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 Russian Department of Internal Affairs 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. To all inquiries about where the materials are located, PASMI journalists are answered 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.
“Studying the case in the Prosecutor General’s Office Russian Federation showed that the preliminary investigation into the second episode of Ekimov V.S. 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.
The main candidate for the post of the new head of the “K” department of the FSB was an employee of the intelligence service’s Internal Security Directorate, Ivan Tkachev. He was involved in the development of the case of MVD generals Sugrobov and Kolesnikov

"Banking" department
The main contender for the post of head of the “K” department of the FSB was the head of the 6th service of the FSB Internal Security Directorate, Ivan Tkachev, an interlocutor close to the counterintelligence leadership told RBC, and a source in the FSB confirmed.
Tkachev’s appointment is expected in the near future, says one of RBC’s interlocutors. But his candidacy has yet to be approved by FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov. If the appointment takes place, for Tkachev the transition from the post of head of the service to the post of head of the department will be “a jump through several steps at once,” says a source in the intelligence service.
The 6th Internal Security Service of the FSB was created in 2008, it includes only 35 people, says an RBC source. The powers of this unit were not officially announced.
Tkachev played a key role in the case ex-head of the Main Directorate of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, says RBC’s FSB interlocutor.
Sugrobov and his deputy Boris Kolesnikov were detained in 2014 on charges of provoking a bribe, exceeding official authority and organizing a criminal community. In June of the same year, Kolesnikov died after falling from a balcony in the Investigative Committee building after interrogation.
Resignations in two departments
According to Rosbalt, resignation reports were written by the heads of two more departments that are part of the structure of the FSB SEB - these are the heads of divisions “P” and “T”, which are engaged in counterintelligence support for industrial and transport enterprises, respectively.
“The heads of the entire economic bloc of the FSB are leaving the department. All of them have been in place for a long time, age. But, of course, this is not the reason for the resignation. IN Lately SEB's relations with the Internal Security Department of the FSB of the Russian Federation became strained; scandalous stories began to arise that developed into criminal cases or so-called operational reports. There was a rather difficult situation last summer, but then somehow the parties were “taken to the corners.” Now it didn’t work out,” said a Rosbalt source in the intelligence services.
According to him, Oleg Feoktistov, who is now the deputy head of the department, could become the head of the CSS.
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 Leningrad region, then, under the former director of the FSB Patrushev, he headed the economic security service (SEB) of the FSB.
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), 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. Eldest daughter- lawyer, drives an Infinity FX 3. The youngest 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 leases 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 non-commercial partnership individual developers "Beijing" (management real estate) 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, a land plot (1040 sq. m.) has been registered for the second half. new flat(117.3 sq. m.) and a summer house (193 sq. m.).
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 USSR KGB Higher School, 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.
Structure of the FSB
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 establishments, medicine, rest homes, sanitary and epidemiological services 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.
The system itself also started high-profile scandals. The most recent one happened in Nizhny Novgorod. According to the materials of the criminal case, the head of the investigation department of the FSB Directorate for 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 their 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 who were werewolves. The service is headed by an old acquaintance of Putin - 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 intelligence 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 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 appeared in a criminal case, according to which Far East Entire trainloads of Chinese contraband were delivered 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 covenants? former director FSB Patrushev (now Secretary of the Security Council)? I quote 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 in simple words, but with concepts filled with deep inner content, moral basis 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 reported to Smirnov, now it reports directly to FSB Director 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 operational information contains addresses in Eastern Europe where he might 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, the head of customs - former employee The KGB and Putin's friend Belyaninov - readers already know.
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.
* The editors, for security reasons, naturally omit the names of children and personal transport numbers.
Who and how is called upon to control all this hectic economy - in the nearest rooms.
Help "Novaya"
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).

