Rector of the Baltic State Technical University "Voenmekh" Viktor Yurakov. The now deceased former personal driver, then head of the FSB Affairs Department, Valentin Chuikin.
The media wrote that Boris Gryzlov created in 1990 together with two state security workers - the future head of the Federal Drug Control Service Viktor Ivanov and Valentin Chuikin - a small enterprise called Blok. In 1991, together with his wife Ada Gryzlova, he founded the Center for Retraining of Managerial Personnel LLP. This organization, after numerous reorganizations and renamings, currently functions as the National Open Institute of Russia (NOIR). The rector of NRIR is Ada Gryzlova, the vice-rector for public relations is her son, the former director of the Gargulya computer club, Dmitry Gryzlov.
Among the leaders of the institute at one time was Viktor Yurakov, who later headed the executive committee of the St. Petersburg branch of the Unity party and unsuccessfully participated in election campaigns. In addition, Yurakov worked as vice-rector for economics and financial and economic activities of BSTU Voenmekh, but was fired after the discovery of numerous violations related to the rental of premises. However, after the resignation of BSTU rector Yuri Savelyev, Viktor Yurakov performed his duties for some time, but lost the rector election, returning to Ada Gryzlova’s institute.
If during the first Chechen war of 1994-96 state security tried to prevent Russia’s turn towards liberal-democratic development, the political tasks of the second war were much more serious: to provoke Russia into a war with Chechnya and, in the ensuing turmoil, to seize power in Russia at the next (2000) presidential elections. elections. The “honor” of inciting war fell to the new director of the FSB, Colonel General Patrushev.
Patrushev was born on July 11, 1951 in Leningrad. In 1974 he graduated from the Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute. He was assigned to the institute's design bureau, where he worked as an engineer, but literally a year later, in 1975, he was invited to join the KGB. Completed one-year courses high school KGB of the USSR. After completing the courses, he served in the Leningrad Directorate, rising from a junior “operator” to the head of the service for combating smuggling and corruption of the KGB Directorate for Leningrad and the region with the rank of colonel. And it was in the 90s in Leningrad that Putin was said to have “exposed” to frauds involving the export of non-ferrous metals to the West in the amount of $93 million. In 1991, Patrushev, out of duty, was simply obliged to develop Putin, since the export of non-ferrous metals abroad and the theft of funds from sales was the line of work of the service to combat smuggling and corruption, headed by Patrushev. This is how Patrushev met the future president.
In June 1992, Patrushev was sent to independent work to Karelia, where he headed the local Counterintelligence Department. In 1994, Leningrad resident Stepashin became the director of the FSK, who took Patrushev to Moscow to the position of head of one of the key divisions of Lubyanka - the Internal Security Directorate of the FSK of the Russian Federation. USB FSK - counterintelligence within counterintelligence, department for collecting compromising evidence on FSK employees. The head of the CSS is the most trusted representative of the director of the FSK-FSB and reports personally to the director.
By transferring to Moscow, Stepashin saved Patrushev from a serious scandal. In Karelia, he was caught stealing and smuggling expensive Karelian birch, and the Petrozavodsk prosecutor’s office opened a criminal case into the crime, where Patrushev was initially a witness. During the investigation, however, his guilt as an accomplice was actually proven. It was then that Stepashin transferred Patrushev to Moscow to a very high post. For the prosecutor's office of Karelia, Patrushev became unattainable. The head of the FSB Directorate for the Republic of Karelia, Vasily Ankudinov, who could tell us a lot about the Karelian birch, fortunately for Patrushev, died at the age of 56 on May 21, 2001.
In June 1995, Stepashin was replaced as director of FSK by Mikhail Barsukov. Barsukova in the summer of 1996 - Nikolai Kovalev. But Barsukov and Kovalev do not consider Patrushev their man and do not promote him. Then Vladimir Putin, who by that time headed the Main Control Directorate (GCU) of the president, invites his old acquaintance to the position of first deputy. Patrushev goes to Putin.
The further rapid growth of Patrushev’s career is associated with the rise of Putin. Having become the first deputy head of the Kremlin administration in May 1998, Putin promotes Patrushev to the vacant post of head of the Presidential State Administration. In October of the same year, Patrushev returned to Lubyanka, first as Putin’s deputy, appointed to this position by Yeltsin’s decree on July 25, 1998, and then as first deputy director of the FSB.
On March 29, 1999, Yeltsin appointed Putin as Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, retaining his post as Director of the FSB, and on August 9, 1999, as Prime Minister of Russia. Summing up the first months of his reign, Novaya Gazeta wrote: “Long ago, in a very democratic country, an elderly president handed over the post of Chancellor and Prime Minister to a young, energetic successor. After that, the Reichstag caught fire... Historians have never answered the question of who set it on fire; history has shown who benefited from it.” In Russia, “the aged Guarantor handed over the post of prime minister to a successor who has yet to be democratically elected. Residential buildings immediately exploded, a new Chechen War, which is sung by the chief liars."
