At first, at the behest of her parents, Zadorina prepared for a diplomatic career: in 2011, she graduated from MGIMO’s master’s program with a degree in “ foreign policy and diplomacy in Russia". But, having received her diploma, she immediately entered the Moscow-Tel Aviv clothing collection into the competition of Tatyana Mikhalkova’s Russian Silhouette Foundation. Since then she has become a regular member fashion shows. Her Zadorina Group LLC sold evening dresses in the Crocus City Mall and the Vesna store on Arbat. The company's revenue in 2012 amounted to 7.8 million rubles. with a loss of 18,000 rubles, a year later – 12 million rubles. with a net profit of 687,000 rubles, but in 2014 the company was liquidated.
Zadorina began producing sportswear in 2012. Her Equipsport LLC received orders for sewing uniforms from SK Dynamo and one of the founders of the club, the FSB-controlled regional society Dynamo 24, as well as beach and regular volleyball teams. Uniforms and workwear were ordered from Equipsport by Transneft, Vnukovo Airport, Rus-Oil, etc. Many customers and sponsors of fashion companies were business partners of the Shekin family in larger-scale projects. Thus, Zadorina’s most famous designer action is the release of T-shirts with patriotic inscriptions like “Sanctions? Don’t tell my Iskanders” or “Topol is not afraid of sanctions”, among others, were sponsored by a certain PJSC “Concern “Baikal”. He had a chance to become the largest project of the Shekin family.
Chief Supply Officer
FSB Colonel General Mikhail Shekin was appointed head of the 7th FSB service (activity support service) in 2007. Three departments are subordinate to him - financial and economic, logistics support (UMTO) and capital construction. The Shekina Service purchases almost everything for the FSB - from apartments, cars and boats to clothing; it also owns the department’s medical institutions. The service even has its own customs temporary storage warehouses. It was because of the import of contraband into the customs warehouse of military unit 54729 that Shekin’s predecessor, FSB Colonel General Sergei Shishin, lost his position. In 2005, this warehouse received more than 100 wagons with Chinese consumer goods, paid for from the accounts of the FSB UMTO, Kommersant wrote. According to the publication, the final destination of the cargo was the Cherkizovsky market. The scandal led to the resignation of a dozen high-ranking security officials, and Shishin had to move to VTB as a senior vice president. A little later, Shekin became president of the Dynamo volleyball sports club. Founders of the club - regional organization Dynamo-24 (FSB of Russia), Moscow Dynamo Society, National Charitable Foundation, Rosneft Sports Club and Dynamo Development Fund. President All Russian Federation volleyball (VFV) since 2004, Shekina’s immediate superior was the then director of the FSB, Army General Nikolai Patrushev.
« Gazprom"didn't live up to expectations“I am not my own enemy, no comments. The project did not take place, we’ll end it here,” a person related to the creation of “Baikal”, which united the children of high-ranking security officials and businessmen who worked with Gazprom contracts, told Vedomosti.
The company was created in December 2014. Zadorina received 30% of it and headed the board of directors. Olga Zolotova had the same amount. Vedomosti was unable to find out who she is. But at the same time, the son of the former head of the Security Service of the President of Russia, and now the head of the Russian Guard, Viktor Zolotov, Roman, joined the board of directors of Baikal.
Another 10% of the company was received by the spouses Victoria and Dmitry Makarov. Makarova is Zadorina’s long-time partner; until February 2017, they owned on parity terms 90% of the Za Group company, which produced clothes designed by Zadorina.
The remaining 30% of Baikal shares belonged to Irkutsk businessmen Evgeny Evstigneev, Sergei Rassokhin and Yana Bogomolova.
Baikal’s only asset was a 90% stake in Stroygazservis (SGS), created in 2009 by Alexey Snegirev, former head of procurement and logistics of Stroygazmontazh (SGM) Arkady Rotenberg. The first company was a subcontractor of the second - one of the largest general contractors of Gazprom.
SGS supplied components to almost all major gas pipeline construction projects: the North European Gas Pipeline (Gryazovets - Vyborg section), Sakhalin - Khabarovsk - Vladivostok, South Stream, Bovanenkovo, etc. Until 2014, the company did not disclose its revenue, so it is difficult to assess how successful Snegirev’s business turned out to be.
Baikal got the GHS through Evstigneev, who bought it from the founder in 2014 and then transferred it to the new company.
In 2015, SGS decided to switch from subcontractors to Gazprom contractors. He submitted applications for three competitions of Gazprom Dobycha Noyabrsk LLC with a maximum price of 9.4 billion rubles. But it was not possible to obtain contracts. Two competitions for 4 billion rubles. Stroytransneftegaz of Gennady Timchenko won, and the contract was worth 4.9 billion rubles. went to the Sakhalin company Vostok Morneftegaz owned by Leonid Lee.
