Zadorina, at first, at the behest of her parents, prepared for a diplomatic career: in 2011 she graduated from the MGIMO master's program with a degree in foreign policy and diplomacy in Russia. But, having received a diploma, she immediately put up a collection of clothes "Moscow - Tel Aviv" for the competition of the "Russian Silhouette" fund of Tatyana Mikhalkova. Since that time, she has become a regular participant in fashion shows. Her Zadorina Group LLC sold evening dresses in the Crocus City Mall and the Vesna store on the Arbat. The company's revenue in 2012 amounted to 7.8 million rubles. with a loss of 18,000 rubles, a year later - 12 million rubles. with a net profit of 687,000 rubles, but in 2014 the company was liquidated.
production sportswear Zadorina got involved in 2012. Her Equipsport LLC received orders for sewing uniforms from SK Dynamo and one of the founders of the club, the FSB-controlled regional society Dynamo 24, as well as beach and regular volleyball teams. Transneft, Vnukovo Airport, Rus-Oil, etc. ordered uniforms and overalls from Equipsport. Many customers and sponsors of fashion companies were business partners of the Shekin family in larger projects. So, the most famous design action of Zadorina is the release of T-shirts with patriotic inscriptions like “Sanctions? Don’t make my Iskanders laugh” or “Poplar is not afraid of sanctions”, among others, was sponsored by a certain Baikal Concern PJSC. He had a chance to become the largest project of the Shekin family.
supply chief
Colonel-General of the FSB Mikhail Shekin was appointed head of the 7th FSB service (operation support service) in 2007. Three departments are subordinate to him - financial, economic, logistics (UMTO) and capital construction. The Shekina service buys almost everything for the FSB - from apartments, cars and boats to clothes, it also owns medical institutions departments. The service even has its own customs warehouses for temporary storage. It was because of the importation of contraband to the customs warehouse of military unit 54729 that Shekin's predecessor, FSB Colonel General Sergei Shishin, lost his post. In 2005, this warehouse received more than 100 wagons with Chinese consumer goods, paid from the accounts of the UMTO FSB, Kommersant wrote. According to the publication, the Cherkizovsky market was the final destination of the cargo. The scandal led to the resignation of a dozen high-ranking security officials, and Shishin had to move to VTB as a senior vice president. A little later, Shekin became president of the Dynamo volleyball sports club. The founders of the club are the regional organization "Dynamo-24" (FSB of Russia), the Moscow society "Dynamo", the National Charitable Foundation, the sports club "Rosneft" and the development fund "Dynamo". The president of the All-Russian Volleyball Federation (VVF) since 2004 was Shekin's immediate superior, the then director of the FSB, General of the Army Nikolai Patrushev.
« Gazprom» did not live up to expectations
“I am not my own enemy, no comment. The project did not take place, we will end here, ”a person who was involved in the creation of Baikal, which united the children of high-ranking security officials and businessmen who worked with Gazprom contracts, told Vedomosti.
The company was established in December 2014. Zadorina received a 30% stake in it and headed the board of directors. Olga Zolotova had the same number. Who she is - Vedomosti failed to find out. But at the same time, the son of the former head of the Security Service of the President of Russia, and now the head of the National Guard, Viktor Zolotov, Roman, entered the board of directors of Baikal.
Spouses Victoria and Dmitry Makarov received another 10% of the company. Makarova is a long-time partner of Zadorina, until February 2017 they owned on parity terms 90% of the Za Group company, which produced clothes designed by Zadorina.
The remaining 30% of Baikal's shares belonged to Irkutsk businessmen Evgeny Evstigneev, Sergei Rassokhin and Yana Bogomolova.
The only asset of Baikal was a 90% stake in Stroygazservis (SGS), created in 2009 by Alexei Snegirev, the former head of procurement and logistics at Stroygazmontazh (SGM) Arkady Rotenberg. The first company was a subcontractor of the second, one of the largest general contractors of Gazprom.
SGS supplied components to almost all major gas pipeline construction projects: the North European Gas Pipeline (Gryazovets-Vyborg section), Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok, South Stream, Bovanenkovo, and so on. Until 2014, the company did not disclose its revenue, so it is difficult to assess how successful Snegirev's business turned out to be.
Baikal got SGS through Evstigneev, who in 2014 bought it from the founder, and then transferred it to a new company.
