The FSB generals who currently lead this service form the basis of this key structure, which is designed to ensure the national security of the state. in its current state, it was formed in 1995, since then its leaders have received the closest attention.
Director of the FSB of Russia
Only FSB generals currently hold key leadership positions in this department. There are no lower-ranking military personnel in the positions of either first deputies or deputy service directors.
The Russian FSB is currently headed by Alexander Vasilievich Bortnikov. He has held this post since May 2008, after his predecessor Nikolai Platonovich Patrushev resigned.
Bortnikov was born in 1951 in the city of Molotov, which was the name of Perm at that time. He is a graduate of the Institute of Railway Transport Engineers, from which he graduated in Leningrad. In 1975 he graduated from the KGB Higher School. It was then that he began serving in state security agencies. Oversaw counterintelligence operations units. He remained in this area of service even after the liquidation of the KGB and the formation of the FSB of Russia.
In 2003, Alexander Vasilievich Bortnikov headed the regional department for the Leningrad region and the city of St. Petersburg. Then he headed the economic security service working within the department. In 2006, he received the rank of Colonel General of the FSB. According to some reports, he received the next rank of army general a few months later - in December of the same year.
In 2008, he headed the department, simultaneously holding the post of chairman of the national. He is a member of various government and interdepartmental commissions on a wide range of issues.
Vladimir Kulishov
In order to get the most complete picture of the leadership of the FSB department, let us dwell on the personalities of the first deputy directors of this department. There are currently two of them in total. All of them are generals of the Russian FSB.
Vladimir Kulishov has the rank of army general. He has served as first deputy director since March 2013. At the same time, he heads the Border Service of the Russian Federation, which is also part of the FSB structure.
Kulishov Vladimir Grigorievich was born in the Rostov region in 1957. He studied at the Institute of Civil Aviation Engineers, which was based in Kyiv. After receiving a higher education diploma, he worked at a civil aviation plant.
He joined the structure of state security agencies in 1982. By that time, Vladimir Grigorievich Kulishov had already graduated from the KGB Higher School. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he continued to serve in state security agencies. In 2000, he joined the central office of the Russian FSB.
Then for a year he headed the department for the Saratov region. Since 2004, he began to supervise the department for combating terrorism, and headed the FSB department for the Chechen Republic. Since 2008, he served as deputy director of the federal department. In 2013, he received the post of first deputy and headed the Border Service.
He served in Chechnya, has the Order of Military Merit and the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, III degree.
Sergey Smirnov
The FSB general is another first deputy director of the department. He comes from Chita, where he was born in 1950. In his infancy, the family moved to Leningrad, where he spent his childhood and youth. At school he was a classmate of Boris Gryzlov (ex-Minister of Internal Affairs and ex-Chairman of the State Duma) and Nikolai Patrushev (ex-Director of the Russian FSB).
He received his higher education at the Bonch-Bruevich Electrical Engineering Institute, which was opened in Leningrad. During my student years I was also closely acquainted with Gryzlov, they studied together again. Started working at the Central Research Institute of Communications.
He joined the structure of the KGB of the USSR in 1974. Since 1975 he has been working in the Leningrad administration. He first held operational and then management positions.
In 1998, he received a position in the central office of the FSB. Headed the department of internal security. In 2000, he became deputy director of the FSB, and since 2003, first deputy. He has the rank of Army General.
First head of the department
Throughout Russian history, 7 people have led the federal department of the FSB. The very first in 1993 was Colonel General Nikolai Mikhailovich Golushko. At that time, the structure was just being formalized and was officially called the Federal Counterintelligence Service of the Russian Federation.
Golushko stayed in this post for only two months, after which he was appointed by President Boris Yeltsin as an adviser to the director of the FSB. During the years of Soviet power he headed the KGB of the Ukrainian SSR.
Stepashin - Director of the FSB
In March 1994, Lieutenant General Sergei Vadimovich Stepashin became head of the Federal Counterintelligence Service. Under him, the Federal Security Service was founded in April 1995. Formally, he became the first director of the FSB of Russia. True, he spent only two and a half months in this position.
After that, he did not get lost in high government positions. Stepashin was the Minister of Justice, headed and held the post of first deputy and until 2013 headed the Accounts Chamber. Currently he heads the supervisory board of a state corporation that promotes the reform of the Russian housing and communal services.
FSB leadership in the 90s
In 1995, Army General Mikhail Ivanovich Barsukov came to the post of director of the FSB. He has been in the KGB system of the Soviet Union since 1964. He was the commandant of the Moscow Kremlin, and acted as a witness during the detention of the Deputy Prime Minister of one of the inspirers of the State Emergency Committee.
In the 90s, Barsukov was often criticized by his colleagues. In particular, accusing him of low professional qualities. For example, according to the former Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Anatoly Sergeevich Kulikov, Barsukov’s entire service was spent in the Kremlin, he was responsible for the security of the top officials of the state. Many believed that Barsukov ended up at the head of the security service only thanks to Yeltsin’s security chief, Alexander Korzhakov, who had a certain influence on the president.
In June 1996, he resigned after a scandal during Yeltsin's election campaign. His name is closely connected with the detention of activists from the presidential election headquarters, Lisovsky and Evstafiev, who tried to carry out half a million dollars in a paper box.
Director Nikolay Kovalev
In 1996, the service was headed by FSB General Nikolai Dmitrievich Kovalev. Unlike his predecessors, he spent a little more than two years in this post. Nikolai Kovalev has served in state security agencies since 1974. He was appointed to the post of FSB director after a scandal related to alleged violations of the rules of currency transactions and the conduct of Boris Yeltsin's presidential campaign in 1996.
During his time leading the service, Nikolai Kovalev managed to establish productive work of the department. Its employees began to appear less often in the press due to various scandals.
After being released from office, he became the people's representative from the third to the seventh convocation inclusive. He is a member of the United Russia faction and heads the expert council of the Officers of Russia organization.
Future President
Kovalev was replaced in July 1998 by the future Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. He was the only head of the department who by that time did not have a military rank. Putin was only a reserve colonel.
The future head of state found himself in the KGB system back in 1975, immediately after graduating from Leningrad State University. He ended up in the KGB by assignment.
