In the chair of the FSO director , Yevgeny Murov spent 16 years. In fact, this service was created precisely under Murov, who had previously held the post of deputy chief of the FSB department in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region for three years, and even earlier the regional divisions of the intelligence services in St. Petersburg. Murov’s powers in recent years have been extended several times, but it was obvious to his colleagues that Murov should resign due to his health state. The retirement age of the army general contributed to the care and retirement age of the army. Talking about the upcoming dismissal of Murov has gone at least since 2010, but the change of guard occurred only in May 2016, which contributed to a criminal case against the St. Petersburg businessman Dmitry Mikhalchenko , accused of smuggling. Mikhalchenko is one of the most influential prisoners in modern Russia, and the illegal import of goods that the investigation speaks of is one of many of his business interests. Mikhalchenko, according to sources in law enforcement, was closely connected with Murov, so that the detention of a businessman was reflected in the seventy -year head of the FSO. Without the work of Murov, he did not remain long: the government nominated him for the Board of Directors of Zarubezhneft.

In the place of Yevgeny Murov, the president appointed Colonel Dmitry Kochnev , who until recently led the main unit in the FSO - the Security Service of the Head of State. In the struggle for the post of director of the FSO, Kochnev went around the first deputy director Oleg Klimentyev , under which, according to sources in law enforcement agencies, and all the latest personnel permits in the department were held: the FSO left the first deputy director Alexander Belyakov and deputy director Alexander Lashchuk . Victor Tulupov was appointed to the place of one of them, confirm in the FSO. At the end of July, the Major General and previously the president’s adjutant, Alexei Rubezhnoy , was appointed the new head of the security service of the president.
Kochnev himself has been working in the FSO for 14 years, but does not have a special political weight. Kochneva’s wife Marina Medvedeva is a member of the Board of Directors of Sibura. Among the wives of the security forces, she is in second place in earnings, her income for 2015 amounted to 58.1 million rubles.

Deputy Director of the SVR, State Secretary Sergei Vinokurov worked with the current director of the service since 2004, when Mikhail Fradkov served as prime minister, and Vinokurov was his assistant. Then Vinokurov became the head of the Presidential Directorate for Interregional and Cultural Relations with foreign countries, and in 2012 went into reconnaissance. The director of the SVR had six deputies, and the role of Vinokurov, obviously, was not so great as to consider him indispensable, his former colleagues say: the heads of departments and departments occupy the key positions in the department.

In recent years, Viktor Voronin has headed one of the most influential departments in the FSB economic security service-the KO Directorate, which is engaged in counterintelligence security of the credit and financial sphere. The Office of the FSB was attached to the same unit, which fought with drugs, smuggling and organized crime. Informally, in the zone of influence of Voronin there were two more departments of the SEB FSB - “P” and “T”, which work in the field of industry and transport, the interlocutors in the special service say.
Voronin is considered a person close to the former head of the FSKN Viktor Ivanov . In 2004, Voronin headed the FSKN Office in the North-Western Federal District and was subordinate to Viktor Cherkesov , with whom it was also customary to associate Ivanov. In addition, Voronin is considered a man of ex-head of the FSO Evgeny Murov . Sources in law enforcement agencies argue that it was with him, and not with the director of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, Voronin preferred to consult on difficult working issues.
Voronin could leave his post back in 2010. Then the resignation was discussed in connection with several large criminal cases, for example, on the supply of smuggled clothing from China to the military unit of the FSB in the suburbs and on smuggled goods in the Cherkizov market that fell into Russia through the Baltic Customs. However, then Voronin was strengthened. He resigned on June 10, 2016 following a large -scale audit in the FSB SBF. He lost his post for several reasons: his subordinates were involved in a loud criminal case of smuggling , businessman Dmitry Mikhalchenko , with whom Voronin was interacted, and his patron of Murov retired, was under arrest.

Sergey Korolev is the current head of the FSB Office and the Chief Initiator of all the latest rearrangements in the department. It is his subordinates who oversee the case of smuggling, in the materials of which the subordinates of Viktor Voronin are mentioned. It was after the intervention that Korolev behind bars was businessman Dmitry Mikhalchenko , which provoked the resignation of Evgeny Murov . And it was Korolev, whom the colleagues characterize as a careerist, who was the main candidate for the post of new head of the FSB economic security service, says an interlocutor close to the USB.
On the evening of Friday July 8, it became known that from the confrontation with Yakovlev, Korolev came out the winner: his opponent, according to the presidential decree, retired, and the head of the USB was appointed the head of the FSB economic security service.

