The daughter killed the hockey player's father. The famous hockey player died at the hands of his own daughter

On Sunday, journalists reported that the former goalkeeper of the USSR national hockey team, 78-year-old Viktor Tolmachev, was found dead in Moscow with traces of knife wounds. According to media reports, the main suspect in the crime was the athlete’s 55-year-old daughter, Tatyana. As it later turned out, the man’s body lay in the apartment for a month and a half.

The Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case “against a resident of the capital born in 1962,” but did not specify the names of the defendants. She was charged with murder. The investigation into the crime continues.

“According to the investigation, the woman, during an unspecified period of time, but no later than September 22, 2017, while with her father in the apartment of one of the residential buildings on Otkrytoye Highway in Moscow, stabbed him at least twice in the chest area with a knife. The man, born in 1939, died on the spot from his injuries,” it was written on the website of the Russian Investigative Committee.

On Tuesday, September 26, in the studio of the program “Andrey Malakhov. Live" discussed the murder of Viktor Tolmachev. The broadcast experts tried to understand what could have led to the death of the athlete. Among the guests of the talk show was the ex-wife of the hockey player Lyubov Bychkova, who sounded the alarm when Tolmachev stopped answering calls.

“We haven’t lived together for 30 years. But we continued to communicate, we have a common daughter, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. The last time we talked was a month and a half ago. Then I did more talking. He was going to go on vacation because he had bad kidneys. After that, when I called, the phone was busy. Apparently the phone was just lying there. At first I wasn't worried. When my granddaughter went to visit, she found the task force and the local police officer already there,” the woman said.

According to Bychkova, she has an extremely difficult relationship with her daughter. “She behaved badly. She lives near Ryazan and came to apply for a pension. She wanted to be registered in an apartment. And she was registered. She has not worked all her life and either lived at my expense or at the expense of her husband... She is explosive, restless. Recently, she wanted to get guardianship over him because he was very sick. He had suspected Parkinson's disease and a frontal aneurysm. But since she doesn’t finish anything completely, she quit,” Bychkova noted.

Viktor Egorovich lived in a one-room apartment, which he had recently renovated. Neighbors called the local police officer when they smelled a strong smell. “I was shocked when my daughter called. He says: “Victor was killed.” I was shocked. And it seems like they gave it to their daughters...” says one of them. According to residents, Tolmachev allegedly abused alcohol.

Bychkova said that Tatyana was extremely reluctant to make contact with her father. In her youth, she did not obey her parents and often left home. When the athlete's heiress became a mother and gave birth to Vika, she was not even seventeen years old. “They didn’t give her to us from the maternity hospital. They said they couldn’t give it to someone so young. My husband and I wrote a statement that we would raise him. But he didn’t educate, he left. And he put all this on me, because he knew that I was a responsible person,” shared the ex-wife of the hockey player. Relatives suggest that the daughter could be offended by Viktor Yegorovich.

“He, of course, wanted to communicate with her, but my daughter resisted. When we talked to Yana (Bychkova’s granddaughter - Approx.), she said: “It looks like this is revenge.” He promised to raise her, help with Vika, but he left, and women loved him. This, of course, is my assumption,” says Bychkova.

Tolmachev’s ex-wife also explained why she broke up with him. According to her, the hockey player had problems with alcohol. “I don’t consider my leaving a betrayal. When he retired from sports, I supported him for some time. He drank, he just drank,” shared the ex-lover of Viktor Yegorovich. Under pressure from experts, Bychkova said that her husband had raised his hand against her.

“He drank all the time. After matches, after everything, he came home and behaved badly. He insulted my daughter, beat me, humiliated me. Once I hit my daughter against a radiator and she had a concussion. This was the reason for my divorce,” said the ex-wife of the hockey player.

He played for CSKA and the USSR national team, but was killed in Moscow by his daughter, who inflicted several stab wounds on him. According to relatives, the hockey player’s daughter had strained relations with her family. Tolmachev’s daughter was taken into custody and charged with murder, according to the official website of the Moscow City Chief.

