Childhood and youth

The origin of Alexander Ivanovich Bastrykin contributed to career advancement in the Soviet Union: neither nobles nor repressed relatives appeared in the profile of the future lawyer. Father Ivan Ilyich Bastrykin came from the Kuban Cossacks, served in the Navy from the age of nineteen, was awarded medals for exploits during the Great Patriotic War.

Antonov's mother Evgenia Antonovna was born in the city of Luga near Leningrad into a large peasant family, the head of which died at the front in the First world war. During the siege of Leningrad, she worked at a defense plant and defended the city, was awarded military medals. After the war, the older Bastrykin couple settled in Pskov, where on August 27, 1953, their son Alexander was born.

In 1958, the family moved to Leningrad, where Sasha received his education. School No. 27 on Vasilyevsky Island helped the boy to deeply study the Russian language, literature and history, thanks to which he entered Leningrad State University without any problems, despite the competition of 40 people for a place. In the same group with Alexander Bastrykin, he studied at the Faculty of Law, friendship with which contributed to the successful career of a Russian official.

Studying did not take away all the strength of the student: the future lawyer danced classical dances, played volleyball, studied at the theater studio and the school of a young journalist, played the guitar in the VIA of his faculty. After graduating from university in 1975, the young lawyer went to work in his specialty and served for three years as a criminal investigation investigator. At the same time, he joined the Party (at that time - the only one in the country, the communist one).

Career

In 1979 he entered the graduate school of Leningrad State University and in 1980 he defended his Ph.D. thesis and began teaching. In parallel with teaching at his native university, he built a political career, successively rising from the secretary of the Komsomol cell of the Leningrad State University (1980) to the secretary of the Leningrad regional committee of the Komsomol (1983-1985), he was a deputy of the district council. He supervised the education of youth, culture, agitation and propaganda.

In 1987 he defended his doctoral thesis in the field of interaction between international and Soviet law. In 1988, he headed the Institute for the Improvement of the Qualifications of Investigative Workers at the USSR Prosecutor's Office in Leningrad, head of the Department of Investigative Tactics. In parallel, he is engaged in party work.

In 1991, the CPSU ceases to exist, and Alexander Bastrykin adapts to the changed conditions. The knowledge of a lawyer is in demand even after the collapse Soviet Union. In 1992-1995, he headed the St. Petersburg Law Institute, teaching jurisprudence also in other educational institutions of the city.

In 1996, the leadership of the legal department of the North-Western District of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was added to the teaching work. Ten years later, Bastrykin first took the post of head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Central federal district, and after - the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation.

In 2007, the newly established post of First Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation - Chairman of the Investigative Committee under the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation was added to his duties. 18,000 employees of the prosecutor's office were transferred to the new organization, whose task was to investigate crimes. In 2009, Bastrykin was wounded during operational work at the site of the explosion of the Nevsky Express.

On January 15, 2011, Alexander Bastrykin was appointed Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, whose duties he had been performing since October 2010, when the Investigative Committee became a structure not subordinate to the prosecutor's office and. In his new position, Bastrykin personally meets monthly in Moscow and the regions with citizens who have made an appointment in advance.

Practice has shown that the personal participation of the colonel-general of justice (the title was received simultaneously with the position) in the investigation speeds up the course of the case. In addition to his immediate duties, while serving as Chairman of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin takes care of educating a young shift of investigators: at his suggestion, cadet corps and classes of the Investigative Committee were opened.

The Institute of Criminalistics was recreated. The chairman holds meetings with young investigators, trying to quickly solve their problems. He was accused by journalists and public figures of plagiarism and links to crime. It is included in the sanctions lists of the USA, Great Britain, Ukraine and Lithuania. According to his subordinates, he is an authoritarian leader, a tough party functionary of the old school.

In 2015, the media quoted Bastrykin's statement that the investigation had established the participation of a detachment of Ukrainian nationalists UNA-UNSO in the First Chechen war on the side of Ichkeria. In the same year, the general came up with a legislative initiative to abolish the priority of international law over domestic law, proposing to remove the relevant articles from the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

Personal life

Alexander entered his first marriage in 1981. Bastrykina (nee Kuznetsova) Natalya Nikolaevna studied with him at Leningrad State University at the same faculty. The couple divorced in 1988, maintaining friendly relations. Natalya Bastrykina is a talented business woman who owns, in particular, the Oreol publishing house, which publishes books ex-husband Natalia.

Alexander Khinshtein

Who is Alexander Ivanovich Bastrykin?

The chairman of the Investigative Committee under the Prosecutor's Office - some will say.

Putin's classmate - others will answer.

All of them will be right. But not to the end. Because no one knows the true face of Alexander Bastrykin; including, I'm afraid, even his former classmate.