Having become the head of the FSB, he appointed well-known Patrushev, Ivanov and Cherkesov as his deputies. Conducted a reorganization of the entire service. In particular, he abolished the economic counterintelligence department, and also eliminated the counterintelligence department for providing strategic facilities. Instead, he created six new departments. Achieved a significant increase in employee salaries and uninterrupted financing. It is interesting that Putin himself wished to be the first civilian director of the FSB, refusing the rank of major general, which Yeltsin proposed to give him.
Putin left the post of FSB director on August 9, becoming chairman of the government. Two days earlier, Chechen fighters under the command of Khattab and Basayev entered Dagestan. The creation of the Islamic State of Dagestan was proclaimed.
Already prime minister, Putin led the operation against the militants. In mid-September they were finally driven out of Dagestan.
Nikolay Patrushev
After Vladimir Putin moved to senior positions in the federal government, the FSB was headed by Nikolai Platonovich Patrushev. He held this post for 9 years.
Just during the period of his work there was a confrontation with militants and terrorists. The Federal Security Service began to occupy a key position in matters of ensuring the country's security.
Patrushev currently holds the post of Secretary of the Federal Security Council.
FSB General Ugryumov
Over the years, a large number of officers held the post of deputy director of the FSB. Perhaps the most notable of them was Admiral German Alekseevich Ugryumov. This is the only naval officer to hold such a high position.
Ugryumov is from Astrakhan and joined the Navy in 1967. In 1975 he found himself in the Soviet KGB system. Supervised a special department of the Caspian military flotilla. In the 90s, he became one of the initiators of the case against journalist Grigory Pasko, who was prosecuted for espionage.
As deputy director of the FSB, he oversaw the work of the Special Purpose Center. The famous special groups "Vympel" and "Alpha" belonged to this unit. Notable for carrying out counter-terrorism operations in the Chechen Republic. In particular, the release of Gudermes in 1999, the capture of one of the militant leaders Salman Raduev, and the release of hostages in the village of Lazorevsky are associated with his figure.
In May 2001, he was awarded the rank of admiral. The next day he died of a heart attack.
FSB general uniform
It is quite simple to distinguish the generals to whom our article is devoted by their form.
It was last changed in 2006. Now the uniform is a khaki color, distinguished by buttonholes and chevrons, as well as the cornflower blue color of the gaps on the shoulder straps.
In Moscow, two officers of the “M” department of the FSB were arrested, on the basis of whose reports a large-scale investigation is now being carried out at the FSIN, within the framework of which the deputy director of the prison department, Oleg Korshunov, was arrested. According to investigators, anti-corruption fighters in the security forces themselves participated in an illegal deal to alienate half of the assets of an enterprise that owned a construction market in the southeast of the capital. The counterintelligence officers who found themselves in the cells of the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center next to the officials they were developing deny their guilt in a particularly large-scale fraud.
The decision to take into custody Major Sergei Nikityuk and Captain Konstantin Strukov was made by the Moscow Garrison Military Court at the request of investigators from the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. According to investigators, back in 2016, both counterintelligence officers participated in a scam to alienate 50% of the assets of a commercial structure that owned a small construction market “On Ostapovskaya” (Ostapovskaya St., 1) not far from the Volgogradsky Prospekt metro station. Having learned that the city authorities were going to demolish several unsightly pavilions located on the market, the officers turned to the owner of the company, who, using their extensive connections in various structures, was offered to “resolve the issue” by preserving his business.
For this, according to the victim, they demanded that half of the company, whose authorized capital was 4.6 million rubles, be transferred to a third party. The entrepreneur was forced to agree, but for some reason the deal did not take place, and a little later half of the company was registered in the name of their candidate’s mother. Nevertheless, the authorities demolished the “On Ostapovskaya” market, and its owners were offered compensation of 90 million rubles. The old owner of the company, who would have had to share the money with his new partner, considered himself deceived and wrote a statement to law enforcement agencies. A criminal case for fraud on an especially large scale (Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) was opened in the central office of the Investigative Committee of Russia. At first, the operatives were asked to provide several explanations about what happened, but they remained at large. However, then Konstantin Strukov was invited on “working issues” to sign certain documents to the premises of the FSB Internal Security Service on Lubyanka, where he was detained. At the same time, Major Nikityuk was detained, as well as the failed co-owner of the market and his mother. The FSB officers, as military personnel, were sent to the garrison court to select a preventive measure, and their civilian accomplice was sent to the Basmanny District Court. The woman was not arrested, limiting herself to a written undertaking not to leave the place. The officers, who were charged with illegal seizure of assets worth 2.3 million rubles, appealed through their lawyers against their arrest as illegal and unfounded in the hope of being released from the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center, at least under house arrest. “My client does not admit guilt to the charges,” said Konstantin Strukov’s lawyer Igor Kopenkin. He also noted that the defense does not exclude the possibility of revenge against capable FSB operatives for their professional activities, refraining from further comments.
At the same time, sources in the security forces emphasized that Major Nikityuk and Captain Strukov served in one of the elite units of the central apparatus of the FSB - Directorate "M", which is entrusted with counterintelligence support and the fight against corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Justice and the subordinate FSIN and FSSP.
The task of the colleagues was to identify abuses in the prison department. According to some reports, both counterintelligence officers were directly involved in almost all the high-profile revelations in the structure of the Federal Penitentiary Service in recent years. In particular, they were part of a group involved in the operational development of the former head of the prison department, Alexander Reimer, and his multi-billion dollar fraud with electronic bracelets, for which he was sentenced to eight years in prison.
In April 2016, Sergei Nikityuk, while still a captain, in the position of senior detective for particularly important cases of the 2nd direction of the 3rd department of the “M” department, himself submitted a report to his leadership about the thefts he discovered while checking the activities of a federal state unitary enterprise located in the Saratov region "Cannery of the Federal Penitentiary Service" and its director Pavel Belikov. The operative reported that he and officials of the Federal Penitentiary Service stole 359 million rubles under fictitious contracts. “Nikityuk really stood at the origins of the investigation, a criminal case was opened, but the facts were not confirmed, and a year later it was stopped, recognizing the accused’s right to rehabilitation on this charge,” said Belikov’s lawyer Alexander Kunitsyn. However, Belikov was charged with other episodes, and now he is on trial. Although, according to the defense lawyer, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise and the divisions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Saratov Region, recognized by the investigation as victims, stated that there was no damage.
