Alexander Pervukhin was relieved of his post as Minister of Internal Affairs of Udmurtia. High-profile cases of the ex-Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Udmurtia Alexander Pervukhin Ministry of Internal Affairs

On October 21, 2015, the citizen applied to the Operational-Investigative Unit of the Internal Security of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Udmurt Republic with a statement regarding illegal actions of police officers. The application was accepted, registered and they promised to carry out an appropriate check, and send a response with the results of the check by mail in an envelope. Today is already 03/13/2016! The applicant did not wait for a response. Who is guilty? ORCH employee Baranova? Or her boss Zaripov? Or maybe the Minister of Internal Affairs of Udmurtia Pervukhin? Who will be responsible for the outright chaos in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Udmurtia?
Here's how it all happened according to the injured citizen A.V. Maksimchik: "On December 4, 2014, I was offered a job in the Zavyalovsky district of the Udmurt Republic. Having formed a team of welders and installers, I went with it to the site. Having arrived at the site, we met the foreman, with whom we resolved all issues related to the work process and went to look for premises for living. Which was found in the village of Pozim on the territory of a small enterprise, where a special building for visitors was equipped. The next day, we started work on site in the morning. On December 6, 2014, my employees and I went to the local store “At Yurich’s” to buy groceries and cigarettes. In the store I had a raised dialogue with the seller Natalya Alexandrovna Vishnekova.On December 7, 2014, I specifically looked into the Yurich store in order to apologize to the seller N.A. Vishnyakova. However, the apology was not accepted, and in response I heard the following: “Wait, big problems await you that you don’t even know about.”

On December 8, 2014, between 4 and 5 p.m., I was with employee D.Yu. Volkov. went to the grocery store. Returning back, we saw a traffic police patrol car in the parking lot at our place of residence. When we passed by the traffic police car, two police officers got out and approached us. They didn't introduce themselves. I learned the names of the traffic police officers later when I was introduced to the documents in court. Pointing to my car, which was parked in the same parking area, they asked: “Do you know whose car this is?” I told the traffic police officers that it was my car and asked: “What happened?” Without explaining anything, they asked me to sit in the patrol car. I sent my employee Volkov D.Yu. with food at our place of residence so that the team could prepare their own dinner. I asked the traffic police officers: for what purpose was I invited into the patrol car? One of the employees explained that they had received a signal that I was driving while intoxicated and that they even had a video recording. I replied that the last time I drove my car was on December 6, when we went to the grocery store. They showed me a video that for some reason had no date and time. The video showed how a patrol car, or perhaps it was another car, with a car recorder, was following me from the store towards the enterprise on the territory of which we lived. I told them that I actually started moving away from the store. But what exactly is my fault? Unclear.

They asked me for my passport. I said it was some kind of misunderstanding. However, they began filling out the administrative violation report. I asked for a breathalyzer, but the traffic police officers didn’t have one, for a medical examination They didn’t take me around. Having filled out the protocol without the presence of witnesses, traffic police officers asked me to sign it. I had to remind the traffic police officers that at the time of the invitation to sit in the patrol car, I was walking. And I will not sign any protocol stating that I drove my car while intoxicated.Then the police officers threatened me that if I did not sign the protocol, then the guys from the UAZ “Patriot” car parked next door would come out, who was about five meters from the patrol car,They’ll crash my car, and they’ll take me out into the forest and they’ll find me only in the spring.It was these guys from the UAZ “Patriot” car who acted as those absent witnesses and went to sign the protocol in the patrol car as soon as I got out of it. I did not immediately leave the scene and saw them sign the protocol. I told the traffic police officers that this is real banditry and I will complain about them. To which the traffic police officers just grinned and told me not to waste time and sign the protocol. Fearing for my life, I had to sign the protocol. A copy of the protocol was not given. Next, the traffic police officers demanded that I give them the keys to my car so that they could be calm that I would no longer drive a car while intoxicated. They said that tomorrow morning they would deliver and give me the keys to the car. The car keys were confiscated. In this case, the seizure act was not drawn up. When I got home, I told my employees everything. Employee A.V. Kudryavtsev stated in surprise the following: “How could you drive a car when I went to get a flashlight in my car and saw that your car was parked next to mine?” That’s when I remembered the threats from the seller N.A. Vishnyakova, who was hinting at causing problems for me. On the morning of December 9, 2014, I was with A.V. Kudryavtsev. I went to meet the traffic police officers who were supposed to return the keys to my car. We waited for them for an hour and a half, but they never arrived. Then I decided that if the store seller N.A. Vishnekova promised to solve problems for me, then I should go to her. We went to the Yurich store.

