A resident of Taldom listened to his partner and hid under the roof

The story began with a gadget disguised as a DVR, and ended with a fine and a lawsuit: a 57-year-old resident of Taldom secretly recorded a cohabitant, and after parting climbed into her house and waited in the attic

A real scout must be able to dissolve in a situation. Nikolai Tyshchenko from Taldom failed the situation: it was possible to dissolve only in the attic, and to get out - only through the window. The man, apparently, sincerely believed that the private life of the former cohabitant is his personal archive, and her attic is a convenient partisan base. The court disagreed with this interpretation. On Tuesday, November 10, reported in the press service of the Prosecutor’s office of the Moscow region.

The verdict of 57-year-old Nikolai Tyshchenko was announced by the magistrate of the court district No. 330 of the Taldom judicial district. The man was found guilty under two articles: Part 1 of Art. 139 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (illegal entry into the dwelling against the will of the person living in it) and Part 1 of Art. 137 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (violation of privacy). If you retell this without protocol language, you get the plot of a detective book.

The court found: from 2024 to 2025, Tyshchenko visited the house of the victim in the SNT “Sorokino” of the Taldom city district not empty-handed – there he left a hidden digital recorder. For reliability, the device was hidden in the case of the DVR: the device had to quietly record conversations and collect information about the privacy of the partner. The hope was that no one would notice. Apparently, Tyshchenko sincerely believed that the DVR in the house is like a spy pen in a movie: lies in a prominent place, and no one guesses. Guess what.

When the relationship ended, in September 2025, a man climbed over the fence and illegally entered the victim’s house. According to the prosecutor's office, the goal was prosaic - to collect their personal belongings. To remain unnoticed, he hid in the attic, and after a while left the house through the window. The attic as a shelter and a window instead of an exit - the plan, frankly, is not the most reliable, but a one-man partisan detachment acted according to its own understanding.

During the operational-search activities, the man was detained. The case reached the Taldom City Prosecutor’s Office: the indictment was approved and sent to court. The public prosecutor supported the position and the magistrate issued a guilty verdict.

The penalty is a fine of 100 thousand rubles. In addition, the court granted the civil claim of the victim for compensation for moral damage for 205 thousand. The sentence has not entered into legal force - the convict has the right to appeal it. But it seems that the attic spy has already drawn conclusions: intelligence came out sideways.
