Vladimir Borisovich Rushailo(born July 28, 1953, Morshansk, Tambov region) - Russian military officer and statesman. Colonel General (July 1, 1999), Hero of Russia (1999), Doctor of Law.

Biography

Vladimir Borisovich Rushailo was born on July 28, 1953 in Morshansk, Tambov Region, into the family of an officer of the radio engineering troops. He lived at his father's places of service in the Ryazan region and Moscow.

After graduating from Moscow high school in 1970, he entered the school, but left his studies after the first year in 1971 and got a job as a worker and then as a laboratory assistant at the Moscow Research Institute. Since 1972 he worked in the internal affairs bodies.

Since August 1999, he participated in the leadership of combat operations of federal troops against armed gangs in the territory of Dagestan and Chechnya.

For the first time, the awarding of the title of Hero of the Russian Federation to V. B. Rushailo was announced by journalist and State Duma deputy Yu. P. Shchekochikhin in Novaya Gazeta in 2003, and official information appeared only in 2008 on the website of the Federation Council of the Federation Council. From an analysis of the available information, some researchers conclude that the Decree was signed by the President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin on October 27, 1999.

In January 2001, he became a member of the Operational Headquarters for managing counter-terrorism actions in the North Caucasus.

By decrees of the President of the Russian Federation dated March 28, 2001, Rushailo was relieved of his post as Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and appointed Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

On September 9, 2002, Rushailo was involved in a traffic accident on the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky - Yelizovo highway, as a result of which five people died, among them three employees of the Russian FSB, and nine people were injured, including the governor of the Kamchatka region M. B. Mashkovtsev and chairman of the regional Council of People's Deputies N. Ya. Tokmantsev. Driving the escort car for V.B. Rushailo was senior warrant officer of the Russian FSB Directorate for the Kamchatka Region V.V. Shatalin, who saved Rushailo’s life by taking the blow of an oncoming jeep. Soon, senior warrant officer Shatalin was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation.

By decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated March 9, 2004, Rushailo was relieved of his post as Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, and on June 14 he was appointed to the post of Chairman of the Executive Committee - Executive Secretary of the CIS, from which he was released on October 5, 2007.

On December 5, 2007, deputies of the Arkhangelsk Regional Assembly elected Rushailo a member of the Federation Council from the Arkhangelsk Region: of the 54 deputies who voted, 42 voted for Rushailo, 10 voted against, and 2 ballots were declared invalid. By a resolution of the Federation Council of December 7, 2007, his powers were confirmed, after which Rushailo became a member of the Federation Council Committee on Legal and Judicial Issues and a member of the Federation Council Commission on the Development of Civil Society Institutions.

On August 22, 2008, he was elected president, on May 13, 2010, he was appointed to the position of Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for the development of relations with Kyrgyzstan, and on October 30, 2013, to the position of Vice President of Transneft OJSC for Security.

One soldier got up and went to the fifth company. “It’s laughter,” he said, returning. - Two guards have arrived. One is completely frozen, and the other is so courageous, dammit! Songs are playing. - Oh oh? go have a look... - Several soldiers headed towards the fifth company. The fifth company stood near the forest itself. A huge fire burned brightly in the middle of the snow, illuminating the tree branches weighed down with frost. In the middle of the night, soldiers of the fifth company heard footsteps in the snow and the crunching of branches in the forest. “Guys, it’s a witch,” said one soldier. Everyone raised their heads, listened, and out of the forest, into the bright light of the fire, two strangely dressed human figures stepped out, holding each other. These were two Frenchmen hiding in the forest. Hoarsely saying something in a language incomprehensible to the soldiers, they approached the fire. One was taller, wearing an officer's hat, and seemed completely weakened. Approaching the fire, he wanted to sit down, but fell to the ground. The other, small, stocky soldier with a scarf tied around his cheeks, was stronger. He raised his comrade and, pointing to his mouth, said something. The soldiers surrounded the French, laid out an overcoat for the sick man, and brought porridge and vodka to both of them. The weakened French officer was Rambal; tied with a scarf was his orderly Morel. When Morel drank vodka and finished a pot of porridge, he suddenly became painfully cheerful and began to continuously say something to the soldiers who did not understand him. Rambal refused to eat and silently lay on his elbow by the fire, looking at the Russian soldiers with meaningless red eyes. Occasionally he would let out a long groan and then fall silent again. Morel, pointing to his shoulders, convinced the soldiers that it was an officer and that he needed to be warmed up. The Russian officer, who approached the fire, sent to ask the colonel if he would take the French officer to warm him up; and when they returned and said that the colonel had ordered an officer to be brought, Rambal was told to go. He stood up and wanted to walk, but he staggered and would have fallen if the soldier standing next to him had not supported him. - What? You will not? – one soldier said with a mocking wink, turning to Rambal. - Eh, fool! Why are you lying awkwardly! It’s a man, really, a man,” reproaches to the joking soldier were heard from different sides. They surrounded Rambal, lifted him into his arms, grabbed him, and carried him to the hut. Rambal hugged the necks of the soldiers and, when they carried him, spoke plaintively: - Oh, nies braves, oh, mes bons, mes bons amis! Voila des hommes! oh, mes braves, mes bons amis! [Oh well done! O my good, good friends! Here are the people! O my good friends!] - and, like a child, he leaned his head on the shoulder of one soldier. Meanwhile, Morel sat in the best place, surrounded by soldiers. Morel, a small, stocky Frenchman, with bloodshot, watery eyes, tied with a woman's scarf over his cap, was dressed in a woman's fur coat. He, apparently drunk, put his arm around the soldier sitting next to him and sang a French song in a hoarse, intermittent voice. The soldiers held their sides, looking at him. - Come on, come on, teach me how? I'll take over quickly. How?.. - said the joker songwriter, who was hugged by Morel. Vive Henri Quatre, Vive ce roi vaillanti – [Long live Henry the Fourth! Long live this brave king! etc. (French song)] sang Morel, winking his eye. Se diable a quatre… - Vivarika! Vif seruvaru! sit-down... - the soldier repeated, waving his hand and really catching the tune. - Look, clever! Go go go go!.. - rough, joyful laughter rose from different sides. Morel, wincing, laughed too. - Well, go ahead, go ahead! Qui eut le triple talent, De boire, de batre, Et d'etre un vert galant... [Having triple talent, drink, fight and be kind...] – But it’s also complicated. Well, well, Zaletaev!.. “Kyu...” Zaletaev said with effort. “Kyu yu yu...” he drawled, carefully protruding his lips, “letriptala, de bu de ba and detravagala,” he sang. - Hey, it’s important! That's it, guardian! oh... go go go! - Well, do you want to eat more? - Give him some porridge; After all, it won’t be long before he gets enough of hunger. Again they gave him porridge; and Morel, chuckling, began to work on the third pot. Joyful smiles were on all the faces of the young soldiers looking at Morel. The old soldiers, who considered it indecent to engage in such trifles, lay on the other side of the fire, but occasionally, raising themselves on their elbows, they looked at Morel with a smile. “People too,” said one of them, dodging into his overcoat. - And wormwood grows on its root. - Ooh! Lord, Lord! How stellar, passion! Towards the frost... - And everything fell silent. The stars, as if knowing that now no one would see them, played out in the black sky. Now flaring up, now extinguishing, now shuddering, they busily whispered among themselves about something joyful, but mysterious. X The French troops gradually melted away in a mathematically correct progression. And that crossing of the Berezina, about which so much has been written, was only one of the intermediate stages in the destruction of the French army, and not at all a decisive episode of the campaign. If so much has been and is being written about the Berezina, then on the part of the French this happened only because on the broken Berezina Bridge, the disasters that the French army had previously suffered evenly here suddenly grouped together at one moment and into one tragic spectacle that remained in everyone’s memory. On the Russian side, they talked and wrote so much about the Berezina only because, far from the theater of war, in St. Petersburg, a plan was drawn up (by Pfuel) to capture Napoleon in a strategic trap on the Berezina River. Everyone was convinced that everything would actually happen exactly as planned, and therefore insisted that it was the Berezina crossing that destroyed the French. In essence, the results of the Berezinsky crossing were much less disastrous for the French in terms of the loss of guns and prisoners than Krasnoye, as the numbers show. The only significance of the Berezina crossing is that this crossing obviously and undoubtedly proved the falsity of all plans for cutting off and the justice of the only possible course of action demanded by both Kutuzov and all the troops (mass) - only following the enemy. The crowd of Frenchmen fled with an ever-increasing force of speed, with all their energy directed towards achieving their goal. She ran like a wounded animal, and she could not get in the way. This was proven not so much by the construction of the crossing as by the traffic on the bridges. When the bridges were broken, unarmed soldiers, Moscow residents, women and children who were in the French convoy - all, under the influence of the force of inertia, did not give up, but ran forward into the boats, into the frozen water. This aspiration was reasonable. The situation of both those fleeing and those pursuing was equally bad. Remaining with his own, each in distress hoped for the help of a comrade, for a certain place he occupied among his own. Having given himself over to the Russians, he was in the same position of distress, but he was on a lower level in terms of satisfying the needs of life. The French did not need to have correct information that half of the prisoners, with whom they did not know what to do, despite all the Russians’ desire to save them, died from cold and hunger; they felt that it could not be otherwise. The most compassionate Russian commanders and hunters of the French, the French in Russian service could not do anything for the prisoners. The French were destroyed by the disaster in which the Russian army was located. It was impossible to take away bread and clothing from hungry, necessary soldiers in order to give it to the French who were not harmful, not hated, not guilty, but simply unnecessary. Some did; but this was only an exception. Behind was certain death; there was hope ahead. The ships were burned; there was no other salvation but a collective flight, and all the forces of the French were directed towards this collective flight. The further the French fled, the more pitiful their remnants were, especially after the Berezina, on which, as a result of the St. Petersburg plan, special hopes were pinned, the more the passions of the Russian commanders flared up, blaming each other and especially Kutuzov. Believing that the failure of the Berezinsky Petersburg plan would be attributed to him, dissatisfaction with him, contempt for him and ridicule of him were expressed more and more strongly. Teasing and contempt, of course, were expressed in a respectful form, in a form in which Kutuzov could not even ask what and for what he was accused. They didn't talk to him seriously; reporting to him and asking his permission, they pretended to perform a sad ritual, and behind his back they winked and tried to deceive him at every step. All these people, precisely because they could not understand him, recognized that there was no point in talking to the old man; that he would never understand the full depth of their plans; that he would answer with his phrases (it seemed to them that these were just phrases) about the golden bridge, that you cannot come abroad with a crowd of vagabonds, etc. They had already heard all this from him. And everything he said: for example, that we had to wait for food, that people were without boots, it was all so simple, and everything they offered was so complex and clever that it was obvious to them that he was stupid and old, but they were not powerful, brilliant commanders. Especially after the joining of the armies of the brilliant admiral and the hero of St. Petersburg, Wittgenstein, this mood and staff gossip reached its highest limits. Kutuzov saw this and, sighing, just shrugged his shoulders. Only once, after the Berezina, he became angry and wrote the following letter to Bennigsen, who reported separately to the sovereign: “Due to your painful seizures, please, Your Excellency, upon receipt of this, go to Kaluga, where you await further orders and assignments from His Imperial Majesty.” But after Bennigsen was sent away, Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich came to the army, making the beginning of the campaign and being removed from the army by Kutuzov. Now the Grand Duke, having arrived at the army, informed Kutuzov about the displeasure of the sovereign emperor for the weak successes of our troops and for the slowness of movement. The Emperor himself intended to arrive at the army the other day. An old man, as experienced in court affairs as in military affairs, that Kutuzov, who in August of the same year was chosen commander-in-chief against the will of the sovereign, the one who removed the heir and the Grand Duke from the army, the one who, with his power, in opposition the will of the sovereign, ordered the abandonment of Moscow, this Kutuzov now immediately realized that his time was over, that his role had been played and that he no longer had this imaginary power. And he understood this not just from court relationships. On the one hand, he saw that military affairs, the one in which he played his role, was over, and he felt that his calling had been fulfilled. On the other hand, at the same time he began to feel physical fatigue in his old body and the need for physical rest. On November 29, Kutuzov entered Vilna - his good Vilna, as he said. Kutuzov was governor of Vilna twice during his service. In the rich, surviving Vilna, in addition to the comforts of life that he had been deprived of for so long, Kutuzov found old friends and memories. And he, suddenly turning away from all military and state concerns, plunged into a smooth, familiar life as much as he was given peace by the passions seething around him, as if everything that was happening now and was about to happen in the historical world did not concern him at all. Chichagov, one of the most passionate cutters and overturners, Chichagov, who first wanted to make a diversion to Greece, and then to Warsaw, but did not want to go where he was ordered, Chichagov, known for his courage in speaking to the sovereign, Chichagov, who considered Kutuzov benefited himself, because when he was sent in the 11th year to conclude peace with Turkey in addition to Kutuzov, he, making sure that peace had already been concluded, admitted to the sovereign that the merit of concluding peace belonged to Kutuzov; This Chichagov was the first to meet Kutuzov in Vilna at the castle where Kutuzov was supposed to stay. Chichagov in a naval uniform, with a dirk, holding his cap under his arm, gave Kutuzov his drill report and the keys to the city. That contemptuously respectful attitude of the youth towards the old man who had lost his mind was expressed to the highest degree in the entire address of Chichagov, who already knew the charges brought against Kutuzov. While talking with Chichagov, Kutuzov, among other things, told him that the carriages with dishes captured from him in Borisov were intact and would be returned to him. - C"est pour me dire que je n"ai pas sur quoi manger... Je puis au contraire vous fournir de tout dans le cas meme ou vous voudriez donner des diners, [You want to tell me that I have nothing to eat. On the contrary, I can serve you all, even if you wanted to give dinners.] - Chichagov said, flushing, with every word he wanted to prove that he was right and therefore assumed that Kutuzov was preoccupied with this very thing. Kutuzov smiled his thin, penetrating smile and, shrugging his shoulders, answered: “Ce n"est que pour vous dire ce que je vous dis. [I want to say only what I say.]