Many famous Russian hockey players expressed condolences to Tolmachev’s family and shared memories of his play on the ice.

The famous striker of Moscow “Spartak”, a two-time Olympic champion, repeatedly met in matches of the USSR championship with CSKA and Tolmachev and told Gazeta.Ru about how the games with the army club proceeded.

“Tolmachev was a very good goalkeeper and played for the national team in the mid-60s. But, unfortunately, he never managed to play at the World Cup.

It was very difficult to play against CSKA. How can I get to Tolmachev if the army team played in defense and Viktor Kuzkin, and?” said Mayorov.

The three-time Olympic champion, ex-defender of Dynamo Moscow, said that Tolmachev has always been a good example for his partners.

“Victor has always been a decent person and a great player. We often crossed paths with him - both in the second USSR national team, and in the first, and in matches of the USSR championship.

He was a high-class goalkeeper, diligent in his duties and always came first. And he was an example for his partners - how to prepare for the game. It was wonderful person and it’s a shame that he passed away forever,” Davydov shared his memories.

The goalkeeper of the USSR national team, Olympic champion in 1972, noted that Tolmachev’s fate after finishing his career was not easy.

“The last time I saw Viktor was a few years ago at a CSKA match and he looked good. He was a good player and spent several seasons at CSKA.

And this fact suggests that Victor was quite satisfied, and it gave him the opportunity to play in the main lineup for several years. His fate was quite difficult. If we talk about it from the point of view of human qualities, then CSKA did not keep bad people. And he was a completely worthy and respected person. But after finishing his career, he had a hard time; he couldn’t adapt to his new life,” Pashkov concluded.

On Friday, September 22, a 76-year-old pensioner called the district police officer, ex-wife Tolmacheva, and expressed concern that her ex-husband haven't been in touch more than a week. The policeman went to the hockey player’s address. The door to the pensioner’s apartment was opened by his daughter and stated that he was not at home now, and former hockey player resting in Transcarpathia, Ukraine.

However, the police officer managed to catch an unpleasant, pungent odor coming from the apartment, entered the house and found a half-decomposed corpse on the sofa, covered with a tarpaulin. The body had changed significantly, but a medical examination determined that death was the result of stab wounds.

Tolmachev's daughter was immediately detained by the police, and later she was charged with murder. The woman has now been arrested and is in custody.

Viktor Tolmachev began playing hockey at the Moscow children's and youth sports school in 1953. Already in 1962, he began to defend the colors of CSKA, with which he became the champion of the USSR five times. However, in 1969, the goalkeeper left the army club and moved to Khimik Voskresensk, where he ended his career in 1972. The former goalkeeper played ten matches for the USSR national team. After Tolmachev in 1969, the main goalkeeper of CSKA, and then the national team, became, who at that time was only 17 years old.

The tragic news shocked the hockey world on September 24th. The former goalkeeper of the USSR national team was found murdered in his home on Otkrytoye Highway. It is reported that the body of a famous former athlete Viktor Tolmachev lay in the apartment for several days, and all this time the main suspect, his 55-year-old daughter, lived quietly with him. Information that is difficult to wrap your head around. Apparently, not only investigators, but also psychiatrists will have to deal with the woman.

According to news agencies, the body of a 78-year-old veteran was found by a police officer who came to check on the elderly man’s condition at the request of his relatives. The fact is that Tolmachev did not get in touch for a long time, so people close to him became worried. The circumstances that emerged shocked them.

According to news agencies, the body of a 78-year-old veteran was found by a police officer who came to check on the elderly man’s condition at the request of his relatives.

The first details have already appeared, which were reported by the investigative authorities. The former goalkeeper died from stab wounds, he was stabbed several times in the chest area.