Yuri Yakovlev is the current head of the FSB SEB. His position was shaken after the first audit conducted in his department by employees of the FSB USB. According to its results, Viktor Voronin went to resign, but Yakovlev refused to leave his post, motivating this by the fact that he always paid attention to the leadership of Voronin and pointed out his shortcomings. In order to send Yakovlev to retire, a re -check began in the FSB SEB, which is unprecedented in the history of Lubyanka. This time, its own security is studied by employees of the P and T departments. According to the interlocutor in the FSB, the audit will end on July 15, according to its results, Yakovlev will retire, and Korolev will take his place.
On the evening of Friday, July 8, the president signed a decree on permutations in the FSB: Yakovlev retired, Korolev took his place. According to the interlocutors in the special service, the new head of the SBB will be presented to the personnel until July 16.
Oleg Feoktistov - Deputy Sergey Korolev for the USB FSB, but it is difficult to call them friends. Feoktistov personally oversaw a criminal case against the heads of the Main Directorate of Economic Security and Countering the Corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Generals Denis Svugrobov and Boris Kolesnikov , for whom it all ended in arrests; For Kolesnikov - suicide, and for the guinabipk - a reduction in the central apparatus by three times. Under the control of Feoktistov, who was called the case of Sugrobov and Kolesnikov, they called the “ficus”, there is also a case of receiving a bribe, excited against the governor of the Kirov region Nikita Belykh , the special services and interlocutor, familiar with the investigation of the White case, note. Feoktistov is the main candidate for the post of head of the USB in the event of an increase in the queen, but Korolev himself does not want such an increase in his deputy.
Ivan Tkachev-Head of the 6th Service of the USB FSB. The fifth -legendary unit, created in 2008, consists of 35 people. The order on the creation was personally signed by Korolev , who is considered a person close to Igor Sichin . On the account of the 6th service-three governors arrested over the past year and a half: Vyacheslav Gaiser , Alexander Khoroshavin and Nikita Belykh . The same operatives detained the subordinates of Sugrobov and Kolesnikov and took the mayor of Vladivostok Igor Pushkarev . As the source in the FSB suggests, if the appointment of the queen takes place, then Tkachev can jump over several steps after a few steps and lead control “K”.

Viktor Ivanov, once the most influential security official of the country, has been sitting without work for three months. After the liquidation of the FSKN as an independent structure, he had no place in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where some anti -drug divisions of the department passed. On the other hand, Ivanov did not seek to become a subordinate to the head of the police, Vladimir Kolokoltsev : for him this would be an obvious decrease in both in status and authority. At least until May, Ivanov ruined the accumulated vacations, and then began to lobby for one of the oldest ideas that exists in the Russian law enforcement system - the unification of the investigation. The new Investigative Committee must enter the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the TFR. It is unlikely that Ivanov will be able to realize this concept in the near future: the opponents of this are both in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and in the Investigative Committee, and such large -scale permutations in several departments will not be held on the eve of the elections. However, the combination of the investigation may again be remembered by 2018. Sources close to the leadership of the FSB, by the way, argue that by this time the chairman of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin may lose the post.

Due to the case of the St. Petersburg businessman Dmitry Mikhalchenko, he did not strengthen in the chair of the head of the FMS and Konstantin Romodanovsky. Sources in law enforcement agencies retell the version of the resignation as follows: the businessman, seeing that the FSB delayed his acquaintances, began to appeal to everyone who could help him in this situation, and thus literally “handed over the people they turned to” - by that time, the sources with the course of the investigation were explained for six months, as the operatives listened. Romodanovsky also failed that Mikhalchenko discovered a business related to the services of the FMS. At a meeting with the president where the FMS was announced, Romodanovsky was not present. Officially-due to health problems. He has not yet found a new place, but in his environment they do not exclude that Romodanovsky will receive an offer from the presidential administration.

Dmitry Mironov came to the post of Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs at the end of December 2015 with one of the most problematic posts in the department: he held the post of head of the Main Directorate of Economic Security and Combating Corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs since the previous leaders of this unit - Generals Denis Sugrobov and Boris Kolesnikov found themselves. A native of the FSO, Mironov became a compromise figure for management, who turned out to be in the middle of a war with the FSB, the interlocutors in the police say. Mironov had to reform the guemalessus, clean the ranks and return the department one of the key roles in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika saved in his post, contrary to the scandal with the business imperia of his sons and to the attention of the Investigative Committee, whose employees were, as part of the Mass Murder in the village of Kushchevskaya, were checked by the firms of the family of tsapov and Tsepovyaz (then they were mentioned in their investigation by Alexei Navalny and the corruption Foundation). The reassignment of the Seagull, the interlocutor explains in the apparatus of the Prosecutor General’s Office, took place largely because the president is not interested in appointing a new person for such an important post on the eve of the elections. The rival of the Seagull, however, was very influential - this is the current head of the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Alexander Savenkov . Savenkov - a native of the prosecutor’s office (the former chief military prosecutor and opponent of the then Minister of Defense Sergei Ivanov ) and a supporter of the idea of a united investigation, says a source in the FSB.