After this, SGS began to rapidly lose the market - in 2015, its revenue fell 40 times to 8 million rubles, and the loss grew to 25 million rubles. In the summer of 2015, Baikal sold 90% of its shares in SGS. And a little later Zolotova sold her stake in Baikal.
Volleyball developmentIn the second half of the 2010s, the rapid activity of Ivan Tikhomirov, the same age and namesake of Yulia Tikhomirova, began. At the age of 23, he became the co-founder and general director of a dozen companies involved in development projects for the volleyball Dynamo. Two acquaintances of the Shekin family say that at that time he was the husband of Tikhomirova, who was involved in development projects in the family. In 2007, she founded her own company, Msk Stroy, which was supposed to prepare construction sites.
Tikhomirov’s main partners were 47-year-old counterintelligence officer, FSB colonel and former general director of Dynamo Insurance Company Vyacheslav Rotavchikov and member of the board of directors of Transmashholding Evgeniy Smirnov (for more details, see the inset).
Volleyball and locomotives
Little is known about one of the main business partners of Zadorina and Tikhomirova, 79-year-old Evgeniy Smirnov (pictured). The first time his name was mentioned was in 1997. Then Smirnov worked as the general director of the Transsnab company, established by Zheldorbank, Roszheldorsnab of the Ministry of Railways and Transrail Holding, close to the then head of the Ministry of Railways Nikolai Aksenenko. Transsnab mediated the supply of rails and other track superstructure equipment under Ministry of Railways contracts. In 2002, Smirnov became an adviser to the president of Evrazholding (now Evraz) Alexander Abramov. At that time he was the only manufacturer of rails in Russia. In 2005, Smirnov participated in a deal with shares of Transmashholding, the largest Russian manufacturer of locomotives and passenger cars. Judging by the company's reporting, in 2005, 10% of its shares went to Volley Sport-Service LLC. The company was founded by former SC Dynamo player Alexander Yaremenko and former players of the Luch club Stanislav Shevchenko and Andrey Sapega. Smirnov was the general director of Volei Sports Service and therefore joined the board of directors of the machine-building holding, where he remains to this day. Volley Sport Service itself became the property of Volley Sport JSC, created by Shevchenko and Lada Soshenkova, a minority shareholder of the Volleyball Yug company, controlled by Shekin’s daughter Yulia Tikhomirova. In 2007, the Dutch The Breakers Investments B.V. became the owner of 100% of Transmashholding. Its main owners were considered to be Iskandar Makhmudov, Andrei Bokarev, Maxim Liksutov (now deputy mayor of Moscow) and Sergei Glinka. In the same 2007, 25% of the holding’s shares for 9.2 billion rubles. acquired Russian Railways, and in 2010 another 25% plus 1 share was acquired by the French concern Alstom. In 2005, Smirnov also became a co-founder and chairman of the board of the Institute for Problems of Natural Monopolies (IPEM), whose telephone number coincided with the contacts of the TMH trading house (owned by Transmashholding). The main customers of IPEM were Russian Railways and its affiliated structures. Based on their government order, the institute assessed the risks and feasibility of increasing the number of freight carriers, predicted changes in passenger flows and helped with planning investment program Russian Railways to update the rolling stock fleet. Most of these studies were in one way or another connected with the activities of Transmashholding. In 2016, IPEM’s government order portfolio amounted to 118.5 million rubles. IPEM is also associated with Zadorina. Since 2010, he has owned 18% of the CIS Institute for Security Problems (CIS IPS), the largest beneficiary of which is the general’s daughter. In the Ecoresurs company, which owns the remaining shares of the institute, 53% belongs to Zadorina, 18.5% to Smirnov. Vedomosti was unable to contact Smirnov.
True, Tikhomirov’s business activity died out as unexpectedly as it began. In 2012, he disappeared from all his companies, his shares went to Shekinah’s daughters and former partners. Perhaps this is due to the separation of the couple, two family friends suggest. Only last year Tikhomirov registered as individual entrepreneur and opened a car wash in Nekrasovka. Her employee told Vedomosti that Tikhomirov was abroad. The businessman did not answer Vedomosti’s questions sent to him. Yulia Tikhomirova also did not answer questions about Tikhomirov. What projects did the businessman manage to participate in?
