Every day is a new hero, a new story, a new human destiny. In total, about 150 short stories were written. Most of them have never been published before. Fourteen stories were published in the book "Temptation" in 2008, but with a violation of the chronology, without Lucifer's dialogues with his son and with some editorial changes, although the book says "in the author's edition."

Wanted
Sergei Mavrodi was deprived of his deputy mandate two months before the December 1996 elections. After that, investigative actions against him were resumed, and one more charge was added to the previous charges as part of the investigation into the activities of MMM - fraud. On December 17, 1997, Sergei Mavrodi was first put on the national wanted list, and a year later, on the international wanted list. Wanted by Interpol on the proposal of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs [source not specified 1887 days].
For more than five years he hid in a rented apartment and lived locked up, and nothing was known about him until the winter of 2003. There were rumors that he lived in Scandinavia or Greece for a long time, but in fact Mavrodi did not leave Moscow at all and never left Russia[33].
It was also assumed that Mavrodi lived on the territory of one of the government dachas on the Rublevsky highway, namely in the village of Zhukovka-3 in the Moscow region. But after his arrest, according to the criminal investigation department, it became known that the detainee was definitely in Moscow[34].
Being on the international wanted list through Interpol, Sergey Mavrodi created another pyramid on the Internet, now a worldwide one - the Stock Generation (SG) virtual stock exchange, which was registered in one of the Caribbean countries, designed as a gambling game and had an appropriate license. After some time, there were delays in payments. In his interview, Mavrodi claims that these were purely technical reasons - allegedly, banks were physically unable to cope with such a number of payments, the office was littered with unprocessed checks, Western Union did not have time to bring cash by plane. At first, delays were measured in weeks, then in months. Based on complaints, the SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) launched an investigation and closed the U.S. dollar accounts. As a result, the SEC lost the case in a Boston court (there was a license, everyone played voluntarily), but SG had already collapsed at that time[14]. According to official figures, in less than a year of work, about 275 thousand people suffered (mostly citizens of the United States and Western Europe). According to unofficial data, the number of victims is several million[14].
According to Mavrodi himself, for 8 years he was helped to hide from the investigation by his own security service, “of the same level as the one that was looking for me,” that is, consisting of former intelligence officers, high-class specialists [source not specified 1887 days].
Arrest and trial
On January 31, 2003, Mavrodi was arrested in Moscow, in a rented apartment on Frunzenskaya Embankment, by officers of the Main Directorate of Criminal Investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. During the arrest, he was found to have a fake passport in the name of citizen Yuri Zaitsev, a native of St. Petersburg[35]. A little later, after his arrest, he was charged under two articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: "Organization of forgery of documents" and "Evasion of taxes and (or) fees from the organization." Thus, three criminal cases were initiated against him. Mavrodi himself said that he did not admit his guilt in any of the acts incriminated to him.
On September 15, 2003, the preliminary hearing in one of Mavrodi's criminal cases - the charge of using a fake passport - in the Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow was almost immediately postponed indefinitely without setting a date for a subsequent hearing. According to lawyer Hakob Khachaturyan, his client, firstly, did not have time to get acquainted with the case materials, and secondly, this court decision may affect the verdict on the main charge - fraud. The total volume of materials of the criminal case is 600-900 volumes[36][37][38].
On October 5, 2003, the Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow began considering the case of the founder of the famous financial pyramid. Earlier, he was charged under part 1 of Article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: "Organization of forgery of documents." According to the current legislation, Sergei Mavrodi was threatened with up to three years in prison[36].
On December 2, 2003, the Khamovniki Court of Moscow found Mavrodi guilty of organizing a forgery of a passport and sentenced him to one year and one month in prison. The Investigative Committee previously singled out this case as a separate proceeding from the main criminal case related to fraud in the framework of MMM activities [source not specified 1887 days].
On January 27, 2004, the Investigative Committee closed the criminal case on the fact of tax evasion against Russia's most famous "pyramid builder" due to the expiration of the statute of limitations for this category of crimes. At the same time, the investigators intended to bring to court the main case on Mavrodi's charge of fraud on an especially large scale[37].
On February 3, 2004, Mavrodi was charged with fraud. Until January 31, 2006[39] Mavrodi got acquainted with 610 volumes (250-270 pages each [source not specified 3695 days]) of his criminal case, after which the court hearings on the main case began.
On March 9, 2006, the main case of the former head of the MMM was sent to the Chertanovsky District Court of Moscow for consideration.

In 1989, he founded the MMM cooperative, which traded in imported office equipment - imported computers and components into the USSR - and did not engage in financial activities[15]. Over time, several dozens of commercial structures were created for various activities. In 1992, the MMM joint-stock company was registered, which later became the largest financial pyramid in the history of Russia, from which, according to various estimates, from 10 to 15 million people suffered[1]sued.
Political activity
On August 4, 1994, Sergei Mavrodi was arrested for
accusation of concealing income from the company headed by him CJSC "Invest-Consulting"[26]. While in prison, he registered as a candidate for deputy[11]. In September, he was nominated as a candidate for the State Duma in by-elections in the Mytishchi district of Moscow, after which he was released
On October 30, 1994, Mavrodi was elected a member of the Russian parliament[16], after which he wrote an official statement about the refusal of the deputy salary and all deputy privileges: benefits, dachas, company car. Sergei Panteleevich never hid that he was going to the deputies solely for the sake of parliamentary immunity[6]. From the moment of his election as a deputy of the State Duma, Mavrodi attended only one of its meetings[27].
At the very beginning of the conflict with the authorities, Sergei Panteleevich officially, through the press, threatened them with a nationwide referendum, raising the question of distrust of the authorities. Mavrodi promised to collect the necessary million signatures from 10 million depositors in a week. According to Sergei, he was later allegedly repeatedly invited to the Kremlin "for negotiations", but consistently ignored all such invitations[14].
A year later, on October 6, 1995, the deputies of the State Duma terminated his deputy powers ahead of schedule[16]. The following year, he again ran for the Duma from the "People's Capital Party", but he lost these elections[26].
On January 10, 1996, the Central Election Commission registered authorized representatives of the initiative group that nominated Mavrodi as a candidate for the President of Russia, but later rejected a significant part of the signature sheets in support of the candidate and refused to register him. Moreover, a criminal case was initiated against Mavrodi for forging signature sheets, which, however, was later closed due to the "lack of corpus delicti". However, he was no longer able to participate in the elections[26].
At the end of 2011, it turned out that the People's Capital Party had not been closed. Only after that its activities were formally stopped.
Sergey Panteleevich Mavrodi (11 August 1955 – 26 March 2018) was a Russian financial fraudster, financial criminal and previously a deputy of the State Duma.
