It is quite possible that in the criminal history of pensioner Natalya Bushlanova, from which, as the woman assured, the Ulyanovsk law enforcement agencies beat out confessions to the double murder of family members of the famous businessman Lev Hasanov, an end would be put. After her solo picket near the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in Moscow, the woman received an invitation to a personal meeting with the leadership of the Investigative Committee of Russia. The deputy head of the Investigative Committee, Colonel-General Elena Leonenko, studied all the details of the resonant criminal case for an hour. After personal communication with Leonenko, Bushlanova returned to Ulyanovsk reassured.

Let us remind you that this absurd story lasted for several months. A patient of a neuropsychiatric hospital, a pensioner without a fixed abode Natalya Bushlanova, Ulyanovsk operatives and investigators, she said, were forced to confess that she was the "customer" for the murder of Serafima and Lyudmila Hasanov. According to the woman, the motivation for this accusation was the fact that Bushlanova borrowed a large sum of money from Hasanov. Although Lev Hasanov was not the only one from whom Bushlanova took money, a few years ago a woman created a financial pyramid in Ulyanovsk. But it was Hasanov who was one of the few who managed to get their money back. According to Bushlanova, Lev Hasanov took away all of her real estate on account of the debt, leaving the pensioner homeless. It was not clear how the old woman, who spent the night at the door of the church and traded in odd jobs for a year, could become a customer of a double murder.

However, over the past months, according to Bushlanova, she was the main suspect in this high-profile criminal case. Although, we note that later the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee made a statement that Bushlanova was a witness in the case, not an accused.

However, the woman did not believe the local investigators and, fearing that the pressure on her would continue, she went to Moscow for help.

According to Natalia Bushlanova, all her hope was for a personal meeting with Deputy Head of the Investigative Committee under the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, Colonel General Elena Leonenko:

“You know, Elena Evgenievna spoke to me as a person, and not as a mad dog under the fence. Despite the fact that I am probably dressed very simply, that I am yesterday's homeless person, that I barely had enough money to travel to Moscow.

I do not trust the Ulyanovsk law enforcement agencies, but the investigators from the capital inspire confidence in me. For the first time in many months, I can sleep peacefully and not wake up from the nightmares that I was arrested for murder. I am largely to blame, I took money from many ... I admit it. I will pay on the sly, I am ready to bear responsibility for it. But I am not to blame for the murder of Hasanov's wife and mother. I loved these women, and I really hope that the real killers will be found. I would like to thank Elena Evgenievna and Alexander Bastrykin. I am sure that only thanks to these caring people I am still free. "

Note that Elena Leonenko, who received Natalia Bushlanova, is the only female general in the Russian Investigative Committee, which is probably why the pensioner felt sympathy on her part. And Elena Evgenievna is a classmate of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, and is considered one of the most professional and respected employees of the Russian Investigative Committee.

About choosing a profession

Who oversees the investigative committee

The government on Friday submitted to the State Duma a bill allowing the Prosecutor General's Office, the Investigative Committee (ICR) and the Judicial Department under the Supreme Court to create their own departmental security. These amendments do not require the allocation of additional budgetary funds, but at the stage of their implementation, such funding may be needed, emphasized in the explanatory note to the draft law and in the financial and economic justification (see cut). “The adoption of the draft itself will not require expenses, but it contains provisions that may turn out to be costly, and the government is given the right to adopt them. Therefore, the authors do not describe the financial and economic justification, "- explains the interlocutor in the State Duma apparatus.

As it was indicated in the certificate (Vedomosti got acquainted with it) for the meeting of the government commission on legislative activity, at which the amendments were approved, this proposal is reduction of the number of the police, which was previously entrusted with the responsibility to protect these facilities. " At the same time, the Ministry of Finance, as stated in the statement, does not support the bill, "since its implementation will require the allocation of additional appropriations from the federal budget," not provided for by the current budget law.

The bill will not require the allocation of budgetary funds, since this document itself "does not define specific decisions affecting the specified income and expenses," says the explanatory note.

Deputy Director of the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops Sergei Lebedev has been instructed to officially present the bill to the State Duma. He deals with issues of private security and the FSUE Okhrana, and the Rosgvardia itself oversees all types of security in the country (except for the FSO), so Lebedev was sent to the Duma, explains a person in the central office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now, according to him, the protection of the Prosecutor General's Office, the TFR and the courts is carried out on a competitive basis by private security companies, private security guards and FSUE Okhrana, but sometimes this creates problems, especially against the background of the reduction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and private security (now transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Russian Guard). Therefore, these special departments, which are not executive bodies and therefore were not previously taken into account in the legislation, and asked to create their own departmental security, adds the interlocutor. To solve the problem with security, you need to create an independent body, maintain and train people, they must have weapons and when all this is concentrated in a single system, it is cheaper for the state, believes the former Deputy Prosecutor of Moscow, State Duma Deputy Yuri Sinelshchikov: “Our state has no for which there is no money, but it is necessary to reasonably redistribute funds, because it is economically more profitable for the guard to be one for all. "

The reduction in police protection at one time created serious problems for the courts. For example, the judicial department in Moscow was forced to urgently conclude a contract for the provision of services for the armed protection of the buildings of Moscow courts with the private public organization "Kazachya Guard". Then an official of the judicial department told Vedomosti that the courts asked the Ministry of Finance to increase the budget allocated for security, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs - to reduce tariffs for security services, but were refused everywhere.

Does today's decree of President Medvedev promise true independence of the Investigative Committee? The former investigator for especially important cases of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia Vladimir Kalinichenko and the retired police lieutenant general, member of the State Duma security committee, United Russia faction Alexey Rozuvan are arguing about this.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree on the creation of an independent Investigative Committee on the basis of the Investigative Committee under the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation and submitted to the State Duma a draft federal law "On the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation", the Kremlin press service reported on Monday. According to the bill, the Investigative Committee is separated from the General Prosecutor's Office and begins to function as an independent structure. "The two-year practice of the Investigative Committee under the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation has shown the need for a clearer distinction between the functions of prosecutorial supervision and preliminary investigation," the Kremlin press service said in a statement. "The functioning of the investigative committee outside the system of the prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation will create the necessary conditions for the exercise of the powers of prosecutors to supervise the procedural activities of the preliminary investigation bodies, will increase the objectivity of the investigation, thereby ensuring the rule of law in the field of criminal proceedings and strict observance of the constitutional rights of citizens." The creation of the Investigative Committee should be followed by the withdrawal of the investigation from other law enforcement agencies with their subsequent merger on the basis of a single Investigative Committee, as well as the expansion of the functions of prosecutorial supervision. About whether today's decree of President Medvedev promises true independence of the Investigative Committee, today we are talking with Vladimir Kalinichenko, a former investigator for especially important cases of the USSR Prosecutor General's Office and Alexei Rozuvan, a retired police lieutenant general, a member of the Duma security committee, a deputy from the faction " United Russia". How was the investigation structured in the Soviet Union, and will the new system make it possible to increase the objectivity of the investigation?

