honor to report to you the real truth,” Alpatych repeated.
Rostov got off the horse and, handing it over to the orderly, went with Alpatych to the house, asking him about the details of the case. Indeed, yesterday’s offer of bread by the princess to the peasants, her explanation with Dron and with the gathering spoiled the matter so much that Dron finally handed over the keys, joined the peasants and did not appear at the request of Alpatych, and that in the morning, when the princess ordered to lay the mortgage in order to go, the peasants came out in a large crowd to the barn and sent to say that they would not let the princess out of the village, that there was an order not to be taken out, and they would unharness the horses. Alpatych went out to them, advising them, but they answered him (Karp spoke the most; Dron did not show up from the crowd) that the princess could not be released, that there was an order for that; but that let the princess remain, and they will serve her as before and obey her in everything.
At that moment, when Rostov and Ilyin galloped along the road, Princess Marya, in spite of Alpatych's, nanny's and girls' dissuadement, ordered to mortgage and wanted to go; but, seeing the galloping cavalrymen, they took them for the French, the coachmen fled, and the wailing of women arose in the house.
- Father! native father! God has sent you, - tender voices said, while Rostov passed through the hall.
Princess Mary, lost and powerless, sat in the hall, while Rostov was brought in to her. She did not understand who he was, and why he was, and what would happen to her. Seeing his Russian face, and recognizing him as a man of her circle by his entrance and the first spoken words, she looked at him with her deep and radiant gaze and began to speak in a voice that broke and trembled with excitement. Rostov immediately imagined something romantic in this meeting. “Defenseless, heartbroken girl, alone, left to the mercy of rude, rebellious men! And what a strange fate pushed me here! thought Rostov, listening to her and looking at her. - And what meekness, nobility in her features and expression! he thought as he listened to her timid story.
When she started talking about how it all happened the day after her father's funeral, her voice trembled. She turned away and then, as if afraid that Rostov would not take her words for a desire to pity him, looked at him inquiringly and frightened. Rostov had tears in his eyes. Princess Mary noticed this and looked gratefully at Rostov with that radiant look of hers that made her forget the ugliness of her face.
“I can’t express, princess, how happy I am that I accidentally drove here and will be able to show you my readiness,” said Rostov, getting up. - If you please go, and I answer you with my honor that not a single person will dare to make trouble for you if you only allow me to escort you, - and, bowing respectfully, as they bow to the ladies of royal blood, he went to the door.
By the respectfulness of his tone, Rostov seemed to show that, despite the fact that he would consider his acquaintance with her to be happiness, he did not want to use the opportunity of her misfortune to get closer to her.
Princess Marya understood and appreciated this tone.
“I am very, very grateful to you,” the princess told him in French, “but I hope that it was all just a misunderstanding and that no one is to blame for that. The princess suddenly burst into tears. “Excuse me,” she said.
Rostov, frowning, bowed deeply once more and left the room.

- Well, honey? No, brother, my pink charm, and Dunyasha's name is ... - But, looking at Rostov's face, Ilyin fell silent. He saw that his hero and commander were in a completely different line of thought.
Rostov looked angrily at Ilyin and, without answering him, quickly walked towards the village.
- I'll show them, I'll ask them, the robbers! he said to himself.
Alpatych with a floating step, so as not to run, barely caught up with Rostov at a trot.
- What decision would you like to make? he said, catching up with him.
Rostov stopped and, clenching his fists, suddenly moved menacingly towards Alpatych.
– Decision? What's the solution? Old bastard! he shouted at him. - What were you watching? BUT? The men are rioting, and you can't handle it? You yourself are a traitor. I know you, I'll skin everyone... - And, as if afraid to waste his ardor in vain, he left Alpatych and quickly went forward. Alpatych, suppressing the feeling of insult, kept up with Rostov with a floating step and continued to tell him his thoughts. He said that the peasants were stagnant, that at the present moment it was imprudent to fight them without having a military team, that it would not be better to send for a team first.
“I will give them a military command ... I will oppose them,” Nikolai said senselessly, choking on unreasonable animal malice and the need to vent this anger. Not realizing what he would do, unconsciously, with a quick, decisive step, he moved towards the crowd. And the closer he moved to her, the more Alpatych felt that his imprudent act could produce good results. The peasants of the crowd felt the same way, looking at his quick and firm gait and his determined, frowning face.
After the hussars entered the village and Rostov went to the princess, confusion and discord occurred in the crowd. Some peasants began to say that these newcomers were Russians and no matter how offended they were by not letting the young lady out. Drone was of the same opinion; but as soon as he expressed it, Karp and other peasants attacked the former headman.
- How many years have you eaten the world? Karp shouted at him. - You don't care! You will dig a little egg, take it away, what do you want, ruin our houses, or not?
- It is said that there should be order, no one should go from the houses, so as not to take out a blue gunpowder - that's it! shouted another.
“There was a queue for your son, and you must have felt sorry for your baldness,” the little old man suddenly spoke quickly, attacking Dron, “but he shaved my Vanka. Oh, let's die!
- Then we will die!