Meanwhile, according to sources, Sergei Nikityuk and his colleagues, as part of the inspection of the cannery, actively collected information not only on its managers, but also on the then deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service, who was in charge of logistics issues at that time.
It was these data that became one of the reasons for initiating a number of criminal cases against a high-ranking employee of the prison department. Moreover, according to some information, it was the counterintelligence agent’s information that became the basis for wiretapping Korshunov’s phones, and then he personally took part in the detention in September last year of the former deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service on his boat in a yacht club near Moscow and a search in it.
However, the arrest of officers from the “M” department will no longer affect the case of a major official. Korshunov will soon appear in court on charges of several episodes of embezzlement, as well as receiving a bribe. His accomplices are two subordinates; the cases against two businessmen who worked with the structures of the Federal Penitentiary Service (in their favor, according to the investigation, embezzlement was committed) will be considered by the courts in a special manner in connection with the admission of guilt.
Both Sergei Nikityuk and Konstantin Strukov were awarded departmental awards and received commendations from the service leadership. At the same time, according to people around them, the officers, who were about 30 years old, lived quite modestly. Thus, Major Nikityuk, they claim, lived with three children in a small apartment, and Konstantin Strukov had recently purchased housing with a mortgage.
Let's start with the declaration of FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov, who graduated from the Leningrad Institute of Railway Engineers, from 2003 to 2004 served as head of the FSB department for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, then, under the former FSB Director Patrushev, headed the FSB Economic Security Service (SEB). .
For a long time, the Bortnikovs lived quite modestly: a caravan was registered for the head of the family, and a VAZ 21093 car was registered for the wife Tatyana Borisovna (on the night of July 14, 2005, unknown attackers stole the license plate from the car). The couple owned an apartment in St. Petersburg on Zagreb Boulevard.
After moving to the capital, the family significantly improved their living conditions. According to published data, they acquired another apartment (115 sq. m), a plot of land (1198 sq. m), a country house (150 sq. m) and two individual parking spaces. It is true that what kind of cars are parked in these parking lots is not specified.
The only son of the Bortnikovs* graduated from the St. Petersburg University of Economics and Finance in 1996. Until 2004, he worked at Industrial Construction Bank OJSC, then as an adviser to the manager of the Guta-Bank branch, and in 2005 he moved to the position of deputy manager of Vneshtorgbank Retail Services CJSC. Since 2006 - Deputy Manager of the VTB branch in St. Petersburg. In 2007, he was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Board of VTB North-West.
First Deputy Director of the FSB Sergei Smirnov, while working as the head of the FSB Directorate for St. Petersburg and the region, lived with his wife Natalya Pavlovna in house number 27 on Novgorodskaya Street and officially owned a Zhiguli car produced in 1983. Now the Smirnovs have moved to a “Chekist” house on Udaltsova Street. In addition to two apartments, they have a plot of land (2500 sq. m) and a parking space (832.5 sq. m). It is not known what their son Evgeniy does.
Director of the FSB border service, Hero of Russia (received for “Nord-Ost”) and concurrently chairman of the Dynamo society Vladimir Pronichev, according to published data, owns a land plot (5028 sq. m.), a residential building (811.3 sq. m.) and an apartment (204 sq. m.).
My wife, Lyudmila Aleksandrovna, works at the Investment Company Global-Invest LLC. Just two years ago, I was driving a Toyota RAV with criminal license plates - O***MR 77. Now my husband gave Lyudmila Alexandrovna his Lexus GC 470, and he himself moved to an LX 570 worth three and a half million rubles. In addition, another plot of land (3000 sq. m), a residential building (604.3 sq. m), a garage (123.4 sq. m) and an outbuilding (172.4 sq. m.) were registered in the name of the spouse. The eldest daughter is a lawyer, drives an Infinity FX 3. The youngest daughter graduated from MGIMO, worked at Gazprom, owns a Honda Accord car, also with criminal plates - A *** MP 77.
Deputy Director of the FSB Vyacheslav Ushakov met his other half in the 8th grade, sitting at the same desk. Now Valentina Petrovna is a housewife. The youngest daughter graduated from the Lyceum in Petrozavodsk, and then from the Academy of National Economy under the Government of the Russian Federation, she is a co-founder of Eigers LLC (the company has its own cinema and also rents out retail space in Sheremetyevo). She owns a Mercedes.
The Ushakovs’ eldest daughter married businessman Ruslan, studied at the FSB Academy, and is now a successful businesswoman. Her name can be seen among the founders of the Arizo trading house, Yunika MS LLC (production and sale of finishing materials), Platon Service CJSC, Eigers LLC and the Youth Leisure Center (office on the territory of the Central Air Terminal). In addition, the daughter and her father, a security officer, established a non-profit partnership of individual developers "Beijing" (real estate management) at the address: "Gorki-2" UMTO FSB of the Russian Federation, site No. 51. In addition to the Ushakovs, the founders of "Beijing" included tax officer Boris Korol and two Muscovites - Umarpasha Khanaliev and Hammyat Suleymanov. She gets around in a Volvo.
On the FSB website, Ushakov indicated that he owns a residential building (210 sq. m) and rents a plot of land (2461 sq. m). But for some reason there is a dash in the “spouse” column.
Another deputy director of the FSB is State Secretary Yuri Gorbunov, Honored Lawyer of the Russian Federation, Associate Professor, member of the Russian Association of International Law, author of more than 70 scientific works. The President was thanked twice for his services in improving the legal framework for countering terrorism.
Previously, the Gorbunovs lived in an old house on Troitskaya Street. The wife, Tatyana Evgenievna, first worked at Atompromresursy OJSC, and then moved to a management position at the Federal Tax Service for the Moscow Region. According to published data, Mr. Gorbunov does not own any property. However, for the second half, a plot of land (1040 sq. m), a new apartment (117.3 sq. m.) and a dacha (193 sq. m.) were registered.