“When police arrived at the former goalkeeper’s apartment at 6 Otkrytoye Shosse, they found the body of a man covered with a tarpaulin. According to the investigation, no later than September 22, a woman born in 1962, in an apartment in a house on Otkrytoye Highway, stabbed a man born in 1939 at least twice in the chest area with a knife. The accused has been charged. She was detained,” TASS quotes the senior assistant to the head of the Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee for Moscow Yulia Ivanova.

Tolmachev's daughter was detained. Currently, investigators have opened a criminal case under the article “Murder”. The suspect has already admitted to what she did. It is interesting to know the motives for which the woman decided to commit such a heinous crime.

It is worth noting that Tolmachev is a four-time USSR hockey champion, the predecessor of the legendary Soviet goalkeeper Vladislav Tretiak, currently serving as president of the Russian Hockey Federation. The peak of the player's fame came from 1963-1966. It was Tolmachev who in those days defended the colors of the “army” team and forged the glory of the invincible CSKA. In addition to the club, the hockey player also played for the USSR national team, playing 10 matches with it. Tolmachev was among the best players in the country four times.

As fate would have it, the goalkeeper was expelled from CSKA due to a serious conflict with coach Boris Kulagin, after which he moved to Khimik Voskresensk. Just after this incident, Tolmachev’s place in goal was taken by Tretyak, who for many years was among the elite of the entire world hockey. Well, Tolmachev’s career began to go downhill.

Tolmachev's daughter was detained. Currently, investigators have opened a criminal case under the article “Murder”. The suspect has already admitted to what she did.

This is how the Olympic champion characterizes Tolmachev Alexander Pashkov.

“I have good memories of Tolmachev. He was a good player, a master. Repeated champion of the USSR, played for CSKA for a long time. He was a respected person in the team. It was difficult to play in that team; it was a champion. Tarasov's requirements were high, and he met them. His career in terms of the national team did not quite work out. The national team was strong at that time, and he did not quite reach its level.

Later he lost motivation and quickly ended his career at Khimik. And later his fate was difficult. Tolmachev had neither profession nor education, so Victor had to do something unusual for him. He worked in trade. In Soviet times, it was difficult to work in it; this is a very sensitive topic. And here he began to make mistakes, life was not the same as it was in hockey. He failed to achieve balance and save his family, and with age this only worsened.

Pashkov: I have good memories of Tolmachev. He was a good player, a master. Repeated champion of the USSR, played for CSKA for a long time. He was a respected person in the team.

The last time we spoke was five years ago at a CSKA game. He very rarely came there. He was a good friend and player. Playing for CSKA was a dream for hockey players of that time. Victor achieved this. It seems to me that those people who knew him will have a good memory of him,” Pashkov told the Championship.

The editors of the Championship expresses condolences to the friends and relatives of the murdered man.

On Sunday evening, legendary hockey goalie Viktor Tolmachev was found dead in his apartment with seven stab wounds. The hockey player's own daughter is suspected of murder. September 26 in the program "Andrey Malakhov. Live broadcast" Tolmachev’s ex-wife Lyubov Bychkova and his fellow athletes said whether they believe in the investigation’s version.

The body of 78-year-old Tolmachev was discovered by a local police officer after the ex-wife of the hockey player sounded the alarm, and she could not contact him for a long time. As it turned out later, the body lay in the apartment for almost a month and a half. All this time, the daughter of the murdered man was next to the corpse. She assured neighbors, concerned about the unpleasant smell, that her father had gone on vacation abroad, and she was poisoning cockroaches with dichlorvos.

In the studio of the program, Lyubov Bychkova said that she had not lived with her husband for 30 years, but she constantly maintained contact: they had a common daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The last time she spoke to Victor was about a month and a half ago. He was really going to go on vacation to the Morshino sanatorium near Lviv to treat his kidneys. After that the phone was busy all the time. At her request, her granddaughter went to Tolmachev and... found the police there.

