The Novgorod region has no luck with senators. Once upon a time, ex-governor Mikhail Prusak nominated the odious and unpopular among the people Gennady Burbulis as a member of the Federation Council, who is accused by the masses of the collapse Soviet Union. (Earlier in 1999, Burbulis tried to be elected from our region to the State Duma, but lost the election). Then, with the advent of the new governor Sergei Mitin in 2007, Dmitry Krivitsky (from the regional Duma) and Alexander Korovnikov (from the executive branch) began to represent the Novgorod region in the upper house of the Legislative Assembly of the Russian Federation. Senator Krivitsky a year ago became a real "star of the blogosphere" by writing a denunciation to the UK against the famous Novgorod politician and popular blogger Vadim beriashvili Beriashvili. According to Krivitsky, Vadim carried out extremist activities, inciting hatred towards the social group "senators" (no more, no less!). The reason for such displeasure of Mr. Krivitsky was the ironic post of Beriashvili, in which he announced a fundraiser to help the poorest Russian senator (according to the official report for 2011, Krivitsky's monthly income in 2011 was less than 10 thousand rubles), and this despite the fact that he was a philanthropist. Krivitsky failed to sue Beriashvili (on the contrary, Vadim Beriashvili was even elected to the Duma of Veliky Novgorod on September 8 this year), but the senator became a universal laughing stock.

Now the second senator from the Novgorod region, Alexander Korovnikov, has become involved in the bribery scandal. By the way, neither Krivitsky nor Korovnikov are directly related to the Novgorod region - both were born, studied, made a career outside the Novgorod region (our region for both is just a springboard for taking a seat in the Federation Council, which, according to the original idea , was supposed to bring together representatives Russian regions). So today the media reported that

Mikhailik's wife had already committed suicide after learning of her husband's arrest and indictment. But the role of Senator Korovnikov in this story is not entirely clear. By the way, his external biography is as follows:

"Korovnikov Alexander Venidiktovich was born on April 30, 1955 in the city of Gryazi (Lipetsk region). In 1976 he graduated from the Higher Political School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in 1986 - from the Military-Political Academy (at the same time Sergey Stepashin studied at the academy), in 1993 - Center for Legal Retraining at the Humanitarian Academy of the Armed Forces Doctor of Law (dissertation topic - "Legal and social protection of military personnel: theoretical and legal research") Served in political positions in the army, reserve colonel In 1990 he was elected a people's deputy from the Zagorsk city district N67 (Sergiev Posad), headed the committee of the Supreme Council for the disabled, veterans of war and labor, social protection of the military and their families.Since 1993, he has been the head of the board of the Renaissance Charitable Foundation. In 1995, he joined the organizing committee of the socio-political movement "Dukhovnoe legacy", in 1996-1999 he was its first deputy chairman. In 1995 he was elected to the State Duma on the list of the Communist Party. He was a member of the committee on affairs am veterans, since 1998 he headed the inter-factional deputy group "Legal Order". In 2000-2007, he was assistant to the Chairman of the Accounts Chamber, Sergei Stepashin. In 2006, he was mentioned in a letter from the capital's businessman Ilya Durdyev addressed to the president, in which the entrepreneur accused Mr. Korovnikov of trying to seize the Ruslan-3 auto technical center. Since November 2007 - a senator from the Novgorod region, is a member of the committee on regulations and organization of parliamentary activities. In December 2010, the Vedomosti newspaper reported on Alexander Korovnikov's connections with businessman Yevgeny Bolotin, who allegedly organized a scheme for earning money on pension funds in Svyaz-Bank. In February 2011, Mr. Korovnikov's assistant was beaten with baseball bats in Moscow. In February 2012, the senator became a member of the Board of Trustees of OAO Bank Zapadny.

The editors of PASMI have already published the presentation of Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to the employees of the GUEBiPK and the provocations and operational experiments existing in matters of regulation. PASMI also spoke about after they revealed billion-dollar violations of the ex-head of the presidential administration, the leadership of Masterbank and General Sugrobov who emerged from Igor Demin(USB FSB).

Here, PASMI will tell about one episode of the case against General Sugrobov by the employees of the RF Investigative Committee, which changes the perception of the fight against corruption in Russia. An episode about being a member of the Federation Council Alexandra Korovnikova and director of the department of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation Alexandra Mikhailika caught red-handed, Korovnikov confessed to everything and agreed to cooperate with the operatives, and Mikhailik was brought to criminal liability. But suddenly a miracle happened. You can’t call it otherwise: some investigators and prosecutors accused Korovnikov and Mikhailik of a crime, while others made them victims, turning the Guebovites into provocateurs and criminals. It is interesting that now these officials continue the valiant path of serving the people. Read the material and watch an exclusive video about "provocateurs" and their victims.