Sergei Buravlev has been in the security forces since August 1971. Appointed to the position of Deputy Director of the FSB in June 2005. Together with his wife and daughter, they own two apartments (55 and 80 sq. m.), a plot of land (1025 sq. m. and rent another 495 sq. m.) and drive a Kia Sefia car, manufactured in 1998. It is unknown where the son and daughter work.
Deputy Director of the FSB Vladimir Kulishov was born on July 20, 1957 in the Rostov region. In 1979 he graduated from the Kiev Institute of Civil Aviation Engineers, then the Higher School of the KGB of the USSR, since 2000 he worked in the central office of the FSB, commanded security officers in the Saratov region (he headed the regional society "Dynamo") and in Chechnya. According to official data, Kulishov and his wife own a plot of land (1,487 sq. m), a residential building (374.4 sq. m), an apartment (87.2 sq. m) and a Volga car manufactured in 1999.
According to our source from the presidential administration, several more heads of departments of the central apparatus, as well as heads of the FSB departments of republics, regions and large cities, will soon report on their income and property.
FSB structure
Existing on the money of Russian taxpayers, the FSB has tightly fenced itself off from the country. They have everything of their own: operational services, investigation, aviation, navy, construction department, design institutes, fire service, educational institutions, medicine, rest homes, sanitary and epidemiological service and the press.
In 1993, by decree of Boris Yeltsin, the FSB Investigation Department was dissolved, and Lefortovo prison was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But two years later, under pressure from the security officers, Yeltsin “gave in,” and the SU was revived again. Immediately, criminal cases began to be filed against environmentalists, scientists, and especially recalcitrant businessmen accused of espionage. Moreover, the prosecutors supervising the KGB investigation almost never found any violations.
Loud scandals also began in the system itself. The most recent one happened in Nizhny Novgorod. According to the materials of the criminal case, the head of the investigative department of the FSB Directorate for the Nizhny Novgorod Region, Oleg Efremov, and his predecessor, Vladimir Obukhov, traded heroin (39 kg), seized from drug dealers in 2002, for six years. Both security officers were detained in 2008, but a year ago Efremov was killed in solitary confinement. The circumstances of Efremov’s death leave a lot of questions. For example, on what basis was he transferred to a special colony without being convicted? Do you know how he was killed? I quote: “... Having previously opened the cell, detective Kruchinin, prisoners Arkhipov and Toropov (former sparring partner of the Klitschko brothers) wrapped Efremov with tape, hung him on a rope from the ceiling so that his feet barely touched the floor, and inflicted at least 70 blows with fists, feet and rubber with a baton..."
There are rumors that just before his death, Efremov was allegedly going to tell investigators who else from the leadership of the FSB had a share. According to other sources, the opera and the lessons beat him out of the location of caches with “grandmas” and drugs.
The widow has her own version: “Oleg was forced to testify against the former head of the FSB Directorate for the Nizhny Novgorod Region, Vladimir Bulavin (now the head of the apparatus of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee), but he refused. That’s why he suffered.”
The FSB control service conducts financial audits within the department, monitors moral character and catches security officers-werewolves. The service is headed by Putin's old acquaintance - 62-year-old Yuri Ignashchenkov, who at one time worked as the head of the security service of the Sheraton Nevsky Palace hotel, and then as the head of the St. Petersburg FSB Directorate (his wife, Lyudmila Vasilievna, is a housewife. The daughter graduated from the Faculty of Biology and Soil Sciences of St. Petersburg State University, at the university of the German city Tübingen worked on her dissertation: “Neural mechanisms underlying secret changes in attention”)
The Control Service includes five departments: financial and economic, inspectorate, control and audit, information support for operational investigative activities and the department of internal security (USB).
We haven’t heard much about the first four, but we have heard about the CSS. At one time, even the head of the special unit, General Alexander Kupryazhkin, “distinguished himself” by actually divulging the secret of the investigation into the murder of Anna Politkovskaya. If you remember, in 2007, on the eve of the arrests of the main suspects, Kupryazkin unexpectedly appeared on air and named the name of one of the defendants - an employee of the capital's FSB Directorate, Lieutenant Colonel Ryaguzov.
General Kupryazhkin was born in 1957 in the Voronezh region. My wife, Olga Nikolaevna, is engaged in business. My son worked at OJSC MMZ Vympel, and there is also a daughter.
Several of Kupryazkin’s subordinates were involved in a criminal case, according to which entire trainloads of Chinese contraband were delivered from the Far East to the address of the FSB warehouse (military unit 54729) (criminal case No. 290724). Special officers and generals of the central apparatus associated with this case were either fired or reinstated, and in the end they ended up as vice-presidents and heads of security services in large banks and state corporations. But the criminal case quietly fizzled out.
Another important body is the Organizational and Personnel Work Service (ORS). The head is Colonel General Evgeny Lovyrev (part-time director of the Dynamo women's volleyball club). His wife Anna Viktorovna and son work at Zarubezhneft OJSC. The SOKR includes three departments: special registrations, organizational planning management and personnel management.
We have heard a lot about the sporting successes of the girls from Dynamo. But many are tormented by doubts about the state of affairs with FSB personnel. For example, do all employees follow the precepts of former FSB director Patrushev (now Secretary of the Security Council)? I quote the last interview: “Security officers have always had such qualities as patriotism, a sense of civic responsibility for the fate of the Motherland, and loyalty to the military oath. For them, honor, courage, courage and readiness for self-sacrifice are not simple words, but concepts filled with deep inner content, the moral basis of life.”
SEB and management "M"
One of the key structures is the Economic Security Service (ESS). The service includes seven departments: for counterintelligence support for industrial enterprises (directorate “P”), for counterintelligence support for transport (directorate “T”), for counterintelligence support for the credit and financial system (directorate “K”), for counterintelligence support for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Ministry of Justice (directorate “M”), organizational and analytical, combating smuggling and drug trafficking (directorate “N”) and administrative service.
Let us dwell on the “M” department, which “grasses” the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Justice. The guys are so secretive that even the address of their office in the center of Moscow is a state secret. Although ordinary sergeants from the Central Administrative District Internal Affairs Directorate showed it to me.