Arriving at the store, I asked her if she happened to know who had the keys to my personal car? Seller: Vishnyakova N.A. asked: “What, is your watchman Kamalov. R.M. didn’t hand over the keys?” I answered no. She called somewhere, after which she said to wait 15 minutes and that the keys would be brought to the store. A.V. Kudryavtsev and I went outside and began to wait again.After 20 minutes, the same UAZ “Patriot” car arrived, which was in the parking lot that day when the traffic police officers drew up a report on me. A resident of the village of Pozim, citizen Grigory Ivanovich Borisov, got out of the car. And, putting brass knuckles on his hand and without explaining anything, he struck me with a strong blow directly to the head with the brass knuckles, cutting my right eyebrow until it bled. Next came punches and kicks. He was stopped by his employee A.V. Kudryavtsev. G.I. Borisov. He threw me the car keys and said: “Guys! I am the boss here and what happened to you now means you got off easy. Pack up and leave here if you want to stay alive!”

The next day we left the village of Pozim for home. I contacted the police and wrote a statement about the unlawful actions of employees of the State Institution “Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Zavyalovsky District” and, at the same time, recorded the beatings from a forensic expert.Report of IDPS OGIBDD department Zavyalovsky st. police lieutenant Minaev S.M. was not registered in the prescribed manner, there was no resolution from the command staff on receiving the report and sending it to work. The results of the check on beatings from the State Institution “Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Zavyalovsky District” were received according to the jurisdiction and to judicial station No. 4 to the magistrate. And silence! The police told me that they would conduct an appropriate check on my application. And three weeks later I received a summons to appear in court at my place of residence. I arrived at the court, where they explained to me that a report had been drawn up against me, which stated that I was driving while drunk. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for December 20, 2014. At the preliminary hearing, I gave my explanation, judge N.V. Rubanova. listened to witnesses Volkov D.Yu. and Kudryavtsev A.V.. The next court hearing was scheduled for January 23, 2015. The traffic police officers of the Zavyalovsky district Minaev S.M., Vladykin D.Yu. were also summoned to court. and watchman R.M. Kamalov, who was on duty that evening of December 8, 2014.I went to the village of Pozim to see the watchman R.M. Kamalov to personally hand him the summons. When meeting me, the watchman R.M. Kamalov. apologized to me for testifying against me. He literally said the following: “I didn’t give any evidence to the police, they wrote down an explanation with my data on a form and told me to sign. The text of the explanation itself had already been written at that time. I still have to live here, and I fear for my family, that’s why I had to sign.”In the “testimony” of the watchman R.M. Kamalov. it was stated that Maksimchik A.V. I arrived in my own car. Two minutes later, a patrol car arrived, after which Maksimchika A.V. detained. I told R.M. Kamalov that it was very important to appear at the court hearing, but he categorically refused to go, citing the fact that he feared for his life and for the lives of people close to him.

On January 23, 2015, only I and traffic police officers Vladykin D, Yu came to the trial. and Minaev S.M. didn't show up. In this regard, the court hearing was postponed to February 20, 2015. Traffic police officers Vladykin D.Yu. nevertheless attended this meeting. and Minaev S.M. They behaved defiantly and were confused in their testimony. To my question “Why are they keeping silent about my witness Volkov D.Yu.?” traffic police officers stated that I was alone. And they received a signal, they drove out and found that I had parked in the parking lot drunk, got out of the car, after which they detained me. At the trial, both denied that they had threatened me. “As a result, the court made a decision: to deprive me of the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 1 year and 6 months, and also imposed a fine of 30,000 rubles.”