Vladimir Kalinichenko: First of all, I must say that over 40 years of professional activity, I know this topic, which has been repeatedly discussed, and sooner or later it had to be solved - the creation of a single Investigative Committee. Why was it not created during these forty years? Because there was a huge opposition from various power structures, each pulling the blanket over itself. That is, the military prosecutor's office and investigators were supported by the Ministry of Defense, they did not want to part with the investigation. The State Security Committee had its own investigation, it also did not want to lose it. Shchelokov tried to drag the preliminary investigation to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the same way, the prosecutor's office did not want to leave. That is, everyone understood what an important weapon in the political and internal struggle is a preliminary investigation. Therefore, the creation of the Investigative Committee, it seems to me, was inevitable. Although I must say that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the first Kazakhstan followed this path. It turned out to be unsuccessful, and they returned to normal. But this does not mean at all that the decision made today is wrong. I think it is correct.
But here you need to understand, from my point of view, one very essential thing. When the Investigative Committee was created under the Prosecutor's Office, that is, the UPC which was, there was a very interesting situation in it - they were under the Prosecutor's Office, but in fact there was no prosecutor's supervision over the activities of the UPC. And therefore, within this structure, the so-called workers arose - they were not prosecutors, employees of the investigative committee, who carried out the so-called procedural control. It was the same as in the prosecutor's office, only with a slightly different name. Therefore, in order not to say much and at length, I believe that the creation of the Investigative Committee, firstly, it must certainly be united. I understand that it is still very difficult to do this organizationally, because this requires buildings, premises, and certain funding. It is the matter of time. There should be a single investigation, but under one, from my point of view, very important condition - in the presence of effective prosecutorial supervision. That is, it is necessary to return to the prosecutor's office the real functions of overseeing the rule of law and the appropriate capabilities to respond to violations of the law.
If such a balance is maintained, that is, “divide and rule,” then something worthwhile will come from the Investigative Committee. But if this does not happen, then it will be what we had, "we wanted the best, but it turned out as always." Because the structure itself vertically will protect itself. And today, working, practicing law, facing the UPC, I can say that even those petitions and complaints in which I know that I am 100% right, they run into rejection of leaders of various ranks in the UPC. And therefore, if there is no prosecutor's supervision, we will get the same vertical structure that has developed in the police, where, in conditions of impunity, we received what we have today.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: What were, in your opinion, the shortcomings of the previous state of affairs, when the Investigative Committee functioned in the system of the prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation?

Alexey Rozuvan: The shortcomings mainly consisted in the fact that the investigation was carried out in one department, and the same department supervised its investigation. Therefore, the essence of the reform that took place three years ago was that the investigation should be independent, and the prosecutor's office only exercised supervision. This is the president's decision to create the Investigative Committee of Russia, it was de jure of that fact, the investigation was practically independent, and although it was under the prosecutor's office, it actually acted independently. And this, in my opinion, is really the first step towards creating in the future a single Investigative Committee on the basis of the Investigative Committee, which was created by a presidential decree.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Yuri Skuratov, former Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, believes that a step has been taken in the right direction.

Yuri Skuratov: This is the right decision. First, it removes a whole block of serious questions about the conformity of the constitution. Regarding the previous reform, when the investigative committee was within the framework of the prosecutor's office, it was an absurd construction, when an independent, autonomous prosecutor's office and subdivision existed within a single, rigidly centralized system. If the strengthening of the prosecutor's supervision is really ensured, as Bastrykin spoke about, then this will also be correct. Because intradepartmental control has shown its complete lack of independence and limitations. Therefore, I believe that this is the right step. Another thing is that all the benefits from the new structure can be obtained only when the reform is completed, and the investigation from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB and the drug control will be added there, then this system will be able to work at full capacity. But as a step in this direction, a right step, I am ready to support this proposal.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: We are listening to the question of the Muscovite Vyacheslav.

Listener: Hello. I would like to ask a question: now many people are afraid that the decree, there are a lot of omissions in it, that it resembles the corresponding decree of Stalin, 1937. Why - because the committee is under the president. Are you one hundred percent sure that the actions of this committee will be monitored by law-enforcing bodies, the prosecutor's office, or will everything be the same - three people from three different divisions, an extrajudicial troika and move on?

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Is it permissible for the investigation to be personally subordinate to one of the heads of the branches of government?

Vladimir Kalinichenko: What do you mean, I think that the question is generally not worth it. And by the way, he does not even sound in those speeches that were heard by Dmitry Medvedev. The fact is that, I think that the chairman of the investigative committee will be appointed by the Federation Council, by presidential decree, but with the consent or can be directly appointed by the Federation Council. And therefore, we are not talking about subordination to the president. We are not saying that today the FSB is subordinate to the president. The fact is that the president supervises individual ministries directly, and I don't see anything wrong with that. This will not happen, this is not 37 years old, it would be ridiculous to talk about it. The country has chosen a certain path, and this, I don’t know, is such a common opinion that the UPC is being created under the President of the Russian Federation. Another question is that none of the structures in the state should be out of control, let the control be parliamentary, let it be the upper house, the lower house, let there be some kind of management in the presidential administration, where complaints against the heads of the investigative committee, for action on failure to take action or violation of the law by the investigative committee, prosecutorial supervision. I think this is what we are talking about. Therefore, this formulation of the question seems to me incorrect. This is just for now, I understand that the president has introduced legislative initiatives to the State Duma, they have not been published, and therefore these omissions today, they arise, and especially these conversations that this is some kind of emergence of an authoritarian structure that will be controlled by one of the leaders of the state. I think this is completely untrue.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: How do you think the system of subordination of the new independent independent investigative committee should be built?

Alexey Rozuvan: Subordination: in the center will be the Investigative Committee of Russia, in the regions, in the regions will be created regional investigative committees and, accordingly, investigative committees of cities and districts, which will be subordinate vertically as it is now, nothing new will happen.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: We are listening to a question from Tula from radio listener Nikolai.

Listener: Good evening. I have a question for a member of United Russia. Why, despite the loudly announced fight against corruption by the President of the country, the law on corruption lacks fundamental norms that a corrupt official should be deprived of his unjustly acquired property, as well as his family members, by confiscation? And second: why, when the president recognizes that there is total corruption in the country, for more than a year of the existence of the law on combating corruption, there has not been a single high-profile trial where representatives of the highest corruption power would appear, and not some local six?

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Will the creation of the Investigative Committee facilitate the fight against corruption in our country?

Alexey Rozuvan: The question is a little off topic, but I will answer. I think that the creation of the Investigative Committee will really improve the work on the investigation of corruption cases. As for the issue of confiscation of property from corrupt officials, my personal opinion, of course, requires norms in the Criminal Code, which would provide for the confiscation of property from those who are involved in corruption. That is, as a type of punishment, as it was in the old criminal code and, in fact, work is underway on this now, there are many different opinions, disputes, I think that in the end we will come to this, that confiscation will be defined as a type of punishment, and not just as a form of compensation for criminally acquired property. As for high-profile cases, there are not so few of them, the media reported this. Another question is that there should be more. And he will hope that with the creation of the Investigative Committee, this new structure, the work will go in this direction more successfully.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: In your opinion, has the existence of the Investigative Committee within the system of the prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation hindered the effective fight against corruption?

