The boy went to success, it didn’t work out, it didn’t work out- a phrase from a video about Perm gopniks who brutally killed a man for the sake of a radio and a car. Used in situations where a person has failed or his success is very doubtful.

Origin

On September 22, 2006, the owner of one of the garages in Perm came across the disfigured corpse of 29-year-old Mikhail Goldin. Three teenagers were accused of brutal murder: Ildar Mursalimov, Alexander Huseynov (nicknamed Chocolate) and Artem Kataev. At that time they were between 16 and 18 years old.

The guys dealt with a man who agreed to give them a ride in his car. On March 29, 2006, the court found all suspects guilty and sentenced them to 19, 10 and 8 years in prison, respectively.

This story would have remained unnoticed if not for the video of the local TV channel with a report from the court. The guys behaved calmly, said hello to friends, joked. They did not realize their guilt and wondered why the jury treated them without leniency.

One of the accomplices noticed that his friend Huseynov (Chocolate) was innocent of the crime, and uttered the phrase that later became a meme: “Chocolate is not to blame for anything. The kid went to success, it didn’t work out, it didn’t work out.”

In 2011, Huseynov was released on parole. A new interview came out with him, in which the former prisoner told how he relates to dubious fame and the meme “The kid was going to success”.

Meaning

The meme “The kid went to success” is used in an ironic way in order to point out someone's failures or dubious achievements.

Huseynov was convicted in 2008. Together with two friends, they killed a 29-year-old man, inflicting numerous stab wounds on him and firing point-blank test shots from an air pistol. The perpetrators also stole a car from the victim, the father of a one and a half year old child. Law enforcement officers later returned the car to the widow of the victim. Two teenagers were sentenced to eight and ten years in prison, the adult initiator of the murder - to 19.

“Chocolate is not to blame for anything, guys, in kind. In kind, the kid went to success. It didn’t work out, it didn’t work out,” one of the convicts told reporters in the courtroom. Video with comments of young people then became an Internet meme.

Huseynov served in the colony for more than five years. The basis for parole was his exemplary behavior.

The media report that during this period Huseynov met by phone with a girl with whom he intends to marry freely.

"Strangers started sending me hundreds of messages with threats and insults, trying to make my life even worse," Huseynov told reporters about his unpleasant fame.

According to him, he received the nickname Chocolate at school age, when he arrived from the south very tanned.

"When a friend said about me, 'the kid went to success, he didn't get lucky,' he meant sad things. My life was divided into before and after this whole story," Huseynov said. He expressed the hope that over time people will forget about his past.

There are people who have dreamed of being famous since childhood and are trying to achieve this goal in every possible way, and there are those to whom popularity comes absolutely by accident. We are talking about the unwitting creators of Internet memes. Often we don’t even know what their names are in real life, but the phrases they said or the funny grimaces of these random “stars” sink into the souls of millions. What happened to "Yazem", the girl who was deprived of the holiday, and the criminal Chocolate, tells AiF.ru.

"No holiday"

It was: The first of September became for Asya Petryaeva real tragedy. The teacher accidentally closed the girl in the classroom, and while the schoolgirl was trying to get out, her classmates were congratulated on the holiday and presented with balloons. Such injustice brought Asya to tears. At the very moment when the child began to sob and resent, a journalist from one of the channels approached her. On the Internet, a video with a first-grader gained a huge number of views and was called "No holiday."

Now: Asya successfully graduated from the same school in Kaluga, which deprived her of her “holiday”. By the way, Petryaeva's graduation was much more successful than September 1. A few years ago, in the media, the girl said that she was going to move to Moscow and would like to master the specialty "organization of mass events." However, Asya’s Instagram, which, by the way, has more than 3,000 subscribers, says that she is a philologist.

"Ide"

It was: When an ordinary fisherman Viktor Goncharenko caught the "fish of his dreams" - a kilogram ide, and shared his sincere emotions about this on the Internet, he not only gave rise to a new meme "YAAAAZ!", but also launched a wave of a huge number of parodies on his own video. Since then, the nickname Ide has been firmly entrenched in Victor himself.

It became: Thanks to the video, Victor became a real star. First, he was invited to host the culinary show “Ide. Reboot”, and then the program “Ide against food” on the TV channel “Russia-2”. The new profession helped the former policeman and father of four children see the world and visit more than 20 countries! However, the television projects did not last long, the Internet star had to quickly return to normal life - the shooting was replaced by work as a fireman at a local college. Goncharenko himself is not very sad about this, moreover, sometimes he acts as an expert on various TV channels and even records paid birthday greetings from Yaz.