(11) Russian military and statesman. Colonel General (July 1, 1999), Hero of Russia (1999), Doctor of Law, Representative of the Arkhangelsk Regional Assembly in the Federation Council

"Biography"

Vladimir Borisovich Rushailo was born on July 28, 1953 in Morshansk, Tambov Region, into the family of an officer of the radio engineering troops. He lived at his father’s places of service in the Ryazan region and Moscow.

Education

After graduating from Moscow secondary school in 1970, he entered the Moscow Machine Tool Institute, but left his studies after the first year in 1971 and got a job as a worker and then as a laboratory assistant at the Moscow Research Institute. Since 1972 he worked in the internal affairs bodies.

In 1976 he graduated from the Omsk Higher Police School of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs with a degree in jurisprudence, and later from the Academy of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Activity

"News"

The ex-general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation “acquired $38 million in real estate through the back-breaking fight against organized crime.”

Former deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Combating Organized Crime (GUBOP), Anatoly Petukhov, has invested more than $38 million in real estate in Miami (Florida) since 2010.

This is stated in the investigation of the anti-corruption movement Transparency International Russia.

Russian “ghost general” became a developer in Miami

An investigation by the anti-corruption movement Transparency International Russia says that the former deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Combating Organized Crime (GUBOP), Anatoly Petukhov, has invested more than $38 million in real estate in Miami (Florida) since 2010.

Petukhov's name was found in the register of legal entities in the state of Florida. According to the investigation, since 2010, the general settled in Miami, a city with a large Russian diaspora, and at the same time purchased property in one of the most beautiful and expensive luxury condominiums in the Miami-Dade area, Continuum North Tower, worth $3.04 million.

Orlovs learn to fly

General Orlov, a former assistant to the Minister of Internal Affairs, apparently made his choice. He flew away?

After high-profile resignations in the leadership of security ministries, the heroes of many promising scandals and criminal cases begin to disappear without a trace. Apparently, at the highest level they decided that the change of composition should take place without unnecessary noise. Thus, according to our data, the former assistant to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, police lieutenant general Alexander Leonidovich Orlov, the right hand of Minister Vladimir Rushailo, left the country. Orlov was perhaps the most influential person in the ministry after the minister himself.

He managed the “purge” in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, carried out especially delicate instructions from the previous ministerial leadership.

Orlov's influence and fame changed (oh, the apparatus! - Ed.) along with the resignation of the minister. The Ministry of Internal Affairs pretends that they don’t remember Orlov. In the reception office of the Minister of Internal Affairs, they react very strangely to his name: “Who?!” We don’t have those!” Although just a few months ago, saying this would have been tantamount to idiocy. The powerful assistant was known and feared not only in the building on Zhitnaya, but also far beyond its borders.

Former Russian Minister of Internal Affairs Vladimir Rushailo will become Transneft Vice President for Security

Vladimir Rushailo, who has worked as Minister of Internal Affairs, Secretary of the Russian Security Council, and Executive Secretary of the CIS, will become Transneft's vice president for security, two people close to Transneft said. A Transneft representative confirmed: starting from November, Rushailo will work as vice president for security at the company; the order of appointment was signed on Tuesday evening.

Rushailo is a famous fighter against organized crime. Even under Soviet rule, he was the head of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department for the fight against banditry and organized crime. In 1992, Rushailo was appointed head of the Moscow Central Internal Affairs Directorate for Combating Organized Crime, which later became the Regional Directorate for Combating Organized Crime; He combined this position with the position of deputy head of the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After a conflict in the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Rushailo was in the personnel reserve for some time, and then became deputy minister and, in 1999, minister of internal affairs.

The United Russia faction in the State Duma will be headed by the former main anti-mafia fighter

A graduate of the Academy of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs worked as the first deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Moscow from 1995 to 1997, after which he was appointed first deputy minister of internal affairs - head of the Main Directorate for Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. In May 1999 After the appointment of Vladimir Rushailo to the post of Minister of Internal Affairs, he decided to leave the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Rushailo is our president?

In 1999, unpredictable (to the general public) Boris Yeltsin carried out his next reshuffle and the post of Minister of Internal Affairs was taken by Vladimir Rushailo. Most members of the “Big Family” felt relieved - there was no need to fear all sorts of consequences and investigations. They finally managed to seat a faithful and reliable person on the main law enforcement throne. It is unfortunate, but during that sad period, “Papa Borya” was practically unable to make any serious decisions on his own. This means that someone else especially close to him was behind Rushailo’s rise to the ministerial post. Most experts were inclined to think that Rushailo was once again “made” by Boris Berezovsky. “I do not rule out that Boris Abramovich Berezovsky could have influenced this,” says former Interior Minister Kulikov. “He, I repeat, did not hide the fact that they were on friendly terms. I admit that this was done precisely at Berezovsky’s request.”

Hexogen - Ryazan-Rushailo

At a meeting of law enforcement agencies in 1999, the possibility of holding anti-terrorism exercises was discussed. As they say, FSB director Patrushev suggested holding them in Ivanovo or Orel. However, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Vladimir Rushailo, being at that moment the head of the Federal Anti-Terrorism Commission, insisted that the exercises take place in Ryazan. This was the first moment.

A drunk driver is no problem for Vladimir Rushailo

The passenger, and not the driver of the jeep, was found guilty of the accident, as a result of which Security Council Secretary Vladimir Rushailo and the people accompanying him were injured. These are the conclusions of the prosecutor's office of the Kamchatka region, which investigated the circumstances of the accident that happened last fall. The driver of the jeep, who was drunk, could not be brought to justice.