Vladimir Kalinichenko: No, I think not. But there were flaws, there were pluses, there were minuses. By the way, about the second part of the question of our listener from Tula, let me disagree with the fact that we have quite high-profile criminal cases today. The cases that were in the 70s, of course, did not exist and are not. And I think that the creation of the Investigative Committee as a separate structure will not contribute to the emergence of high-profile corruption cases, which are on everyone's lips, only on hearing in conversations, but not in completing the investigation and bringing the perpetrators to justice. Because this requires political will, which, unfortunately, does not exist today. Therefore, such a question with such tension in the listener's voice, it rages quite often, I hear it all the time, and such questions are asked all the time. Therefore, the creation of an SC in this situation will not fix anything, you need to look at the root here, what is the reason. And to begin the fight against corruption to engage in a really effective way, and not some half-measures, which ultimately solve very little in these issues, in these problems.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Lev Ponomarev, executive director of the For Human Rights movement, foresees an intense clan struggle within the law enforcement system.

Lev Ponomarev: While the games are going on within this system, we can only hope for some kind of struggle between some officials or some structures, like Luzhkov and the Kremlin are now. There they sort things out among themselves, and at this time the courts in Moscow began to make reasonable decisions on rallies and demonstrations. Right now the Investigative Committee will be reorganized, there will be a clan struggle, a struggle of some figures, at this time there may be some people in the Investigative Committee who feel that they are not being watched, they are normal officials, they want to do professional work, for them the pressure will be eased at this moment, they will normally begin to carry out investigative actions, maybe against corrupt officials, the Magnitsky case may be in the Morozov-Leshchinsky case, in the presidential administration. Therefore, there will be some kind of crack, some kind of crack. But, in my opinion, there is no reason to hope for some kind of global restructuring.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: We are listening to a question from the Leningrad region from a radio listener Gennady.

Listener: Good evening. I would like to ask you the following: how soon, in your opinion, will the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB be added to the investigative committee, which will be formed as a result of the presidential decree?

Vladimir Kara-Murza: What prospects do you see for the new bill?

Alexey Rozuvan: I believe that there is no need to rush with this question. The fact is that the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs occupies 80% of all investigations of criminal cases and the investigative committee of the Prosecutor General's Office, drug control and the FSB. These are the most common crimes - it is theft, it is robbery, it is robbery, hooliganism, fraud. And it is unacceptable to simply mechanically determine a certain period of time and then attach the investigation - this is unacceptable, it can adversely affect the operational situation, disrupt interaction with operational units. Therefore, in my opinion, there should simply be a gradual expansion of the Investigative Committee of Russia. In my opinion, after some time, it is possible to transfer the full investigation of all economic crimes, economic crimes, all crimes with a corruption component. And as they assimilate, digest, gradually add the whole effect. And it's so easy to convey the entire investigation, our country is very large, the operational situation is not easy, and I think that these issues should be approached carefully, thoughtfully and slowly.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: You said that a single investigative body is needed, how soon can the investigation be withdrawn from other law enforcement bodies?

Vladimir Kalinichenko: I said that from my point of view, this is a purely economic and organizational issue. Because now, I remember, when the drug control committee was created and for about six months, or maybe more, this departmental shake-up only harmed the fight against drugs. Answering what Lev Ponomarev said, you know what it seems to me, I remember Soviet times, if the regional prosecutor and the head of the police quarreled, they had a lack of understanding, there was a regional party committee, a department of administrative bodies. They were summoned and called to normalize the relationship in favor of the work they did, in favor of the cause. And if such a reconciliation did not come, they were both fired from their jobs. So it seems to me that our police will work normally, and the law on the police is new, and the investigative committee only on one condition: if the departmental concealment of departmental offenses disappears, and if we are not afraid to part with those people who commit serious offenses, serious crimes. Today the personnel reserve, even if it is not entirely successful, is large enough, and if there is a principled approach to these violations, then there will not be this single monster that will solve all these problems in the state and ultimately infringe upon the rights of citizens and, how said Viktor Stepanovich Chernomyrdin, they wanted the best, but it will turn out as always. This is a very important condition. It is important for the investigative committee, for the police, and for other structures. It is impossible to cover offenses and crimes that are committed within the system, in the name of creating well-being, the appearance of the work of this system. This is the most basic thing that seems to me.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Nikolai Volkov, a former investigator for particularly important cases under the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, is looking forward to continuing the progressive process.

Nikolay Volkov: I would like that this was just the first step to unite the general investigative committee, other services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, and so on. Of course, that's right, now the functions will be divided, the investigation will deal with the investigation, the prosecutor will supervise, there will be no general departmental issues. It was necessary for a long time. Probably, not all at once, everything was tested gradually, they were moving towards this, everything in development is cognized. Putin, too, at one time, apparently, worked. It cannot be said that this reform stood still before Medvedev. For this, sometimes there are years to test it all.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: What is the mechanism for discussing the new bill by the State Duma?

Alexey Rozuvan: As a matter of fact, the bill has just arrived. Now the deputies are in the region, we have a regional week. On Monday we start work at plenary sessions, first we consider them in the profile committees, then at the plenary session we will quickly consider them, usually presidential laws are passed out of turn. So, I think it will take a week for this case, no more.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Did you foresee the shortcomings of the system that was created three years ago, when the Investigative Committee of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation arose?

Vladimir Kalinichenko: I have already said that when a committee was created under the prosecutor's office, but according to the meaning, according to the changes that were made to the procedural law, in general to the law, the prosecutor's office was deprived of oversight of the investigation in essence, both in the police, and in the FSB, and in the prosecutor's office. , that is, all supervision was vertical. Since there are many regional investigative divisions in the field, procedural control divisions have been created in the investigative committee. There should be only investigators, but there were not investigators, but officials who, as it were, exercised supervision, it was called control, over the same investigators. That is, what was in the prosecutor's office began to be created in miniature in the investigation committee itself. The same thing exists in the investigative committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, the same thing exists in the FSB. Therefore, here the lack of prosecutorial supervision is replaced by departmental control. He, life shows, is absolutely ineffective, and vice versa, he only contributes to the violation of the law and the smuggling of often not entirely correct versions and ideas and persistence in decision-making, from which it smells of political and some kind of social, or maybe even a paid order for certain criminal cases ... Therefore, here it is necessary that investigators are investigators, and supervision, if all this is done now in the law, something may work out here, and prosecutor's supervision will be prosecutorial supervision. Because the task of the prosecutor's office since Peter the Great, the prosecutor's office is the eye of the state, the prosecutor's office only monitors the uniform application of laws. The form of violation of the law is already an indisputable question, but at least it is easy to regulate it in the law, and then I think that something good will come out of this venture.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: How would you assess the results of the activities of the Investigative Committee under the leadership of Alexander Bastrykin?

Alexey Rozuvan: In principle, I have information that the investigation has proved its worth over these three years and has good results. I have information about the work of the investigation in the Kirov region, of which I am a deputy, I visit their collegium when summing up the results. Strictly speaking, in principle, we proceed from the fact that the Investigative Committee under the Prosecutor's Office both in the center and in the field is working successfully.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: We are listening to a question from the Bryansk region from a radio listener Alexei.

Listener: Hello. I want to give my opinion. If an investigative committee is created to investigate high-profile crimes of political and other ordered crimes, then I welcome, with both hands for. But if this is a type of fiction, then you know, there is no need to spend budget money on creating something that will not bring an effective result.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: What categories of cases should, in your opinion, be primarily administered by an investigative committee?