VTB took over the arenaOn the capital's Vasilisa Kozhina Street near Victory Park on December 23, 2015, there was no crowd. Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev, VTB President Andrei Kostin and his first deputy Vasily Titov, Moscow Vice-Mayor Marat Khusnullin and President of Dynamo SC General Shekin came to lay the capsule with a message to descendants in the foundation of the future international volleyball arena with 3,500 seats. The arena, the construction of which was solemnly announced by officials, bankers and generals, was a small part of the Match Point mixed-use complex (MFC), which was to appear on this site. The planned development area is 202,945 sq. m. m, and the cost is almost 19 billion rubles. The 28-story buildings will house offices and apartments.
In fact, the complex on the street. Vasilisa Kozhina - unfinished construction. The project started in 2008. Then Moscow leased 2.5 hectares of land to the Dynamo Sports Complex for the construction of an office and sports complex. The customer and investor of the construction were Volley Grand LLC and the interregional sports public organization(MSOO) “Sports Initiatives”. The general director of the first of them was Tikhomirov, and the founders were Rotavchikov, Smirnov and the owner of the National Republican Bank Dzhulustan Borisov. The second company was founded by Tikhomirov, Smirnov, Borisov, the All-Russian Volleyball Federation (VFV) and several top managers of the Miel group.
The partners collectively invested about 300 million rubles in the project. and attracted a VTB loan for at least 7.6 billion rubles. And after the crisis and problems with financing, investors fell out. Smirnov’s structures began to sue the structures of Rotavchikov and Borisov regarding settlements with contractors and investments in construction. Tikhomirov chose to withdraw from the project in 2012, and a year later the construction was frozen.
In 2014, the project for the construction of the mixed-use complex was completely transferred to VTB. The bank representative did not talk about the project, and it was not possible to contact Borisov.
If the large-scale construction project in Moscow did not work out, the Tikhomirov structures managed to successfully complete the projects for the construction of hotels and sports complexes in Suzdal, Anapa and Adler. They were helped in this by UMMC Iskandar Makhmudov and his partners, Siberian business union"(SDS), "Renova" by Viktor Vekselberg and the charitable foundation "Safmar" by Mikhail Gutseriev - some of them free of charge.
Thus, in the resort village of Vityazevo near Anapa, since 2004, the Volley Grad sports and educational health center was built by the VFV. The federation itself built only two volleyball courts and a hotel with 64 rooms. In 2009, the federation ceded the lease of the site to Volei Grad, the co-owners of which were the structures of Yulia and Ivan Tikhomirov. They built an indoor training hall there, four cottages with an area of 342 square meters. m each and a presidential villa of 524 sq. m.
The third stage of the sports complex in 2015–2016. financed Gutseriev's Safmar. He transferred donations worth 100 million rubles to the VFW. These funds were used to build two new beach volleyball courts, stands with 1,500 seats and landscaping of the complex. The Safmar Foundation did not answer Vedomosti’s questions about Volya Grad.
Hotel for the FSBIn 2013, an Olympic facility was built in Adler federal significance– a sports and recreation hotel Sport Inn with 50 rooms with beach volleyball courts. During the Sochi Olympics, the Sport Inn, like several other hotels in Adler, was taken over by the FSB for its needs.
At that time, 51% of the company that owned the hotel “Start” belonged to the MSOO “Sports Initiatives” of Tikhomirov. The SDS had the rest. But Renova donated money for the construction, and its structure, OSZ LLC, was the customer and developer of the hotel. This follows from the proceedings that accompanied the registration of a permit for the construction of a hotel - its “Sports Initiatives” were approved in the Central District Court of Sochi retroactively, in 2016. A Renova representative did not comment on this project.
At the beginning of 2016, 51% of Start was bought from Sports Initiatives by Oksana Simonova, a former top manager of Miel and the general director of the Msk Stroy company, Yulia Tikhomirova. SDS sold 49% of Start LLC to its lawyer Andrey Zelenkov.
In 2016, UMMC opened a small hotel “Copper Dvor” on the banks of the Kamenka River in Suzdal. As Vedomosti found out, the Tikhomirovs also took part in this project. The hotel was built by the Ecoresurs-invest company, a subsidiary of the Ecoresurs company, founded by the ex-director of the National charitable foundation(formerly the National Military Fund) by Anatoly Zhuravlev. The fund was created in 1999 on the initiative of President Vladimir Putin to attract donations from the largest Russian companies, which were used to build housing for the military, Novaya Gazeta wrote. Tikhomirov in 2010 bought 43.5% of Ecoresurs and, together with Yulia Tikhomirova, received half of Ecoresurs-invest. The second 50% of Ecoresurs-invest went to UMMC. In 2015, UMMC bought out the Tikhomirovs’ share and remained the sole owner of the hotel.