In 2015, SGS decided to switch from subcontractors to Gazprom's contractors. He applied for three competitions of Gazprom dobycha Noyabrsk LLC with a maximum price of 9.4 billion rubles. But it was not possible to get contracts. Two competitions for 4 billion rubles. won "Stroytransneftegaz" Gennady Timchenko, and a contract for 4.9 billion rubles. went to the Sakhalin company "Vostok morneftegaz" Leonid Li.
After that, the SGS began to rapidly lose the market - in 2015, its revenue fell 40 times to 8 million rubles, and the loss grew to 25 million rubles. In the summer of 2015, Baikal sold a 90% stake in SGS. A little later, Zolotova sold her stake in Baikal.
Volleyball development
In the second half of the 2010s, the stormy activity of Ivan Tikhomirov, the same age and namesake of Yulia Tikhomirova, began. At 23, he became a co-founder and CEO of a dozen companies involved in the development projects of the Dynamo volleyball. Two acquaintances of the Shekin family say that at that time he was the husband of Tikhomirova, who was engaged in development projects in the family. In 2007, she established her own company, Msk Stroy, which was supposed to prepare construction sites.
Tikhomirov's main partners were 47-year-old counterintelligence officer, FSB colonel and former general director of SK Dynamo Vyacheslav Rotavchikov and member of the board of directors of Transmashholding Evgeny Smirnov (for more details, see inset).
Volleyball and locomotives
Little is known about one of the main business partners of Zadorina and Tikhomirova, 79-year-old Evgeny Smirnov (pictured). The first time his name was mentioned in 1997. Then Smirnov worked as the general director of the Transsnab company, established by Zheldorbank, Roszheldorsnab of the Ministry of Railways and Transrail Holding, close to the then head of the Ministry of Railways Nikolai Aksenenko. Transsnab mediated the supply of rails and other equipment for the superstructure of the tracks under contracts with the Ministry of Railways. In 2002, Smirnov became an adviser to the president of Evrazholding (now Evraz) Alexander Abramov. At that time it was the only rail manufacturer in Russia. In 2005, Smirnov participated in a deal with the shares of Transmashholding, the largest Russian manufacturer of locomotives and passenger cars. Judging by the company's statements, in 2005 10% of its shares went to Volley Sport-Service LLC. The company was founded by the former player of SC "Dynamo" Alexander Yaremenko and former players of the club "Luch" Stanislav Shevchenko and Andrey Sapega. Smirnov was the general director of Volya Sport Service and therefore joined the board of directors of the engineering holding, where he remains to this day. Volley Sport Service itself became the property of Volley Sport JSC, created by Shevchenko and Lada Soshenkova, a minority shareholder of Volleyball South, controlled by Shekin's daughter Yulia Tikhomirova. In 2007, the Dutch The Breakers Investments B.V. became the owner of 100% of Transmashholding. Its main owners were Iskandar Makhmudov, Andrei Bokarev, Maxim Liksutov (now Deputy Mayor of Moscow) and Sergei Glinka. In the same 2007, a 25% stake in the holding for 9.2 billion rubles. acquired Russian Railways, and in 2010 another 25% plus 1 share - the French concern Alstom. In 2005, Smirnov also became a co-founder and chairman of the board of the Institute for Problems of Natural Monopolies (IPEM), whose phone number coincided with the contacts of the TMH trading house (owned by Transmashholding). The main customers of IPEM were Russian Railways and its affiliated structures. According to their state order, the institute assessed the risks and feasibility of increasing the number of freight carriers, predicted changes in passenger traffic and helped with the planning of the Russian Railways investment program to upgrade the rolling stock fleet. Most of these studies were somehow connected with the activities of Transmashholding. In 2016, IPEM's portfolio of government orders amounted to 118.5 million rubles. IPEM is also associated with Zadorina. Since 2010, he has owned 18% in the Institute for Security Problems of the CIS (IPB CIS), the largest beneficiary of which is the general's daughter. In the company "Ecoresurs", which owns the rest of the shares of the institute, 53% belongs to Zadorina, 18.5% - to Smirnov. Vedomosti failed to contact Smirnov.