The passenger of the jeep, businessman Petr Pak, was found guilty of the incident, who, according to the regional deputy prosecutor Vladimir Chistov, “interfered with the movement of the car,” as a result of which the SUV crashed into the motorcade. But it is impossible to bring him to justice: Pak died from his injuries.

Tambov comrade

Some government officials “jump” from one position to another like balls. In our cases this is justified. So, for example, there is an anti-crisis manager who is left to “patch the holes” left by his predecessor. But there are also “specialists” whose departure everyone breathes a sigh of relief. The worst thing is when such people occupy responsible positions in the government system. According to the laws of the genre, they cannot be put on the street, and it is impossible to entrust a worthwhile task. But these “poor fellows” don’t understand subtle hints that it’s time to find some other use for themselves.

In the spring of 2001, the pages of the foreign press were full of the surname Rushailo, which was exotic for Western readers. We were talking about the resignations of a number of Russian ministers. In addition to “nuclear director” Evgeny Adamov and Defense Minister Igor Sergeev, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Vladimir Rushailo, lost his position. “Most likely, order will be restored in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the police associated with it, since the President not only removed in the person of Vladimir Rushailo a person from Yeltsin’s team who was involved with corrupt oligarchs,” a correspondent of the German newspaper Die Suddeutsche Zeitung reported in this regard from Moscow. “But moreover, by appointing Boris Gryzlov as the new Minister of Internal Affairs, he brought another of his supporters into the Government.”

A crazy star fell from the sky

However, some such secret heroes sometimes become obvious. So in March 2003, from a letter from the Alpha group fighters to one of the newspapers, it suddenly became known that by closed decrees the title of Hero of the Russian Federation was awarded to the former Minister of Internal Affairs and then Secretary of the Security Council Vladimir Rushailo, FSB Director Nikolai Patrushev and Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov. Let’s take a look at the officially approved “Regulations” about this title. It says in black and white: “The title of Hero of the Russian Federation is awarded for services to the state and people associated with the accomplishment of a heroic feat” (emphasis mine - V.V.). What specific “heroic deeds” are listed on the combat account of the years. Rushailo, Patrusheva and Ustinova - an aerial ram, a successful delivery behind enemy lines, or testing military equipment at the risk of life? This is still a mystery to this day.

Vladimir Rushailo was hit in the head by a jeep. Five people died, nine were injured

Before the October meeting of the Russian Security Council, which should be entirely devoted to the problems of the Far East, Vladimir Rushailo made a study tour of the region. He visited Khabarovsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Vladivostok, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, and on Sunday flew to Kamchatka. There, Mr. Rushailo, together with the leaders of the local administration, held several meetings, talked with deputies, military sailors, shipbuilders, fishermen, promising them to solve many economic, including fuel, problems facing the region.

Dacha Rushailo

State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein has found another “target” for parliamentary inquiries, which may result in the initiation of new criminal cases. In an interview with Radio Liberty, he said that he was studying how the executive secretary of the CIS, Vladimir Rushailo, became the owner of a mansion in the village of Arkhangelskoye near Moscow. The deputy does not hide the fact that there are other candidates on his list. “I don’t come from the dachas. I simply have to respond to all incoming signals about the corruption component in the activities of officials,” Khinshtein told Izvestia. “In the same way as the prosecutor’s office is obliged to respond to any statement of a crime.” I received a signal that there is a luxurious mansion built with unearned income, and I react.”

Vladimir Rushailo: takeaway man

The history of the so-called “democratic” period of Russia has not yet been written. And this will not be done soon, since we have to “cut” to the quick. Many of those who made a quick career in those days are still in office, and those who amassed capital still remain in the ranks of the “heroes” of the newly-minted Russian capitalism. These people did not think about the future, because then many human destinies were broken, “fast careers” and huge fortunes were made. But they were considered "heroes". One of them is CIS Executive Secretary Vladimir Rushailo.

The interior is nostalgic and official

So, Vladimir Borisovich Rushailo began his career in 1972 by entering the Omsk Higher Police School. After the “tower”, our hero ended up in the 4th department of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department, which dealt with thefts and robberies, and a few years later Vladimir Borisovich was already appointed deputy department for combating banditry. In 1988, Rushailo headed the famous 6th Department, which was already fighting organized crime, the presence of which was finally recognized by the USSR government with a special decree “On the fight against dangerous manifestations of group crime.” But the collapse of the Union almost ended the brilliant career of the future Minister of Internal Affairs.

The fact is that this same organized crime practically came to power and openly drove around the capital in a BMW, rattled chains and bent fingers in the highest offices. But here, too, absolutely incredible events happened in Rushailo’s life: suddenly, by the wave of some sorcerer’s wand, in 1993 Vladimir Borisovich was offered to head a new structure - the Regional Directorate for Organized Crime, which at that time became the most powerful law enforcement agency in the country. Soon the expression. “Shabolovskys are cooler than Solntsevskys” (it was on Shabolovka that the RUOP was located), which Rushailo himself liked so much, became popular. But what was meant here was not the power of law over lawlessness.

A new church is being built at an accelerated pace near the Ministry of Internal Affairs building on Zhitnaya Street. It may be that the current minister, Vladimir Rushailo, will still have time to visit it. However, you can atone for your sins in any other place. Thank God, there are more than enough churches in Moscow. We have much more of them than prisons and temporary detention centers.

Rushailo must leave

So, Vladimir Borisovich Rushailo began his career in 1972 by entering the Omsk Higher Police School. After the “tower”, our hero ended up in the 4th department of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department, which dealt with thefts and robberies, and a few years later Vladimir Borisovich was already appointed deputy department for combating banditry. In 1988, Rushailo headed the famous 6th Department, which was already fighting organized crime, the presence of which was finally recognized by the USSR government with a special decree “On the fight against dangerous manifestations of group crime.”

Rushailo did not return some rather large money on time

According to the information received, Rushailo will soon move to another job, namely in Korzhakov’s service. However, in a conversation with Zhuritsky, it was established that Korzhakov knows Rushailo very well and maintains friendly relations with him, but he does not want to hire him. Therefore, many conclude that he will transfer to the FSB service. Rumors about Rushailo's departure have been circulating for a long time, but recently (about a month) these conversations have become very active. One version of the transition to another job is interpreted as follows:

Some time ago, Rushailo had serious problems with some company and its “roof” regarding the return of money, i.e. Rushailo did not return quite a lot of money to one of the companies on time, and at present he cannot return it. He had serious conversations with the “roof” of this company.

Most likely this is an unfunny, stupid, old story. The owner of some PR agency, hired by Berezovsky for public “promotion” of the then little-known police major general Rushailo, the first thing he advised, behind the scenes, of course, to his new charge was to undergo immediate plastic surgery of the ears, since the image public policy also presupposes external attractiveness. Rushailo then wisely refused. From surgery. But not from a political career...

Vladimir Rushailo: the second dacha figure after Mikhail Kasyanov.
Photo by Artem Zhitenev (NG photo)

The so-called dacha business continues to develop. Following ex-Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov, it may affect the former head of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, ex-secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, and now head of the CIS executive committee Vladimir Rushailo. As it became known yesterday, deputy Alexander Khinshtein, who previously initiated Kasyanov’s case, sent a request to the Registration Chamber regarding Rushailo’s real estate in the Moscow region. But, as expected, this will not be the end of the matter. On Radio Liberty, the deputy promised to sort out the Family’s real estate. At the same time, in a conversation with an NG correspondent, he refused to name specific names.

“I’m finding out with what funds the modest executive secretary of the CIS purchased a luxurious mansion with all the amenities in the village of Arkhangelskoye on Kaluga Highway,” the deputy told an NG correspondent yesterday. – This is a government village where state dachas are located. As far as I know, this has nothing to do with the Gazprom village. And nearby there is a cottage village. I'm finding out who the house is registered to. Vladimir Borisovich, as you know, has many children, but, fortunately, I know all their names.” According to NG, we can talk about house number 39 on Zvezdnaya Street in the village of Arkhangelskoye. Regarding the intention to “deal with the real estate of members of the so-called Family (the entourage of ex-President Boris Yeltsin), the deputy said that he did not name names, “so as not to give people the opportunity to prepare, not to provide them with some kind of carte blanche.” Therefore, it is not clear whether the parliamentarian has come to the attention of people who are believed to be members of this so-called Family.

In addition, Deputy Khinshtein prepared an appeal addressed to the President of Russia, which speaks, in particular, in his words, “about the treacherous, sabotage activities of Vladimir Rushailo as Executive Secretary of the CIS.” The deputy intends to send the same appeals to the other heads of state of the CIS. Answering the question about why Vladimir Rushailo became the object of another investigation, the deputy explained: “He and I have been “attracted” to each other for a long time. But for some time Rushailo fell out of my sight. And then, during a trip to Kyrgyzstan for the presidential elections, I saw him there (Vladimir Rushailo headed the observer mission of the CIS countries - “NG”). And, like in an old romance, memories came flooding back to me.”

It is possible that the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation will receive a new “dacha” request. So far, such a request has been sent to the Registration Chamber - regarding documents for the purchase of a country house in Arkhangelskoye. As for Vladimir Rushailo’s own reaction to these statements, nothing is known about it yet. It was not possible to reach representatives of the executive committee of the CIS countries yesterday. So far there have been no official comments from the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation.