Ecoresurs bought Zadorin from the Tikhomirovs by 2010. In the same year, this company acquired 82% in LLC Institute for Security Problems of the CIS (IPB CIS). Zadorina took the position of deputy director there.
Ex-banker with a hoarder
Businesses have to buy new cash register equipment ten times more expensive than cost, RBC reported in early March with reference to State Duma deputy Andrei Lugovoy. This happens, according to Lugovoy, because the 8th FSB center has certified the only sample of a fiscal drive for new cash registers, which is produced only by affiliated companies CJSC Atlas-Kart, LLC Rik and CJSC Besant. Their beneficiary is Vladimir Shcherbakov, RBC quotes Lugovoy as saying. We are talking about ex-banker Shcherbakov, whose company was, together with the Russian Club of Economists Felix Shamkhalov, a co-founder of the CIS Institute for Security Problems, which in 2010 became the property of the youngest daughter of FSB Colonel General Anastasia Zadorina. Shcherbakov was a co-owner of BVA Bank, which lost its license in 2014. The investigation accused Shcherbakov and the bank’s top managers of siphoning money abroad, believing that with their help, from 2011 to 2014, about 10 billion rubles were transferred abroad under dubious schemes. The schemes were as follows, Kommersant reported: companies close to Shcherbakov and his partners purchased nickel powder and acrylic resin for FSUE Goznak in Singapore, but first supplied them to the countries of the European Union, from where they imported them to Russia at many times inflated prices. Shcherbakov could not be detained.
Safe MansionAt the beginning of December 2016, Deputy Secretary of the Security Council Rashid Nurgaliev arrived at a small mansion on the capital’s Mira Avenue. The purpose of the visit is to participate in a scientific and practical meeting on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the creation of the CIS. IPB CIS was entrusted with hosting the event.
What is IPB CIS? The institute has three directors and four employees. They prepare scientific reports and consultations “on a wide range of issues related to ensuring the security of the CIS,” according to the institute’s website. Among customers scientific research Institute - Vnukovo Airport, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Security Council. According to the Federal Antimonopoly Service, in 2013 the institute carried out research work worth 4.5 million rubles, in 2014 – 8.6 million rubles. In 2015, its revenue amounted to 9.5 million rubles, the loss was 252,000 rubles.
The main asset of the institute is its headquarters in a historic mansion built in 1901 on Mira Avenue. In 2006, the Institute received a mansion from the Moscow government for a preferential lease until 2030. According to the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the rental rate is 1 ruble. for 1 sq. m per year, i.e. renting a mansion in Moscow with an area of 878.7 sq. m can cost 878.7 rubles. per year. True, the capital's benefits were issued under the previous owners of the CIS IPB. In 2006, the institute belonged to the Russian Club of Economists, controlled by the former chairman of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Education, Felix Shamkhalov.
This was not Shamkhalov’s only deal with the Shekinah family. In 2007, Tikhomirov bought from the Russian Club of Economists 41% of Kosta LLC, which became part of the huge hunting estate of the Shekin family in the Yaroslavl region.
Hunting with state bankersKosta has a long-term lease of 8,400 hectares of hunting land, as indicated on the website of the administration of the Yaroslavl region.
After 2011, Tikhomirov’s share in Kosta passed to Zadorina. And 25% in the LLC was acquired by the Muflon company of VTB President Andrei Kostin and his deputy Vasily Titov. Another 16% went to Olga Zaostrovtseva, the daughter of former deputy director of the FSB Yuri Zaostrovtsev.
Next door to Kosta, in the village of Los on the street. Okhotnichya, 9, there is a huge Experimental forest hunting enterprise of the Federal Security Service of Russia (109,500 hectares leased until 2061). It went to the structures of Tikhomirova and her partners. The transfer of state property took place in several stages. After the corporatization of PJSC Los in 2010, it was auctioned for 40 million rubles. bought “Royal Hunt” of banker Pyotr Aven and owner of NLMK Vladimir Lisin. In 2014, businessmen sold the farm to Taels LLC, among the founders of which Aven had also once been, but by the time of the transaction he had sold the share to partners - Tikhomirova and VTB employee Sergei Erin, who consolidated 47% of the company's shares. Zaostrovtseva received another 6%.