In addition to all his other virtues and ranks, the chairman of the UPC has one more thing - the talent of a merchant.

This is not a journalistic allegory at all, but the most medical fact, confirmed in addition by official documents.

The chief investigator of the country, who has been secretly running his own business in Central Europe for many years; such a thing will not be dreamed, it seems, even in a terrible dream ...

In the official biography of Alexander Bastrykin, there is nothing outwardly that would be conducive to doing business. He never worked in the supply chain. Government orders were not distributed. He was not involved in oil and gas.

All life is like a continuous Criminal Code; militia, prosecutor's office, science, justice. But this is only the first, deceptive impression ...

... The Troja district in the north of the Czech capital met me with green grass and the glow of tiled roofs. Birds sang.

“One of the most prestigious and greenest districts of Prague,” the guide says about Troy. - Most of the parks are occupied: Stromovka - the oldest, most beautiful Prague park; Troy Park adjacent to Troy Castle; zoo and botanical garden.

Back in the 17th century, Troy was chosen by the royal dynasty. From those years, the Prague residents were left with the royal castle in the early Baroque style - now it houses an art museum - and dozens of luxurious mansions; once the Czech nobility preferred to settle in them.

Today, as in ancient times, Troy is back in fashion. Living here is honorable and prestigious; like a city, and no longer a city: parks, greenery, a river. It is not surprising that Alexander Bastrykin also liked this area.

…That's the street I need. Knezdenska, 767/2c, - reads a sign on a multi-story multi-colored tower, built already in the era of capitalism. It is here, according to the documents, that the office of the company “LAW Bohemia” is located.

True, there are no identification marks on the house. At the entrance hang only signs with the names of the residents; "LAW Bohemia" is not among them. None of the neighbors I interviewed had heard of such a company either. And yet it is right here; just for some reason, its owners are in no hurry to advertise their activities.

Russians? Yes, there are some kind of visits, - the middle-aged lady coming out of the entrance draws out uncertainly; she takes the child for a walk in the yard (graveled paths, neatly trimmed lawns) and is clearly not in the mood for conversations ...

... Alexander Bastrykin has a peculiar sense of humor. “LAW Bohemia” means “Bohemian Law” in translation. This office, however, has nothing to do with jurisprudence; as follows from the founding documents, the subject of its activity is real estate transactions; In other words, real estate.

I don't know if the Czech (including the Bohemian) right allows its officials to engage in commerce; in Russian legislation there are no two opinions on this matter.

If someone else had been in Bastrykin's place - the director of the theater, for example, or the head of the boat station - he could still make a reservation about his legal illiteracy. But for the chief investigator of the country, a professional jurist, a doctor of sciences who has devoted his whole life to jurisprudence, such common truths seem so obvious that they do not even require explanation.

However, to the point.

The company "LAW Bohemia" was established in Prague on March 1, 2000. The form of organization is a limited liability company. Type of activity, as already mentioned, real estate transactions. The authorized capital is 100 thousand Czech crowns (4 thousand euros).

All this information can be easily obtained in the commercial register of the Prague City Court - an analogue of our registration service; in the Czech Republic, information about commercial firms is open; it is given to anyone who wants it.

This one, taken by me, also contains information about the owners of “LAW Bohemia”. There are only two of them:

Alexander Bastrykin, 08/27/1953 year of birth, St. Petersburg, st. Galernaya, 26, kv.№№, Russian Federation. Contribution to the authorized capital - 50 thousand kroons. Ownership share - 50%.

Olga Alexandrova, 03/28/1970 year of birth. The address, the amount of the contribution and the shares are the same.

Both the date of birth and the home address - everything coincides with the personal data of the chairman of the UPC; It wasn't hard to check it out. As for the second founder of the company, there are no questions here either: Olga Ivanovna Alexandrova is the legal wife of the chairman of the UPC, the mother of his two children and, as it turns out now, a partner.

However, when "LAW Bohemia" was just created, there was nothing reprehensible in that; in March 2000, Bastrykin was still head of the North-Western branch of the Russian Law Academy of the Ministry of Justice and was not a civil servant. By law, he could establish any commercial structures; The main thing is to submit declarations on time.

And therefore, with a light heart, Bastrykin, having organized “LAW Bohemia”, simultaneously became its director; so as not to share with anyone, apparently.

In July 2001, however, he was appointed acting. Head of the Federal Department of the Ministry of Justice for the Northwestern Federal District. From that day on, Bastrykin, obeying the law “On Civil Service”, was obliged to immediately resign as director of “LAW Bohemia” and withdraw from the founders. This procedure is not complicated at all, thousands of people have passed through it; transfer your share to the wife-companion, and that's the end of it.