Vladimir Kalinichenko: For now, there will remain the category of those cases that were - malfeasance, bribes, premeditated murders, but this is a more than controversial issue. Now the cases of new crimes will be transferred to the Investigative Committee. I think that the very idea of ​​the Investigative Committee, as voiced by the President today, is still the creation of a single investigation throughout the country. Therefore, this first category of cases is one side of the coin. If you remember, at one time Shchelokov fought very much for the investigation, and then juvenile crimes and a number of categories of crimes were investigated in the prosecutor's office. It was in the 70s that Shchelokov raised the issue of transferring the entire investigation to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And this caused a very sharp opposition then, Shchelokov did not succeed. But crimes of minors and some other categories were transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. That is, this balance has been preserved. But when creating an investigative committee, it is advisable that with the departure of part of the cases from the jurisdiction of the investigative committee, it can gradually be there within six months, maybe within a year, when the state can create everything in a reasonable way, then the whole investigation should go there, only then there will be a sense ...
I listened to what the president said in the part that perhaps some category of cases will remain in another department, I think that this approach is not entirely correct, because then it would not be worthwhile to fence this whole vegetable garden. That is, it is necessary to create a single investigative committee as a structure. And yet to see what will come of it, there is nothing wrong with this experiment and will not be, I think that it will only benefit the cause. Another question is that people do it, people work there, so the selection of personnel, heads of the investigative committee, all structures will be especially important, and then it will be able to earn more or less effectively.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Is it possible in the future to expand the categories of cases that will be under the jurisdiction of the Investigative Committee, except for malfeasance, bribery, murder and tax crimes?

Alexey Rozuvan: I have already said that, in my opinion, this is how it should be, increasing the competence of cases that would belong to the Investigative Committee. First of all, it is necessary to talk not about the joining of some investigative structures of this or that department, but about the transfer of categories of cases. In my opinion, these are primarily economic crimes, it is possible to return, over time, crimes against minors, some other category of cases and, depending on how the Investigative Committee will cope and how it will digest this mass of cases, it will be possible to decide on the transfer of others. cases. It is so easy to transfer the entire category of cases by decree, to create a single Investigative Committee, I believe that it is too early to talk about this, all this must be done gradually.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Ilya Yashin, member of the Political Council of the Solidarity movement, co-author of the concept of reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, welcomes the separation of the investigation into a separate body.

Ilya Yashin: Police professionals, real professionals who deserve respect, including those who helped us with expert advice, have long been talking about the need for an investigation, put it in a separate body. In fact, an analogue of the Russian FBI is being created. Another question is that Medvedev's motivation is not yet very clear. There is a suspicion that the motivation is connected not with the desire to improve the work of the law enforcement system, but with the upcoming elections to the State Duma, presidential elections. Medvedev may have decided to increase his influence in the power bloc, because the Investigative Committee will be directly subordinate to the president, and in this sense, Medvedev's position has strengthened a little in the corridors of power. One way or another, this is the right step, but the movement, nevertheless, in the right direction is imperceptible. If the criticism that sounded about the reforms of the law enforcement system will be taken into account, if Medvedev demonstrates that he is really ready to listen to the content of the discussion, is ready to take into account the criticism and carry out a normal human reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, honor and praise him.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: You remembered Minister Shchelokov, how did the reorganization that you reminded the radio listeners end of?

Vladimir Kalinichenko: Firstly, there were several formulations of the question. Shchelokov insisted that the prosecution of police officers should only take place with the consent of the minister and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while at the same time he raised the issue of transferring the entire investigation to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It would be a great tragedy. By the way, I would like to remind you that after the proposal was submitted to the Central Committee of the CPSU, the prosecutor's office received it very interestingly. Party meetings were held in all the prosecutor's offices of the regions of the union republics, and the Central Committee of the CPSU left the decisions of party meetings that this should not be done. This was the form of opposition to the transfer of the investigative system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And then this question disappeared on its own, with the exception of cases of minors and another category of cases that got into the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But I think that there should be no investigation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs at all, because the head of the internal affairs body is always one, the operatives are subordinate to him, and the investigators are subordinate to him. And all attempts to make the investigation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs independent, they did not lead to anything good. Therefore, I think that this issue should be resolved unambiguously, and all cases should be considered by the Investigative Committee. And I emphasize once again, provided there is effective prosecutorial supervision. I have repeatedly emphasized this, because I consider the most important and most basic. Because the court today, despite the fact that it gives sanctions for arrests of people, for individual investigative actions, it does not engage in supervision and does not exercise it. And as a matter of fact, today court decisions in criminal cases have turned into an empty formality, believe me as a former investigator, as a lawyer today.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: What is the proportion in the number of cases that are under the jurisdiction of the investigative bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, the Federal Drug Control Service and the Investigative Committee under the Prosecutor's Office?

Alexey Rozuvan: I will say that the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs investigates 80% of criminal cases, the rest fall into the category of cases that are investigated by the prosecutor's office, drug control and the federal security service. 80% of cases are investigated by the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Therefore, this is a very large array, many crimes that require a prompt response. I have already said robbery, robbery, theft, fraud, hooliganism and a whole host of other crimes. I agree with the speakers that it is necessary to create an investigative committee and transfer all cases, but this should be done gradually, calmly, without prejudice, without us reducing the number of crimes solved. This is not about creating a structure and then rejoicing that we have created it. After all, the main task of the structure is to ensure that the result is, people expect from the investigative committee a high-quality investigation of criminal cases, bringing the perpetrators to justice, and compensating for the harm caused. This goal is being set. Therefore, while creating this structure, we must not forget what we are creating for. On the one hand, of course, so that the rule of law is respected, so that the rights of citizens are not violated, but on the other hand, so that the evil is punished, so that the operational group, investigators and operatives have timely signals about the crimes committed, so that a high-quality inspection of the scene is carried out, so that all investigative and operational measures are carried out, and people feel that the investigation and operational staff are working better and in the interests of the population. This is the main goal of these reforms, and in particular, the decree on the creation of the Investigative Committee.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: We are listening to the question of the Muscovite Vladimir Anatolyevich.

Listener: Hello. I have two questions. The first question: I hear - categories of cases, but I do not feel the person, the defendant, the person under investigation, how much better he will be, how much fairer he will be. A person falls out of this turn of yours. And second: I am very worried about another situation. The fact is that in my practice I had to face a court, we had a dispute with one enterprise about the use of an invention in the national economy, and we asked to appoint a complex technical examination with the inclusion of a specialist in technology in this area, the court wrote it down, and then did not use. And then, when they wrote in the complaint, in the complaint, that it was not done that way, what you think came to court, and there the judge has already rewritten the protocol, in fact a forgery was made. He pulled out a sheet and replaced it with another sheet, where we agree with the examination. That is, it turns out that our courts themselves are engaged in illegal activities. Then I ask the question: what measures can you carry out if the court, the OTC on the merits of the case, is it himself defective?

Vladimir Kara-Murza: We started talking about an ordinary person, how do you think, will the protection of those under investigation from the arbitrariness of law enforcement agencies increase?