From intelligence officers to hoteliers
Another business partner of Anastasia Zadorina, Maria Romanova, is the wife of a former intelligence officer, ex-adviser to the director of FSUE Rostek, Alexander Romanov. Together with Zadorina, in December 2015, she acquired control of the Luxus company, the Russian representative office of the famous Ecuadorian rose importer. In mid-December, Zadorina sold her stake in the company to her partners. The Romanov spouses in the register of companies of Montenegro are listed as equal owners of DOO Romanoff, which owns the Azimut and Romanov hotels on the Adriatic Sea. Previously, the co-owner of the company was Nadezhda Khoreva, whom Kommersant calls the wife of the former deputy head of the Department of Economic Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Andrei Khorev. Several years ago, both Romanov and Khorev became involved in criminal cases. Khorev was suspected of giving a bribe and trafficking in weapons, but all criminal cases fell apart. Romanov was accused of organizing commercial bribery. According to investigators, he and his accomplices collected additional payments from importers “for expedited processing.” The investigation also discovered that in 2009, the wives of Khorev and Romanov purchased the Azimut Hotel and four plots of land in Montenegro for 6.5 million euros, Kommersant wrote. In 2014, the Sevsky District Court of the Bryansk Region sentenced Romanov to five years in prison and a fine of 117 million rubles.
As a result, Zadorina and Tikhomirova’s structure turned out to be the main co-owners of two recreation centers with hunting grounds with an area of 117,900 hectares. And by the way, with its own Los heliport, owned by the FSB.
At the same time, Tikhomirova invested in pharmaceuticals. In 2010, together with Rotavchikov, they bought 20% of NPK Nanosystem LLC from the pharmaceutical holding Farmeco. Shortly before this, 24% in the latter was bought by the daughter of Transneft President, FSB Major General Nikolai Tokarev, Maya Bolotova. The Nanosystems presentation says that its main goal is the development and commercialization of highly effective drugs for the treatment of cancer, tuberculosis and other socially significant diseases.
In 2013, Nanosystem became one of a dozen companies with which the Ministry of Industry and Trade entered into a contract for preclinical studies of water-compatible nano-sized forms of rifabutin under the federal target program “Development of the Pharmaceutical and Medical Industry until 2020.” Nanosystem received 31 million rubles for research.
But over time, Nanosystem lost ground. The company's revenue decreased from a maximum of 677 million rubles. in 2012 to 164 million rubles. in 2014. There are no later reports in SPARK.
Sweet life“Too cool for a city cafe,” TimeOut magazine wrote in 2006 about the two-story Lubyansky restaurant, which operated in the FSB residence on Malaya Lubyanka, 7. The establishment, decorated in black and ash tones, belonged to the Quorum-invest company. , close to the Zhuravlev National Military Foundation - the same one from whom Tikhomirov bought the Ecoresurs company. In 2007, Tikhomirov acquired 60% of Quorum-invest, another 10% went to Smirnov.
A year later, when the lease agreement for the building expired, Tikhomirov and his partners sold Quorum-invest. In 2012, the company went bankrupt and was liquidated.
But Shekinah was not left without restaurants.
In 2013, Dynamo Service by Yulia Tikhomirova for 12 million rubles. purchased the Royal Bar restaurant on Leningradskoye Shosse, next to the Dynamo Sports Palace, which opened in 2013. Tikhomirova received a complex with an area of 8,000 square meters. m, which includes a restaurant, a summer veranda, a private beach with a swimming pool, volleyball and children's playgrounds, a marina and tents, she told Vodabereg.ru.
Zadorina also got her own restaurant. In 2015, she, together with the famous lawyer and restaurateur Alexander Rappoport, opened “Russia’s first restaurant of Pan-American cuisine,” Latin Quarter. A year later, the partners adjusted the concept of the establishment, turning the restaurant into a Latinos cevicheria. Rappoport declined to comment, referring all questions to Zadorina.

“I will do everything, father,” he said.
- Well, now goodbye! “He let his son kiss his hand and hugged him. “Remember one thing, Prince Andrei: if they kill you, it will hurt my old man...” He suddenly fell silent and suddenly continued in a loud voice: “and if I find out that you did not behave like the son of Nikolai Bolkonsky, I will be ... ashamed!” – he squealed.
“You don’t have to tell me this, father,” the son said, smiling.
The old man fell silent.
“I also wanted to ask you,” continued Prince Andrei, “if they kill me and if I have a son, do not let him go from you, as I told you yesterday, so that he can grow up with you... please.”
- Shouldn’t I give it to my wife? - said the old man and laughed.
They stood silently opposite each other. The old man's quick eyes were directly fixed on his son's eyes. Something trembled in the lower part of the old prince’s face.
- Goodbye... go! - he suddenly said. - Go! - he shouted in an angry and loud voice, opening the office door.
- What is it, what? - asked the princess and princess, seeing Prince Andrei and the figure of an old man in a white robe, without a wig and wearing old man’s glasses, sticking out for a moment, shouting in an angry voice.