Arkhangelskoe village

The Arkhangelskoye settlement is located in a picturesque area of ​​the Moscow region, 10 kilometers from Moscow along the Kaluzhskoye Highway, next to the Arkhangelskoye rest house, which is administered by the administrative department of the President of the Russian Federation. Not far from government dachas, forest plots with ready-made cottages are now being sold. According to realtors, this area is in increasing demand. In the village, the territory of which is fenced and strictly guarded, infrastructure and communications are fully prepared. The area of ​​the plots for sale is from 30 to 70 acres, the price fluctuates on average around 20 thousand dollars per hundred square meters, the cost of 1 sq. m. meter - from $800. Nearby is the cottage village of RAO Gazprom Letovo.

In February 2000, the Investigative Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs dropped the criminal case against Khinshtein due to the fact that the crime ceased to pose a public danger.

Awards

He was awarded the orders “Courage”, “Honor”, ​​“For Personal Courage”, as well as the badge “Honored Worker of the Ministry of Internal Affairs”.

IMAGE IS NOTHING

He is “the main collector and keeper of compromising evidence on everyone and everything.” He is also the “chief controller of the domestic mafia.” He is also a “talented detective.” He is also “Berezovsky’s man.” He is a “rich man”. He is also “Narushailo”. He is also “the personification of police lawlessness.” He is also “Shabolovsky”. These labels and nicknames stuck to Vladimir Rushailo gradually, as he climbed the career ladder.

At the same time, he is one of the most mysterious and private personalities in the government. Few people can talk about his hobbies and his leisure time. He rarely appears in public places and almost never gives interviews. Rushailo is a person with a short official biography, which does not even indicate the names of his parents. If possible, he would prefer to wear a mask.

Once upon a time, one of the oligarchs hired a PR agency called “Privy Councilor” to promote Rushailo. The first thing that the head of the agency, Vladimir Piliy, advised his ward was to get plastic surgery on his ears. They say that a person with such “decoration” cannot be taken seriously. However, Rushailo did not listen, which in the end turned out to be completely justified. Everyone not only takes Vladimir Borisovich extremely seriously, but they are also afraid of him. And in a panic.

TALENTED DETECTIVE

Vladimir Borisovich was born in the Tambov region, in the city of Morshansk. After some time, the family moved to Moscow, where young Volodya graduated from school, and then worked as a worker and laboratory assistant in one of the capital’s research institutes. He was never a leader in the team. Quite the opposite. He constantly had to defend his dignity in front of his peers.

Unprepossessing appearance, clumsy surname, protruding ears - and all this with a great desire to prove to everyone that he is the best. A typical teenage set of complexes that Rushailo has not gotten rid of to this day. He does not tolerate leaders around him, and if any appear, he eliminates them without the slightest doubt.

Apparently, these same complexes explain his desire to go to work in the police.

In 1972, the future minister entered the Omsk Higher Police School. The choice of this educational institution did not fall by chance. If you were accepted into the Moscow “tower” only after serving in the army, then you were accepted into the Omsk one after school. After its completion, Rushailo, without any cronyism, managed to get into the 4th department of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department, which dealt with thefts and robberies.

After several years of impeccable service, Vladimir Borisovich was appointed deputy head of the newly created 6th department for combating banditry. Initially, the work of the department was based solely on sheer enthusiasm.

Rushailo spent the day and night on Petrovka. Getting into the subject. I studied the thieves' structure. When I got used to it, serious and complicated crimes, as former colleagues of Vladimir Borisovich say, clicked like nuts. With his help, specialists from the Research Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared a report to the government, after which a special resolution was issued “On the fight against dangerous manifestations of group crime.”

The state finally agreed that such a relic of capitalist society as organized crime exists in the USSR.

In 1988, Rushailo became the head of the 6th department. The opera soon celebrated a major victory. During the all-Union operation, detectives caught a large gang of counterfeiters, led by the authoritative mafioso Muromtsev. It was followed by other, no less significant defeats of various criminal groups. However, with the collapse of the USSR, the bandits developed so much that one small department of the MUR was clearly not enough to fight them. The capital was flooded with skin-headed thugs in crimson jackets, gold chains and six-hundredth Mercedes.

GODFATHER

In 1993, Vladimir Borisovich was asked to head a new structure - the Regional Directorate for Organized Crime (RUOP). The unit was allocated one floor in the massive building of the former Oktyabrsky district committee of the CPSU on Shabolovka. Soon, the RUOP occupied the house completely, and after a while, criminals began to walk around it a kilometer away.

Vladimir Borisovich chose the most correct tactics, initially placing his unit above the law and adopting “Zheglov’s” methods. It was considered absolutely normal to plant a cartridge, a pistol or drugs in a suspect’s pocket.

If the MUR tried not to talk about its successes, then the RUOP, on the contrary, advertised them in every possible way. All operations were filmed and then shown to journalists. Moreover, the seizures took place extremely brutally. Before the eyes of the population, self-confident owners of “six hundredths” turned into hunted disabled people.

When showing exciting footage at briefings, Rushailo loved to watch the enthusiastic reaction of the writing fraternity and made a face as if he himself had detained, broken and tortured offenders.

The so-called “mask shows” and the abbreviation SOBR (special rapid response squad) are also inventions of Vladimir Borisovich. He loves to let fear in.

Businessmen, crushed by their “roofs”, flocked to Shabolovka to seek justice. Rushailo's popularity began to grow rapidly along with the well-being of the head of the RUOP himself and his closest associates.

The “gratitude” from the businessmen who received protection (police “protection”) was so limitless that over time it had to be streamlined. For this purpose, at Shabolovka, at the instigation of the banker Smolensky, a special charitable fund was created “Promoting the social protection of high-risk professional groups.” If you receive protection, make a contribution. If you want to continue to work calmly, pay us, not the bandits.

In other words, law enforcement officers created a cash fund, which among thieves is usually called a “common fund.” This organization, formally headed by retired Colonel Alexander Kachur, has been written about dozens of times. Over three years, more than 16 billion rubles and almost two million dollars passed through her accounts, according to official data alone.

Rushailo was not greedy. The funds received from benefactors were spent on bonuses for operational personnel, on food, on vacations abroad, and on treatment. Any ordinary RUOP member looked much better off than his colleagues from other police units.

So imperceptibly the RUOP turned into what it was called upon to fight. Into a powerful, well-armed and almost omnipotent group, where everyone is bound by mutual responsibility, where their own laws, based on strict discipline, rule and where dual power is unacceptable. Subordinates called Rushailo nothing less than “dad,” and in the criminal environment, RUOP employees began to be called simply “Shabolovskys.”

BEREZOVSKY'S MAN

Apparently, even before the formation of the RUOP, Rushailo realized that it was useless to fight organized crime. And since the disgrace cannot be stopped, it must be organized and led.

In a short period of time, Vladimir Borisovich established control over all the criminal clans of the capital. Thanks to a powerful network of agents, he had complete data on the movement of financial flows between bandits, authorities and large entrepreneurs. The nascent oligarchy soon realized that Rushailo was beneficial not only as a defender, but also as a walking warehouse of compromising evidence and various types of operational information.

Rushailo is usually called Berezovsky's man. With the same success, he can be called a man of Gusinsky, Smolensky, Boyko and others. Gusinsky once even stated: “We will bring this guy to the Minister of Internal Affairs.” The prediction came true, but without Gusinsky. At a certain stage, Rushailo’s career ceased to depend on himself. Influential and wealthy “producers” took up the task of promoting the general.

However, Rushailo also had enemies who did not want to put up with the lawlessness caused by his chicks. For example, Otari Kvantrishvili openly threatened Vladimir Borisovich and his family. But where is Kvantrishvili now, and where is Rushailo? They say that the fun on Shabolovka on the occasion of the death of Otari Vitalievich lasted two days. “Dad” gave the command: “Go for a walk!”

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a very well developed instinct for self-preservation. They protect him no worse than the president. When Rushailo's motorcade moves through Moscow, one can assume that a third party of the state is traveling.

By the end of 1996, Rushailo’s activities as head of the Moscow RUOP began to openly irritate the then head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Anatoly Kulikov. Zhitnaya had accumulated a lot of papers on Rushailo that required verification.

Specialists from the Control and Audit Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to Shabolovka, and in parallel with them, the Internal Security Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (USB) also took over the RUOP.

RUOP immediately learned about the impending threat, for which they took a number of measures. The head of the investigation was invited to a restaurant for a “friendly” conversation and was offered a number of conditions on which it would be possible to “agree.”

The conditions were rejected, after which the official from the CSS began to seriously and reasonably fear for the lives of his loved ones. The inspectors from KRU also had a hard time. They could only move around the RUOP building accompanied by strong local employees, and enter the building only with a pre-ordered pass. But even in such a situation, the auditors managed to dig up something. Basically, all the violations discovered concerned the relationship between the management of the RUOP and the aforementioned fund “Promotion of the Protection of High-Risk Professional Groups.”

At the end of September 1996, the collected materials landed on Kulikov’s desk. Anatoly Sergeevich did not want to remove the “collection” from the hut, but simply decided to remove Rushailo from the RUOP, offering him a position with a promotion.

Rushailo occupied the position of deputy chief of the GUOP for less than a week. Realizing that he had simply been deceived and separated from Shabolovka forever, Rushailo told Kulikov that he would seek protection from journalists. Kulikov responded by threatening to fire him and fulfilling his promise after Rushailo held a press conference. The materials of inspections of the activities of the RUOP ended up in the prosecutor's office.

Kulikov clearly underestimated the capabilities of his opponent and his wealthy “producers.” He realized this only two years later, when he turned from an all-powerful deputy prime minister and minister into a pensioner. When the Chernomyrdin government resigned in 1998, Kulikov was the only one who was prohibited from performing his previous duties until a new cabinet was formed. The documents sent to the prosecutor's office lay motionless until they appeared in some publications in a completely rotten state.

Ears of the Russian mafia

(Senator V. B. Rushailo, former Minister of Internal Affairs)

For twenty years, Vladimir Borisovich Rushailo went from an ordinary officer to the Minister of Internal Affairs and then the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, surviving only one unfortunate fall. This is when in 1996 he was removed from the leadership of the Moscow RUOP. It is clear that the road to the chair of the country's chief police officer was not strewn with roses. What exactly predetermined his career takeoff?