I repeatedly turned to the head of the Main Directorate for Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Lieutenant General Alexander Ivanovich Makarov, with a convincing request: to organize a meeting for me with an employee of the Main Directorate for Security Investigations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The general is silent. But they began to fuss in the Operational-Investigative Unit of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Udmurt Republic. An ORCh employee called and conveyed the wishes of his boss F.F. Zaripov. meet and chat with me. Odd man! I don’t communicate with those who start loading me with unsubscribes without reacting to the obvious facts of criminal acts. We'll write it off, he didn't know about it. And then the most interesting thing began, which can cause nothing but surprise and indignation. An employee of the ORCH of the Security Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Udmurt Republic tried to recruit me! “You can help us in the northern regions of Udmurtia, Alexander Sergeevich,” puzzled the ORCh employee at the other end of the line. Oh, how! You can also help: write a report on dismissal from the internal affairs bodies.

On August 17, 2016, I received another official response from the prosecutor’s office of the Udmurt Republic. The soap opera continues for the second year!

Yesterday, a Decree of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin was published, by which the President of Russia immediately dismissed 11 generals of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Penitentiary Service and the Investigative Committee. Among them is the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Udmurt Republic Alexander Pervukhin.

By the same decree, the head of the republican department of the Federal Penitentiary Service, Vladimir Doronin, was also relieved of his post.

Alexander Pervukhin was appointed to head the Udmurt Ministry of Internal Affairs exactly seven years ago (04/05/2011). Previously, he served as deputy head of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate for the Sverdlovsk Region. In the republic, Alexander Pervukhin became famous for his large-scale investigation into the enterprises and managers of the KOMOS-Group holding, which began a year after the general’s tenure as minister. This investigation, however, did not end with anything significant, other than media hype and mutual (but unproven) accusations of violating laws.

Unlike Mr. Pervukhin, Colonel Doronin, appointed to the UR from the Oryol region, served in Udmurtia for only a short time - only a year and a half and did not participate in scandalous stories. The reason for the colonel's resignation is said to be dissatisfaction with Doronin's work in the central department: last year, several emergencies occurred in the Udmurt Federal Penitentiary Service, one of which was related to the Izhevsk educational colony.

Pervukhin Alexander Sergeevich

Born on November 28, 1964 in Sverdlovsk. Graduated from the Omsk Higher School of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs. He began his service in the police as an investigator of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Kirov Regional Executive Committee of the city of Sverdlovsk. Since October 2001, he headed the inspection of the headquarters of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of the Sverdlovsk Region. In February 2007, he was appointed to the position of Deputy Chief of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate - Chief of Staff of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate for the Sverdlovsk Region. By Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 400 of 04/05/2011, Police Major General Alexander Sergeevich Pervukhin was appointed Minister of Internal Affairs for the Udmurt Republic. In 2008, by Presidential Decree, he was awarded the rank of police major general. In 2011, by Presidential Decree, he was awarded the rank of Major General of Police.

Doronin Vladimir Alexandrovich

Born on May 25, 1960 in Mtsensk, Oryol region. Graduated from the Riga Higher Military-Political School. After graduating from college, he worked as secretary of the Komsomol committee, served as deputy group commander for the political part of military unit 43176.

From 1990 to 1991 served as a senior instructor for the political and educational work of this institution. In 1992, he headed the LTP SIDiSR Department of Internal Affairs of the Oryol Region. From 1994 to 1998, he served as the head of the correctional labor colony-settlement of the SIDiSR Department of Internal Affairs of the Oryol Region. Then, for several months, he headed the department for organizing the search and escort service of the Regional Internal Affairs Directorate. In 1998, he was appointed head of correctional colony No. 7. Since 2005 – Head of the Federal State Institution IK-6 of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Oryol Region. From 2008 to 2010, he was deputy head of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for the Oryol region. In 2010, he headed the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Oryol region. On October 6, 2016, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, he was appointed head of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for the Udmurt Republic.