Prince Andrei sighed and did not answer.
“Well,” he said, turning to his wife.
And this “well” sounded like a cold mockery, as if he was saying: “now do your tricks.”
– Andre, deja! [Andrey, already!] - said the little princess, turning pale and looking at her husband with fear.
He hugged her. She screamed and fell unconscious on his shoulder.
He carefully moved away the shoulder on which she was lying, looked into her face and carefully sat her down on a chair.
“Adieu, Marieie, [Goodbye, Masha,”] he said quietly to his sister, kissed her hand in hand and quickly walked out of the room.
The princess was lying in a chair, M lle Burien was rubbing her temples. Princess Marya, supporting her daughter-in-law, with tear-stained beautiful eyes, still looked at the door through which Prince Andrei came out, and baptized him. From the office one could hear, like gunshots, the often repeated angry sounds of an old man blowing his nose. As soon as Prince Andrei left, the office door quickly opened and the stern figure of an old man in a white robe looked out.
- Left? Well, good! - he said, looking angrily at the emotionless little princess, shook his head reproachfully and slammed the door.
In October 1805, Russian troops occupied villages and towns of the Archduchy of Austria, and more new regiments came from Russia and, burdening the residents with billeting, were stationed at the Braunau fortress. The main apartment of Commander-in-Chief Kutuzov was in Braunau.
On October 11, 1805, one of the infantry regiments that had just arrived at Braunau, awaiting inspection by the commander-in-chief, stood half a mile from the city. Despite the non-Russian terrain and situation (orchards, stone fences, tiled roofs, mountains visible in the distance), despite the non-Russian people looking at the soldiers with curiosity, the regiment had exactly the same appearance as any Russian regiment had when preparing for a review somewhere in the middle of Russia.
In the evening, on the last march, an order was received that the commander-in-chief would inspect the regiment on the march. Although the words of the order seemed unclear to the regimental commander, and the question arose how to understand the words of the order: in marching uniform or not? In the council of battalion commanders, it was decided to present the regiment in full dress uniform on the grounds that it is always better to bow than not to bow. And the soldiers, after a thirty-mile march, did not sleep a wink, they repaired and cleaned themselves all night; adjutants and company commanders counted and expelled; and by morning the regiment, instead of the sprawling, disorderly crowd that it had been the day before during the last march, represented an orderly mass of 2,000 people, each of whom knew his place, his job, and of whom, on each of them, every button and strap was in its place and sparkled with cleanliness . Not only was the outer part in good order, but if the commander-in-chief had wanted to look under the uniforms, he would have seen an equally clean shirt on each one and in each knapsack he would have found the legal number of things, “stuff and soap,” as the soldiers say. There was only one circumstance about which no one could be calm. It was shoes. More than half the people's boots were broken. But this deficiency was not due to the fault of the regimental commander, since, despite repeated demands, the goods were not released to him from the Austrian department, and the regiment traveled a thousand miles.
The regimental commander was an elderly, sanguine general with graying eyebrows and sideburns, thick-set and wider from chest to back than from one shoulder to the other. He was wearing a new, brand new uniform with wrinkled folds and thick golden epaulettes, which seemed to lift his fat shoulders upward rather than downwards. The regimental commander had the appearance of a man happily performing one of the most solemn affairs of life. He walked in front of the front and, as he walked, trembled at every step, slightly arching his back. It was clear that the regimental commander was admiring his regiment, happy with it, that all his mental strength was occupied only with the regiment; but, despite the fact that his trembling gait seemed to say that, in addition to military interests, the interests of social life and the female sex occupied a significant place in his soul.
“Well, Father Mikhailo Mitrich,” he turned to one battalion commander (the battalion commander leaned forward smiling; it was clear that they were happy), “it was a lot of trouble this night.” However, it seems that nothing is wrong, the regiment is not bad... Eh?
The battalion commander understood the funny irony and laughed.
- And in Tsaritsyn Meadow they wouldn’t have driven you away from the field.
- What? - said the commander.
At this time, along the road from the city, along which the makhalnye were placed, two horsemen appeared. These were the adjutant and the Cossack riding behind.
The adjutant was sent from the main headquarters to confirm to the regimental commander what was said unclearly in yesterday's order, namely, that the commander-in-chief wanted to see the regiment exactly in the position in which it was marching - in overcoats, in covers and without any preparations.