Vladimir Kalinichenko: I think that the very creation of the Investigative Committee will not ensure this. This is the question that the last listener now posed, when he just said, I understand what the meaning of the question boils down to. If a judge commits a crime in the form of a forgery of a protocol, other court documents, he would like the investigative committee, or the prosecutor's office, or some body to react to this. But I just said that as soon as we move away from the permissiveness that exists in certain departments, then people will believe that the judicial system, and the investigative committee, and prosecutorial supervision in the country really work properly. And what the listener said has a place to be, I can give dozens of examples when a hand washes a hand, it seems that the court is separated from the investigative committee of the prosecutor's office, but when a person begins to file complaints and say that the judges behaved this way, in the investigation committee they don’t react to this, they write to the prosecutor’s office, they don’t react there either. That is, the system of law enforcement agencies protects itself corporately. If this can be overcome, then such questions as asked by our last listener, they will arise less or not at all.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Who do you think should respond to abuses in law enforcement and the judiciary?

Alexey Rozuvan: On abuses in law enforcement, depending on who committed these abuses. If we are talking about an ordinary employee, an officer, a detective, an investigator in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the prosecutor's office, it is necessary to contact the superior head, the superior head of the regional police department, the superior prosecutor, where to state the essence of the complaint. If you are not satisfied with the answer you received to your complaint, you can go to court. Not satisfied with the decision of one court, you can appeal to a higher court. That is, the law defines the procedure for applying. Usually, prosecutors react to arbitrariness on the part of investigators and operational workers. If a complaint comes to me as a deputy, I send it to the prosecutor's office and, as a rule, the reaction is prompt, they are sorted out, and the necessary measures are taken.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Lawyer Vadim Prokhorov, a member of the political council of the Solidarity movement, calls for public control over the investigation.

Vadim Prokhorov: The separation of the Investigative Committee into a separate independent structure, and disputes about this have been going on for a long time, by the way, since Soviet times, the most important thing is that the activities of all officials of the Investigative Committee should be controlled primarily by the prosecutor's office, which in fact is observed to a very small extent now after the division of the prosecutor's office ... In fact, the control functions of the prosecutor's office have significantly weakened, not to mention that the prosecutor's office itself needs to be reformed. Of course, you need the most serious attention from the court, that is, an appeal in the order of 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, so that it is developed and does not meet any hindrances. In any case, there is a lot of work ahead. But about what is more here, pluses or minuses, of course, one can argue.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: We are listening to a question from the Nizhny Novgorod region from a radio listener Vladimir.

Listener: Hello. Vladimir Ivanovich, I didn't see that this investigative committee would serve the people. As the police served the authorities, everything will remain so. And without publicity, control of society, as the police were a bandit, it will remain so.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: What forms can be of public control?

Vladimir Kalinichenko: I can answer as follows: of course, what is happening in the police, what is happening in the courts, I spoke in this program, namely permissiveness, impunity, lack of proper control over the actions of law enforcement agencies. And it is no coincidence that people ask questions about the police, the prosecutor's office, the courts, and the investigative committee. And the question sounds like that the investigative committee should also turn to the person. If there is such a closed structure that is absolutely closed from citizens, from public control, coverage of its activities, if the investigative committee understands that it is impossible for one person to communicate with people on press relations, Mr. Markov, who in a mentoring tone speaks very briefly those or other messages, we do not see living investigators, living people who are investigating criminal cases, their comments. That is, we do not see any communication between investigators and the Investigative Committee with the people. Yes, this question of the listener, it is very legitimate, that if some kind of closed structure outside the citizens is created, then we, people, simply will not believe in it. Therefore, this is not an organizational question, but a more human, more correct question, by the way, to which the president calls - for a certain openness in judicial activity, police activity, and prosecutorial and, naturally, the forthcoming future investigative committee.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Do you think the scandals that accompanied the rivalry between the prosecutor's office, prosecutor Chaika and the investigative committee and Alexander Bastrykin will now become a thing of the past?

Alexey Rozuvan: Let's hope they leave.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Listening to the Muscovite Dmitry Viktorovich.

Listener: Hello. I was just subjected to the arbitrariness of the prosecutor's office, the investigative police department last year because of the apartment. They put pressure on me with a truncheon so that I wrote what he wanted, I wrote practically not my words, but wrote what he wanted himself. I was sent to a psychiatric hospital because of the apartment.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: When do you think the institution of interrogators will disappear in the district police departments?

Vladimir Kalinichenko: As far as I know now, the question is about expanding the functions of inquiry. By the way, when it comes to how the investigation and the operational groups will interact, I would go along the path of expanding the inquiry among operational workers, that is, the initial investigative actions, the inspection of the scene of the incident, the arrest of the suspect should be dealt with by the inquiry bodies. They are understood somewhat more broadly - these are employees of the criminal investigation department. That is, various operational services of the internal affairs bodies or the federal security service, they must carry out initial investigative actions. The issue of interaction with the investigating apparatus, when there was an investigation in the prosecutor's office, there was the police, we perfectly interacted with operational workers in the name of solving the common tasks that we faced. Therefore, I think there will be no difficulties here. But the inquiry as such, it must remain. But if he means, maybe the president meant that in the police the inquiry will remain for a certain category of crimes, which, for example, are considered by justices of the peace, these are some minor bodily injuries, that is, a certain category of crimes that will remain in inquiry - this, from my point of view, would also be wrong.
If the investigation is to be in the investigative committee, the entire investigation must be in the investigative committee. And the inquiry should be an inquiry within the framework of the law, in compliance with all procedural norms, with the subsequent transfer of the case for preliminary investigation to the investigative committee. Unless we step further in the reform, that is, according to the Western system, for example, the American one, when certain categories of crimes that are committed in conditions of obviousness, so that they immediately go to court for consideration without preliminary investigation. But this is a very complex issue of the upcoming judicial reform, here I think that we will move in this direction, and this problem should be resolved, as it is solved in most countries. That is, not to delay the preliminary investigation in the category of cases that do not present any complexity for investigation and can be considered quickly enough, effectively in one or another court.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: Lawyer Vladimir Volkov, a former investigator for particularly important cases of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia, foresaw the development of events according to the current scenario.

Vladimir Volkov: A very correct decision. At one time, even under Oleg Vasilievich Sorokin, who was the deputy prosecutor general in the direction of the investigation, I, for example, talked about this with him, that it is necessary as they have now done. He had a completely different opinion. So I believe that the separation will lead to the fact that at last the prosecutors will be compelled to carry out quality supervision of the investigation, and so they are tied with one rope. Because, by making mistakes, the investigation involves the prosecutor as such. Both Bastrykina and Chaika must be removed, because for three years they were busy pulling the blanket over each other.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: In your opinion, did the bill on the Investigative Committee need a nationwide discussion, as was the case with the law on the police, or is it a matter of specialists and professionals?

Alexey Rozuvan: I think that this is still a matter of specialists and professionals. Enough discussion of what we are doing today. Today there is a lot of information about this in the print media and on television. Citizens have the right to express their wishes and comments. But in my opinion, the investigative committee does not need a wide discussion as a law on the police - this is really the lot of specialists.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: In your opinion, is the new draft law understandable to the general Russian public and is there a need for some kind of discussion around it?