Sometimes police brutality looks quite ordinary. The leaders of the Izhevsk companies Ferum and Grand Casino encountered the first signs of unhealthy police interest at the end of last year. Judging by the cautious hints of familiar officials of the republican Ministry of Internal Affairs, the profitable business and well-located gaming halls attracted the attention of one of the police leaders, the head of the criminal police and first deputy minister Rinat Saitgareev. The company owners, although they took the threat seriously, decided not to panic for the time being. Moreover, the formidable security officer has so far limited himself to cautiously probing potential victims.

By April 2007, the security forces had matured to take concrete action. The blow was struck, as usual, suddenly. In the rich arsenal of ransomware there is a completely lethal, but expensive technique: “nightmare”. The technology, despite the intricate name, is quite simple: a criminal case is initiated against the “object” under any pretext, the further course of which is given depending on the behavior of the accused. The head of the fifth department of the RUBOP of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Udmurt Republic, Robert Emilov, was ordered to begin “preventive measures.” They expressed themselves in a banal “assault.”

If you believe the witnesses of the police attack, Robert Emilov’s subordinates approached the matter creatively. For example, the equipment of two gaming halls located in Izhevsk on Gorky Street was confiscated, scaring away late civilians, albeit illegally, without a corresponding court decision, but in the evening hours, without spending state-paid working time on this. The personal cars of intractable businessmen have been put on the wanted list across the republic. Slowly, for more than three months, instead of the thirty days required by law, they carried out an examination of the captured equipment. They stoically ignored appeals from the management of companies whose activities were terminated without unnecessary explanation and for an indefinite period. We endured the puzzled questions of the tax authorities, who stated that the previously orderly millions of payments from Grand Casino and Ferum to the budget had ceased. They didn’t give a damn about the complaints of their employees who, as a result of a police raid, were subject to mass dismissal...

True, the police did pay attention to one employee of the Ferum company, Ilfat Zakirov. He was beaten half to death during interrogation, having been summoned to the neighborhood on a flimsy pretext. The complaint to the prosecutor's office had no significant consequences. Investigator Maltsev, who received the statement of the crippled businessman, approached the investigation with a keen understanding of the background of the unfortunate incident. The overzealous policemen were his friends. The prosecutor's office had no complaints against them, and therefore the case was successfully dropped. Knowledgeable people said that Zakirov got off easy. It’s good, they say, that policemen were sent to deal with him, not bandits. The “brothers” could have done better. As for the warm relations between Deputy Minister Saitgareev and his criminal charges, the whole republic has been talking about them for a long time.

The law is inexpensive, by barter and for cash

Rinat Annasovich Saitgareev, First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs for the Udmurt Republic and head of the criminal police, is probably known to all adult citizens in Izhevsk. It is not to say that the colonel was extremely popular among the people, but he was recognized as having a well-known and very specific authority. A respectable appearance, a menacing look, competent speeches... Perhaps only his immediate superiors do not share his enthusiasm. And also Udmurt entrepreneurs. They express their opinion, albeit cautiously, but quite categorically: “In Udmurtia, after the appointment of Saidgariev, a whole system of kickbacks was built, in which part of the police was involved. And everyone solves their own personal problems.”

In fact, Rinat Annasovich instilled most of the current regrettable traditions in local law enforcement agencies on his own. Probably, the grip of the former Komsomol worker took its toll. He became a deputy minister at the end of the era of wild redistribution of property, and therefore did not have time to seriously turn around. But, as they said in the old days, he scraped his fill of scraps, not disdaining outright small things.

