The former head of the Security Service of the First President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, Alexander Korzhakov, in an interview with the Moscow Komsomolets, refuted the accusations that Tatyana Yumasheva’s daughter Yeltsin put forward on her blog. He also expressed doubts that Yumasheva writes on the blog herself. According to Korzhakov, she is “tongue -tied”, and her husband, the former head of the administration of Yeltsin Valentin Yumashev, edits the records.
In particular, Korzhakov said that he detained the employees of the campaign headquarters of Yeltsin Listovsky and Evstafyev, who tried to take 500 thousand dollars from the White House in a photocopy, on behalf of the president himself. According to Korzhakov, "rumors went that the money intended for the elections is stealing." Yumasheva claimed that with the help of a high -profile detention, the head of the security service wanted to "curry up" before the president and eliminate the intensified competitors.
In addition, Korzhakov denied Yumasheva’s words that he, leaving, “stole all the financial documents of the election campaign”, which were then published. According to him, in his books he made public unexpected documents that were at his disposal when he was a member of the election council. The documents are not financial, the current State Duma deputy claims, and he never engaged in financial control.
Korzhakov also made it clear that he did not take the president’s daughter seriously and does not intend to sue her.
To the question of the publication why Yumashev writes about Roman Abramovich well, and not very much about Berezovsky, Korzhakov replied that when Yumasheva became an adviser to Yeltsin on the image, Abramovich “brought normal such a suitcase with dollars directly to the Kremlin every month”. “I say that they wore about 180-200 thousand, because the suitcase that was dragged is about so much. I’m not saying that she was worn a million every month - for a million a suitcase is needed more,” Korzhakov said. He added that he was ready to prove these words in court.
Tatyana Yumasheva began to conduct her blog in December 2009. In it, she from time to time publishes her memories of the 90s.