Compromising evidence
Shortly before his death, Minkin, through his lawyer, gave me a letter that he wrote at the end of July of this year to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Don’t think that the addressee’s last name is important here. The businessman’s acquaintances unanimously assure that the author himself had little faith that his appeal would ever deserve the attention of the president. This is just a prison diary turned into a prison confession. “Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich! In complete despair, I appeal directly to you as the first person of the state and the guarantor of the Constitution with a request to protect my constitutional rights. I remember very well your words spoken at the congress of the Popular Front, it seems, in the fall of 2011: the main goal of your politics - to create conditions under which it is not the person who exists for the state, but the state for the person. The repressive apparatus of the state has fallen upon me with all its might, I ask you to protect me as an individual, especially since this apparatus in my case personifies not the state, but the state. a certain group of people who have appropriated the right to speak on behalf of the state, although they represent a real organized criminal group. I will say right away: I will not swear that I have always been an ardent supporter of the political line pursued by you, but over time I have increasingly begun to understand the correctness of what. You do. That's why I joined the party." United Russia“at the beginning of 2011, when, according to certain signs, a certain weakness of the political line pursued by you began to be felt and I sincerely wanted to support it. I was increasingly satisfied with the fact that in addition to building a vertical power<…>Strong elements of enlightened conservatism and a social market economy began to emerge more and more in it.<…>In addition to supporting your political line as a member of the party in power, even earlier, at the beginning of the first decade of our century, I became, so to speak, an ardent supporter of the FSB, realizing that this service is the only body that can resist the tendency of Russia to slide into a corrupt state . That is why, in a situation where the Berezovsky-Rybkin party was illegally collecting signatures to promote its presidential candidate, I found the strength and civic courage, despite the considerable money offered to me, to assist the FSB in suppressing the illegal activities of this party. The above information does not mean that all the facts of my business activities and my life are impeccable, but I have always tried not to cross the line of the law. On November 19, 2013, several dozen employees of the Fourth Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation arrived in the building at the address: Volokolamskoe Highway, 95, building 6, which is rented by Infrastructure Service Plus LLC, where I am Deputy General Director, as part of Operation Zaslon-2. During the inspection, out of more than a thousand residents, 6 people were identified, according to police officers, without properly executed documents. Already on November 20, 2013, a criminal case was initiated under Part 2 of Art. <…>322.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (organization of illegal migration) and two managers were arrested - 26-year-old Vitaly Olshevsky and 35-year-old Zhanna Babitskaya. It should be said right away: I will always firmly stand on the opinion that none of the police officers wanted to look into the situation in good faith. Of the 6 identified migrants, three were included in the protection lists (PSC FOSST), that is, their documents were duly photocopied and transferred to the Federal Migration Service for registration; two were let through by a security officer 10-20 minutes before the raid. I do not know the reasons for the entry and presence of one migrant. At least two of the detained migrants subsequently returned safely to Russian territory legally. Around the same time, representatives of one of the ethnic criminal groups appear at the enterprise, beat our general director and offer their “protection.” After some time, someone Nikolai (who later turned out to be Kamal Tarziev) contacts me, who threatens me with murder by representatives of this group, offers his help, claims that he represents the interests of serious. On the recommendation of the holding’s security service, we sent appeals to the ethnic crime department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Central Federal District. It clearly said: Tarziev is a fraudster who demands money for nothing. Although Tarziev constantly insisted that if we refuse to come under the “roof” of these security forces, they will create unbearable conditions for us to do business. He said that his high-ranking patrons, the generals, were very unhappy with my behavior; that a lot of such dissenters have already been sent to prison. I didn’t quite believe it, but the threats were real. When Tarziev was detained on January 13, 2014, exactly one day later he confessed to everything: that all his actions were directed by Damir Salimov, the chief of police of the fourth department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. As soon as this became clear, I, to be honest, shuddered. Although I have many elements of courage, here I was not so naive as not to understand what was threatening me personally... I immediately turned to the deputy head of the ethnic crime department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Central Federal District, Mikhail Shatalkin, employee Alexander Gorshkov and head of the department Kuznetsov. They assured me personally that I had nothing to fear. I told them that I was ready to renounce the statement, since I understood perfectly well that if Salimov, having connections and positions in law enforcement agencies, conditionally “wins,” then I will be ground into powder. After that, Shatalkin introduced me to two, as he said, responsible employees of the FSB: Evgeny Ivanovich Sviridov (according to him, curator of the fourth department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation) and Denis Nikolaevich Demenkov, supposedly curator of the Central Federal District. They assured me that the FSB was conducting operational research on Salimov. <…>Tarziev’s phrases kept spinning in my head that if I didn’t cooperate [with him], then problems would be created for me; that they sent many entrepreneurs who refused to work with them to prison.