Organize punishment by an unscheduled inspection of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise

So, in September 2013, Alexander Korovnikov, a member of the Federation Council from the Novgorod region, was detained on suspicion of mediation in bribery, and then Alexander Mikhailik, director of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, was arrested as part of the same case, who became another victim of a provocation.

According to the version put forward by the investigation, Korovnikov's acquaintance is a former member of the expert council of the Accounts Chamber Sergey Zakusilo- volunteered to help businessmen from Laardi LLC, which is engaged in the design and construction of stadiums and sports facilities. Such assistants in the jargon of representatives of the legal sphere are called solvers. Zakusilo had great connections in various ministries and departments, and his assistance in resolving the issue consisted of the following: it was necessary to conduct an unscheduled inspection of FSUE Sport Engineering. This was supposed to be a kind of punishment for the fact that the Federal State Unitary Enterprise did not allow Laardi LLC to organize and prepare the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

According to the version that was put forward by the investigation, Zakusilo estimated his assistance at 12.5 million rubles, five of which should have gone into the pocket of the intermediary, Alexander Korovnikov.

However, businessmen from Laardi LLC changed their minds and turned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And from that moment, having agreed to cooperate with the operatives, Zakusilo made every step under their control.

The editors of PASMI used copies of the video materials, the full recordings of which are posted on the Internet.

This article will use fragments of four videos featuring Zakusilo, Korovnikov and Mikhailik.

“Let's have more of these topics, more of these topics!”

So, the first video: in the frame of Korovnikov, two cameras are filming him: one is in Zakusilo's suitcase, the second is attached to his clothes. The video recorded their conversation about the details of the audit of "Sport-Engineering" and about the advance that Zakusilo received for it.

Korovnikov:"Tell me what you need?"

Bitten:“So they called me today. I voiced our topic to them, that we still need to add "documentation", and they agreed to add another five. They said: “thank you, we have heard that there has already passed a tough check.” And I tell them: “So we work!”
Korovnikov:“There is nothing bad, very bad!” [in the meaning of Korovnikov, he says that the audit did not reveal any serious violations at the enterprise]
Bitten: " They gave me a five, and they said they would give me a ten later. They said that the prosecutor's office is not needed, nothing is needed, just give us a copy of the act and that's it, nothing more. Fu, thank God! [Crossed]

Korovnikov:“We will try to make it [the act] as bad as possible, as much as possible! But he won't go to the prosecutor's office, right? All! I’ll give you the act ... soooo ... let’s give the act to you on the 30th, on Monday ”

Then the interlocutors go to the toilet. Along the way, they continue to talk at ease, and the senator asks to offer him other "new topics" for similar earnings.

Korovnikov:“And you, when I take the deed, and you give them the deed, you will take another ten.”

Bitten:"Yes"

Korovnikov:"Is there your interest there?"

Bitten:"Well I said 10%"

Korovnikov:“Well, that's all. So, how much does it work out?”

Bitten:"A million and a half"

They go to the toilet. Pause.

Korovnikov:"BUT?"

Bitten:"One and a half"

Korovnikov:“Well, fifty dollars, yes, I understand. /Unintelligible/ ours or?”

Bitten:"Ours!"

Korovnikov:“Let's have more of these topics, more of these topics!”

Bitten:"Let's try."

Korovnikov:"BUT?"

Bitten:“We will try, I say. Now autumn has begun - the rotation of personnel has begun.

The interlocutors return to the senator's office, and Zakusilo transfers money to Korovnikov's bag, and the senator counts "one, two, three, four, five." Throughout the conversation, the intonation of the voice betrays Korovnikov's animation: it seems that he is very pleased.

“Guys, I am a member of the Federation Council! You have no right"

But his joy is not indebted: literally a few minutes later - the detention of Korovnikov, right there, in his office. The third video shows how Korovnikov explains to the Guebovites that he has a large amount of money: he has just agreed with Zakusilo to sell his old Mercedes and took an advance payment. Pay attention to the work of the operatives: they calmly and convincingly read out to the senator the content of Article 449 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on the legality of detaining persons with legal immunity at the crime scene and explain to him in detail the procedure for their actions. But Korovnikov warns: "Guys, I am a member of the Federation Council!"

