Loud resignation at the Ministry of Internal Affairs: a lot of noise from nothing

Generals, to the exit! Dmitry Medvedev gave Rashida Nurgaliev a month. After this period, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs must finally submit a clear plan for the reform of his department to the president. At the same time, the head of state indicatively dismissed two deputy minister and fifteen generals. That this is another PR ridge or an attempt to start the reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs-thought The New Times thought
At a meeting of the College of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Dmitry Medvedev deprived the Ministry of Internal Affairs of a number of powers, promised to conduct a “necessary rotation” and said: “Within a month, the Minister of Internal Affairs should provide me with a detailed plan for improving the ministry.” The Ministry of Internal Affairs will no longer be engaged in the expulsion of foreign persons and stateless persons from the country, medical inspections have been withdrawn from the ministry, and police lost the right to conduct a technical inspection of vehicles. Rashid Nurgaliev so far resisted his post, like key players of the system he built.

Dismissed from the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Nikolai Ovchinnikov
Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arkady Zholev
Head of the Internal Affairs Directorate in the Tomsk Region Major General Victor Grechman
Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tuye Major General Viktor Lesnyak
Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of the Interior in the Krasnodar Territory Major General Boris Martynov

For Dymovsky he answered

The most noticeable of the retirees was the Deputy Minister Arkady Svylev, who oversaw the actions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the North Caucasus. The decision on his resignation was suggested after the division of the Southern Federal District into the Southern Federal District and the North Caucasus Federal District, I obviously could not cope with the situation in Dagestan and Ingushetia, and even after the cancellation of the regime in Chechnya (the leadership of the operational headquarters was entrusted to the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Republic) the need for such a position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Experts also associate his resignation with the appointment of Alexander Khloponin to the North Caucasus, who is designed to solve the problems of the region with economic methods, and not by power, as Nucleev preferred to do. At the same time, Colonel-General may well continue to work in the apparatus of the Embassy of Khloponin. Together with Khoshelev, those with whom he worked even before the division of the Southern Federal District also lost their posts: the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Karachay-Cherkessia, Major General Nikolai Osyak, the deputy chief of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs in the Krasnodar Territory, Major General Boris Martynov and the head of the Main Directorate of the Interior in the Rostov Region, Lieutenant General Alexei Belozerov. Martynov, most likely, lost his chair due to the scandal around the Novorossiysk Major Alexei Dymovsky, while Belozerov’s dismissal suggested for a long time: he reached the deadline (60 years) four years ago.

The failure of the Siberians

More mass was the cleansing in the ranks of the Siberian General. Back in July 2009, Colonel General Nikolai Ovchinnikov, who oversaw the activities of the internal affairs bodies in the Siberian Federal District, flew to Ulan-Ude, where he praised the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Buryatia and his head of Viktor Susyura, noting only insufficient effectiveness in the fight against corruption. In October 2009, Susura was already taken into custody on suspicion of smuggling of goods from Turkey. By the decision of Medvedev, on February 18, he was dismissed. Following Susury, the deputy minister of Ovchinnikov also lost their posts, * * The resigned Nikolai Ovchinnikov gained fame in the mid-90s, when he actively fought with the Uralmashevsky criminal group. In 2000, he was elected State Duma deputy. Returning to the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was a member of the government commission for Eurovision, led the Tok show “Big Jury” on the Star Channel. and the head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Siberian Federal District, Colonel General Yuri Skordin. The resignation of the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate in the Tomsk region, Major General Viktor Grechman, cannot be called a few weeks ago a few weeks ago after the murder of journalist Konstantin Popov (he wrote about this crime of The New Times in No. 3 of February 1, 2010). The dismissal of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Major General Viktor Lesnyak was also expected: recently, a local policeman shot a schoolboy, for which he was convicted on February 11 and three months in prison. Such a soft sentence to the killer killer caused a wide resonance in the media.

General Masses

In order for a message about mass cleansing in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to sound as impressive as possible, the president added to the list to the obviously allegedly those who either wanted to leave their post, or should have already left for a length of service. Thus, the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Belgorod Region, Major General Vladimir Aleshin (60 years old) and the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate in the Bryansk region, Mikhail Klimov (66 years old) lost their posts. The deputy chief of the Main Directorate of the Interior in Moscow, Major General Viktor Cherkashin, according to some reports, he himself had been resigned for a long time and even submitted the corresponding report. As for Lieutenant General Vladimir Shlemin, who led the Department of Ensuring the Law and Order in the closed territories and regime facilities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he had nothing to lead before the resignation: the disbandment of the Department turned out to be almost the first step in Medvedev’s reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Empty exhaust

Beautifully and loudly furnished generally seized, thus, can hardly be considered a really serious personnel rotation, the need for a collegium, said the president. Rather, pensioners and those who really inherited from the system were simply cleaned from the system. On the agenda, another question: will the Kremlin suit the concept of the reform that Rashid Nurgaliev will present to Medvedev a month later, and if he does not suit - will the head of state decide on new personnel permutations?

Appointed from AP

Assigned in the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Major General Sergei Bulavin	Sergey Gerasimov

The president did not limit himself alone. Rashida Nurgaliev by the Medvedev decree was appointed two new deputies. Both at the time of the decree worked in the presidential administration: Sergey Gerasimov-Deputy Head of the Presidential Directorate for Constitutional Rights of Citizens, Major General Sergey Bulavin (he came from the police), the head of the Department of Legal Support for the Law Enforcement Agencies of the Main Legal Administration of the Presidential Administration. Obviously, the struggle for the place of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs between the White House and the Kremlin reached a new round. The president managed to introduce into the office on the Zhitniy, where the headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is located, their watching. And on this - so far - that's it.

From the material "Racon slaves" , The New Times No. 3
dated February 1, 2010
“What does riot police do in Chechnya in peacetime? Protects the authorities. Have you seen on TV this zealous Svyelev (Deputy Minister Arkady Svylev oversees the actions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Caucasus. - The New Times)? Nobody wants to kill him, and he has three guards. He barely walks. It must be dismissed for a long time. The dacha faded away to himself, and his fighters are also eaten by Rolton. And with Kadyrov drinks cognac. /.../ Vyacheslav Haustov received a general on a train. We were driving to Chechnya and someone upstairs, apparently, said: "Haustov went to fight." The train settled on the train, overslept the night, the next day they give out vodka, they say: “General received Haustov. He goes to war. " He is already walking in general uniforms. We come, cried, meeting him. Hugged like friends. Switching gave him a Karakulevoy hat. Two generals sat down, drank cognac. One complained how hard it was in Moscow, the other is how bad in Chechnya. ”