Vladimir Kalinichenko: You know, I will answer exactly the same. Today, when the issues of confiscation are being discussed, I have been watching recently broadcasts on central television, when purely legal issues become the subject of discussion of people who are very far from these problems. They do not want to understand that criminal proceedings, criminal law, criminology, forensic science are the same science as medicine, and any branches of science. Therefore, there are things, the law on the police, when discussed by the general public, there is some sense in this, it affects the interests of millions of citizens, millions of residents of our country. But the creation of the Investigative Committee, the wishes of the people should be in relation to confiscation, the question of the application of confiscation, for which category of crimes yes and for which no, and other specific issues, they are so purely departmental, they are so professional that they should be at the mercy of specialists.

A one-time cash payment to servicemen. Good day. I am an officer in December 2007, the VVK was recognized as "D" - unfit for military service "Military trauma", on October 3, 2008, there was an order from the commander of the Moscow Military District about my early dismissal from "Resignation" and my enrollment in [...]

The fact that the Investigative Committee is considering the possibility of creating a special group with the Russian Bureau of Interpol to investigate crimes against children, about successful cooperation with the United States to prosecute pedophiles, as well as about reducing "juvenile" crime in Russia, in an interview with RIA Novosti Elena Leonenko, Deputy Chairman of the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia, spoke on the Day of the Investigative Officer. In the department, she oversees the investigation of criminal cases on grave and especially grave crimes committed by minors and in relation to them.

— How are things going with international cooperation in the investigation of crimes against childhood?

- It is obvious that in the modern world, international cooperation of law enforcement agencies is a prerequisite for an effective fight against crime. We regularly take part in the platforms of various international organizations, such as the UN, OSCE, Interpol and so on.

Work is underway in bilateral formats, where issues of interaction in the field of protecting the rights of children, in particular digital risks, which are now taking on a different scale, are being discussed. The main instrument of such cooperation is the exchange of information on children's issues with our foreign partners. For example, according to information received in 2017 through Interpol (from Germany, Switzerland, Australia), eight criminal cases were initiated under Art. 242.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (production of pornography using minors). At the same time, the court passed convictions on three investigated criminal cases. We intend to apply to the Interpol NCB of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with a proposal to create a specialized working group to consider incoming messages from abroad on cybercrime against children.

— Surely there are examples of successful interaction of our investigators with the competent authorities of other countries?

- It would not be superfluous to recall the case of Yusef Abramov, who for several years kept several girls in sexual slavery in Moscow. He had dual citizenship and fled to the United States even before the start of the investigative measures. But this did not become an obstacle for the investigation. We began close cooperation with the American prosecutor's office, provided them with the entire evidence base. As a result, the pedophile was sentenced to 150 years in an American prison for crimes committed in Russia. And from the USA we managed to get another pedophile, Vladimir Letunov, who was later sentenced to 15 years in a strict regime colony, to be deported.

Not so long ago, the "guru" of the "Kaula Dharma" community, Mitradevananda Paramahamsa (aka Kiriyenko), was extradited to the Russian Federation, from whose actions, including children. In Novosibirsk, several years ago, Sergei Kropochkin was convicted, who was part of an international network of suppliers of child pornography. Despite the use of the closed segment of the Internet by pedophiles, with the help of foreign colleagues, the investigation gained access to the necessary information, and as a result, the "director" was punished.

Thus, we have developed a positive practice of international cooperation, and we are implementing the fundamental principle of law - the inevitability of punishment, no matter where in the world the criminal tries to hide from Russian justice.

- Can you identify some of the main trends that have been observed with such crimes in Russia in recent years?

- In general, the crime rate in the country is decreasing, including the "underage" one. Last year, our investigators investigated a little more than 19 thousand criminal cases against teenagers, while in 2015 there were a quarter more. Of course, these figures are the result of the joint efforts of all prevention authorities.

Unfortunately, no similar dynamics can be noted in terms of juvenile delinquency - in recent years, children are increasingly becoming objects of abuse. Over the past three years, the number of criminal cases pending increased by about 10% - from 26.6 thousand in 2015 to 29.3 thousand in 2017. This happened mainly due to cases of causing death by negligence and crimes against sexual freedom and sexual inviolability of minors.

— In general, has there been more encroachments, or is there some other underlying reason behind the numbers?

- The statistics are growing also because the scale of our inspections is expanding: as part of the preliminary investigation, we began to more thoroughly investigate all accidents with young children. Therefore, out of almost two thousand who were in the proceedings of criminal cases on the death of children through negligence in 2017, about 20% were sent to the court. Interaction with health authorities has also increased. We have received many reports of the facts of sexual intercourse among minors who have not reached the age of consent. Thus, statistics increase in proportion to the expansion of the scope of our work.

- Does this mean that the consolidation of the efforts of all interested departments will help reduce crime with the participation of minors?

- Of course, but it's not just them. We have established very close contacts with federal departments and regional structures of legislative and executive power, with the child rights commissioner under the President of the Russian Federation, specialized committees of the State Duma and the Federation Council, and other law enforcement agencies.

The Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia pays close attention to this, exercises personal control over many criminal cases, thanks to which the detection rate of such crimes has been noticeably increased, the work of the authorities responsible for the upbringing and education of children and adolescents, the organization of their leisure time and all-round development has been significantly improved. However, as you can imagine, lowering the crime rate does not depend solely on the work of law enforcement agencies.

- So the issue of education comes to the fore?

- Exactly. The outstanding Soviet educator and innovator Vasily Aleksandrovich Sukhomlinsky conducted research that confirmed the connection between personality development and propensity to commit crimes. Understanding the causes of juvenile delinquency, he came to the conclusion that the more serious the crime, the more inhumanity and cruelty in it, the poorer are the intellectual, aesthetic, moral interests and needs of the family. In his book "I Give My Heart to Children," he writes that there were practically no books in the families of teenagers who committed a crime or delinquency — 780 books for 460 families. None of those who committed the crime could name even one classical piece of music. Although Sukhomlinsky wrote about this back in the 60s, these conclusions are applicable to the current realities. Today the Internet, given its accessibility, somewhat fills these gaps, but carries other threats ...

— What danger does it pose to children?

- Following globalization, crime has expanded its borders - being in one country, a pedophile can corrupt a child on the other side of the world. The Internet gave criminals the opportunity to penetrate the soul of a child, manipulate his mind, and influence the fragile psyche. Children are lured into their networks by sects, extremists, the criminal world and various subcultures. We are faced with a side effect of social media, where, among other things, children are forced to commit suicide. After all, there they uncontrollably exchange information that is not intended for them at all - and in our country there are followers of the "Columbine" who arrange shooting in schools. It is far from a fact that adult manipulators are not behind such crimes.

This issue is under our special control. With the advent of the first swallows, monitoring of Internet content was established, which can adversely affect children. When these materials are identified, investigators inform the territorial bodies of Roskomnadzor to block access to Internet resources.

— Are there any problems in the qualification and investigation of online crimes?

“Today, their investigation is not particularly difficult for investigators. Of course, they should be approached with special care. As the practice develops, the investigation methodology also improves.

With regard to qualifications, according to the results of the analysis of our work, and including on our initiative, the legislator introduced new articles into the Criminal Code - Article 110.1 "Inclination to commit suicide or assistance in committing suicide" and Article 110.2 "Organization of activities aimed at encouraging committing suicide. "

- As part of their work, investigators also perform a preventive function. How widely should this work be done?