"On the bottom"

It was: Thanks to Andrei Malakhov, the story of rape Diana Shurygina well known throughout the country. During one of the broadcasts, the guest of the studio tried to ask the girl how much vodka she drank during the ill-fated party at which everything happened. Shurygina accompanied her answer “on the bottom” with a demonstration of the amount of alcohol consumed, which gave rise to a new phrase-meme.

It became: While the public in heated debates tried to understand whether the poor girl was raped, or she simply slandered an innocent young man, Diana married a cameraman Andrey Shlyagin. The couple tied the knot just three months after they met. In addition, Shurygina went to the singer and, together with the performer Sasha Aktom recorded the song "Flew". However, the track did not bring her much popularity. Apparently, for this reason, Diana now and then tries to break into the federal channels with "hot" topics. She recently accused her husband of cheating and tested him with a lie detector in the program "Actually".

Harold hiding pain

It was: The strangely smiling grandfather, whose photo can be seen in a variety of articles and advertisements, has become popular all over the world thanks to Russia. It is in our country that the Hungarian Andras Arato dubbed "Hide the Pain Harold".

It became: Today Arato is quite a popular character in social networks. He has a small content creation team that is trying to monetize Harold's popularity. Also, Andras is behind the shooting of a video for the Cloud 9+ group and a commercial for the Manchester City football club. By the way, in May of this year, the famous meme grandfather visited Moscow, this is his second visit to the capital, before that he came to Russia 30 years ago.

"The boy went to success"

It was: Popularity caught up Alexandra Huseynova nicknamed Chocolate not just anywhere, but in the courtroom. In 2006, local television filmed a report about the brutal murder of a 29-year-old taxi driver, which included three young people, Alexander was among them. However, in the process it turned out that he himself did not take a direct part in the crime. Trying to defend the honor of a friend, one of the convicts Artem Kataev said a phrase that eventually went to the people: “Chocolate is not to blame for anything, boys, in kind! The boy was on his way to success. It didn’t work out, it didn’t work out…”.

It became: In 2013, Alexander was released on parole. The young man said that while he was in prison, he met a girl on the phone and was going to start a family with her.

"Borschik and sausages"

It was: “A good borsch with cabbage, but not red, sausages, there is also some kind of incomprehensible salad, where they chop carrots, cabbage, apples with pineapples, in general, it infuriates me ...”, so colorful with a slight touch of pathos in his voice Nikita Litvinkov talked about what he was fed in the school cafeteria. Already in the evening, the young man’s television debut was seen by the entire native Korolev, and then the video migrated to the Internet.

It became: Nikita served in the army, graduated from the Musical College, plays two instruments - accordion and piano. From Korolev, near Moscow, the young man moved to Voronezh, where he works at the local House of Culture. In modern photos, it is very difficult to recognize the young man from the video - the long, flowing hair of the once Youtube star was replaced by a short, restrained haircut.

Sentenced to two years in prison for creating Titanium, a tool with which hackers staged powerful attacks on computer systems around the world. Lenta.ru tells how a guy who almost never left the house and suffered from attacks by classmates managed to set up a profitable business right from his bedroom and went to jail for developing dangerous cyber weapons.

When 20-year-old Adam Mudd heard that he was going to prison because of his extraordinary abilities, no emotion showed on his face. At the trial, he admitted that he really developed Titanium Stresser - a tool that was literally idolized by the most seasoned hackers. It was used to attack nearly two million websites in the US , Russia and Chile .

In 2014, Mudd, already fed up with stupid college classmates, noticed that he had been robbed. Naturally, this upset him, but he hoped that the police would find the perpetrators and return the things to him. After he realized that no one was going to seriously investigate, he just came home and took down 70 educational sites in the area. He caused trouble for his college and, apparently, for fun, hooked on the University of Cambridge.

At the age of 16, a failing schoolboy launched his program in full force and began to rent it out based on his own business strategy. He calculated a separate price for each attack depending on its duration, and in case of a complex process, he sold premium accounts. All this worked like clockwork, and Mudd spent days sitting at the computer in his bedroom.