A member of the Gofkriegsrat from Vienna arrived to Kutuzov the day before, with proposals and demands to join the army of Archduke Ferdinand and Mack as soon as possible, and Kutuzov, not considering this connection beneficial, among other evidence in favor of his opinion, intended to show the Austrian general that sad situation , in which troops came from Russia. For this purpose, he wanted to go out to meet the regiment, so the worse the situation of the regiment, the more pleasant it would be for the commander-in-chief. Although the adjutant did not know these details, he conveyed to the regimental commander the commander-in-chief’s indispensable requirement that the people wear overcoats and covers, and that otherwise the commander-in-chief would be dissatisfied. Having heard these words, the regimental commander lowered his head, silently raised his shoulders and spread his hands with a sanguine gesture.
- We've done things! - he said. “I told you, Mikhailo Mitrich, that on a campaign, we wear greatcoats,” he turned reproachfully to the battalion commander. - Oh, my God! - he added and decisively stepped forward. - Gentlemen, company commanders! – he shouted in a voice familiar to the command. - Sergeants major!... Will they be here soon? - he turned to the arriving adjutant with an expression of respectful courtesy, apparently referring to the person about whom he was speaking.
- In an hour, I think.
- Will we have time to change clothes?
- I don’t know, General...
The regimental commander himself approached the ranks and ordered that they change into their overcoats again. The company commanders scattered to their companies, the sergeants began to fuss (the overcoats were not entirely in good working order) and at the same moment the previously regular, silent quadrangles swayed, stretched out, and hummed with conversation. Soldiers ran and ran up from all sides, threw them from behind with their shoulders, dragged backpacks over their heads, took off their greatcoats and, raising their arms high, pulled them into their sleeves.
Half an hour later everything returned to its previous order, only the quadrangles turned gray from black. The regimental commander, again with a trembling gait, stepped forward of the regiment and looked at it from afar.
- What else is this? What is this! – he shouted, stopping. - Commander of the 3rd company!..
- Commander of the 3rd company to the general! commander to the general, 3rd company to the commander!... - voices were heard along the ranks, and the adjutant ran to look for the hesitant officer.
When the sounds of diligent voices, misinterpreting, shouting “general to the 3rd company”, reached their destination, the required officer appeared from behind the company and, although the man was already elderly and did not have the habit of running, awkwardly clinging to his toes, trotted towards the general. The captain's face expressed the anxiety of a schoolboy who is told to tell a lesson he has not learned. There were spots on his red (obviously from intemperance) nose, and his mouth could not find a position. The regimental commander examined the captain from head to toe as he approached breathlessly, slowing his pace as he approached.
– You’ll soon dress people up in sundresses! What is this? - shouted the regimental commander, extending his lower jaw and pointing in the ranks of the 3rd company to a soldier in an overcoat the color of factory cloth, different from other overcoats. – Where were you? The commander-in-chief is expected, and you are moving away from your place? Huh?... I'll teach you how to dress people in Cossacks for a parade!... Huh?...
The company commander, without taking his eyes off his superior, pressed his two fingers more and more to the visor, as if in this one pressing he now saw his salvation.
- Well, why are you silent? Who's dressed up as a Hungarian? – the regimental commander joked sternly.
- Your Excellency...
- Well, what about “Your Excellency”? Your Excellency! Your Excellency! And what about Your Excellency, no one knows.
“Your Excellency, this is Dolokhov, demoted...” the captain said quietly.
– Was he demoted to field marshal or something, or to soldier? And a soldier must be dressed like everyone else, in uniform.
“Your Excellency, you yourself allowed him to go.”
- Allowed? Allowed? “You’re always like this, young people,” said the regimental commander, cooling down somewhat. - Allowed? I’ll tell you something, and you and...” The regimental commander paused. - I’ll tell you something, and you and... - What? - he said, getting irritated again. - Please dress people decently...
And the regimental commander, looking back at the adjutant, walked towards the regiment with his trembling gait. It was clear that he himself liked his irritation, and that, having walked around the regiment, he wanted to find another pretext for his anger. Having cut off one officer for not cleaning his badge, another for being out of line, he approached the 3rd company.
- How are you standing? Where's the leg? Where's the leg? - the regimental commander shouted with an expression of suffering in his voice, still about five people short of Dolokhov, dressed in a bluish overcoat.
Dolokhov slowly straightened his bent leg and looked straight into the general’s face with his bright and insolent gaze.
- Why the blue overcoat? Down with... Sergeant Major! Changing his clothes... rubbish... - He didn’t have time to finish.
In the Directorate “M” of the FSB of the Russian Federation - one of the key counterintelligence units supervising the activities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation - a new manager. This was the former vice-president of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) Anatoly Tyukov. Previously, in particular, he headed the FSB Directorate for the Novgorod Region, but left this post a year after the Nevsky Express train was blown up in the region. The previous head of Directorate “M” Alexey Dorofeev became the head of the FSB Directorate for Moscow and the Moscow Region.