True, Tikhomirov's business activity faded as unexpectedly as it began. In 2012, he disappeared from all his companies, his shares passed to Shekin's daughters and former partners. Perhaps this is due to the separation of the couple, suggest two familiar families. Just last year, Tikhomirov registered as an individual entrepreneur and opened a car wash in Nekrasovka. Her employee told Vedomosti that Tikhomirov was abroad. The businessman did not answer the questions of Vedomosti sent to him. She did not answer questions about Tikhomirov and Yulia Tikhomirova. What projects did the businessman take part in?
VTB took over the arena
On December 23, 2015, on the capital's Vasilisa Kozhina Street, not far from Victory Park, it was overcrowded. Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev, VTB President Andrey Kostin and his first deputy Vasily Titov, Moscow Vice Mayor Marat Khusnullin and President of SC Dynamo General Shekin came to lay a capsule with a message to posterity in the foundation of the future international volleyball arena for 3,500 seats. The arena, whose construction was solemnly announced by officials, bankers and generals, was a small part of the multifunctional complex (MFC) Match Point, which was to appear on this site. The planned building area is 202,945 sq. m, and the cost is almost 19 billion rubles. The 28-storey buildings will house offices and apartments.
In fact, the complex on the street. Vasilisa Kozhina - long-term construction. The project started in 2008. Then Moscow leased 2.5 hectares of land to SC Dynamo for the construction of an office and sports complex. The customer and investor of the construction were Volley Grand LLC and the interregional sports public organization (MSOO) Sports Initiatives. Tikhomirov became the general director of the first of them, and Rotavchikov, Smirnov and the owner of the National Republican Bank Dzhulustan Borisov became the founders. The second company was founded by Tikhomirov, Smirnov, Borisov, the All-Russian Volleyball Federation (VVF) and several top managers of the Miel group.
The partners jointly invested about 300 million rubles in the project. and attracted a loan from VTB for at least 7.6 billion rubles. And after the crisis and problems with financing, investors quarreled. The structures of Smirnov began to sue the structures of Rotavchikov and Borisov regarding settlements with contractors and investments in construction. Tikhomirov in 2012 chose to withdraw from the project, and a year later the construction was frozen.
In 2014, the MFC construction project was completely transferred to VTB. The representative of the bank did not talk about the project, it was not possible to contact Borisov.
If large-scale construction in Moscow did not work out, then the projects for the construction of hotels and sports complexes in Suzdal, Anapa and Adler were successfully completed by the Tikhomirovs' structures. They were assisted in this by the UMMC of Iskandar Makhmudov and his partners, the Siberian Business Union (SDS), Renova by Viktor Vekselberg, and the Safmar Charitable Foundation by Mikhail Gutseriev - some of them on a gratuitous basis.
So, in the resort village of Vityazevo near Anapa, since 2004, the VFV has been building a sports and educational health center "Volei Grad". The federation itself built only two volleyball courts and a hotel with 64 rooms. In 2009, the federation conceded the lease of the site to Volei Grad, which was co-owned by the structures of Yulia and Ivan Tikhomirov. They built an indoor training hall there, four cottages with an area of 342 sq. m each and a presidential villa of 524 sq. m.
The third phase of the sports complex in 2015–2016 financed "Safmar" Gutseriev. He transferred VFV donations of 100 million rubles. With these funds, it was planned to build two new beach volleyball courts, a tribune for 1,500 seats, and improve the territory of the complex. The Safmar Foundation did not answer Vedomosti's questions about Volley Grad.
Hotel for the FSB
In 2013, an Olympic facility of federal significance was built in Adler - the Sport Inn sports and recreation hotel with 50 rooms and beach volleyball courts. During the Sochi Olympics, the Sport Inn, like several other hotels in Adler, was occupied by the FSB for its own needs.
At that time, Tikhomirov's MSOO Sports Initiatives owned 51% of the Start company that owns the hotel. The rest was with the SDS. But the money for the construction was donated by Renova, its own structure - LLC OSZ - was the customer and developer of the hotel. This follows from the proceedings that accompanied the issuance of a permit for the construction of the hotel - his "Sports Initiatives" was approved in the Central District Court of Sochi retroactively, in 2016. The representative of Renova did not comment on this project.
At the beginning of 2016, Oksana Simonova, a former top manager of Miel and CEO of Msk Stroy, Yulia Tikhomirova, bought 51% of Start from Sports Initiatives. SDS sold 49% of Start LLC to its lawyer Andrey Zelenkov.