After the execution of innocent people by the head of the Tsaritsyno police department, Evsyukov, almost two dozen generals of the Ministry of Internal Affairs lost their posts. There was also a personnel purge in the “M” department: the immediate police supervisor, the head of the Nikolaev department, lost his post. But the head of the “M” department, Vladimir Kryuchkov, on the contrary, went for a promotion and became deputy head of the organizational and inspection department. Patrushev’s protégé, Alexey Dorofeev, who previously held the position of head of the FSB Directorate in Karelia, was appointed in his place. The structure has also been changed. Previously, the “M” department was subordinate to Smirnov, now it is directly to the director of the FSB, Bortnikov.
After the historical publication of data on the income and property of security officers, I dare to ask the director of the FSB a couple of questions:
Dear Alexander Vasilievich! As one knowledgeable person said, many police chiefs were caught by your subordinates from the “M” department in unseemly acts, and now they not only “knock on the door”, but also allegedly give part of the profits to their curators. This is true?
A MUR operative told me about another problem:
In order to track all the movements of Ded Hassan (oldest thief in law Aslan Usoyan - See Novaya's information), we placed a "watch" on him at airports and train stations (the "Rozysk-Magistral" system). Previously, we knew where he went and where he came from. And recently Grandfather Hasan visited Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan on “working visits”. But the FSB border service did not notify us about this. I wonder why?
By the way, how is the search going for Vladimir Volkov (nicknamed Volchar, Volodya the Shlepnog), who has been on the federal wanted list since 1992, and who escaped from ITC-2 in Tatarstan? According to your and the police files, he passes as “Ded Hassan’s regular killer.” The intelligence reports indicate addresses in Eastern Europe where he may be hiding. Among other things, there are references to the fact that as soon as Volchara appears in Russia, contract killings are sure to occur. I wonder where the surveillance reports on Volkov go and who supplies him with fake passports of Serbia, the Czech Republic and Poland and gives him a “green corridor” when crossing the border? And how does he actually get through border control?
"Fortified"
At the beginning of the 2000s, under the slogan of fighting crime, corruption and chaos, the FSB sent its career officers to various ministries, departments and even commercial structures to strengthen personnel. What came out of this is well known: drug addiction has become a national disaster, it is better not to mention the increase in crime, and in terms of the level of corruption, Russia has dropped to 147th place and ranks on the same line with Kenya, Syria and Bangladesh.
Of course, you can’t list all the “fortified people,” but you can list the most noticeable ones.
Presidential plenipotentiary representative in the Central Federal District Georgy Poltavchenko (served in the KGB of Leningrad), plenipotentiary representative in the Volga region Grigory Rapota (since 1966 in the ranks of the KGB).
The former head of the FSB inspectorate department is now the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Nurgaliev, the head of the internal security department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a native of the KGB Draguntsov, the head of the administrative department is the security officer Maidanov.
The head of the State Drug Control Service is the former head of the FSB Internal Security Service - Ivanov, the head of the Moscow department of this department is the security officer Davydov, the head of the St. Petersburg department is the security officer Shesterikov, the head of the Orenburg department is the security officer Ivanov. And this list goes on and on.
By the way, I would really like to ask Comrade Davydov how the story ended with the discovery of the bodies of detectives Dmitry Mazanov and Vakhtang Gvakharia (son-in-law of Yeltsin’s former security guard, now State Duma deputy Korzhakov) in the office of the Federal Drug Control Service in the Closed Administrative District of Moscow, who died from a heroin overdose? Have you found out where the deceased purchased drugs and who protected this outlet? And what kind of high official tried to prevent the autopsy of the bodies to establish the cause of death?
Well, readers already know the head of customs - a former KGB officer and friend of Putin Belyaninov.
In addition, a whole army of comrades working under the guise has settled in local authorities, large enterprises, state corporations, the oil and gas complex (for example, another friend of the prime minister, Mr. Tokarev), the management of state television channels, newspapers, universities and even theaters. And all this, not counting the numerous agents and anonymous people.

Usoyan Aslan Rashidovich(Grandfather Hasan) was born on February 27 (28), 1937 in Tbilisi. By nationality - Yezidi Kurd. A thief in law. From 1980 to 1992, he served a prison sentence in the Urals for selling counterfeit gold coins (he was arrested in Kazakhstan). He has extensive connections among corrupt officials in Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Stavropol and Krasnodar territories, as well as in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB. In almost every region of Russia, from Ded Hassan there are “watchers” who control commercial banks, illegal money flows, drug trafficking, gambling, residential robberies, robberies and thefts of foreign cars.
In 1998, at a gathering of thieves in Moscow, Usoyan was “crowned” for collaborating with the authorities and departing from the “thieves’” traditions. The initiator was the famous thief in law Rudolf Oganov (nickname Rudik - he was soon killed in the capital).
The story of deputies in uniform
Why are prosecutors-protectors persecuted by the FSB’s Internal Security Service or what FSB generals Oleg Feoktistov and the Prosecutor General’s Office Yuri Sindeev did not share?
The Investigative Committee of Russia is vigorously investigating a criminal case about underground casinos in the Moscow region, within the framework of which, in the best traditions of the KGB of the USSR, it is identifying new facts of corruption. There is minimal evidence, prosecutors, like in a fairy tale, confess everything themselves, honestly and voluntarily tell when, how much and from whom they took bribes, after which... they are released from custody, about which they organize drinking parties, which are cheerfully covered in the media.
The criminal case itself is being processed by Major General Denis Nikandrov, senior investigator for particularly important cases of the Investigative Committee, but the operational support of the investigation has mysteriously been taken over by the most secret and powerful Ninth Directorate of the FSB of Russia - the Department of Internal Security, represented by the first deputy head of General Oleg Feoktistova. True, for some reason not a single FSB officer has been caught yet; they are all somehow more prosecutors. Then what does the FSB's Internal Security Service have to do with it? A few words about “how everything works.”