But for some reason he doesn't. The necessary changes will be made to the register of the Prague Commercial Court only in March 2003. The chairman of the UPC has not said goodbye to the foundation to this day; despite the fact that he managed to work both as the head of the head office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Central Federal District and as deputy prosecutor general, now he is at all - he heads the most powerful department.

The official extract I received (as of May 2008) states that Alexander Bastrykin is still the owner of a 50% stake in LAW Bohemia. In accordance with Czech law, this means that he owns not only half of the company, but also half of its entire property. In the event of the liquidation of LAW Bohemia, Bastrykin and his wife will automatically receive all the property of the company.

In particular, housing in house No. 767/2s on Knezdenska Street. In this mysterious house, I counted at least three apartments associated with "LAW Bohemia". One of them has its legal address registered. The second is the full property of the company (read - the Bastrykin family). The third belongs to the son of their business partner, 22-year-old Georgy Shutenko. (His father, Igor Shutenko, is today the director of LAW Bohemia in place of Bastrykin.)

In a word, there is where to roam. Prices for Prague real estate are growing by leaps and bounds. In this area, they are among the most expensive: 2.5-3 thousand euros per square meter. (One of the residents of the “Bastrykino” house confessed to me, for example, that he bought his 80-meter apartment for 5.3 million crowns - in terms of about 210 thousand euros.)

But there are also houses where “LAW Bohemia” was registered before. Until 2003, its legal address was located in the fashionable town of Kladno, 15 kilometers from Prague (Jizni Street, 2942). Then two years - in the suburban area Tukhomiritsa. Only in 2005 “LAW Bohemia” finally moved to Troy, to Knezdenska.

It is clear that such an economy needs an eye and an eye. Probably for this reason Bastrykin flew until recently to the Czech Republic with an enviable frequency. His last visit was noted in December last year, that is, already when he was chairman of the UPC.

The most striking thing is that at the same time, Alexander Ivanovich also managed to get himself a ... two-year business visa. It was issued by the Czech police on February 6 last year (No. FA 0436991) and is still valid. Moreover, it is affixed in ... his service passport (62 No. 2739038).

Who does not know: a business visa is a document that gives the right to engage in commercial activities in the host country. To get it, you need a very serious justification.

I bet you will never guess what wording the Deputy Prosecutor General wrote in his visa application (Bastrykin was then in this position). “Execution of managerial functions” is inscribed in black and white on his papers. (All of them, by the way, are stored in the Czech police department for work with foreigners.)

These documents also contain a notarized invitation issued to Bastrykin by Georgy Shutenko, the son of the director of LAW Bohemia; he guaranteed that he would put him in his apartment at the address already known to us: Prague-8, Troy, Knezdenska, 767/2s.

(I doubt, however, that Alexander Ivanovich would need to take advantage of his hospitality; everything is in order with a roof over his head.)

Frankly, I tried to track down Shutenko's father and son in order to understand what connects them with the chief Russian investigator. Alas, my search was in vain.

As a result, we managed to learn a little about them. Both of them are natives of Ashgabat. In 1993, they received Russian citizenship. Officially, the Shutenko family is registered in the remote village of Seltsovo, Pochinkovsky district, Smolensk region, where, of course, no one has ever seen them. In parallel, in the mid-1990s, Shutenko Sr. was registered in Ukraine (Kyiv, Garina St., 51). Apparently, they live permanently in the Czech Republic. They are co-founders of a number of local commercial structures.

Where their paths crossed with Bastrykin - only God knows. But, apparently, each of the parties does not regret the acquaintance; They have been together for five long years.

After all, even if you are at least three times a professor and a doctor of sciences, you still cannot do without quick and tortuous cosmopolitan partners; especially if you live in Russia and do business in the Czech Republic…

Most recently, the leadership of the UPC announced that the employees of this department "became the object of the activities of Western intelligence services and terrorist organizations." Simply put, foreign spies and saboteurs are trying to recruit honest Russian investigators.

Holy simplicity! Why fuss, look for approaches to ordinary investigators, solder them, build multi-way combinations, when under your nose - you just have to stretch out your hand - here it is, the desired goal.
The head of a law enforcement agency, the highest-level secret carrier, secretly doing business in a foreign country - yes, no self-respecting intelligence agency will miss such an amazing recruitment opportunity.

I have no doubt that the Czech counterintelligence has long been interested in the activities of the modest office "LAW Bohemia"; and how else, if a business visa is pasted into the general's official passport.

The Czech Republic has always been an invisible field of spy wars; its geopolitical position is the best way to do this. Only before the Czech special services worked under the supervision of older brothers from the KGB, and today the vacant place was taken by “partners” from the CIA.

This is especially true now that the construction of an American radar station, the largest electronic intelligence center in Europe, aimed at Russia, has begun at the Brda military training ground.