The scale of the colonel’s requests clearly highlighted the very first corruption scandal in the republican Ministry of Internal Affairs, which broke out and was successfully hushed up for reasons of “protecting the purity of the uniform.” It started out like a normal traffic accident. In August 2005, a year after Saitgareev was promoted to the status of first deputy minister, on the seventeenth kilometer of the Bodiinsky tract, a certain Mr. Zhuravlev caused an accident, which resulted in the death of two people. This citizen's car, a powerful Honda Acura, suffered relatively little damage. Actually, this circumstance predetermined the outcome of the case. The colonel liked the foreign car. As a result, a compromise was found with the redneck who was responsible for the car accident. They parted ways, as they say, amicably: the criminal case initiated into the death of people was dropped, and the repaired Honda became the property of a close relative of Rinat Annasovich.

Of course, not everyone can keep only greyhound puppies all the time. If Colonel Saitgareev shunned money on principle, then who would respect him in that specific society that is commonly called “criminals”? Probably only the prosecutor's office can accurately calculate the income of a modest policeman. Ordinary citizens can only guess the true scale of bureaucratic capital. This can be done using indirect signs of his well-being. Fortunately, even the famous magician Copperfield would not have been able to hide them, given the colonel’s salary of 25 thousand rubles. Take, for example, the policeman’s passion for the hundred-thousand-dollar suits from the latest collections of the Zilli house. Or, what is much more obvious, the deputy minister’s real estate.

Unlike most of our fellow citizens, the housing issue did not spoil Saitgareev. The Deputy Minister shows enviable taste in the selection of housing. He is building a dacha in the Doksha area, with a magnificent view of the Kama bend. And the colonel’s luxurious city cottage was located on the famous Kultbaza, in the village of Vostochny. For those who have never been to the capital of Udmurtia, it is necessary to explain: this is one of the cleanest areas of the city in terms of ecology, the land here is very expensive, and the place is considered extremely prestigious. Judge for yourself: the cottage complex is located within the city, but there are no buses, no noisy trucks, no smoking factory chimneys and dull poor barracks. There is only one tram for transport, and even then the line runs to the side. The locals are quite happy with this. To move around the city, they have their own limousines. Or personal cars with a “flashing light.” However, considerations of environmental well-being were not the main ones for Saitgareev. The lovingly decorated cottage sold for half a million dollars. In return, Saitgareev bought himself a grandiose landholding in the Biathlon Complex microdistrict, which its inhabitants affectionately call “Gorka”.

The allusion to Nikolina Hill in Moscow, in the area of the sovereign Rublevka, is not understood only by common people. Naturally, very wealthy people live there. Moreover, their wealth is calculated not only in the “green” ones. The neighbors in the blessed corner of the “small Motherland” were officials of the republican government, oil and gas workers and industrialists. It would be flattering for any Udmurt “silovik” to join such a select society. And not only. Living surrounded by the elite is good for your career and your pocket. For example, on an evening walk you can make wonderful acquaintances, and observing the life of the inhabitants of the powerful Olympus allows you to find out what these people are like. And, what is much more important, how they can be influenced in the future.

Colonel in authority

The colonel’s excessive, even by riotous Moscow standards, material well-being is difficult to explain by increased official salary and regular bonuses. In addition, it is known that none of Saitgariev’s relatives was engaged in commercial activities. He did not receive a rich inheritance. This begs the question: where does the Deputy Minister get his passion for luxury real estate? The answer is quite simple: his awareness of stock market fluctuations, rare for a policeman, saves him from poverty.

To put it simply, Saitgariev deals with securities. True, he conducts all transactions with them, that is, buying and selling, not personally, but through the “Gid” company. Moreover, of all the securities, he is most attracted to bank notes. In fact, the intermediary company he has chosen specializes in cashing out money. Of course, in our turbulent times it is difficult to engage in such a business: amateur money changers are covered by the very first audit. But no one has ever seriously checked the Guide company, although it cashes out about ten million rubles a day. Deputy Minister Saitgareev takes his business partners seriously, and therefore the “roof” he built does not leak. And the colonel had more than friendly relations with the owner of the Guide, Mrs. Gulyamshinova. ...

