Kotovsky. In the first episode of the film, Liquidation, the phrase sounds: Everyone is I, Gotsman. In fact, this is a rephrasing of the words of the famous raider Kotovsky and they sounded: Everyone to stand, I am Kotovsky. Kotovsky led a gang that robbed and repaired robbery. He was caught and convicted. There is a myth that after the death sentence was announced in the city courthouse, he escaped through the window, the Potemkin stairs and swam along mine to Peresepi, and only there he was caught. In fact, all 4 months between the announcement of the verdict and before its enforcement, he was in prison and wrote plaintive letters full of love lyrics, letters to the wife of the governor. He was in no hurry to execute. Red came. He was in no hurry to surrender to them with giblets and each time put forward new conditions for cooperation. So, he became chairman of the prisoners' union. He rose to the rank of Deputy Minister of Defense - Deputy Commissar Frunze. But in the end he was shot, because the councils did not cancel any sentence or court decision of the old government in advance. Killer Kotovsky became Zayder Meer. Translated with Google Translate