- In almost every criminal case sent to the court, our investigators, in accordance with Article 158 of the Criminal Procedure Code, make representations about the elimination of the reasons and conditions conducive to the commission of a crime. It often turns out that officials did not take measures to timely identify the facts of family trouble, to protect and remove minors from a socially dangerous environment, to prevent the commission of crimes and other incidents involving children. On specific facts, procedural checks are organized, if there are sufficient grounds, criminal cases are initiated.

In 2017, 242 procedural checks were carried out, as a result of which 63 criminal cases were initiated. More than 4 thousand people were brought to disciplinary responsibility in criminal cases against children alone last year. But we are not limited to this and in some cases initiate the adoption of measures of an administrative and legal nature.

When considering criminal cases, we analyze all the prerequisites for committing a crime and look for ways to prevent them. Of the topical, we have made suggestions for improving the system of organizing children's recreation and are taking measures to eliminate any possibility of injury to children in playgrounds and sports facilities.

— It turns out that the investigators in the end are doing more than is formally required of them by law?

- The investigator should not limit himself only to the criminal procedure code. I will quote Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, who said that those who want to be useful, even with their hands tied, can do a lot of good. You do not need to be limited to the ordinary duties and instructions from above - good motives, that is where the engine of life and work is.

In addition to preventive measures, we try to help victims overcome the psychological trauma caused by the terrible event. With the assistance of the investigating authorities, centers for psychological, medical and social assistance are being created. Just like with children, individual consultations and trainings are carried out with their parents. All this allows you to minimize the emotional distress of the child from the investigation process, to mitigate the psychological trauma inflicted on him. And this is only a small fraction of the work carried out by the investigative bodies of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.

- Six years ago, the investigation of crimes against childhood was assigned to the Investigative Committee of Russia. How did it happen that you devoted most of your life to this work?

- I started working in the investigative bodies immediately after graduating from the university - in the then Leningrad police. From the first days she specialized in crimes related to children. In the hard times of the 90s, they were the most vulnerable. Drugs were spreading like an avalanche, all of a sudden there were phenomena never seen before - racketeering, prostitution, human trafficking, child pornography, street children appeared on the streets ...

Since then, I had to investigate a variety of crimes, but the children's theme, one way or another, really accompanies me all my life. In the context of our work, and in general, we must not forget that children are not just fragile creatures. A child is a blank sheet of paper, an innocent soul. What it will become depends on the adults. The happiness of the whole world is not worth the tears of an innocent child, as Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky remarked. And the task of our entire state and each employee of the Investigative Committee is to provide small citizens with a childhood where tears are only for joy. It is no coincidence that the years 2018-2027 were named by the President of the Russian Federation as the "Decade of Childhood" in Russia.

At this point there was an article under the heading "Dissuaded" Summa "is golden, or Why is the forecast of the editorial board" Kompromat-Ural "in relation to Ziya (v) udin Magomedov coming true". The text of the article dated 04/04/2018 consisted of five paragraphs. Only one of them mentioned Mikhail Kiiko... Mikhail Yuryevich is now the former general director of United Grain Company (UGC). Kiyko held this position for barely a year and a half, and was dismissed in November 2018. JSC "OZK" is half owned by a businessman Ziyavudin Magomedov.

The mention in the above article about the "relationship of financial dependence" between Magomedov and Kiiko aroused the latter's displeasure. The statement of Mr. Kiyko demanding to remove the contested article (all five paragraphs, and not just about Kiyko) was considered by a judge of the Arbitration Court of the Sverdlovsk Region Elena Seliverstova... She fully satisfied the contrived, in our opinion, claim.

On 01/09/2019, the decision entered into force. Following the letter of the law, the editorial board of Kompromat-Ural deleted the text within the established period. Nevertheless, we will continue to appeal against the illegal and absurd, in our opinion, judicial act and we thank all the readers who are assisting in this.

The May holidays turned out to be hot for the correspondents of the Kompromat-Ural portal. We have at our disposal new information to continue the anti-corruption investigation against the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Nikolay Brykin... This is a former general of the tax police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now a representative of the lower house of parliament in the Supreme Court (in the State Duma Brykin was delegated in 2016 on the list of United Russia from the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Tyumen Region).

The scandals around Brykin are caused by the fact that the Ugra entrepreneur from the “list Titova» Konstantin Dyulgerov, forced to flee Russia from the pressure of the security forces, openly accused the retired general of organizing a custom-made criminal prosecution. Dyulgerov disclosed the details of his misadventures in a topical interview with Novaya Gazeta. Victim in Dyulgerov's dubious case - Brykin's son-in-law Sergey Kiryanov, and the hero of the scandal, as the editors of Kompromat-Ural found out, before being promoted to the State Duma, re-registered multimillion-dollar development assets on the Black Sea coast to his daughter Valentina Kiryanov(in 2016, LLC "Breeze", which was rewritten to it, had property on its balance sheet for almost half a billion rubles!). Brykin became a deputy already as a modest representative of the “patriotic fund” (legally, this was a fiction).

The other day, the editorial office of Kompromat-Ural received a response from the Assistant Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Valeria Volkova(Valery Georgievich came from the leadership of the Prosecutor General's Office for supervision over the implementation of anti-corruption legislation). We contacted Yuri Chaika on the issue of checking the reliability of the declaration information about the personal well-being of Mr. Brykin. Does the people's servant live within his means, who in the shortest time after being fired from the Ministry of Internal Affairs turned into a dollar millionaire, and then also quickly got rid of his "deserved" wealth before the elections to the State Duma?

In a recent publication by our colleagues from the Tyumen edition of 72.ru, it was noted that according to formal declarations, Nikolai Brykin hangs out at the bottom of the parliamentary rating: “in 2017, his income was 'only' 4.8 million rubles. Smaller than the rest, but don't jump to conclusions. He owns two huge plots of land, a couple of spacious country houses and a modest apartment of 76 square meters. His wife has a bigger apartment: 116 square meters. Also, four residential country houses and two land plots are recorded on it. And all their family transport is registered for Brykin's wife - Toyota Land Cruiser, Shore Land SRV31B trailer and Sea Ray 185S boat. We can only guess how the lady managed to buy all this, earning 2.9 million a year. "

Yuri Chaika's assistant told the editors of Kompromat-Ural that “the Duma commission for control over the reliability of information about income, headed by Natalia Poklonskaya(she is also the deputy chairman of the Security and Anti-Corruption Committee). Therefore, according to the answer of Valery Volkov, the appeal about Brykin was sent to the lower house. The editors of Kompromat-Ural will follow the responses of the State Duma speaker's office Viacheslav Volodin and profile commission. In mid-April, Ms Poklonskaya confirmed to reporters that Brykin is indeed one of the five persons involved in anti-corruption checks, which are being conducted by the commission she heads. By the way, in this list Brykin is next to the "pubic" deputy from the Liberal Democratic Party, the hero of immoral sex scandals Leonid Slutsky.

What is happening in the Russian government, which for 20 years of "stability" seems to have had to grow into a harmonious vertical in order to heroically live in the "dictatorship of the law"? Where is all this? Acting employee of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation - Assistant to the Plenipotentiary Nicholas Tsukanova, it turns out, “having received Polish citizenship, bought real estate there, was recruited by intelligence and informed NATO about the meetings of the Security Council and the family Putin". Have arrived! Several years ago, another odious ex-official "sang" with Tsukanov Alexei Bagaryakov, who recently moved to Yekaterinburg for Tsukanov, but because of the spy scandal did not have time to "fledge". According to the interlocutors of the editorial office in the power structures, Bagaryakov is "in development" from the moment he received a post in the embassy of Tsukanov. Such information summaries are studied by observers of the Kompromat-Ural resource.