Looking ahead, we note that the status that Korovnikov was hiding behind worked: they could not deprive Korovnikov of immunity and bring charges.

However, on the day of his arrest, Korovnikov fully admitted his guilt and agreed to cooperate with the investigation. But in fact, the ultimate goal of the investigation was the leadership of the Accounts Chamber and, in particular, the auditor of the department, Sergei Agaptsov. The director of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, Alexander Mikhailik, was going to be exposed as an intermediary in the transfer of a bribe.

“Let’s do this: three for you and two for me ... I’ll share with the boss then”

On the same day, Alexander Korovnikov met with Alexander Mikhailik and handed him 3 million rubles. During the transfer of money between A.V. Korovnikov and A.G. Mikhailik, such a dialogue took place.

Korovnikov:“Look… at this company. The guys brought five for us.”

Mikhailik:“I don't have a solution. I will look at all our documents today…”

Mikhailik:“So what? We are with you now ... I ... only with you ... .. eighteen. Everything. Nothing more. We don't have anything else. Another question is to put them in the plan and fuck them next year. It can be done. Let's do this"

Korovnikov:"Let's. Yes"

Michael: " Let's put them on the plan now. We will give you too. Let's write that we applied late. There is something to grab on to. We have a letter from Glavgosexpertiza. There is a letter from Glavgosexpertiza. They look at this letter at your place - they cling to it, turn to it.

Korovnikov:"Good"

Mikhailik:“And we include them next year. And we do everything"

Korovnikov:"Good"

Michael: " Is it going?

Korovnikov:"Yes. Come on, three for you and two for me.

Michael: " Good"

Korovnikov: " Yes? They gave five. Well, let's cut it in half"

Mikhailik: .... I will share with the boss then ”

Korovnikov:"Yes"

Mikhailik:“I give it to the boss then?”

Korovnikov: "Yes"

Mikhailik: “Right on the street? What are you?!”

Korovnikov: " And what?"

Mikhailik: "Let's go there"

Korovnikov: “…so this is your million…”

Mikhailik: “Well, then we’ll talk with the boss about how to proceed. Good?"

Korovnikov: "Yes. Letter, most importantly, give "

Mikhailik: “The letter came to us, where the volumes are inflated”

Korovnikov: "Yes"

Michael: "... We have a secret book ... they hid it right away ... "

A few days later, the senator will tell in an interview with NTV how he, together with employees of the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, participated in the operational search activities to detain Mikhailik. And at the same time, he will clarify that not only were they never friends, but they had known each other for only a few years (and during the arrest by the Guebs, Korovnikov called the operatives the period of friendship - 25 years).

Later, Korovnikov and Mikhailik put forward a version that the latter just the day before turned to the senator for financial assistance: he allegedly asked Korovnikov for a loan of 3 million rubles to buy another apartment.

The ex-wife of Alexander Mikhailik committed suicide on the night of his arrest. Alexander Mikhailik divorced his wife, having previously written down all the property on her. But they still lived together, but Mikhailik did not have to include information about his wife's income in his declaration of income, expenses, property and property obligations.

What did they roll to

	Alexander Korovnikov,	Alexander Mikhailik, former head of department of the Accounts Chamber
Legal status	victim	the criminal case was closed victim
Professional activity	member of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation (The investigators managed to collect enough evidence to request that the member of the Federation Council be stripped of immunity, but the Prosecutor General's Office denied the investigation this request).	Deputy Head of the Central Administration Federal Service for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Supervision (Rostekhnadzor).
Lawsuits against the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia	Claim for 1 ruble for compensation for non-pecuniary damage for the fact that his name sounded in the media in a negative context	lawsuit for 100 million rubles for his illegal criminal prosecution and the death of his wife

Another interesting point: officials did not disdain to file lawsuits against the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for compensation for non-pecuniary damage. Maybe in this way they intend to compensate for their expenses to pay for the "miracle"?

Andrey Ryazanov, Alena Podlesnykh

The change of leaders in the Accounts Chamber (SP) of Russia led to an active phase of power "cleansing" in this department. On Thursday, the Presnensky District Court of Moscow arrested Alexander Mikhailik, director of the Department for Controlling Expenses for Science, Education, Culture, Sports and the Media of the Accounts Chamber, who is accused by the Russian Investigative Committee of taking a bribe for organizing an unscheduled inspection of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Sport Engineering, which designs football stadiums.