In 2016, in Suzdal, on the banks of the Kamenka River, UMMC opened a small hotel "Copper Dvor". As Vedomosti found out, the Tikhomirovs also took part in this project. The hotel was built by Ecoresurs-Invest, a subsidiary of Ecoresurs, established by Anatoly Zhuravlev, ex-director of the National Charitable Fund (formerly the National Military Fund). The fund was created in 1999 at the initiative of President Vladimir Putin to attract donations from the largest Russian companies that built housing for the military, Novaya Gazeta wrote. Tikhomirov bought out 43.5% in Ecoresurs in 2010 and, together with Yulia Tikhomirova, received a half in Ecoresurs-invest. The second 50% of "Ecoresurs-invest" went to UMMC. In 2015, UMMC bought out the share of the Tikhomirovs and remained the sole owner of the hotel.
Ecoresurs bought Zadorin from the Tikhomirovs by 2010. In the same year, this company acquired 82% in CIS Institute for Security Problems LLC (ISB CIS). Zadorina took the position of deputy director in it.
Ex-banker with a hoarder
Businesses have to buy new cash registers ten times more expensive than the cost, RBC reported in early March, citing State Duma deputy Andrei Lugovoi. This happens, according to Lugovoi, because the 8th center of the FSB certified the only sample of the fiscal drive for new cash desks, which is produced only by affiliated companies Atlas-Kart CJSC, Rik LLC and Besant CJSC. Their beneficiary is Vladimir Shcherbakov, RBC quotes Lugovoi. We are talking about the ex-banker Shcherbakov, whose company, together with the Russian Club of Economists Felix Shamkhalov, co-founded the Institute for Security Problems of the CIS, which in 2010 became the property of the youngest daughter of FSB Colonel-General Anastasia Zadorina. Shcherbakov was a co-owner of BVA Bank, which lost its license in 2014. The investigation accused Shcherbakov and top managers of the bank of withdrawing money abroad, believing that with their help, from 2011 to 2014, about 10 billion rubles were transferred abroad under dubious schemes. The schemes were as follows, Kommersant reported: companies close to Shcherbakov and his partners purchased nickel powder and acrylic resin for FSUE Goznak in Singapore, but first they were delivered to the EU countries, from where they were imported to Russia at many times overpriced. Shcherbakov could not be detained.
Safe Mansion
In early December 2016, Deputy Secretary of the Security Council Rashid Nurgaliyev arrived at a small mansion on Prospekt Mira. The purpose of the visit is to participate in a scientific and practical meeting on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the creation of the CIS. The event was entrusted to the IPB CIS.
What is the IPB CIS? The institute has three directors and four employees. They prepare scientific reports and consultations "on a wide range of CIS security issues," according to the institute's website. Among customers scientific research Institute - Vnukovo Airport, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Security Council. According to the Federal Antimonopoly Service, in 2013 the institute performed research work for 4.5 million rubles, in 2014 - for 8.6 million rubles. In 2015, its revenue amounted to 9.5 million rubles, the loss was 252,000 rubles.
The main asset of the institute is the headquarters in a historic mansion built in 1901 on Mira Avenue. In 2006, the institute received a mansion from the Moscow government on preferential lease until 2030. According to the FAS, the rental rate is 1 rub. for 1 sq. m per year, i.e. renting a mansion in Moscow with an area of 878.7 sq. m can cost 878.7 rubles. in year. True, the capital's benefits were issued under the former owners of the IPB of the CIS. In 2006, the institute belonged to the Russian Club of Economists, controlled by the former chairman of the Higher attestation commission Ministry of Education Felix Shamkhalov.
This was not Shamkhalov's only deal with the Shekina family. In 2007, Tikhomirov bought from the Russian Club of Economists a 41% stake in Kosta LLC, which became part of the Shekin family's huge hunting estate in the Yaroslavl region.
Hunting with state bankers
Kosta has 8,400 hectares of hunting grounds on a long-term lease, as indicated on the website of the administration of the Yaroslavl region.
After 2011, Tikhomirov's share in Costa passed to Zadorina. And 25% in the LLC was acquired by the Mouflon company of VTB President Andrey Kostin and his deputy Vasily Titov. Another 16% went to Olga Zaostrovtseva, daughter of the former deputy director of the FSB, Yuri Zaostrovtsev.