Oleg Feoktistov
Oleg Feoktistov, who held the position of head of the 6th Internal Security Service of the FSB until 2008, gained fame by directly pursuing the prosecution of General Alexander Bulbov of the Federal Drug Control Service of the Russian Federation. As you know, after suffering for many months, Bulbov admitted to petty crimes and was released from punishment on account of the time he had already spent in a pre-trial detention center. In gratitude for the perfectly executed special operation, the head of the FSB Internal Security Service, Alexander Kupryazhkin, made Oleg Feoktistov his first deputy.
A career and general's shoulder straps are, of course, good, but you won't earn much money with it. But what makes the internal security situation of the FSB unique is that the chain of corruption has always been closed to them.
It is known that in our country law enforcement agencies are paid by businessmen and “persons of interest”, in direct contact with whom, as a rule, is the lower link of the law enforcement “food chain” - operatives and investigators of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. The ideal option is when the operational services develop material on dishonest businessmen (and we have practically no others), contact them and offer to pay for their closure. The Department of Internal Security (DSB) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, which in its work obeys and listens to senior colleagues from the FSB, must search for and catch such dishonest employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (and we also have practically no others). For the most part, the employees of the DSS of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are wealthy people and do not meddle in their own affairs without special instructions.
The security officers, in turn, have a special Directorate “M”, which is engaged in counterintelligence activities to identify bribe-takers and criminals in the ranks of employees of all law enforcement agencies, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Investigative Committee, the Ministry of Justice and others.
In turn, the employees of the “M” department are supervised by the FSB Internal Security Service, who has no one to supervise. It’s interesting that the security officers themselves call the same system in the prosecutor’s office “protection protection.”
In 2008, common interests brought General Oleg Feoktistov closer to the newly appointed First Deputy Head of the Department of Economic Security (DES) of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, General Andrei Khorev, and they were brought together by Sergei Abutidze, who worked in the structure of the Russian Technologies State Corporation. General Khorev had a huge flow of incoming corruption money. He and his people were paid by everyone: bankers and cashers, customs officers and smugglers, budget scammers and builders, and he desperately needed a reliable roof. Oleg Feoktistov began not only to patronize Andrei Khorev in exchange for a monthly remuneration for himself and his trusted people, but also found many points of contact with the young general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Several sources immediately confirmed with confidence that Andrei Khorev transfers 500 thousand US dollars monthly to Oleg Feoktistov to pay for the current services of the 9th Directorate of the FSB of Russia for general patronage. Income from individual joint ventures is, of course, distributed separately.
One can say about Feoktistov - a man without principles, slippery, today he will swear his love to you, and tomorrow he will sincerely betray you. General Feoktistov gives most of the “special” assignments to the employees of the 6th Internal Security Service of the FSB, where he himself worked before his promotion, primarily to the head of the service, Tkachev, and the operational officer Grigoryan. In particular, the most important object of development for the CSS was the Directorate “M” of the FSB and those of its employees who are directly involved in supervising the central apparatus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Oleg Feoktistov developed a special relationship with the first deputy head of the department, Vladimir Maksimenko, and the head of the 1st service, Alexander Filin, who came from military counterintelligence. Feoktistov has prepared a large amount of incriminating evidence against Maksimenko and Filin, which is collected on an ongoing basis by the head of the 6th Internal Security Service of the FSB, Tkachev. Having received the latest information, Feoktistov calls Maksimenko, shows him the collected materials and reprimands in a fatherly manner: how carelessly you work, you screwed up again! As a result of such periodic conversations, Maksimenko is completely enslaved by Feoktistov and fulfills all his requests.
In turn, Oleg Feoktistov takes advantage of the fact that Alexander Kupryazkin has long ceased to see himself as the head of the 9th Directorate and dreamed of becoming deputy director of the FSB of Russia. When this happened, Feoktistov did everything to achieve appointment to the position of head of the department, but the director of the FSB of Russia, Alexander Bortnikov, rejected his candidacy, offering this position to the assistant to the Minister of Defense of Russia Sergei Korolev, who previously worked in the FSB agencies in St. Petersburg.
They say that upon learning of this, Oleg Feoktistov became furious, but did not give up and decided to act the old fashioned way, instructing the head of the 6th Internal Security Service, Tkachev, to urgently find incriminating evidence on Korolev. It was not possible to find corruption, and Feoktistov decided to stop searching. Since August 2011, Sergei Korolev began to perform his duties.
Considering that his partner Andrei Khorev has lost most of his influence on the economic bloc of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Oleg Feoktistov’s current dream is to take the position of head of the FSB Directorate for Moscow and the Moscow Region.
Vladimir Maksimenko
From 2007 to 2009, Vladimir Maksimenko headed the internal security department of the Investigative Committee at the Prosecutor's Office, where he gained a reputation as a person who solves the problems of those involved in specific cases. However, when in January 2009, one of Maksimenko’s employees, Dmitry Marinin, was shot dead in St. Petersburg, it turned out that before joining the Investigative Committee, the murdered man had a rich criminal past, and while working in the investigative department, he dealt with issues of his own. boss, achieving the desired results in the cases under investigation. As a result, the head of the committee, Alexander Bastrykin, fired Vladimir Maksimenko with a scandal, and in the FSB, as if nothing had happened, he was offered his previous position in the “M” Directorate of the FSB.
Returning to Dzerzhinsky Square, Maksimenko gathered a team of officers close to him under the auspices of the 1st service of Directorate “M”, which included the head of the service Alexander Filin, operational officers Kozyrev, Vasilevsky, Ekonomitsev, Melnik, as well as the recently retired Korobeinikov and seconded to the DEB, and now to the GUEBiPK Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Yakovlev.
The head of the “M” department, Alexey Dorofeev, does not trust Vladimir Maksimenko and suspects that his deputy is engaged in commercial work, but only the FSB Internal Security Service can confirm or deny this, and Oleg Feoktistov is reliably covering for his sponsored colleague.
The main role of employees of the “M” department is to approve or reject candidates for appointment to positions in the central apparatus of the Investigative Committee, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other law enforcement agencies. Even if the Ministry of Internal Affairs has its own opinion on any candidate, the last word always belongs to the Emshchiks. At the same time, all decisions regarding the central apparatus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are made by the head of the 1st management service, Alexander Filin.
