AUE (or A. U. E.) is a Russian informal, well hidden, and vague organization of criminal bands, mainly consisting of children and youths (below the lawful age), often indirectly ruled by adult criminals.[1]

The acronym, transcribed from Russian: АУЕ or А.У.Е., comes from Арестантский уклад\устав един or Арестантское уркаганское единство, which can be translated to English as Convict’s/Prisoner’s Practice/(way of life, law)/Codex is Unified/Universal/Uniform, or Prisoner’s/Convict’s Urka/(career con)/Thug Unity/Solidarity.

The AUE story started in 2000 but surfaced only recently.[2]

Time line

In 2013, in the city of Chita, Zabaykalsky Krai (Transbaykal region), mass riots broke up in professional/technical colleges (vocational colleges) number 6 and 14.[3] A hostage situation was reported.[4] Around 100 policemen took part into anti-mob operation there; 30 youngsters (2 of them girls) were detained, and 1 million rubles damage was reported.[5][6] Authorities had linked it with AUE influence.[7][8][9][10][11]

In the Republic of Buryatiya, in the village Maliy Kunaley, the local parade on the Victory Day (officially celebrated 9th of May in Russia) ended violently when the mass of people came close to the state foster house (local orphanage). Three boys from this foster house (two of them had prior criminal records, the other under current criminal investigation) started to throw stones at the policemen. Three police officers were injured.[12]

AUE criminal activity was uncovered in December 2016 in the state military Guard cadet corps in the town of Usolye-Sibirskoye, Irkutsk region. One cadet charged with racketeering escaped, and asked a teacher for help; they both went to the police but corps managers denied the whole story. The teacher was later fired.[13] The director of the corps, Igor Pimenov, was previously working as a prison director and employed 17 former convicts for work in the corps.[14]

Official reaction

The President Council for Civil Society Development and Human Rights has reported that AUE criminal organization took control of educational institutions in 18 regions of Russia: Republic Buryatia, Moscow, Chelyabinsk, Ulyanovsk, and Tver regions, Zabaykalsky and Stavropol Krai.[15][16][17]