A comprehensive answer to the question about the origin of Rinat Annasovich’s other capital is given by a brief overview of his business connections. It, as knowledgeable people note, can successfully replace the directory “Who is who in the criminal world of Udmurtia.” Take, for example, the touching friendship of Colonel Saitgareev with Konstantin Prokoshev, known throughout Izhevsk. This businessman, together with another friend of the deputy minister, Ilham Zainulin, control the Treasure Island shopping and entertainment complex, which includes a good restaurant. Rinat Annasovich, a well-known lover of delicious food, often comes there, spending hours in the company of the owners of the establishment. It’s not hard to guess what exactly the table mates have been conferring about for so long: citizen Prokoshev is considered the recognized leader of the organized criminal group “Boloto”, and his companion is listed in the “combat reserve” of this criminal structure. At the same time, friendship is not limited to restaurant gatherings alone. Not long ago, Saitgareev was spotted at Ilham’s name day, in the company of other representatives of the criminal community, including Alexey Yakimov, known in Izhevsk, nicknamed “Red”.

What the soldiers and brigadiers of the Boloto organized crime group pay for the colonel’s friendship is shrouded in mystery. What Rinat Saitgareev does for his “brothers” is no secret. All Izhevsk operatives remember how, before his arrival at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a special group of tough RUBOP professionals successfully worked in the “Swamp”. The neutralization of the gang was supposed to take place any day, but then the colonel intervened. Through the efforts of the deputy minister, the team, worthy of the memory of Gleba Zheglov, was dispersed, and its operational developments were shelved. But employees with a controversial reputation began to enjoy Saitgereev’s special patronage. Thus, citizen Bakhtiyarov, who had just been put on trial for abuse of office, was hired in the analytical department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Udmurtia. And the head of the RUBOP of Izhevsk, Emilov, whose fighters destroyed the premises of the Grand Casino and Ferum companies, is in fact closely related to Marat Gataulin, better known as a criminal authority nicknamed “Banker”.

However, it may well be that the colonel is friends with the bandits not at the behest of his heart, but out of cruel necessity. As you know, in our world, a businessman cannot survive without a criminal “roof.” And Rinat Annasovich undoubtedly considers himself a major businessman. After all, he is not engaged in a banal “buy and sell”, but in a serious matter. For example, he oversees the Empire boutique, quarreling over this with his colleague Sukhorukov, who looks after his competitor, the Leonardo boutique. Controls the republican illegal oil market, using the cover of the head of the Selena company. And the Central Market, one of the two largest in the city of Izhevsk, also “spuds”. True, in this business Saitgareev relies more on his shoulder straps. For example, he puts pressure on the shareholders of the Eastern Market, the only competitor of the Central Market, harasses its employees with police checks, and initiates a criminal case against the director. And every time, making a loud “attack”, he warns of possible troubles of a more serious nature.

The First Deputy Minister knows what he is talking about. It is difficult to consider it a mere coincidence that during his tenure in a leadership position, Udmurtia was overwhelmed by a wave of contract killings, most of which were never solved. Sergei Krasin was shot dead. Marcel Mingazetdinov, Marat Surmashev, Oleg Bizyaev, Dmitry Malykh, Mikhail Vitsin, Dmitry Shilyaev and Alexey Pushin fell victim to assassination attempts. Nikolai Vostrikov, director of a plastics plant, died at the hands of a killer. And every time, relatives and friends of the killed noted a strange connection between the affairs of the deceased and the commercial interests of individual police representatives. As they say, nothing personal. Business. Business of people in general's uniform.