Victor and Lyubov’s common daughter, Tatyana, is 55 years old. She was a difficult child from childhood. Now he lives near Ryazan. I came to Moscow to apply for a pension. She never worked - she lived at the expense of her mother, then at the expense of her husband. Tatyana has an explosive character. They did not get along with their mother, but after his departure from big sport she also lost interest. Tolmachev registered her in his apartment - a one-room apartment in a Khrushchev building, however, with European-quality renovation, and it costs 2.5 million rubles. And Tatyana was going to get guardianship over her sick dad...

But it was Yana’s youngest granddaughter who really looked after her grandfather. However, after the mother appeared, she met her daughter at the metro and took away the food she had brought, not letting her into the house. However, Yana believes that the tragedy did not happen because of the Moscow apartment. The murder of her father is Tatyana’s revenge for the fact that he promised to help her raise Vika, whom she gave birth to at the age of 17, but did not keep his word, exchanging his family for women, of whom he had no shortage, and dumping all worries about the young mother and newborn girl for a wife.

Guests in the studio suggested that Tolmachev really neglected his loved ones. Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics, Honored Master of Sports of the USSR Lidia Ivanova admitted that in Soviet times, “all the juice was squeezed out of athletes to the end,” so Victor really might not have had the time and energy for his family. And at the end of their careers, these champions, caressed by glory, became nothing, without a means of livelihood, and it was at that moment that Victor’s wife left her, taking her daughter.

Lyubov Bychkova denies accusations of betrayal - it’s not about material wealth. She left because her husband was drinking. Even at the peak of his sports career, he drank between games, humiliated and beat his eight-year-old daughter with mortal combat - until he suffered a concussion. A friend of the murdered man, five-time USSR hockey champion Nikolai Tolstikov, confirms that drinking took place, but he cannot imagine Victor raising his hand against his wife and daughter.

So who took the life of the four-time USSR champion, goalkeeper of the famous CSKA club, mentor Vladislav Tretyak? Everyone rejects the version of a thoughtful, calculated murder: seven stabs with a knife can only be inflicted under the influence of strong emotions. In addition, a diabetic with diseased kidneys did not have long to live, and it was possible to speed up the end quietly - by changing medications, for example.

Was another man involved in Tolmachev’s murder, whose crime was absurdly and awkwardly hidden by Tatyana? Was Tatyana herself mentally healthy? And if, nevertheless, the death of her father was her doing, why did she deal with him so cruelly, for whom did she take revenge - for herself or her mother? The answers are in the program “Andrey Malakhov. Live”.

The first to sound the alarm was the ex-wife of USSR national hockey team goalkeeper Viktor Tolmachev. The 76-year-old pensioner explained to the district police officer that the famous Soviet athlete, whose name once thundered throughout the country, had not been in touch for more than a week.

And indeed, on the sofa, law enforcement officers found a half-decomposed corpse covered with a tarpaulin, Moskovsky Komsomolets reports. Despite the putrefactive changes, experts were able to determine the cause of death - seven stab wounds.

A woman who spent almost a month in the same apartment with the body of her stabbed father was detained. A criminal case has been initiated into the incident under the article “Murder”. According to preliminary data, the woman confessed to committing the crime. Relatives said that the suspect always had strained relations with her family. The woman did not work anywhere, sold her apartment, leaving her own daughter without housing, and moved to a one-room apartment with Viktor Tolmachev.

The granddaughter of a hockey player visited a pensioner. The last time she was in the apartment was on August 7. According to her, that day her mother was talking to herself, but the athlete assured that everything was fine with them. She never saw her grandfather alive again. The girl kept in touch with her relatives by telephone and did not notice anything unusual when talking with her mother.

When asked about Viktor Tolmachev, his daughter answered several times that he was sleeping, and then told a story about a trip to Ukraine. This version did not seem strange to the relatives, because the pensioner traveled to the suburbs of Lvov several times a year, where a doctor friend was already waiting for him.