Shabolovsky common fund

Rushailo was one of the pioneers in the fight against organized crime. In the late 80s, after numerous publications in the press about thieves in law and their adventures at the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department, it was decided to create a corresponding department. The new structure was headed by Gafar Khusainov, and Rushailo became his deputy. Soon the opera celebrated its first major victory: during a powerful all-Union operation, a gang of counterfeiters led by the famous authority Muromtsev was busted.

After three years of fruitful work, the Murovsky department was transformed into the Regional Directorate for Organized Crime (RUOP), and Rushailo took its helm. By this time, the Soviet Union had died for a long time, following the wild cooperative movement, market showdowns were approaching, covering the country with a bloody wave of contract killings and gangster “shooters.”

And Ruop’s “mask shows” became one of the signs of that dashing era of accumulation of initial capital, the same as crimson jackets, shaved heads, golds and control shots to the head from TT pistols. The Moscow RUOP was assigned a location on Shabolovka, in the building of the former Oktyabrsky district committee of the CPSU. The awkward acronym quickly caught on.

Rushailo chose the most correct tactics. If the MUR, in the old fashioned way, tried not to advertise its successes, then Vladimir Borisovich, on the contrary, began to actively make friends with the press. Hostages were released in batches, thieves' gatherings were broken up by dozens, and all these exploits were published in a favorable light in the media.

To give more credibility to his special measures, Rushailo lobbied the Ministry of Internal Affairs to organize a force support group under the RUOP, which was dubbed the Special Rapid Reaction Unit (SOBR). After this, almost every operation of Rushailo’s “chicks” became indicative primarily for journalists, and the capture of various scoundrels was allowed to be carried out extremely harshly. Spotted camouflage and black masks have become firmly established in police fashion.

But, despite the PR efforts of Vladimir Borisovich, the number of bandits in the post-Soviet space did not decrease. Most of the “purely specific” guys, after being detained and formally serving time in police prisons, calmly continued to “protect” in freedom. Lacking, first of all, an evidence base, investigators were forced to set the “cool” people free. Then the RUOP members adopted Zheglov’s methods and began to supply the crime bosses with drugs, weapons and ammunition. After which the Solntsevsky, Izmailovsky, Tagansky and other bandits really began to be openly afraid of the Shabolovskys. It was at this stage that RUOP began to resemble a “roof”. Moreover, the “roof” is legalized, with working methods inherent only in elite intelligence services.

And Rushailo made grandiose plans and dreamed of creating a real alternative to the KGB/FSB. According to his concepts, RUOP was supposed to become an analogue of the American FBI. It was not possible to achieve this without serious cash injections. But only an idiot could count on financial assistance from the state, which Rushailo never considered himself to be. And then Vladimir Borisovich decides to creatively develop the teachings of his film mentor Zheglov: “A thief should be in prison... if he cannot pay.”

...In the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, the materials of the internal investigation conducted by the Internal Security Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (No. 31-57-98 of May 6, 1998) have been collecting dust for several years. The multi-page work was called: “On the abuses of former leaders of the Moscow RUOP in the use of funds from the charitable foundation “Promotion of social protection of high-risk professional groups.” This fund was at one time the unofficial fund of the police special unit created by Rushailo. And those with whom the RUOP members were called upon to fight usually call such cash registers “common funds.” These materials contain the tragedy of Rushailo. Not material, moral. Because he once violated the great commandment: do not believe, do not fear, do not ask.

It all started with the fact that in 1993, on the sidelines of the building of the former Oktyabrsky district committee of the CPSU on Shabolovka, a certain Alexander Kachur and the then little-known banker Alexander Smolensky appeared. This “sweet couple” suggested that Rushailo create a special fund for material support of RUOP fighters who are constantly risking their lives. The humane idea was met with enthusiasm. Fortunately, there were more than enough people willing to quit (including future oligarchs) and live in peace. Kachur became the director of the fund. And Smolensky took the modest but honorable position of a member of the board of trustees.

And things went well. According to official financial documents alone, over three and a half years, 16.4 billion rubles (old) and 1.8 million dollars fell into the accounts of the fund “Promotion of Social Protection of High-Risk Professional Groups.” The fund's accounts, by the way, were opened in the Stolichny bank owned by Smolensky.

If you look at the list of commercial structures that transferred money to the RUOP cash desk, then among them you can find those that over time began to be called oligarchic: “Russian Credit”, “Alfa Bank”, “Promradtehbank”, etc.

It is also curious that until 1997 the capital’s RUOP did not have its own financial unit. Financial and economic services, clearly insufficient, for this police unit were provided through the Moscow Main Internal Affairs Directorate. The charitable foundation was designed to fill this unfortunate gap. And the welfare of the Rushailo secret service began to grow day by day.

This is how the best free canteen in the GUVD system appeared in the RUOP. The fighters began to regularly receive additional bonuses and financial assistance. The shabby district committee building soon resembled the office of a wealthy commercial company. New furniture, modern office equipment and even sports equipment have appeared here. The vehicle fleet, ammunition, and communications equipment have been significantly updated. In a word, Rushailo took care of his “chicks” like a father. That’s why they called him “Papa” on Shabolovka.

Who's to say this is bad? A warrior - a defender of law and order should not feel inferior in front of a bandit. Everything is correct. There’s just one problem: the “social protection” of the Moscow RUOP was paid for by precisely those whom Rushailo and his charges were obliged to catch and imprison.

There were many oddities in the functioning of the fund. For example, for some reason, the management of this charitable organization (Kachur and Smolensky) always considered Vladimir Borisovich and his closest assistants and deputies to be the most “disadvantaged” in RUOP. The money was given to the Ruop authorities on account and then written off. Thus, Rushailo personally received 130 million rubles only for protocol and entertainment expenses. His assistants Orlov, Sokolov, Pukhov, Kudinov spent a total of 660 million rubles for the same purposes.

Protocol events included holding feasts with friends and charitable partners, purchasing flowers, perfumes, and expensive souvenirs. In particular, with the money allocated from the fund, Vladimir Borisovich personally paid for as many as 10 banquets, for some reason purchased a model of the Bounty ship, and two more sculptural compositions, “Wolf” and “Stallion,” each worth almost five million rubles. Let us recall for comparison that the official annual salary of an ordinary police officer at that time was 15 million rubles.

In addition, the managers and trustees of the fund, as follows from the materials of the internal investigation of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, grossly violated the instructions of the State Tax Service of the Russian Federation on the application of the Law “On Personal Income Tax”. The fact is that no one collected income tax on the money received by RUOP members from the fund. And in three and a half years, a decent amount of 500 thousand rubles (denominated) accumulated. This does not include fines and penalties for late payment of taxes to the state budget.

But the facts are absolutely amazing. With money from the so-called charitable foundation, Alexander Kachur regularly held visiting meetings of members of the board of trustees (read: the main sponsors of the Moscow RUOP) in one of the best and most expensive Moscow fish restaurants, Sirena-1. “Wallet” Rushailo generously fed and watered in this fashionable establishment such wealthy people as Berezovsky, Khodorkovsky, Nevzlin, Potanin and, of course, Smolensky, and no less generously he paid their restaurant bills from the funds allocated by the eaters themselves for “social protection of high-risk professional groups.” However, future oligarchs could also rightfully be classified as a “risk group.” What specific “issues of charity” were resolved by candlelight and under a balyk, history is silent. But the fact that Rushailo himself was often present at these meetings is an indisputable fact. This is how Vladimir Borisovich became acquainted with the whole “seven bankers”.

Thus, over three and a half years (June 1993 - January 1, 1997), the fund's turnover, according to official accounting reports alone, amounted to 16 billion 400 million old rubles and 1 million 800 thousand dollars.

For example, the Russian Credit Bank transferred 3 billion 350 million rubles to the fund’s accounts over three years. Alfa Bank donated almost one and a half billion in two years. Further details: Elexbank - 840 million, Promradtekhbank - 715 million, Russian Food Bank - 243 million. In total, there are almost seventy philanthropically minded banks, firms and even individuals, such as notary Tulina G.P., who donated 45 million, according to the fund’s securities.

And the head of the Moscow RUOP could not have known that by that time the Investigative Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation had been conducting a criminal case against the main initiator and organizer of the RUOP fund, Alexander Smolensky, for several years for the theft of $32 million.

Criminal case No. 81 684 (14 238) against gentlemen bankers Nakhmanovich L.A. and Smolensky A.P. was initiated on October 28, 1992 by the economic crimes department of the 6th district police department of the Central Administrative District of Moscow. And only on January 14, 1999, at the direction of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, Nakhmanovich’s case No. 144 103 was separated into separate proceedings, due to the fact that one of the main defendants - banker Smolensky - evaded interrogations for a long time, and then completely left for an indefinite period of time in Austria for treatment, it was finally investigated and brought to court in early March of the same year. Although these two things are almost like twin brothers.

From the indictment in case No. 144 103 about the theft of 32 million dollars: “To commit the theft, Nakhmanovich and Smolensky used their own official position as heads of large commercial banks... Thus, Nakhmanovich, using the position of the head of the Dzhambyl commercial bank, instructed his subordinate employees to produce a false credit memo R No. 05 355 063 and fictitious order No. 224 dated May 11, 1992 in the amount of 3 billion 838 million 400 thousand 400 rubles. Smolensky, using his position as the head of JSCB Stolichny, facilitated the smooth acceptance of fictitious order No. 224, ensured the delivery of a fake advice note to the RCC, whose employees credited 3 billion 838 million 400 thousand 400 rubles to the correspondent account of JSCB Stolichny. Having thus received a real opportunity to dispose of the stolen funds, Nakhmanovich and Smolensky, using fictitious bank documents prepared in advance by them, converted rubles into US dollars and disposed of them at their own discretion...”