It seems that the parents did not even suspect that their son is a born programmer who earns a lot of money on his talent. They naively believed that the teenager did not get along with classmates and was immersed in computer games. He was expelled from college, he practically did not leave the house and, as it turned out only in court, suffered from Asperger's syndrome. Mudd's father and mother found out about their son's dark deeds only when the police broke into their house. They demanded that the guy unlock the computer, and he yielded only to his father's persuasion.

Yes, he made a lot of money on Titanium, but he didn't seem to care much. When Madd turned eighteen, there were already more than 400 thousand pounds sterling (more than 28 million rubles) on his balance sheet, but the family did not know about it. He did not buy anything for himself, but only saved money and improved the software.

At the final meeting, Judge Michael Topolsky was clearly favorably disposed towards Mudd: he repeatedly emphasized that the boy grew up in a good, respected family and early showed extraordinary abilities. In his speech, Topolsky assured the guy that in the future he would make a brilliant career as a programmer and the special services needed him, but he would spend the next two years in prison.

In the UK, as in most countries, the Mudd tool is not illegal. This is the so-called stresser - a program for checking the stability of resources. The creator of the load server is only liable if he knowingly sells services to hackers who cause damage.

The Titanium stresser in the hacker environment was quickly recognized as extremely convenient: it automatically overloaded the desired site with standard queries, which made it possible to quickly disable it. Some stressors are used to test the performance of the site, but Mudd understood that strangers were paying him big money not for the sake of the test, but to commit real crimes.

For those interested in how Titanium Stresser works, the 15-year-old came up with a winning marketing solution: the first attack could be done for free, though only for 60 seconds and at one level.

But the owners of a paid account could use the tool for various attacks at several levels. As a bonus, there were “useful” things: software for “bombing” email addresses with letters, a program for determining the IP address, and other tricks to track the victim. For premium clients, the student came up with such nice options as parallel double load on the victims' servers.

The attackers transferred money to bitcoin wallets or using a prepaid PaySafeCard. Clients could use the stresser to attack the victim from 100 seconds ($3) to 30,000 seconds ($70).

The bedroom business created by Mudd brought a steady income and, more importantly, finally allowed the teenager to feel like a significant, respected figure. He was available at any time of the day and independently worked as a technical support.

It's possible that Mudd's little case could have continued to go unnoticed by law enforcement if his product hadn't been used to attack Sony and Microsoft servers at some point. The British stresser showed himself worthy and from 2013 to 2015 several times left offline the game servers used by the owners of the PlayStation and Xbox. Later, the court clarified that Titanium was used to attack Minecraft, Runsca e and TeamS eak.

The American journalist and information security specialist Brian Krebs drew attention to the Mudd case. He said that the authorities of many countries are already fighting stressors. While the programs themselves are not against the law, more than 30 people have been arrested in the United States and Europe since December 2016 for distributing them.

The journalist recalled how once his investigation about the "fighters against corporations" - the hacker group Lizard Squad - brought him to the Finnish teenager Julius Kivimaki, who, as part of the group, committed more than 50 thousand cybercrimes. The guy gave himself away when, in an interview with Sky News, he praised hackers for attacking the servers of the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The young scammers were proud that they were able to bring down such a big player, "who collects a lot of money from users for a subscription."

In July 2015, Kivimaki was sentenced to two years in prison. The judge, as in the case of Mudd, after serving time recommended the guy to fight cybercrime. Finn joined the hacker community at the age of 15 and, both the defense and the prosecution felt, could well have pursued a career on the light side, having considered his actions during his imprisonment.

The Mudd case was widely reported in the UK: local authorities insist that it is not the guy who is to blame for this situation, but the people around him, the lack of education and the carelessness of his parents. At the final meeting, the judge, it seems, sincerely regretted that he read out the guilty verdict, and repeated more than once that the abilities of talented children just need to be redirected in the right direction in time.

“The case of Adam Mudd is only regrettable, because this young man is obviously very gifted, but he chose to trade his talent for personal gain at the expense of other people's suffering. We just want to make it clear that the real sentence for a minor is not our personal whim, but the desire to teach young people to be responsible for their actions. It is important that other equally gifted students understand this before they embark on the path of crime. Parents, if your children do not leave the room, at least take an interest in what they are doing on the Internet, ”the message from the local police says.

