Rapper Denis Ustimenko-Weinstein, known as Dzhigan, caused an armed riot in the suburban cottage village "Chateau Sovereign" near Moscow on the night of July 4. In a state of alcohol intoxication, he locked himself in a house with security and staff, accusing them of betrayal and espionage. Armed with a Saiga-9 carbine, the musician forced one of the guards to confess to fabricated accusations, gave him five seconds to escape, and opened fire, wounding him in the arm and leg. The shooting continued against other workers. People were held hostage for about ten hours. The rapper's children hid from their armed father in closets and wrote about the events to their mother, Oksana Samoilova, who was in Italy. Neighbors called the police, but no one filed a complaint. Immediately after the incident, the musician's entourage took him abroad—he is now undergoing treatment at a rehabilitation center in Israeli Rishon LeZion. Former employees note that the rapper had regularly humiliated staff before.