And during one of the first interrogations on December 27, 1992, Lev Nakhmanovich colorfully described how the primitive banking scam was carried out:

“On April 23, 1992, when Smolensky and I signed an agreement on opening correspondent accounts, he responded with an offer to “make” money through a fake advice note, literally: “Let’s invent bullshit.” I replied that I would think about it... Thinking over this proposal, I also remembered that Smolensky said: “With the current mess, this air will not get even,” that is, the Central Bank will not establish the source of its origin... In the end, I agreed to this proposal... Then we met with Smolensky in his office, discussed this “option”... He promised me, even guaranteed to withdraw this advice note after posting it from the cash settlement center of the Central Bank of Russia. Literally he said: “I have a boy who will do this in the best possible way...”.

Then Nakhmanovich hid from investigations abroad for several years. And Smolensky and his lawyers in Moscow made maximum use of all behind-the-scenes mechanisms to hush up the case, flush it down, down the toilet, wherever. But in September 1997, Nakhmanovich (already the owner of a villa in Italy and a lover of a quiet European life) was detained by Swiss police, and in April 1998 he was extradited to Russia.

The “boy” promised by Smolensky never did “everything in the best possible way.” Documents incriminating the bankers ended up in a criminal case.

Discouraged, Nakhmanovich began to declare during interrogations (as advised by Smolensky’s lawyers) that the Russian and Kazakh governments had allegedly long ago resolved the issue of recognizing Kazakhstan’s debt to Russia, including in this way his “air” 3.8 billion rubles were forgiven. And therefore, his criminal case is not worth a damn. However, in the case materials there was a letter from the Deputy Director of the Legal Department of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation B. Kostyukhin: “The Main Center for Informatization of the Bank of Russia does not have information about negotiations with the Kazakh side on the issue of recognition of the debt of the Republic of Kazakhstan arising as a result of an illegal financial transaction by the Dzhambyl Commercial Bank...”, which disavowed all Leva’s attempts to evade responsibility.

Imagine a bank transfer form for the amount of 38 million 400 thousand 400 rubles: “38 400 400”. Nakhmanovich acted decisively and simply. He ordered his employee in Dzhambul to type two more digits 38 on a typewriter before the numbers “38 400 400”. It turned out “38 38 400 400” - that is, 3.8 billion rubles...

The fact of forgery of the advice note was confirmed by a technical and forensic examination back in November 1992. At the same time, operatives also seized from the Dzhambyl bank a “Robotron” typewriter, on which “air” billions were printed.

This is how fortunes were made in Russia. Air billions left the Dzhambyl Bank in Kazakhstan, and real Russian money came from the RCC to the DKB correspondent account in the Stolichny Bank.

Then Smolensky and Nakhmanovich came up with nothing better than to transfer 25 million dollars to the Austrian bank ABN-AMRO into the account of the company GS Finanz und Fermegensferwaltung, which belonged to Smolensky’s wife Galina, and the manager of this account was actually Alexander Pavlovich himself. And on orders to transfer money from ABN-AMRO to other Western banks, the careless oligarch made notes with his own hand about who exactly and in what amount to send the money...

In short, the elements of the crime were evident back in 1992. Perhaps that is why in 1998, SBS-Agro Bank suddenly admitted that six years ago it had mistakenly “borrowed” 3 billion 838 million rubles from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation using an “air” advice note and compensated for the damage by transferring 28.5 million (denominated) rubles to the state . True, this joyful event happened exactly four days after the fugitive Lev Nakhmanovich was transferred from Switzerland to Russia. And it’s difficult to call it full compensation for damage, since $32 million was stolen at those prices, but only about $4 million was returned at today’s prices.

Tell me, could the small police chief Rushailo have been unaware of these tricks of his main sponsor Smolensky for three and a half years? Surely he knew, but he calmly accepted charitable contributions from the banker to the Ruopov Foundation, dined with him at the Sirena-1 restaurant, placed the funds of the fund in the Stolichny Bank... And did Alexander Pavlovich really never ask Vladimir Borisovich to “resolve his issue” in exchange for a generous solution to “charity issues”?

And then the following happened. From working in the mode of accumulating materials in the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation and the Investigative Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation during Primakov's premiership, they finally began to decisively implement them. And the newspapers exploded with sensational reports about the false advice notes of the banker Smolensky, about the Aeroflot case, about the arrest of one of the founders of ONEXIM Bank. Many of our billionaires, whose names in recent years have appeared on the pages of Forbes magazine in the lists of the richest people on the planet, really face a bleak judicial prospect.

But Primakov’s “cap” turned out to be less durable than public opinion would have liked. After the sudden resignation of Primus, the high-profile cases of the oligarchs for some reason began to slow down again, fall apart in the courts, and those arrested began to be released on bail.

This rollback process was accompanied by an unprecedented personnel storm in the law enforcement agencies. Stepashin and Rushailo were called upon to extinguish the fire of unprecedented operational and investigative activity in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Honest and principled investigators remained out of work, while those who were corrupt or simply indifferent were promoted. And all the “castlings” were planned in the Kremlin and with only one goal - to strangle the investigation into high-profile cases of “family wallets”.

And especially the Kremlin inhabitants had to work hard when putting the brakes on the criminal case about fraud with a false advice note from Alexander Smolensky.

In April 1999, without any explanation, by order of President B. N. Yeltsin, the head of the Investigative Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Igor Kozhevnikov, was dismissed. Smolensky’s people could not “come to an agreement” with this general. On April 5, in the afternoon, Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Mikhail Katyshev gives permission for the arrest of Mr. Smolensky A.P., and in the evening, in violation of all conceivable legal norms, this is reported on television. Smolensky has been helpfully warned. Only 4-5 people from among the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General's Office knew that a sanction for his arrest had been signed. Among them were the then Minister of Internal Affairs S. Stepashin and his first deputy Vladimir Rushailo. On the same day, Prosecutor General Yuri Skuratov is forced to write a statement of “voluntary” resignation. On April 7, Deputy Prosecutor General M. Katyshev, who approved the indictment in the Nakhmanovich-Smolensky case, as well as in the Aeroflot case, was removed from supervising the Main Investigation Department of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation. Then “their people” in the Ministry of Internal Affairs instruct investigator Vladimir Vdovin to take over Smolensky’s criminal case. This investigator is known for the fact that since 1992, since the initiation of this case No. 81,684 (14,238), he heroically portrayed a feat of labor and delayed the investigation. Now the case has been returned to him. Apparently, for further delay. On April 20, Vladimir Vdovin began to meet expectations. He cancels the sanctions signed by Katyshev for the arrest and international search for the banker Smolensky.

And the alarmed oligarchs did not calm down. The deputy head of the Investigative Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General of Justice Vladimir Alferov, was offered to take the post of head of the investigative unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. The main condition for this promotion was clear: to hush up Smolensky’s criminal case. But Alferov refused the new appointment and was sent into retirement. And the head of the investigative unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Major General of Justice Leonid Titarov, was offered an equivalent position, but in the North Caucasus and not related to the supervision of the investigation in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Titarov refused an honorary exile to the Caucasus and left the ministry.

May 10, 1998. On this day, as a familiar border guard from Sheremetyevo-2 told us, according to the “search” order, the banker Smolensky, who had finally flown to Moscow from Austria, was detained. Three hours later he had to be released, since the arrest warrant, as it turned out, had been canceled.

As a result of such a massive personnel “purge” of not only the Investigative Committee, but also the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs, the post of Minister of Internal Affairs was taken by the recently disgraced Rushailo.

And where are the materials of criminal cases now gathering dust, in which almost all the oligarchs appear, with whom Vladimir Borisovich once loved to have dinner at the Sirena-1 restaurant? In the farthest and darkest corners of the CK archives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation. If even their copies are not completely destroyed.

And one more nuance. Knowledgeable people told us that one of the members of the operational investigation team was offered $2 million for the collapse of the Smolensky case. Imagine, 5 minutes of shame, complete contempt of your colleagues, but the rest of your life is in flowers and stripes. But formally, legally, it costs nothing to collapse or delay any criminal case; every professional opera knows this ABC, which is what was done.

In February 2000, after serving almost two years in a pre-trial detention center, Leva Nakhmanovich was released. The maximum period of his pre-trial detention has expired. On his own recognizance, of course, which did not stop him from immediately leaving for his historical homeland in Kazakhstan, where Nakhmanovich had long been awaited with open arms. And without the participation of the Dzhambyl banker in the trial, the whole matter of “air” billions makes no sense. In our country only spies are sentenced to death in absentia. Starting from mid-1999, the CK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not take any operational investigative actions regarding Smolensky and Nakhmanovich, and did not send any protests regarding the delay in the trial of Nakhmanovich. In a word, a classic descent on the brakes happened. Minister Rushailo, naturally, was obliged to make a strong-willed decision and bring this criminal case to a guilty verdict, but this, for obvious reasons, did not happen.

Operational information

Rushailo Vladimir Borisovich was born in 1953. He has been working in the internal affairs bodies since 1972. Since 1986, he worked in the department of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department, which dealt with manifestations of organized crime. For some time he controlled the activities of the Moscow system of currency stores “Berezka”.

Since March 3, 1992 - head of the Regional Directorate for Combating Organized Crime, created on the same day. In 1993, Rushailo sought to reassign RUOP to the First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs (RUOP began to work at the all-Russian level). Since February 1993 - Head of the Regional Department for Organized Crime (RUOP) of the Moscow Main Internal Affairs Directorate.

In 1994, a month before his death, criminal authority Otari Kvantrishvili said on the Moscow TV channel: “Let Rushailo think about his children.”