As a source in the special services told Rosbalt, last week Anatoly Tyukov was introduced to the employees of Directorate M as the new leader. The press service of the United Shipbuilding Corporation told the agency that Tyukov left the post of vice president of this structure a week ago. However, they know nothing about his new place of work.
Anatoly Tyukov is a career employee of the FSB of the Russian Federation. At various times he served in counterintelligence units in the Bryansk and Amur regions, and from the latter region he went on business trips to China and Korea. In 1998, he was appointed first deputy head of the FSB Directorate for the Republic of Ingushetia. As the counterintelligence officer said in one of his interviews, in the North Caucasus he, among other things, was involved in the release of hostages (in particular, a citizen of Slovenia, the wife of the former head of Gosstandart, the son of an official from Tatarstan, officers of the 137th border detachment, etc.). Tyukov told reporters that he even had to somehow communicate with Shamil Basayev. The issue of releasing the head of the FSB Directorate of Ingushetia, Yuri Gribov, who was captured by bandits, was discussed with the leader of the militants. Following his service in the North Caucasus, Tyukov was awarded the Order of Courage.
In 2000, Tyukov was summoned by the then director of the FSB of the Russian Federation, Nikolai Patrushev, and announced his appointment as head of the FSB Directorate of the Novgorod Region. He worked in this position for eight years. During the period when Tyukov headed the FSB, a crime was committed on the territory of the Novgorod region. major terrorist attack. On August 13, 2007, attackers blew up the Nevsky Express train, injuring about 60 passengers. A year after this, Tyukov was removed from his post as head of the FSB and transferred to work in the central office of the FSB of the Russian Federation. And in the summer of 2009, he was appointed vice president for safety of the United Shipbuilding Corporation. Apparently, while holding this position, Tyukov continued to remain a career counterintelligence officer. “Anatoly Pavlovich was seconded from the FSB to USC at the request of then Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin, who oversaw the activities of the shipbuilding corporation,” said a Rosbalt source in the intelligence services.
In June 2012, Tyukov was considered as one of the candidates for the post of USC president. “However, it was decided to give preference to a person directly from the shipbuilding industry - Andrey Dyachkov,” a source close to USC told the agency. In December, Tyukov returned to the FSB, where he became head of Directorate M.
The Directorate for Counterintelligence Support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Justice (Directorate “M”) of the FSB of the Russian Federation has changed for the third time in the last two years. Until February 2010, this unit was headed by Vladimir Kryuchkov, who was then transferred to the position of deputy head of the organizational and inspection department of the FSB of the Russian Federation. He was replaced by Alexey Dorofeev, who previously headed the FSB Directorate of Karelia and was transferred from there to the central office of the FSB after the pogroms in Kondopoga. Recently, Dorofeev was appointed head of the FSB Directorate for Moscow and the Moscow Region. Now Anatoly Tyukov will control the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Emergency Situations in counterintelligence.
Alexander Shvarev
What role did high-ranking people from state security structures play in the largest Russian corporations?
“This is correct information, he has returned to service,” said Rosneft head Igor Sechin in response to a question about the fate of FSB General Oleg Feoktistov. Why is this general interesting?
It is believed that Feoktistov was behind the multi-step operation that ended with the arrest of former Minister of Economy Alexei Ulyukaev. Before joining Rosneft, Feoktistov worked in the Federal Security Service. After completing the “special operation” he returned there. The story received a wide response and became significant for understanding how the interaction system is evolving Russian business and security forces.
In the early 1990s, existing employees left the authorities state security and got cushy jobs in newly created private financial and industrial groups. Some of them rose to serious positions and became co-owners. YUKOS, Gusinsky's Most group, Lukoil, Alpha group - under almost every oligarch of the 1990s you can find a general.
The rise to power of Vladimir Putin radically changed the picture. If earlier people with shoulder straps performed the functions of lobbyists for large capital in the security forces and, more broadly, in government agencies, then over time their functions became different.
Massive landing of former and current intelligence officers into the authorities state power forced large business structures to think about finding people who could act as intermediaries in communication with the security forces. Some of these people turned out to be public and in some cases even became the face of the company.
Meanwhile, processes developed. As the general public gradually became aware, special units were formed within the structure of the FSB and other intelligence services to oversee the situation in the largest companies and sectors of the Russian economy. At the same time, through the institution of “seconded” employees, Russian intelligence services established direct control over key processes in Russian corporations.
The episode with Rosneft and General Feoktistov is indicative in this sense, because it showed the relationship between large companies and intelligence services in the most public way possible (in current conditions).