In the neighborhood with "Kosta", in the village of Los on the street. Okhotnicheya, 9, there is a huge experimental forest and hunting farm of the Federal Security Service of Russia (109,500 hectares leased until 2061). It went to the structures of Tikhomirova and her partners. The transfer of state property took place in several stages. After corporatization in 2010, PJSC "Los" at the auction for 40 million rubles. bought the "Royal Hunt" of the banker Peter Aven and the owner of NLMK Vladimir Lisin. In 2014, businessmen sold the farm to Taels LLC, among the founders of which Aven was also once, but by the time of the transaction he had sold a share to partners - Tikhomirova and VTB employee Sergey Erin, who consolidated 47% of the company's shares each. Another 6% received Zaostrovtseva.
From scouts to hoteliers
Another business partner of Anastasia Zadorina, Maria Romanova, is the wife of a former intelligence officer, ex-adviser to the director of FSUE Rostek, Alexander Romanov. Together with Zadorina, in December 2015, she acquired control over the Luxus company, the Russian representative office of a well-known Ecuadorian rose importer. In mid-December, Zadorina sold her stake in the company to partners. The Romanovs in the register of companies of Montenegro appear as equal owners of DOO Romanoff, which owns the Azimut and Romanov hotels on the Adriatic coast. Previously, the co-owner of the company was Nadezhda Khoreva, whom Kommersant calls the wife of Andrey Khorev, the former deputy head of the economic security department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. A few years ago, both Romanov and Khorev became defendants in criminal cases. Khorev was suspected of giving a bribe, trafficking in weapons, but all criminal cases fell apart. Romanov was accused of organizing commercial bribery. According to investigators, he and his accomplices collected additional payments from importers "for expedited clearance." The investigation also found that in 2009 the wives of Khorev and Romanov purchased the Azimut hotel and four land in Montenegro, Kommersant wrote. The Sevsky District Court of the Bryansk Region in 2014 sentenced Romanov to five years in prison and a fine of 117 million rubles.
As a result, Zadorina and Tikhomirova's structure turned out to be the main co-owners of two recreation centers with hunting grounds with an area of 117,900 hectares. And by the way, its own heliport "Los", owned by the FSB.
At the same time, Tikhomirova invested in pharmaceuticals. In 2010, together with Rotavchikov, they bought 20% each of NPK Nanosystem LLC from the Pharmaco pharmaceutical holding. Shortly before that, 24% in the latter was bought by the daughter of the president of Transneft, Major General of the FSB Nikolai Tokarev, Maya Bolotova. The Nanosystems presentation says that its main goal is the development and commercialization of highly effective drugs for the treatment of cancer, tuberculosis and other socially significant diseases.
In 2013, Nanosystema became one of a dozen companies with which the Ministry of Industry and Trade signed a contract for preclinical studies of water-compatible nanoscale forms of rifabutin under the federal target program "Development of the Pharmaceutical and Medical Industry until 2020". Nanosystem received 31 million rubles for research.
But over time, Nanosystem lost ground. The company's revenue decreased from the maximum 677 million rubles. in 2012 to 164 million rubles. in 2014. There are no more recent reports in SPARK.
Sweet life
“Too cool for a city cafe,” TimeOut magazine wrote in 2006 about the two-story restaurant Lubyansky, which worked in the FSB residence at Malaya Lubyanka, 7. The establishment, decorated in black and ash colors, belonged to the Quorum-Invest company close to the National Military Fund of Zhuravlev - the very one from whom Tikhomirov bought the Ecoresurs company. In 2007, Tikhomirov acquired 60% of Quorum-invest, another 10% went to Smirnov.
A year later, when the lease on the building expired, Tikhomirov and his partners sold Quorum-Invest. In 2012 the company went bankrupt and liquidated.
But the Shekinas did not remain without restaurants.
In 2013, Yulia Tikhomirova's Dynamo Service for 12 million rubles. acquired the Royal Bar restaurant on Leningradskoye Shosse, next to the Dynamo Sports Palace opened in the same 2013. Tikhomirova got a complex with an area of 8000 sq. m, which includes a restaurant, a summer terrace, a private beach with a swimming pool, volleyball and children's playgrounds, a marina and tents, she told Vodabereg.ru.
Zadorina also got her own restaurant. In 2015, together with a well-known lawyer and restaurateur Alexander Rappoport, she opened the Latin Quarter, “the first Pan-American restaurant in Russia.” A year later, the partners corrected the concept of the establishment, remaking the restaurant into a Latinos sevicheria. Rappoport declined to comment, forwarding all questions to Zadorina.