“I am not a refuser from the world,” said Dron.
- That’s not a refuser, he has grown a belly! ..
Two long men were talking. As soon as Rostov, accompanied by Ilyin, Lavrushka and Alpatych, approached the crowd, Karp, putting his fingers behind his sash, smiling slightly, stepped forward. The drone, on the contrary, went into the back rows, and the crowd moved closer.
- Hey! who is your elder here? - shouted Rostov, quickly approaching the crowd.
- Is that the elder? What do you want? .. – asked Karp. But before he had time to finish, his hat fell off him and his head jerked to one side from a strong blow.
- Hats off, traitors! Rostov's full-blooded voice shouted. - Where is the elder? he shouted in a furious voice.
“The headman, the headman is calling ... Dron Zakharych, you,” hurriedly submissive voices were heard somewhere, and hats began to be removed from their heads.
“We can’t rebel, we observe the rules,” said Karp, and at the same moment several voices from behind suddenly began to speak:
- As the old men murmured, there are a lot of you bosses ...
- Talk? .. Riot! .. Robbers! Traitors! Rostov yelled senselessly, in a voice not his own, grabbing Karp by Yurot. - Knit him, knit him! he shouted, although there was no one to knit him, except for Lavrushka and Alpatych.
Lavrushka, however, ran up to Karp and grabbed him by the arms from behind.
- Will you order ours from under the mountain to call? he shouted.
Alpatych turned to the peasants, calling two by name to knit Karp. The men obediently left the crowd and began to unbelt.
- Where is the elder? shouted Rostov.
Drone, with a frown and pale face, stepped out of the crowd.
- Are you an elder? Knit, Lavrushka! - shouted Rostov, as if this order could not meet obstacles. And indeed, two more peasants began to knit Dron, who, as if helping them, took off his kushan and gave it to them.
- And you all listen to me, - Rostov turned to the peasants: - Now the march to the houses, and so that I don’t hear your voice.
“Well, we didn’t make any offense. We are just being stupid. They’ve only done nonsense… I told you it was disorder,” voices were heard reproaching each other.
“So I told you,” Alpatych said, coming into his own. - It's not good, guys!
“Our stupidity, Yakov Alpatych,” voices answered, and the crowd immediately began to disperse and scatter around the village.
The bound two peasants were taken to the manor's yard. Two drunk men followed them.
- Oh, I'll look at you! - said one of them, referring to Karp.
“Is it possible to speak to gentlemen like that?” What did you think?
“Fool,” another confirmed, “really, fool!”
Two hours later the carts were in the courtyard of Bogucharov's house. The peasants were busy carrying out the master's belongings and putting them on the carts, and Dron, at the request of Princess Marya, released from the locker where he was locked up, standing in the yard, disposed of the peasants.
“Don’t put it down so badly,” said one of the peasants, a tall man with a round smiling face, taking the box from the maid’s hands. She's worth the money too. Why are you throwing it like that or half a rope - and it will rub. I don't like that. And to be honest, according to the law. That's how it is under the matting, but cover it with a curtain, that's important. Love!
“Look for books, books,” said another peasant, who was carrying out the library cabinets of Prince Andrei. - You do not cling! And it’s heavy, guys, the books are healthy!
- Yes, they wrote, they didn’t walk! - a tall chubby man said with a significant wink, pointing to the thick lexicons lying on top.

Rostov, not wanting to impose his acquaintance on the princess, did not go to her, but remained in the village, waiting for her to leave. Having waited for Princess Mary's carriages to leave the house, Rostov mounted on horseback and accompanied her on horseback to the path occupied by our troops, twelve miles from Bogucharov. In Jankovo, at the inn, he took leave of her respectfully, for the first time allowing himself to kiss her hand.
“You’re not ashamed,” blushing, he answered Princess Marya to the expression of gratitude for her salvation (as she called his act), “every guard would have done the same. If we only had to fight with the peasants, we would not let the enemy go so far, ”he said, ashamed of something and trying to change the conversation. “I am only happy to have had the opportunity to meet you. Farewell, princess, I wish you happiness and consolation and wish to meet you under happier conditions. If you don't want to make me blush, please don't thank me.
But the princess, if she did not thank him more with words, thanked him with the whole expression of her face, beaming with gratitude and tenderness. She couldn't believe him, that she had nothing to thank him for. On the contrary, for her it was undoubtedly that if he were not there, then she probably would have to die from both the rebels and the French; that he, in order to save her, exposed himself to the most obvious and terrible dangers; and even more undoubted was the fact that he was a man with a lofty and noble soul, who knew how to understand her position and grief. His kind and honest eyes, with tears coming out of them, while she herself, crying, spoke to him about her loss, did not go out of her imagination.
When she said goodbye to him and was left alone, Princess Mary suddenly felt tears in her eyes, and then, not for the first time, she asked herself a strange question, does she love him?
On the way further to Moscow, despite the fact that the situation of the princess was not joyful, Dunyasha, who was traveling with her in the carriage, noticed more than once that the princess, leaning out of the carriage window, smiled joyfully and sadly at something.