For example, when appointing employees to senior positions in the Department of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption (GUEBiPK) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during certification, the cost of approving a candidate in the “M” department ranged from 50 to 200 thousand US dollars. This is exactly how DEB employees Andrey Solodovnikov, Vladimir Sevastyanov, Dmitry Zakharchenko, Alexey Ryabtsev, Alexey Kamnev and some others were appointed to senior positions in the structure of the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Many of these candidates were supported by Andrei Khorev.
For example, the owner of UMMC, Iskander Makhmudov, very much asked Khorev to take control of the newly created department “M” (Mechanical Engineering and Metallurgy) within the GUEBiPK structure, to which General Khorev proposed the candidacy of Andrei Solodovnikov, promising his full loyalty and assistance in the work. However, it was not possible to appoint Solodovnikov as head of the department the first time, providing him with only the position of deputy. But, at the same time, Directorate “M” refused to approve all other real candidates for the position of head of the department.
During the transformation of the Investigative Committee under the Ministry of Internal Affairs into the departmental Investigation Department, Filin personally communicated with the heads of departments and interested parties. As a result, from the initial list of 70 rejected candidates, almost all were able to “pay off” for a reward. However, Filin also carried out orders for the guaranteed dismissal of investigators, among which were the dismissal of senior investigators for particularly important cases Andrei Kisin and Oleg Urzhumtsev, in relation to whom Filin and Vasilevsky falsified reports and intelligence reports about the investigators receiving bribes from certain parties in the cases under investigation. The clients were the defendants in the cases that were being processed by these investigators.
Another important layer of the work of Directorate “M” is the personnel of the Investigative Committee of Russia, and especially the regional ones. Thus, the head of the Investigative Directorate of the Russian Federation for the Rostov Region, Yu.V. Popov. in addition to resolving issues related to the interests of representatives of the criminal community, V.P. Maksimenko reports monthly. 50 thousand US dollars for general patronage and connivance on the part of the Russian FSB.
Head of the Investigative Directorate of the Russian Federation for the Volgograd Region Muzraev R.K. in addition to monthly cash payments, he is a link between the “M” Department and the heads of territorial divisions of the RF IC in the Astrakhan region, Krasnodar region and the Republic of Kalmykia. For communication with Muzraev R.K. In Directorate “M” the deputy head of the 1st service is Vasilevsky, who was previously one of the heads of the economic security service of the FSB Directorate for the Volgograd Region. In general, Maksimenko and Filin try to entrust the most important cases to Vasilevsky, who skillfully knows how to create incriminating material out of nothing. For this purpose, falsified reports and intelligence reports are created about off-duty contacts of a candidate or employee of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs with certain persons involved in criminal cases and the receipt of corruption rewards. To confirm reports, periodically checked employees are photographed with random persons, and the photographs are passed off as documenting off-duty contacts, making up the names and positions of those depicted in the photograph. Since this information is secret, no one can verify it, and the FSB Internal Security Service will always cover up the “junior comrades” from Directorate “M”.
As a result of such simple manipulations, the same Vasilevsky, for example, earned indecently good money. He has four expensive cars, including two Range Rovers, his own yacht and a boat in the Volgograd region. The officer lives in an apartment in the Ukraina Hotel on the 7th floor, and constantly dines not far from home at the Pinnochio restaurant next to the Bagration Bridge, where, by the way, he often meets with colleagues and where they were repeatedly seen together with Andrei Khorev .
When in July 2011, the head of the “M” department, Alexey Dorofeev, decided to move to a new duty station in the Federal Security Service, Vladimir Maksimenko got the idea to take his place, counting on the support of Oleg Feoktistov, but the position has not yet become available for him.
Commercial interests of the 9th Directorate of the FSB
Over the past few years, in several high-profile criminal cases, the 9th Department - the Internal Security Service of the FSB of Russia - has undertaken to accompany investigations conducted by the Investigative Committee at the Prosecutor's Office, and now the Investigative Committee of Russia. Moreover, sometimes such investigations bring employees of the 9th Directorate of the FSB fabulous amounts of money. Almost always Andrei Khorev is involved in the investigation of such cases.
For example, General Khorev, who was closely acquainted with employees of the North-Western Customs Administration, systematically selected for his fellow security officers information about criminal cases involving the smuggling of large quantities of consumer goods from the PRC. Feoktistov, in turn, agreed with the deputy head of the Investigative Committee, Vasily Piskarev, to transfer the next criminal case for investigation to the central office of the Investigative Committee. There, the case was sent to an investigator loyal to the security officers, who transferred the seized inventory items for safekeeping to commercial structures indicated by employees of the 9th Directorate of the FSB, with their subsequent sale. At the same time, no court decisions were made to recognize the property as ownerless.
An indicative example of such theft of material evidence is the case of the so-called “Cherkizovsky market”. It was in the hands of investigator Sergei Deptitsky of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, who instructed employees of the 9th Directorate of the FSB to carry out searches of the market. Almost all the goods seized during the searches had to be bought back by merchants for money. Moreover, the collection of money was organized by Andrei Khorev. The most striking thing is that during the searches, $3 million in cash was seized from Chinese citizens as evidence of illegal banking activities in the market, but the money disappeared. On this fact, the Investigative Committee itself conducted a pre-investigation check, but the case was hushed up, although investigator Deptytsky had to retire.
Of course, all participants in the scheme participated in sharing the profits from the sale.
Another favorite method of work for employees of the 9th Directorate was to receive orders to carry out investigative actions in connection with some criminal case being investigated in the Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee, which were not at all related to the subject of the investigation.
Oleg Feoktistov’s subordinates introduced interesting know-how to free the necessary persons from criminal liability. Thus, the accused, who is at large, falsifies, together with operatives of the 9th Directorate, the fact of extortion of a bribe by the investigator leading the case. After which the FSB officers raise the question of removing the bribe-taking investigator from the case, the accused is provided with state protection with the protection of special forces of the FSB of Russia (for example, the accused Pototsky, Kormilitsin, Rybkin), and the case itself falls apart under the pretext that it is fabricated.
In general, in the activities of the 9th Directorate of the FSB of Russia, it has become the norm to contact the central office of the Investigative Committee of Russia with a request to take over, on flimsy grounds, any criminal case being investigated anywhere on the territory of Russia, in order to subsequently achieve the necessary results on it. And in cases that are already pending, sometimes for 3-4 years, systematically extort bribes through employees of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for their failure to investigate.