What kind of business do the daughters of the "supply manager" of the FSB Mikhail Shekin do, and who helps them
Ekaterina Chesnokova / RIA Novosti
What role did high-ranking people from the state security structures play in the largest Russian corporations?
“This is correct information, he returned to the service,” said the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, in response to a question about the fate of FSB General Oleg Feoktistov. What is interesting about this general?
It is believed that Feoktistov was behind the multi-way operation that ended with the arrest of former Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev. Before joining Rosneft, Feoktistov worked for the Federal Security Service. There, after performing the "special operation" and returned. The story received a wide response and became a landmark for understanding how the system of interaction between Russian business and law enforcement agencies is evolving.
In the early 1990s, active employees left the state security agencies and settled in warm places in the newly created private financial and industrial groups. Some of them have grown to serious posts and become co-owners. Yukos, Gusinsky's Most group, Lukoil, Alfa group - almost every oligarch of the 1990s can find a general.
The coming to power of Vladimir Putin radically changed the picture. If earlier people with shoulder straps performed the functions of lobbyists for big capital in law enforcement and, more broadly, state structures, then over time their functions have become different.
Massive landing of former and current employees of the special services to the authorities state power forced large business structures to think about finding people who could act as intermediaries in communicating with the security forces. Some of these people turned out to be public and in some cases even became the face of the company.
In the meantime, processes have evolved. As the general public gradually became aware, special units were formed in the structure of the FSB and other special services that oversee the situation in the largest companies and sectors of the Russian economy. At the same time, through the institute of “seconded” employees, the Russian special services established direct control over key processes in Russian corporations.
The episode with Rosneft and General Feoktistov is indicative in this sense, because it showed the nature of the relationship between large companies and special services in the most possible (in the current conditions) public manner.

“The leaders of the entire economic block of the FSB are leaving the department. All of them have long been in place, age. But, of course, this is not the reason for the resignation. V Lately relations with the Department of Internal Security of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation worsened, scandalous stories began to arise that developed into criminal cases or so-called operational information. There was a rather difficult situation last summer, but then somehow the parties were "littered in the corners." It hasn’t worked out now,” a Rosbalt source in the special services said.
According to him, Oleg Feoktistov, who is now the deputy head of the department, can become the head of the CSS.
So far, no one cares about different testimonies in a criminal case and arbitration, only because law enforcement officers do not combine all processes and decisions on them into one scheme. But lawlessness cannot last indefinitely, and in the event of an honest trial, the documents indicated in the paper with the name of Ushakov will greatly hinder the raiders.
General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation
The criminal case initiated against Ekimov was under investigation for six years. Petr Zvonkov, an investigator with the Russian Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Istra District, closes the case at the stage of signing the indictment. The position of the investigation - Ekimov's guilt is fully proven.
It is impossible to find this criminal case now. All inquiries about where the materials are located are answered by PASMI journalists with a refusal to provide data.
Obviously, the Prosecutor General's Office knows where the case is. An inspection carried out there showed that it had been illegally closed. The prosecutor's office insists on resuming the investigation, which is reported to the Deputy Prosecutor General Viktor Grin.
"Studying the case in the Prosecutor General's Office Russian Federation showed that the preliminary investigation on the second episode of the accused Ekimov V.S. the act was terminated by the investigator unreasonably, the decision in this part, in violation of part 4 of article 7 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, is not motivated and is not materials collected criminal case," the document says. – “Given the foregoing, as well as the fact that the investigation of the criminal case at the request of Churin V.V. became protracted, the investigating authority repeatedly made illegal procedural decisions, which were canceled in the order of supervision and departmental control, in order to intensify the investigation, I propose to instruct the Prosecutor of the Moscow Region to cancel the illegal decision to terminate the investigation of 04/02/2015, to take measures aimed at establishing all the circumstances of the committed crimes, issuance of a lawful decision.
The actions indicated in the letter have not yet been completed. I would like to print the name of that employee of the prosecutor's office, who, after thousands of appeals from public figures, journalists and deputies, nevertheless saw signs of a violation of the law and reported this to the higher leadership. But the name of the source is hidden for his safety. Such a paradox.
PASMI sends a request to the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yuri Chaika and Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Viktor Grin with a request to provide data on the timing of the action specified in this document.