<…>I was introduced to a seconded FSB officer to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Central Federal District, who assured me of full support from the FSB and asked me to hold on. The fact is that at that time my physical condition was simply terrible - I had multiple intervertebral hernia, and I moved with great difficulty on two crutches. At the same time, all [FSB employees] argued that the criminal case against illegal migration was fabricated and could be considered closed. I was asked not to tell anyone about Salimov’s ongoing development, while it was argued that the FSB and the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would remove Salimov from the post of chief of police. I was faced with a terrible choice: either to ensure a calm future for myself and others by standing under the “police roof”, or to trust the FSB officers and act on their recommendations. And I believed it. But not to the employees - but first of all to the authority of the body for the protection of state security. I had no intention of participating in any showdowns.<…>I was clearly assured: you are acting in the interests of the state, the operation was coordinated with the leadership of the FSB Directorate (Dorofeev), the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for Moscow (Yakunin), the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Central Federal District (Derevianko), the situation was reported to the Minister of Internal Affairs (I forgot his last name out of excitement). I was also told: the head of the fourth department (Vasilevsky) is a representative of the new leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he really wants to get rid of Salimov. I was very scared on March 5, 2014, when Salimov was detained.<…>I remember this day very well - I was called at night, right when Salimov was being detained. They told me: “We have achieved our goal!” But this was not my goal, but the goal of the people responsible for state security. I turned out to be a cog that will soon be broken. Easy to use. Everyone will come to an agreement with each other, and I will end up in prison... I remember that to all my fears for my own fate, as well as the fate of my son, the fate of other possible defendants in the criminal case, I was given the answer: forget it, we guarantee everyone’s safety, otherwise how could will we fight corruption? They even promised me a program for protecting victims, but then they somehow forgot this topic... I was also told that the criminal case on organizing illegal migration was taken away from the Investigative Department of the Fourth Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation due to a biased investigation in the Main Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in Moscow and will soon be closed . As for the question of why Salimov was released, they told me: this is a slap in the face for the FSB, he strained his connections and money, but the FSB will not forgive him for this. Vladimir Vladimirovich, I want to emphasize once again: I was not that naive, but I believed everything that was told to me, because I believed in the authority of the FSB. And assurances of support came from senior FSB officers during numerous meetings: not far from the building where the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Central Federal District was located on Shabolovka, and not far from the building of the Moscow FSB department on Lubyanka, and not far from the building of the RF IC department on Tatarskaya. And then the topic suddenly changed... I was told that the case was filed legally and that I had to pay to keep my son and I safe. They told me the amount of 15 million rubles. I said that I didn’t have that kind of money in my accounts and that I needed to sell the apartment. After which they told me that the money is needed now. Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich! I know the complaints procedure. While the complaint is being written to<…>investigative bodies at various levels - my health will be completely undermined. I fear for the fate of my son - he has had five heart surgeries.<…>My business is already destroyed. My life is trampled, my honor is trampled upon. The torment is unbearable. And even bigger ones await.<…>Who will ever believe in the state and the FSB if those who believe in the fight against corruption and agree to participate [in the fight] will face cruel and merciless revenge, prison and ruined lives? On July 15, 2014, Tarziev’s trial was supposed to take place. On July 11, my lawyer received a summons [for questioning] for me on July 15. On July 12, I was recognized as a suspect in absentia, immediately put on the wanted list, on July 13 they conducted a search, detained me, recognized me as an accused, and on July 14 I was arrested. So, I was taken away on the night of July 13th. And Tarziev was beaten on the eve of his trial. His pre-trial agreement was rejected - does that mean he is a fraudster and made it all up? What objectivity of the investigation can one count on if Salimov<…>actually heads the fully operational support of a criminal case involving illegal migrants? Vladimir Vladimirovich, I believe in you, I believe in the fight against corruption, I continue to believe in the FSB. Don't let this faith die with me. Do not let this faith perish among many of your sincere supporters. Sorry for the somewhat crumpled and chaotic style - my thoughts are confused. The conditions in which I am writing an appeal to you are not conducive to calm reflection. After all, it turns out that by believing those who urged me not to be afraid, I ruined my son and myself. Help! Minkin Yuri Borisovich, Butyrka prison cell, July 26, 2014.”