Independence Day

As experts note, today it is difficult to name a type of commercial activity that has escaped the attention of “men in uniform.” Moreover, the development of the market has led to an interesting effect: today the police have simply pushed the “brothers” away from the most profitable “feeders”, while completely adopting gangster habits and methods. That is why it is so difficult today to fight corruption in the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where every rank, regardless of his personal dirtiness, fiercely defends the notorious “honor of the uniform.” So the companies “Grand Casino” and “Ferum”, in their confrontation with a representative of the corrupt law enforcement system, have to rely only on the prudence of the federal Center. Of course, the prosecution started by Colonel Saitgareev is unlikely to have a chance of ending in a guilty verdict. Absurd decisions are not in fashion these days. But what to do with the openly gangster component of the “administrative resource” of the first deputy minister? And what will happen to the “vertical of power” in this particular region if state representatives vested with boundless powers use them for clearly reprehensible purposes?

It is known that the political structure of the state presupposes a hierarchy of law enforcement agencies. In the event that a citizen or company is experiencing criminal pressure from the local police, justice for presumptuous law enforcement officers can be found in the prosecutor's office. When this does not help, you can go to court. Or, bypassing bureaucratic barriers, to the legislator. But in our country, this system does not work well. Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika diagnosed the existing system in his April report: “The measures taken by law enforcement agencies to counter this threat are clearly not adequate to the danger it poses.” It seems that regulatory authorities, including the internal security service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia, take the provision on the independence of local authorities too literally. After all, shouldn’t we consider, in fact, gangster raids with the participation of the police, an “internal matter” of an independent subject of the Federation, in which the Center cannot interfere?

– Alexey Vladimirovich, have you already formed an idea of the territory entrusted to you? How does the emerging picture match your expectations?

– My personal expectations have nothing to do with it. The main thing that I saw was a caring attitude towards the material and technical component, both towards improving the conditions of service of police officers and the conditions of detention of detainees.

As a positive example, I will cite the built special detention centers in Mozhga and Glazov, the new temporary detention center in Sarapul, the new building of Police Department No. 2 of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in the city of Izhevsk, which meet all modern requirements. It’s nice that people work in decent conditions that contribute to improving the quality of public services.

An undoubted achievement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for SD is its own DNA laboratory. Its creation made it possible to make the work of solving crimes more effective, to intensify joint work with the Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Criminal Crimes in solving crimes of past years. Not all subjects of the Russian Federation currently have such capabilities. At least Udmurtia is the first region in which I work where a DNA laboratory is already operational. Modern technologies are of great help to both the operational unit and the investigation.

– When State Secretary - Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Igor Zubov introduced you to the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the SD, he noted that he supports your intention to rely on local personnel. Why is it important?

– The police are a reflection of society, and the people who work in it are part of it. In all territories, the personnel of internal affairs bodies is formed mainly from those who grew up here, received an education and, accordingly, know the local mentality, the peculiarities of living in the region, the nature of relationships with state institutions, and understands the motivation of people. Rotation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs system is, of course, necessary, especially at the management level, but local personnel always remain the backbone of the team.

Izhevsk is the weapons heart of Russia. Over the centuries, engineering thinking has developed here, the desire for creative work has been supported, and a sense of statehood has been cultivated in people. And this is reflected in the way our employees perceive their responsibilities, set priorities, and approach their work. Therefore, I can note that people are our main pride.

– On what principles do you build relationships with subordinates?

– To succeed as a leader, you need to competently set tasks, ensure their precise implementation, not allow ethical norms to be exceeded in professional relationships, and at the same time show rigor, but only in what is directly related to functional responsibilities. My position is that when people have an understanding that management will not demand more from them than is determined by the functionality of police officers - to protect public order, identify and solve crimes, ensure the rule of law in interaction with representatives of other areas of activity, then work will improve no questions asked.

– For several years, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Udmurt Republic has maintained a leading position based on the results of a comprehensive assessment of the activities of the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. At the same time, it was always emphasized that these results should in no case be considered as a reason to relax, since life is multifaceted, and there is always a risk of not noticing new manifestations of negative trends. As a person with a fresh look at the situation in the republic, in what areas do you see the need to strengthen the work of law enforcement agencies?

