Heavenly punishment or retribution
A person subconsciously believes in the highest justice. Even from an atheist you can hear: "God will punish him." And in reality, what is often happening seems to testify that somewhere there, above, there is a supreme judge, who knows and sees everything, who rewards what he deserves for everything good and bad.
This can be especially pronounced when retribution overtakes criminals who escaped punishment at one time.
For example, Jean-David No, better known by the nickname François Olone, goes down in the history of Caribbean piracy as one of the most brutal filibusters.
Once, having captured another Spanish frigate, he learned that the Cuban governor had given the order to execute all the filibusters who fell into the hands of the Spaniards.
Olone was furious and personally beheaded all the Spanish prisoners. Rumor has it that at the same time he licked blood from his own saber and commented on the difference in taste.
After some time, François Olone distinguished himself on land, capturing the city of Gibraltar, which he plundered. But fate has already determined the hour of reckoning for Olone and his comrades.
The traveler and writer A. Eksquemelin told about his fate: “… God no longer wants to help such people, and he decided to punish Olone with the most terrible death for all the cruelties he had perpetrated on many unfortunate people. Olone and his men were in the hands of the cannibalistic savages. They tore them to shreds, fried and ate them."

Vengeance for Ivanov
The main revolutionary villain of tsarist Russia is considered to be a volunteer at St. Petersburg University, Sergei Nechaev.
1869 - he created a secret organization "People's Repression" (or "Ax Society"), its purpose was to prepare the workers 'and peasants' revolution by reprisals against all the unwanted.
But of the real atrocities, Nechaev managed to commit only one - the murder of one of the members of his organization, student Ivan Ivanov, (November 21) on December 3, 1869 in Moscow in Petrovsky Park.
Ivanov's fault was that he did not feel special piety for the leader, he could argue with him and ask uncomfortable questions. The last straw, which overflowed the cup of Nechaev's patience, was Ivanov's question about what the money he had collected for the revolution was spent on. Nechaev answered sternly:
- The committee knows everything!
- Aren't you, Sergei Gennadievich, this very Committee? - Ivanov grinned.
After which Nechaev decided to execute him exemplarily. One of his henchmen asked Ivanov to help him unearth a typographic type, supposedly buried in a remote grotto. The unsuspecting Ivan Ivanov agreed.
When Ivanov entered the grotto, three people attacked him. One held hands, the second strangled, and Nechaev shot him in the head. After that, bricks were tied to the body of the murdered and pushed into the hole. But the corpse floated up and with outstretched arms clung under the ice. This is how it was discovered.
Nechaev was sentenced to 20 years in hard labor for the murder of Ivanov. By the personal order of the emperor, instead of being sent to Siberia, the criminal was forever imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress, where he died of consumption 10 years later. By a mystical coincidence - on the anniversary of his crime, i.e. (November 21) December 3, 1882.
Another mystical coincidence occurred in the fate of Nechaev's closest accomplice, Pyotr Uspensky. He served his term in hard labor in Eastern Siberia. 1881 - Ouspensky, together with other convicts, undertook to dig an underground escape hole. But the escape failed - the guard found the hole.
The suspicion immediately arose that there was an informer among the fugitives. The Kiev underground fighter Ignatius Ivanov, sentenced to indefinite hard labor, for some reason immediately decided that Ouspensky was the traitor. His comrades supported him.
Uspensky was strangled in a bathhouse, in a small nook behind the stove, and then hanged, staged a suicide.
Heavenly punishment
Lithuanian Pranas Brazinskas was very fond of money. Therefore, he chose his profession in the field of trade, where this same money in the Soviet Union was the easiest to get.
But the socialist system did not want to give him the opportunity to get rich: Pranas was convicted twice for economic crimes.
After another release, Brazinskas decided that it was time for him to move to the West. He managed to drive this idea into the head of his son Algirdas. Moreover, the father was able to convince his son that on the way to the goal you can even walk over corpses.
1970, October 15 - Brazinskasa father and son attempted to hijack a plane. Breaking through to the cockpit, Pranas shot 19-year-old flight attendant Nadia Kurchenko. After injuring the pilots, they forced them to land the plane in Turkey.
The terrorists were taken under their wing by the American special services, trying to make them a symbol of the struggle of the Soviet people against the communist regime. They transported them to the United States, where they provided them with housing and money. But in the "capitalist paradise" the Brazinskas did not find happiness.
30 years after the crime they committed, the goddess of retribution, Nemesis, remembered them. Father and son quarreled, and Algirdas killed his father, after which he was sent to prison.
In this tragic denouement of the fate of Pranas Brazinskas, there was some kind of supreme justice. As if he was overtaken by retribution for the murder of such a young and courageous flight attendant Nadya Kurchenko.
Something similar happened to other hijackers of the plane - members of the Ovechkin family. They also tried to hijack the plane to the West and, in doing so, shot and killed Tamara Zharkaya, a flight attendant. Five Ovechkins committed suicide during the storming of the plane by special forces, so only two of the terrorist family - Igor and Olga - sat on the dock.
The court sentenced them to 8 and 6 years in prison, respectively. After serving half of the term, both were released. But freedom did not bring them happiness. After some time, Igor was again in prison for drug trafficking and died at the hands of a cellmate. And Olga was stabbed to death by a roommate during a drunken quarrel.
There is no escape from fate
Heavenly punishment overtook the criminals who committed the only successful robbery of a cash-in-transit vehicle in Yekaterinburg in the first half of the 1990s. This crime was organized by a bank employee with her lover, a private security officer who was responsible for transporting money.
The woman told her lover when a large sum of money would be transported from the bank. And he took possession of this money, killing his comrades and hijacking a collector's car.
Photos of robbers-lovers were hung on all police tables in Yekaterinburg, but the criminals were never caught. It seemed that they, like in a movie, bask in the sun on some paradise islands and enjoy life. But the reality turned out to be instructive and cruel.
After a while, they found out that the lovers did not go abroad, but settled in St. Petersburg with forged documents. But a lot of money, stained with blood, did not bring them happiness. The former policeman tried to do business and went bankrupt, then invested a large sum in a certain financial pyramid and also went bankrupt.
Money flowed through our fingers, and this only added fuel to the fire during the increasing domestic scandals with the mistress, who was a living reminder of the murder.
Some time later, the former bank employee was found hanged in the apartment. According to one version, her lover helped her in this. And soon he put a bullet in his head himself. What became the reason for such an act will forever remain a mystery, whether the pangs of conscience, or the ghosts of murdered comrades.
The pistol from which the suicide was committed was “punched” at the base of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and it was found out that it was assigned to the OVO at the Sverdlovsk Regional Internal Affairs Directorate. It was from him that the "werewolf in uniform" shot his colleagues. And a year later he shot himself a bullet in the forehead from the same barrel.
To all the bullet brothers
As you know, the most brutal US gangster is Kate "Ma" Barker.
The gang was based on her four sons: Arthur, Fred, Herman and Lloyd, of whom the mother raised the ruthless killers. They robbed banks and at the same time killed everyone who tried to show them even the slightest resistance.
It is highly symbolic that none of them died a natural death. Herman was shot dead in 1927, Arthur in 1936 while trying to escape from prison in Chicago. 1935, October 16 - Kate and Fred were ambushed by a police officer and killed.
The only surviving member of the Lloyd gang was sentenced to 25 years in prison. 2 years after his early release, he was shot by his own wife.