"Mole Hole. A whole spy network has already been found surrounded by the plenipotentiary envoy Nikolai Tsukanov, ”- such headlines overwhelm the media. "Arrested on suspicion of high treason, 39-year-old assistant to the plenipotentiary in the UFO Alexander Vorobiev- Active State Councilor of the Third Class. Major General, if in a military way. Spies of this caliber (if the accusation is confirmed. - Ed.) We have not been caught, it seems, since the 80s, or rather, since the capture of the famous Cylinder - Major General of the GRU Dmitry Polyakova... And now Vorobyov is in prison. And what will happen now to his boss Nikolai Tsukanov at large?

Tsukanov ordered to take Vorobyov to his job while he was the governor of the Kaliningrad region, in 2010. They are fellow countrymen, both from the border town of Gusev. Prior to that, Vorobyov served in various minor positions, and in 2005 he successfully traveled to Warsaw for an internship. There, they say, he was recruited. And as soon as Vorobyov had a chance to infiltrate the governor's inner circle, various miracles began to happen to Tsukanov. Before the rapprochement with Vorobyov, the name of the owner of the Russian exclave, if flickered in scandals, then in purely economic ones, mainly related to the protection of the “amber mafia”. But as soon as Vorobyov became Tsukanov's right hand, the scale of the scandalous stories changed qualitatively. At first, Tsukanov called the fascist invaders "German soldiers who fought for their fatherland." And then a scandalous saga began with the renaming of Kaliningrad to Koenigsberg. In September 2011, the Polish press trumpeted this initiative of Tsukanov - allegedly the governor had the imprudence to make such a promise to the MEP from the German Green Party Werner Schultz(the case was in Warsaw on the sidelines of a meeting of the committee for inter-parliamentary cooperation between Russia and the EU). Tsukanov was trying to give a back: they say, I did not promise anything like that, but the Poles pinned him to the wall with a dictaphone recording (apparently, he was recording the conversation with the governor's counterpart, because the conversation was conducted tete-a-tete. And where! In the men's room!). Later it turned out (Tsukanov himself somehow let slip about this) that "good advice" to rename Kaliningrad was given by none other than his lawyer Vorobyov. They say that the renaming could have a positive effect on the growth of German investments. Tsukanov and "got carried away".

Media partners of the Kompromat-Ural editorial office ask our observers to cover a resonant story that, for some unknown reason, remains without a proper reaction from the St. Petersburg prosecutor's office, headed by Sergei Litvinenko, and the head office of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, which is headed by novel Plugin... It is about the fact that the "fugitive billionaire Aghajan Avanesov, who is on the federal wanted list for transferring about nine billion rubles abroad, lives quietly in a hotel in St. Petersburg ... ". "Why is nobody looking for a billionaire?"

“For a couple of years now, the former head of the board of directors of StarBank, Agadjan Avanesov, has been on the federal wanted list. The investigative authorities of St. Petersburg are looking for him in the framework of a criminal case on the fact of theft on an especially large scale. We are talking about the delivery of a large consignment of fish products in the amount of 131 million rubles, which the partners of Fish Factory LLC did not wait for. This company is also part of the business of the banker Avanesov. A large trading company paid all the tranches in full, but the fish never came.

In September 2017, the investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Kalininsky District of St. Petersburg opened a criminal case under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud). As part of this case, in the fall of the same year, the property of Fish Factory LLC was arrested by a court decision ...

“In Russia, I think, it is necessary to lustration the judiciary. Totally. Because what we have under the guise of justice is an insult. " “I believe that a complete lustration of the judiciary would be highly desirable. The current Russian court is a bulwark of lawlessness. " These and other bold statements were made the other day in various media by a famous scientist, Doctor of Historical Sciences Valery Nightingale.

“With high confidence,” he predicts the beginning of a serious political crisis in Russia in 2020 and urges not to harbor illusions about the unbelted and armed to the teeth law enforcement officers who will supposedly stand up as a monolithic wall to protect the current regime. “Even rank-and-file security officials are experiencing growing pressure from the authorities - remember how much news has recently been about the suicide of certain security officials,” notes Valery Solovey.

Observers of the Kompromat-Ural project drew attention to the interview, rather, even a detailed conversation between Valery Dmitrievich and a Yekaterinburg journalist Eugene Senshin on a topical topic: "Should we expect revolution in Russia?"

During an information investigation against a large coal "baron" Dmitry Bosov(INN 770400406175), interesting facts of his biography and the specifics of doing business were revealed. This is also the connection with the arrested ex-minister Mikhail Abyzov and criminal authorities, and illegal coal mining, and offshore, and environmental pollution, and Italian villas. However, this time, in a battle with competitors, he managed to win and the details that surfaced did not affect his fate in any way.

At the end of March, it became known that the Krasnoyarsk department of the FSB of Russia opened a criminal case against unidentified persons from among the leaders of the Arctic Mining Company (AGK), part of the VostokUgol group, which is owned by Dmitry Bosov and Alexander Isaev(TIN 502482607042). The third co-owner of Arctic Mining and Ore Company LLC (AGRK, INN 7707255694), according to the editorial board of Kompromat-Ural, is the infamous oligarch Bokarev Andrey Removich(INN 771312791603), partner of the beneficiaries of UMMC Iskandara Makhmudova and Andrey Kozitsyn.

Intelligence agencies are interested in illegal mining and sale of coal, writes RBC, citing a source familiar with the investigation and an interlocutor at the Ministry of Natural Resources. An unnamed source claims that the case was initiated on the basis of illegal business activity (Article 171 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Telegram channel "Nezygar" even published photos of the decision to initiate a criminal case on April 8, and then the protocol of interrogation of the AGK CEO Vadima Bugaeva(INN 420523793968), which took place on April 17.

"El Dorado in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or" Candle Factory "of the Minister Kolokoltseva"- this is the title of the anti-corruption journalistic investigation, recently published in the media. The editors of Kompromat-Ural have carefully studied the resonant materials. According to the authors, “in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, it seems, a giant“ raspberry ”has grown and grown: the general staff of the department may be involved in possible fraudulent tricks of the“ Main center of communication and information protection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation ”.

Apparently, the alleged fraud can be of a gigantic scale, since the editorial office received shocking documents about what is going on in the labyrinths of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation at 16 Zhitnaya Street. Rostec ". The article told about the virtuoso schemes used by the Federal State Institution (FKU) "The Main Center for Communication and Information Protection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation" to chop up "cabbage". And one of the "carriers" of information, a certain colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Ruslan Suleimanov, who magically escaped prison, is now "cheating" at the State Corporation "Rostec".

And although the "abscesses" in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have long been opened, the "boils" have been cleared, and things are still there! But in PKU, bosses still change like socks. There are already initiated criminal cases. There are requests for an international wanted list, but the office is working, billions are flowing and flowing in the "right" direction. El Dorado is a fabulous wonderland - the Interior Ministry blooms and smells. And only Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev, for some unknown reason, clearly does not notice what is happening?

In general, we are talking about possible "corruption schemes" in the department of General Kolokoltsev ...
