Aeroflot Flight 3739 was a Soviet domestic passenger flight from Irkutsk to Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) with a stopover in Kurgan. On March 8, 1988, after the Tupolev Tu-154 operating the flight had left Kurgan for Leningrad, it was hijacked by the Ovechkin family, whose members sought an escape from the Soviet Union. The hijackers demanded the crew fly the aircraft to London.〔 The flight engineer persuaded the hijackers to allow a stopover in Finland for refueling.〔 The aircraft in fact landed at the Soviet military airbase Veshchevo, near the Finnish border, where it was stormed by the incident response team of the Soviet interior ministry.〔 During the incident four hostages died and five hijackers committed suicide. Two surviving prosecutable members of the Ovechkin family were sentenced to eight and six years in prison, respectively. One of the crew was awarded the Order of the Red Banner as a result of the incident.〔 ==Background== At the time of the incident the Ovechkin family consisted of 13 members: mother Nina (Ninel) and her eleven children (seven sons and four daughters). One of the daughters, Lyudmila, did not participate in the hijacking as she was married and lived separately, in another city.〔 After giving birth to the 10th of her 11 children, Ninel Ovechkina was awarded the Soviet distinction of "Mother Heroine". Following the death of her husband Dmitry in 1984, she raised her children by herself in Irkutsk. The boys started a local music band called the Seven Simeons. Following the band's tour in Japan the Ovechkins decided to leave the Soviet Union and settle abroad. Because it was almost impossible for ordinary Soviet citizens – and particularly for a music band – to legally emigrate, the Ovechkins decided to hijack an aircraft. They left a note claiming they were going to meet relatives〔 and boarded a Tu-154B airliner belonging to Aeroflot, flying from Irkutsk to Leningrad.
