Life

Ochotins father was poruchik the Imperial Russian Army and died in 1916. His mother, Nadezhda Mikhailovna married in 1919 the head of the Chita Region Police Alexander Petrovich Melnikov. In 1920 the family emigrated to Manchuria during the Russian Civil War .

Ochotin studied at the Harbin Pedagogical Institute . In 1932 he saw Konstantin Wladimirowitsch Rodsajewski for the first time at a lecture in the Russian Club. At the end of 1933, Okhotin joined the All-Russian Fascist Party (WFP). In 1934 he became personally acquainted with Rodsajewski. In 1935 he became secretary and then head of the WFP's office in Harbin. At the end of 1936 he became head of the WFP's organizational department. His wife Nina Grigoryevna led the Russian Fascist Women's Movement from 1936 to 1943. In 1937, Okhotin became a member of the WFP's Supreme Council (until 1943).

On September 7, 1945 Ochotin was from SMERSH arrested. After investigation by the organs of SMERSH and the Ministry of State Security , the Chairman of the Military College opened the Supreme Court of the USSR Vassily Ulrich on 26 August 1946 trial of Grigory Semyonov , Rodsajewski, Lew Filippowitsch Wlassjewski , Alexei Proklowitsch Bakschejew , Ivan Adrianowitsch Mikhailov , Okhotin, Nikolai Alexandrovich Uchtomski and Boris Nikolayevich Shepunov , about which the press reported in detail. The charges were anti-Soviet propaganda , espionage against the USSR , sabotage and terrorism . All of the defendants pleaded guilty. On August 30, 1946, all of the defendants were found guilty. Because of their comparatively minor role in anti-Soviet activities, Okhotin was sentenced to 15 years and Uchtomsky to 20 years of forced labor in katorga . Okhotin was sent to a logging camp in the Khabarovsk region, where he died two years later.

On March 26, 1998, the Military College of the Supreme Court of the USSR reviewed the convictions of the defendants other than the Semyonovs. While the RSFSR's Article 58 Criminal Code for anti-Soviet propaganda was overturned due to the lack of evidence, the remainder of the verdict was upheld with the respective sentences.