A typical example in this sense is the criminal case against Alexander Gitelson, who absconded from the investigation only after 4 years of investigation. But throughout the entire period of the investigation, at the direction of the named employees of the FSB of Russia, investigators Chernyshev S.M. and Sanarov D.A. on far-fetched grounds, they issued investigative orders to employees of the 9th Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation to carry out investigative actions and operational search activities in relation to commercial structures not related to the subject of the investigation in the case. Thus, in the form of bribes to investigators and operational employees, operational information was realized about the involvement of commercial structures (including credit institutions) in tax evasion and the withdrawal of funds in foreign currency abroad (VEF Bank Latvia).
This “activity,” the analogue of which V.V. Putin once called “economic ecstasy,” involves many investigators from the central apparatus of the Investigative Committee of Russia, including the head of the Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee Alexander Shchukin, investigators Valery Alyshev, Ruslan Ibiev (appointed head Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for the Urals Federal District), Denis Nikandrov, Alexey Kramarenko (transferred to head of the Investigative Investigation Department for the city of Sochi, planned to be appointed to the position of head of the Investigative Investigation Department for the Central Administrative District of Moscow), Alexey Novikov, Artem Nikitchenko (originally from the same locality as Tkachev I.I.), Daniil Sanarov, Sergei Chernyshev and some others. It is these investigators who periodically handle “custom-made” criminal cases with operational support from the 9th Directorate of the FSB.
But, we must give them their due, Oleg Feoktistov with his people, in every possible way takes care, protects and promotes the employees of the Investigative Committee collaborating with him, using for these purposes the administrative resource of the deputy head of the Investigative Committee, Colonel General of Justice Yu.V. Nyrkov, previously Head of the personnel service of the FSB of Russia.
The Case of the Prosecutors
The whole conflict flared up due to the reluctance of the head of the organizational department of the General Prosecutor's Office, Yuri Sindeev, to negotiate with Oleg Feoktistov.
Taking into account the degree of influence of Oleg Feoktistov on almost all law enforcement agencies of the country, the independent and independent position of Yuri Sindeev, who had enormous influence in the General Prosecutor's Office and did not want, despite repeated hints, to coordinate his actions with the Internal Security Service of the FSB of Russia, could not end without a trace for the high-ranking prosecutor and the 9th Directorate went to war against the prosecutors.
In order not to be exposed ahead of time, General Feoktistov agreed in September 2010 with Andrei Khorev that, on the basis of falsified intelligence reports, he would obtain permission to wiretap the phones of Sindeev’s entourage in order to obtain compromising material sufficient to initiate some kind of criminal case. The result exceeded all expectations and by December Oleg Feoktistov had a clear and harmonious picture of protecting underground casinos near Moscow, which was later turned into almost the “case of the century.” Moreover, the first case regarding illegal gambling activities was initiated back in September 2010, but for Feoktistov it was important to reveal the pattern of relationships between prosecutors and obtain evidence that could lead to Yuri Sindeev.
To initiate a new criminal case, Feoktistov cunningly took advantage of the contradictions between Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika and Chairman of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin, naturally keeping silent about his conflict with Sindeev.
After searches and arrests, no evidence of Sindeev’s involvement was found. All that we managed to find were photographs from joint holidays of Moscow region prosecutors, not in an expensive Italian restaurant like Pinnochio, but in the budget Premium restaurant, owned by the casino manager Ivan Nazarov, and joint trips by helicopter to Valaam (note, This is not Andrei Khorev's vacation on a 50-meter yacht in Sardinia with thousand-dollar champagne). The picture was retouched, exaggerated and beautifully presented to the media, dropping the image of the prosecutor's office to a trash level, and simultaneously inflating the amount of income from the rather pitiful underground casinos by several orders of magnitude. After this, further investigation was a matter of technique.
Oleg Feoktistov achieved his goal; Yuri Sindeev will not return to his position after his vacation and will be dismissed from the prosecutor’s office. But I would like to wish the fighter against corruption in the ranks of the Russian FSB: start with yourself.
Different testimony in a criminal case and in arbitration does not bother anyone yet, only because law enforcement officers do not combine all processes and decisions on them into one scheme. But lawlessness cannot last indefinitely, and in the event of a fair trial, the documents indicated on the paper with Ushakov’s name will greatly hinder the raiders.
General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation
The criminal case initiated against Ekimov was investigated for six years. Investigator of the Investigative Department of the Department of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Istra District, Petr Zvonkov, closes the case at the stage of signing the indictment. The position of the investigation is that Ekimov’s guilt has been fully proven.
It is impossible to find this criminal case now. All requests for information about where the materials are located are answered by PASMI journalists with a refusal to provide data.
Obviously, the Prosecutor General's Office knows where the case is. An inspection carried out there showed that it was illegally closed. The prosecutor's office insists on resuming the investigation, which is reported to Deputy Prosecutor General Viktor Grin.
“The study of the case in the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation showed that the preliminary investigation into the second episode of V.S. Ekimov was accused. the act was terminated by the investigator unreasonably, the resolution in this part, in violation of part 4 of article 7 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, is not motivated and not substantiated on the collected materials of the criminal case,” the document says. – “Taking into account the above, as well as the fact that the investigation of the criminal case based on the appeals of Churin V.V. has taken on a protracted nature, the investigative body has repeatedly made illegal procedural decisions, which were canceled in the order of supervision and departmental control, in order to intensify the investigation, I propose to instruct the prosecutor of the Moscow region to cancel the illegal decision to terminate the investigation dated 04/02/2015, to take measures aimed at establishing all the circumstances of the crime crimes, making a lawful decision.”
The actions specified in the letter have not yet been completed. I would like to print the name of that employee of the prosecutor’s office who, after thousands of appeals from social activists, journalists and deputies, nevertheless saw signs of a violation of the law and reported this to higher management. But the source's name is hidden for his safety. Such a paradox.
PASMI sends a request to the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yuri Chaika and the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Viktor Grin with a request to provide data on the deadlines for completing the actions specified in this document.