– In our practice, moments may indeed arise when we set goals in one direction, achieve certain results, switch to another block, and then weaken our attention. Today, for example, this direction has become the fight against illegal trade in alcohol and alcohol-containing products. Several years ago, this issue in the republic was studied in detail with the involvement of municipalities and the Bailiff Service. Over a certain period, the situation stabilized and signals began to arrive less frequently. But a holy place, as life shows, is never empty, and now there is a need to return to the question.

At the end of September, police officers together with representatives of the federal project “Sober Russia” carried out preventive measures in Izhevsk. As a result, three retail outlets were identified in the Ustinovsky, Industrialny and Pervomaisky districts that sold alcohol and alcohol-containing products in violation of the law. Over 1,300 units of alcoholic beverages were seized. Currently, the Federal Bailiff Service for the SD is handling 23 enforcement proceedings for the release of land plots by entrepreneurs who have committed offenses in the field of sales of alcoholic beverages. There are 7 materials in the courts of the republic. 20 letters were sent to municipalities regarding consideration of the possibility of terminating land lease agreements.

We continue our systematic work and are ready to consider any information received from citizens - information about hotlines where you can report where alcohol is sold illegally is posted on the website. We are always in touch.

– Are you planning to develop work with the public?

- Without fail. It is being actively carried out in the republic and has never stopped. I have already had working meetings with representatives of public organizations. We have found common ground and are ready to continue cooperation in all areas. Information from citizens about drunk drivers on the roads, dubious personalities allegedly associated with the distribution of drugs is immediately processed and bears fruit. There are also good prospects for developing interaction with volunteers who help in the search for missing people, signaling the spread of extremist materials, child pornography, etc. on the Internet. All this is done in the interests of society, and we see that every year there are more and more people who understand this and perceive the volunteer movement and their participation in it as a manifestation of social responsibility and a sign of a healthy citizenship.

– What from the experience of other regions should Udmurtia adopt?

– It’s hard to say, because in all areas of our work we are constantly collecting best practices and disseminating them through specialized departments – be it the criminal police or the public security police – throughout all territories. But in the Udmurt Republic there are definitely experimental developments that are interesting to other regions. For example, work on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for traffic control. It is no secret that the number of traffic police officers has decreased in recent years. The emergence of automated stationary systems for recording driver violations, of course, disciplines them, but only in those areas where they are located. And drones make it possible to cover the entire route. Their use is undoubtedly a positive experience, which Udmurtia was one of the first to gain thanks to the advanced developments of the enterprises of the military-industrial complex of the republic.

– You graduated from the Omsk Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. What positions does he occupy in the system of training personnel for law enforcement agencies?

– It is generally recognized that this is one of the best universities in the country that trains operational workers for criminal investigation units. Its graduates serve throughout the country. Among them are many heads of territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

– You have been working in the internal affairs bodies for 22 years. When did you feel like you became a professional?

– There was no such moment. You need to be critical of yourself.

With each new position you get new functions, so you can’t stop there, you need to constantly improve.

– You arrived in Arkhangelsk at the suggestion of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Arkhangelsk region, Major General of Police Sergei Volchkov, with whom you had previously worked in Ulyanovsk. What words did he give you as a senior comrade when it became known about your appointment as Minister of Internal Affairs for the SD?

- “Patience and wisdom.” It is important not to cut from the shoulder. Relationships with people need to be built on the basis that there is a lot of work to be done together.

– What would you like to wish your colleagues on the eve of their professional holiday – the Day of the Internal Affairs Officer of the Russian Federation?

– The tenth of November is a special date in the history of our country, the most revered professional holiday. This is a holiday of courageous and strong people, true patriots of their country, who see their duty in serving Russia. On this holiday, I sincerely wish all employees and veterans good health, happiness, family well-being, and success in their difficult but noble service. May you always be surrounded by an atmosphere of kindness, sincerity and mutual understanding.