Ildar Mursalimov was known as a leader in the company. He put forward ideas, he planned the attack on the driver of the car, distributed the roles in advance. During a search in his apartment, a diary was found, the entries in which testified: a law-abiding lifestyle was not about him. Mursalimov was attracted by the thieves' world, life according to thieves' - steep, from his point of view, laws. On September 12, the ideological inspirer called his friends and made an appointment. The guys walked along the road along Startseva Street. Voted. Vasily Mamontov, senior investigator of the prosecutor's office of the Sverdlovsk district of Perm: - They were not interested in a specific car model. Stopped first<Фольксваген>, not new. Mursalimov spoke with the owner of the car. Apparently, they did not agree on the price, so the foreign car left. Slowed down next<Жигули>Goldin. Again, Mursalimov spoke to the driver. This time he liked both the car and the state of the interior. Artem Kataev told the investigator in more detail about the events of that evening: - When Ildar sat down, what did he say to the man? - Come on, he says, take me to Zagarya. Here's 100 rubles for you. Let's go to Yubileiny. - What was the plan? - Stop by the garages. One kid had to go out for a little need. To stop the car. After Alexander Huseynov left, Mursalimov, sitting in the back seat, attacked the driver with a knife. Mikhail Goldin begged for mercy, asked not to kill, because he had a small child. He said that he would give everything. Ildar coolly continued to strike, dropping:<Да, ты отдашь мне все!>There is one more moment in this tragic story that cannot be ignored. When Huseynov got out of the car, he did not close the door tightly, the light was on in the cabin. Therefore, everything that happens in black<пятнашке>saw the drivers passing by cars. Vasily Mamontov: - Well, they didn't want to stop themselves - but you could just call 02. In this case, the police officers would have checked what kind of car was standing on the side of the road, what kind of young people were spinning around it. A person is being killed, but here there is such indifference... After Mursalimov stopped beating the driver with a knife, Kataev stepped in. He fired six times from a pneumatic pistol into the ear of the dying Goldin. Friends dragged the body to the garages, where Kataev stabbed the victim several times in the chest. The guys searched the dead man. They took out a pack of cigarettes, a cell phone worth more than 11 thousand, took off a silver chain with a cross and a watch. Mursalimov took away his driver's license, as well as a vehicle registration certificate. After the corpse was thrown with branches, garbage. The killers prudently removed the covers, threw them on the road, tried to cover up the traces in the car, but they did it poorly. Ildar called a friend with whom he agreed in advance about the garage. The trophy was moved to Gorlovskaya street. The criminal case in the Perm Regional Court was heard with the participation of jurors, who insisted<самый продуманный>of the killers - Mursalimov. The trinity was found guilty by the verdict of the jury. The actions of all defendants are qualified as robbery. Mursalimov and Kataev were found guilty of murder by a group of persons with particular cruelty. Huseynov - in complicity. Ildar Mursalimov was very lucky: at the time of the murder he was not yet 18 years old, the age of majority<идеолог>crime reached a month later. He was given the maximum possible: 10 years in prison with serving a sentence in a penal colony. 18-year-old Artem Kataev, who received 19 years in a strict regime colony, was indignant. Alexander Huseynov was sentenced to 8 years of imprisonment in a penal colony. Kataev (after the announcement of the verdict): - I am dissatisfied with my term. I didn't kill. All the innocent are here. We only confessed to robbery. I didn't see who killed the man at all. Ildar Mursalimov (keep calm): - Soon, in five or six years, I will be free. I wish health to relatives and friends. I did not commit this crime. And everything will return to normal. I am a positive person, decent, why keep me in prison. Alexander Huseynov (the one who got out of the car<по нужде>): - I got it for nothing at all and I'm sitting for nothing at all! I will have to live in this filthy prison for 8 years. Prison is not a place of correction, but a school for new crimes! When interviewing a correspondent of one of the TV channels, the convict said the phrase from behind bars: " Chocolate is not to blame! The boy went to success". In full confidence that the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation will cancel the unfair verdict, the friends left the courtroom. Today, Marisha Goldina plays hide and seek with her mother. From now on, the girl will know her father only from photographs. The young widow Olga believes that Misha sees them from the other world : - There was still a connection between us. We had a very great love. We have known each other since we were 18, it was love at first sight ... The verdict has not entered into force - the convicts are waiting for an answer to their complaint sent to the Supreme Court.