On March 3, 1995, after the murder of ORTV General Director Vladislav Listyev, on the orders of V. Rushailo, a search was carried out in the office of the head of LogoVAZ JSC, Boris Berezovsky.

In October 1996, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Anatoly Kulikov, signed an order transferring V. Rushailo to the position of first deputy head of the Main Directorate for Organized Crime (GUOGT) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (according to some reports, Rushailo was asked to oversee units for combating organized crime in the Far Eastern region) . On October 18, an order was signed to appoint V. Rushailo to this position.

On October 22, 1996, V. Rushailo gave an extraordinary press conference. According to him, he did not “have a good relationship” with the First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Valery Petrov, whom Rushailo called a dishonest person who behaves dishonestly. Rushailo said that Petrov, “due to his incompetence, deceived me, the minister and the mayor.” In this regard, Rushailo stated that he “doesn’t want to work with Petrov and won’t.” He also called Petrov a destroyer of the system of fighting organized crime.

Before the press conference, the former head of RUOP met with the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation A. Kulikov, to whom he handed over his report with a request to return his previous position. A. Kulikov rejected his request and stated that if Rushailo held a press conference, he would be dismissed from the ranks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. On the same day (10/22/1996), the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs announced the dismissal of Rushailo.

About his attitude towards Alexander Lebed he said: “...I respect Lebed as a general and a person, although I met him three times in my life.” He also stated his attitude towards Alexander Korzhakov: “...No matter what happens, this man showed that he is a real man” (according to some reports, Rushailo supplied joint measures to ensure the security of the president and provided a car escort for Korzhakov’s trip to Tula).

On December 9, 1996, he began his official duties as an adviser to the Chairman of the Federation Council, Yegor Stroev.

During his work as head of the RUOP of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of Moscow, Rushailo V.B. acquired business connections in commercial structures, offering the latter a wide range of services to choose from on a mutually beneficial basis (operational information, physical cover, elimination of competitors, etc.). One of the first to appreciate the joint cooperation with V.B. Rushailo. Smolensky A.P. (Bank "Stolichny"), which opened accounts in its bank for RUOP employees. Tarakanov A.B. also agreed to cooperate. (“Soyuzkontrakt”). They provided free lunches to RUOP employees and others. This cooperation allowed some former RUOP managers and people close to them to illegally enrich themselves in a short time (purchase of expensive cars, purchase of apartments, country houses, foreign currency accounts, etc.).

After his dismissal from RUOP Rushailo V.B. continued to maintain contacts with RUOP employees who were devoted to him both in work and in commercial activities. These include both already dismissed and still active employees of the Moscow RUOP: Kapur A.M., Orlov A., Khotyushenko O.M., Suntsov M.V., Sedov V.V. and etc.

Serious violations in the activities of the RUOP of the Moscow City Internal Affairs Directorate were revealed during a recent inspection carried out by specialists from the Control and Audit Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. Based on the results of the inspection, facts were revealed: for example, in August 1993, in violation of the law, according to a letter from the head of the RUOP of the Moscow Main Internal Affairs Directorate, Rushailo V.B. Current and foreign currency accounts were opened for RUOP employees at Stolichny Bank. From 1993 to November 1997, RUOP received sponsorship from various organizations in the form of money and material assets in an amount exceeding 14.6 billion rubles. In fact, RUOP did not keep records of incoming funds. RUOP employees are not in order with state payments either. taxes. Thus, RUOP employees received 6.7 billion rubles in the form of material assistance and incentives, but no tax was withheld from these amounts and the total debt of RUOP to the state amounted to 500 million rubles. Shortcomings in the procedure for acquiring, registering and storing service weapons were revealed. At one time, RUOP employees purchased guns at the Kolchuga store, but when registering them they violated the Law on Weapons, which led to the disappearance of 14 guns without a trace. Other shortcomings and omissions were also revealed. The KRU proposed closing RUOP's accounts in a commercial bank, as well as severely punishing those responsible for financial outrages in one of the main police departments of the Moscow Main Internal Affairs Directorate. Although this will be problematic, since the persons involved in these violations, including V.B. Rushailo, have already changed jobs or been dismissed from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.”

Southern "buckspost" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Alas, the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has long turned the Krasnodar region into its feeding trough. (Perhaps it was precisely this circumstance that made possible the bloody tragedy in the Kuban village of Kushchevskaya, which occurred in the fall of 2010.)

The RUOP created by Rushailo recruited (more precisely, sent) employees from various law enforcement agencies according to the principle “take it, God, it’s no good for me.” Because of this, gloomy rumors soon began to spread about the methods of work of the Ruopovites. They talked about the sadistic beatings of those under investigation, about involvement in contract killings. A saying has appeared: “The only cooler ones in Solntsevo are the Shabolov ones” (the central office of the RUOP is located on Shabolovka). The corrupt authorities turned a blind eye to the “pranks” of Ruop’s “bulls”, because they saw (or wanted to see) in them an alternative to the hated KGB - the FSK.

Rushailo was also changing before our eyes. The sight of this modest opera with protruding ears no longer caused laughter. And the suit (costing several thousand dollars) made him look like a successful businessman. Rushailo finally took root in his “coolness” when Otarik Kvantrishvili was shot, shortly before his death he dared to publicly threaten the head of the RUOP.

Over time, Rushailo’s department “covered” the entire territory of the country, organizing interregional departments: Central, Northwestern, Southern, etc. “On the ground” quickly adopted the practice of their capital colleagues. A familiar arsenal of means: the same dubious methods of fighting crime, the same unobtrusive offer of their services as a “roof.”

Southern RUOP was no exception. The territory under his control is wide - from the Black Sea oil terminals to Ossetian underground distilleries. The history of his “achievements” is equally extensive. Let's focus on just one episode for now.

...On January 30, 1999, two headless corpses were caught from the Ponura River near the Osechka farm. Severed heads were found nearby on the shore, with their skulls fractured and teeth knocked out. Based on the moles, they were able to determine that police major Gennady Dolgopolov and his relative suffered martyrdom here. The late major was a secret informant for state security agencies. Shortly before his death, Dolgopolov compiled another report, in which he described in sufficient detail how police structures and crime bosses “divided” among themselves profitable enterprises in several districts of the Krasnodar Territory.

Compromising evidence. RU has a copy of this report:

“The Seversky district is controlled by two corrupt police-criminal groups. The village of Severskaya and the village of Chernomorsky are controlled by the ROVD and the deputy head of the corruption department of the Southern RUOP Boychenko. Vodka bottling factories are located here.

The North-Eastern region is controlled by the head of the Athens POM. The deputy head of the 3rd department of the Southern RUOP, P.S., controls and provides cover for criminal activities. Scull. Under the Athens POM are: Greek, Adyghe and Armenian criminal groups, as well as members of the All-Kuban Cossack Army, performing menial work. Main interest: vodka production, sale of vodka, control over retail outlets and small entrepreneurs.”

At the end of his report, Dolgopolov reports that the mentioned RUOP officer Cherep in a short time was able to purchase an apartment in the center of Krasnodar, a mansion on Bryanskaya Street and several cars...

Alas, Dolgopolov unwittingly interfered in the affairs of the senior management of the Southern RUOP. He came almost close to the scandalous story associated with the theft of 300 tons of alcohol from the warehouses of the Seversky food processing plant, in which the head of the Southern RUOP himself, Major General V.I., was involved. Kucherov.

The outline of previous events was as follows. OJSC Russian Insulin, located in Maykop, uses a large amount of “extra” class medical alcohol to produce insulin. In 1995, the Ministry of Health allocated several hundred tons of such alcohol to the enterprise. The plant handed over the tanks for safekeeping to the Seversky food processing plant, where there were all conditions for their storage and protection.

In October 1996, an inventory was taken at the plant, which revealed a “shortage” of 300 tons of alcohol worth one and a half million dollars. The director of the plant, V. Kushnir, and his deputy, V. Dzybov, could not explain how and where the “fire water” disappeared: past armed guards, without registration in the railway freight service, unnoticed by others.

The investigation into this case was entrusted to... the head of the department for combating economic crimes of the Southern RUOP, police lieutenant colonel Boychenko.

The details of this crime became known from intelligence reports to the Internal Security Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

“The head of the Seversky checkpoint allocated V.I. Kucherov to the head of the Southern RUOP. for the production of alcoholic products 80 tons of alcohol (worth 1 billion 600 million rubles). Entrepreneur V.V. Melkonyan exported 60 tons of alcohol using forged documents. from Sochi. Having learned about the theft of part of the alcohol, the head of Insulin, Anistratenko N.Yu. filed a lawsuit through the courts and, together with bailiffs, arrived at this enterprise, where they were stopped by YURUBOP employees who refused to let them into the territory of the Seversky food processing plant. Subsequently, Kucherov V.I. through his deputy Verkhovinsky A.Yu. and heads of departments of Skull P.S. and Boychenko I.A. assisted V. Dzybov in removing the remaining alcohol in the amount of 200 tons from the station. Severskaya. At the same time, Anistratenko was told that the alcohol had been stolen and it was useless to look for it.”

To cool down Anistratenko’s righteous anger, Kucherov’s people used their “tested technique” - they found weapons in his house. Now the director of Russian Insulin is in prison. The conditions for his release included writing off the stolen alcohol and paying half a million dollars in “compensation.”

Now let's quote a certificate from the special services regarding our main person involved:

“Head of the Southern Regional Directorate for Combating Organized Crime under the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation V.I. Kucherov. maintains connections with a number of leaders of criminal structures in Adygea and the Krasnodar Territory, Basta Gisoy (nickname “Voloskevich”), Turkav Shch.D. (nickname “Head”), Bogus A.A. (nickname “Mazai”), Sheudzhen A.

According to available reliable data, in 1994, Sheudzhen purchased 3 apartments in Krasnodar and 2 foreign-made cars, allegedly for V.I. Kucherov.”