Last Wednesday, at about 20.00, police officers detained the official near his house on Sadovo-Kudrinskaya Street. He told his wife that he would leave the house for a few minutes, but after half an hour his phone was no longer available.

Later it turned out that Mikhailik disappeared after a meeting with a member of the Federation Council from the Novgorod region Alexander Korovnikov, who was on the commission for interaction with the Accounts Chamber. Korovnikov brought him a package with 3 million rubles. Mikhailik was detained with him.

Mikhailik is suspected of taking money for organizing another inspection of the Sport-Engineering Federal State Unitary Enterprise established by Rossport, which is engaged in the reconstruction of stadiums for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, a source in the investigation explained. - It is clear that this enterprise "pumps" serious funds through itself, and is of particular interest to corrupt officials, but in the Mikhailik case it plays a secondary role.

Journalists are in no hurry to provide details that could shed light on Mikhailik's illegal actions, since future defendants in this high-profile case may hide evidence from the investigation. In addition, the law enforcement agencies made it clear that evidence of Mikhailik's guilt was presented to the court, which turned out to be sufficient for prosecution and arrest.

Indeed, a judge must have serious grounds to send an official to a pre-trial detention center for two months.

This did not suit Mikhailik's lawyer Murad Musaev. He posted on his page in social network details of the arrest.

Alyaksandr Mikhailik was detained not far from his house near Mayakovsky Square, Murad Musaev claims. - He was simply set up by Senator Korovnikov, whom Alexander Georgievich had known for more than 20 years. Maybe, we are talking about the "service" that Senator Korovnikov rendered to his former police colleagues. It is also likely that the detention of Alexander Mikhailik is an element of the struggle in the bureaucratic major league.

Murad Musaev does not deny that his client took 3 million rubles.

Major General of the Reserve, holder of countless awards, including the medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, Doctor of Economics, Doctor of Law - he received nine million rubles on a subsidy, and decided to borrow three more from Korovnikov, whom he had known for more than 20 years, - explains the lawyer.

And why did Mikhailik's wife Natalya hang herself when she found out about his detention?

Alexander and Natalya were familiar with kindergarten, and they corresponded every hour with SMS messages, Natalya Mikhailik was looking for Alexander in hospitals and morgues with her son Konstantin, and in the morning the investigator called her and said that her husband was detained for a large bribe, for which you can get 15 years in prison. She then made the decision to end her life. Now Alexander Mikhailik cannot even bury her.

We appealed against the decision to initiate a criminal case to the Moscow Prosecutor's Office, and the decision to place him in custody - to the Moscow City Court.

By the way, this is not the first state of emergency in Mikhailik's family, which is becoming known to the general public. So on March 12, in the center of Moscow, an attack was made on the chief inspector of the direction for control over privatization and management of state property of the Accounts Chamber of Russia, Konstantin Mikhailik. Then the sources in Accounts Chamber linked the attack on their young employee with his professional activities.

Could this also be revenge, blackmail or pressure on his father? Not excluded. Another thing is surprising: on the day of detention, Alexander Mikhailik did not even tell his wife that he was meeting on the street with a senator who was a family friend. So maybe the senator wasn't alone, or did they meet someone else along the way?

One more detail. On Friday, it became known that it was Natalya who insisted on acquiring a more spacious apartment for her husband. She asked her husband to give her a gift by September 28, when she was supposed to be 56 years old. When she learned from the investigator that her husband had taken a bribe, she couldn't help but hang herself the day before her birthday. Here is such a gift.

DIRECT SPEECH

Sergei Stepashin, ex-head of the Accounts Chamber - "KP": "Giving a bribe was pointless"

- Sergey Vadimovich, can you explain how a bribe-taker ended up in your former department?- Let the investigation understand this ... Although for me personally, something is not clear here. It was pointless for Alexander Mikhailik to give a bribe. Especially for the audit of "Sport-engineering". First, Mikhailik would not have solved this issue. Even an auditor finds this inconvenient: audits of the Accounts Chamber are carried out strictly according to plan, and there are no unscheduled ones here. Even if you give a hundred million, it won't help. Secondly, we already check this organization every year - why else would we do this outside the plan?

- Then how to explain all this?- Hard to say. Maybe there's some kind of game here? Against the backdrop of stagnation in the Accounts Chamber - one leader left, the other is just getting on track ...