However, let him better understand these secret intricacies of the FSB. Let's turn to the legal side.
Remaining among the co-founders of the Czech company, the chairman of the UPC, like no one else, could not help but understand that he was grossly violating several laws at once.

First, the laws on the prosecutor's office and on the civil service, which strictly forbid officials to be owners of commercial structures.

Secondly, the tax code: after all, Bastrykin prudently does not indicate income from the activities of “LAW Bohemia” in his declarations, thus concealing them from taxes.

Thirdly, the law on state secrets, which prohibits secret carriers from traveling abroad without hindrance. Each voyage to the Czech Republic Bastrykin was obliged to issue an official report addressed to his leader; and not just formalize, but also justify the purpose of the trip. Naturally, he never wrote such documents; and what could he explain? What travels to another country to “perform managerial functions” with a service passport in his pocket?

Each of these violations is quite enough for the instant dismissal of Bastrykin, and even for the initiation of a criminal case. But…

Who will check it? Attorney General? He has no power over the chairman of the UPC, although he is his first deputy. The president? He is not a procedural person.

Moreover, no one can even initiate cases against Bastrykin, except ... Bastrykin himself. And this is the key to understanding everything that is happening.

There is no doubt: there are no angels among the current powers that be; salt is odorless. But everything has its limits, the rules of decency after all.

How can you make beautiful speeches about the rule of law, declare a crusade against crime, initiate criminal cases yourself and at the same time - quietly ride across the cordon, inspecting your own “candle factory”? This is not just a violation of the law, it is a complete discrediting of it. After this, who will believe in the honesty and integrity of the Investigative Committee, if its chairman sells real estate abroad in his free time?

And after all, nothing prevented Bastrykin from doing the same without showing his own ears. I would have issued “LAW Bohemia” for my wife or for the same cosmopolitans Shutenko and lived quietly, without secret voyages, entrepreneurial visas. No.

Why. What is the reason?

Greed? I doubt it too. What difference does it make who the business is registered for - for you or your wife.

The feeling of complete impunity is perhaps the most accurate answer. Absolute permissiveness, when it seems that you have already grabbed God by the beard, any knee-deep sea and the law is you yourself.

On such orange peel more than one dignitary stumbled: remember, for example, the high-profile case of Mabetex, when Russian officials openly opened Swiss bank accounts in their names.

I had a chance to write about another story almost similar to Bastrykin's - about the adventures of Vladimir Simonov, director general of the Agency for Control Systems, who also, having come to the civil service, “forgot” to leave the founders of Czech companies.

The career of such people ended, as a rule, bleakly: they were quietly sent into retirement or into honorable exile. And not because the authorities were being purged of those who discredited it, rather, the hardware instinct of self-preservation worked: anything can be expected from such subjects.

I do not know how the facts I have made public will affect the further fate of the Chairman of the UPC. Alexander Bastrykin enjoys the open support of many state leaders; again - the law faculty of Leningrad State University. That is why he behaves so confidently, and the whole series of scandals that constantly shake the Investigative Committee ends painlessly for him.

However, it is unlikely that both the President and the Prime Minister (not to mention the Secretary of the Security Council with the director of the FSB) were aware of the second, secret life of their colleague until today; and even more so - it is unlikely to cause them great delight.

In the end, everything - even old student friendships - must have some limits ...

Moscow-Prague-Moscow.

"The number of criminal cases on extremism initiated by the Investigative Committee of Russia increased almost one and a half times in 2014. Considering the ever-increasing activity of extremism and terrorism in the world, as evidenced by the events in France and other countries, we are constantly fighting these dangerous phenomena.".

According to him, over the past years, investigators have practically uncovered all terrorist acts and strengthened the inevitability of responsibility for extremism: " If in 2013 there were 460 such cases, in 2014 there were about six hundred, which is almost one and a half times more".

Total, " since the formation of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, almost 3.5 million reports of crimes have been considered, more than 500 thousand criminal cases have been initiated, more than 360 thousand criminal cases have been sent to the courts. Nearly 29,000 crimes were uncovered, criminal cases on which were suspended in previous years and, as they say, were gathering dust on the shelves before the reform of the investigative bodies. And this is more than 2.8 thousand murders, 3 thousand rapes and intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm to citizens", Bastrykin emphasized.

The man was denied a criminal case. Deputy Prosecutor Gladkov, in the decision to refuse to initiate proceedings, wrote: " in a telephone conversation, Bastrykin A.I. categorically refused to give explanations ... In the actions of Bastrykin A.I., only unworthy behavior of a civil servant is seen, and not a crime".

Muratov and Sokolov claimed that Bastrykin threatened the journalist's life and, at the same time, "jokingly remarked that he himself would handle the murder case."

The deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Security, in an interview with Business FM, indicated the place where the "conversation" took place: " They were in the forest, in the area of ​​Mozhayskoe highway.".