And here is the main episode, perhaps indicating an informal and pleasant relationship between the heads of the Southern RUOP and Minister Rushailo:

“In 1998, Usoyan Kh. (thief in law nicknamed “Grandfather Hasan”, resident of Moscow), through one of the crime bosses nicknamed “Armen Kanevsky” (thief in law, Usoyan’s representative in the Krasnodar Territory), transferred a large sum of money to K. to cover up the latter's criminal activities. From the funds received, K. transferred 200 thousand US dollars to one of the deputy ministers of internal affairs.”

The stated facts of corruption among the top management of the RUBOP of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation are based on intelligence reports, which, as we know, are not sufficient to make a judicial decision. However, we have no reason to doubt their reliability. These data are confirmed both in personal conversations with a number of intelligence officers and indirect information.

Orlov, who fell heads...

There is such a profession - to corrupt the Motherland. This work is not taught anywhere. It simply attracts people with twisted psyches and twisted concepts about the nature of human communication. One of the former assistants of Vladimir Rushailo, first as Minister of Internal Affairs, and later as chief of the Security Council, Alexander Leonidovich Orlov was distinguished by his special skill in this field. Conservative estimates put his personal fortune at over $100 million. It is naive to assume that Vladimir Rushailo knew nothing about the criminal affairs of his trusted subordinate.

Orlov was born on August 10, 1955. He graduated from the Moscow Machine Tool Institute, but did not become a machine tool builder, but instead began his career in the internal affairs bodies in 1978. He worked in the BHSS of the Kuntsevo district, and from 1989 - in the department for combating group and organized crime of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department. In 1993, he worked at the Moscow RUOP as an assistant to Rushailo. What connected these people? Probably, at that time it was just mutual sympathy, it often happens - the boss singles out one of his employees and brings him closer to him. This is called a team member. In this case, a police team tied up in common dubious affairs.

The only problem is that often diligent performers like Orlov drown first and drag their boss along with them, unless he starts cutting loose ends in time.

In December 1996, Rushailo, through the efforts of Kulikov, was forced to leave the RUBOP for the Federation Council as an adviser to Yegor Stroev on legal issues. The position is not so great, but still not a house manager. Several criminal cases were initiated against the RUBOP - an operational check was carried out on Vladimir Rushailo himself - they looked for his accounts abroad, real estate, and were interested in connections with organized crime. They also looked into Orlov; he was checked on the fact of the privatization of two safe houses. This is also an interesting question - where do operatives meet with informants? The turnouts are not failed, they are simply sold out.

But, according to various sources, Orlov begged his enemies not to bring matters to the required condition. And the case was closed. Why? For cooperation with the investigation?

Throughout 1997, Orlov hung around without much to do. He created the charity foundation “Ecology and Health-2000”. He became a leading specialist at SBS-Agro Bank. However, after the appointment of Rushailo as Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs in 1998, Orlov was again reinstated in the authorities and became an assistant to the deputy minister. And as soon as Rushailo rose to the rank of minister, Orlov rose higher - in less than a year and a half he rose from lieutenant colonel to lieutenant general. To assign this title, Orlov was specially given a position - advisor to the minister of the secretariat of the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Everyone who had even a semblance of their own opinion was thrown out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Most of the heads of main boards and departments. Their places were taken mainly by Orlov’s henchmen. Most likely, at some point Orlov realized that the new position provided a lot of opportunities. And Boris Berezovsky, who was popular at that time, showed by his example how to do things. The main driver on the political scene was proximity to the big boss. And Orlov, with truly Chinese foresight, began to create conditions under which recent events, such as his dismissal, would no longer be repeated.

Although, most likely, he acted primarily for the peace of mind of Rushailo, dismissing some and putting others in their places. In the process of these preventive actions, Orlov discovered that a huge Country of Fools now stretches before him, through which herds of fat cows roam and thousands of sources of income emerge from the soil. In principle, he was like that young traffic cop from the joke who was given a striped stick and then sincerely wondered why he was also paid a salary. Only for Orlov it was not a striped stick, but a huge club the size of the Ministry of Internal Affairs building. And for two years the minister’s adviser mastered the use of this club.

The Prosecutor General's Office has accumulated a large amount of material about Alexander Orlov's connections with large businessmen. At Orlov’s instigation, the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to make money from conflicts between creditors and debtors. This practice began in the Moscow RUBOP: at the request of one side, debts were extorted from the other. It cost about 50 percent of the debt. The mechanism for extorting debts is interesting: they took a statement from creditors that it was as if money was being extorted from them, and then they came to the debtors with this statement. Later, the methods developed in RUBOP were refined at the federal level. Many prominent businessmen were supplied with secret information from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, without knowing that their “orders” were carried out by the police “outdoor surveillance” (Operational Search Directorate), Directorate “R” (radio control), the Investigative Committee and other services.

There was even a certain list of services that the ministry performed. Such as: resolving controversial issues, using the activities of controlled public funds, suppressing competitors, the already mentioned assistance in repaying debts, guaranteeing loans and investments. Work with special coupons was also established. A special license, as you know, makes the car owner untouchable by the traffic police - he is allowed liberties that are not available to others. Such beauty costs from 5 to 10 thousand dollars apiece.

But that's how it is, turnover. Orlov simply brought together offenses in the authorities and got some kind of police business.

However, any business is tested by large stocks. Such actions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs include “Cyclone” - the Berezovsky operation at AvtoVAZ in Tolyatti, the “cleaning up” of the St. Petersburg Shipping Company, when the forces of the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs ousted the former “controllers” from the port, and their place was taken by structures controlled by St. Petersburg authorities (Konstantin Yakovlev, nicknamed “Kostya Mogila”, Mikhail Mirilashvili, etc.). A similar action was carried out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the city of Primorsk (Vyborg district of the Leningrad region) to eliminate possible contenders for the construction of an oil port. On the side of Berezovsky and Abramovich, the heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs participated in the redistribution of spheres of influence in the aluminum business. The leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs made every effort to extinguish the scandal around the Slavneft company and appoint Mikhail Gutseriev there. For such operations in the oil business, Alexander Orlov established good personal relations with Viktor Kalyuzhny, who at that time was the Minister of Fuel and Energy. All these actions helped not only expand, but also deepen the business. Terminals became a new step.

The heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs showed special concern for the security of customs terminals. Among ordinary employees of the Moscow and regional departments for combating economic crimes, these terminals were called “untouchables.” As soon as traces of crimes led UBEP officers to the terminals, they were shown a list of high officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, headed by assistant Orlov, whom “terminal operators” should call in case of “misunderstandings” with employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In just a few years, the “black profit” of these “under-the-cover” terminals amounted to about sixty million dollars. Among them are the Grit terminal (Lyuberetsky district), the Stupino terminal, as well as the Moscow ones - Matveevsky Terminal Service, Ryabinovy ​​Terminal Service. FSB officers have repeatedly reported on other terminals that are under the high patronage of the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Sometimes operatives, contrary to unspoken instructions, still checked the “untouchable” terminals. So, in July 1999, UBEP officers from the Moscow region checked the Comfortgorg temporary storage warehouse, located in Domodedovo, but assigned to the Podolsk district of the Moscow region.

Employees of the regional UBEP discovered 120 trucks of contraband!

Contraband was also found on two trains. Smuggled goods include chicken legs, household appliances, and beer disguised as mineral water. Another 400 trucks were stopped on the Ring Road and were heading to Comforttorg.

During the investigation, investigators uncovered about a hundred facts of serious crimes.

But the proposal to initiate criminal cases was not accepted by the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs; on the contrary, a few days later the Ministry of Internal Affairs, by order, took away all the materials from the regional Central Internal Affairs Directorate, allegedly for transfer to the Customs Committee.

Alexander Orlov's fortune, according to the most conservative estimates, was about $100 million. But he once earned money as a private driver for a living...

In the end, he even created his own companies (through dummies, of course). One of them, Nordauto, mediated the sale of consumer goods. The other - "STATUS" - traded securities.

An office called “System” was engaged in installing security alarms.

Do you know what, in fact, the minister’s adviser Alexander Orlov should have been doing instead of all this? His responsibilities:

Systematization and analysis of information on the state of the crime situation in the country;

Studying the activities of services on certain problems and territories;

Issues of interaction between the minister and the media, preparation of the minister’s speeches.

One of Orlov’s most high-profile cases (although at that time his name did not appear in that story) was the struggle between customs and the Three Whales shopping complex. You probably remember this strange story when the customs SOBR seized a furniture center. Luxurious carved imported furniture - sets worth more than a foreign car - were thrown like firewood into trucks. Mirrors were thrown one on top of another with a clang, and polished walls were laid in stacks. And in the evening there was a message on ORT: employees of the State Customs Committee had closed a large smuggling channel. The criminals sent the stolen funds to Chechen militants.

It was Orlov who was the direct driving force behind this entire action. Customs officers were simply used as brutal labor.

General Director Zuev explained simply - they were given a price. The price for existence. And the price was not childish: three million dollars.

Negotiations on behalf of Orlov were conducted by one of the leaders of the regional police department.

Orlov’s most terrible business can be considered working with hostage ransoms. Orlov met Berezovsky a long time ago, during his service in the RUOP. Berezovsky was just beginning his stellar ascent.

Ransoming hostages is what united and bound these people.

It is known, for example, that $6 million was allocated for the ransom of Presidential Envoy Vlasov in 1999. Of these, the Chechen “sellers” received only four, and even then half a million turned out to be fake.

And the release of Vincent Koiggel, an employee of the UN Commissariat for Refugees, kidnapped in Vladikavkaz in January 1999, also took place on a “mutual” basis. It was Orlov who brought money to the Caucasus, for which he was later awarded the Order of Courage.
