Medvedev demanded to punish the casino guilty of the roofing of Moscow Region, but promised and dismiss the security forces who put pressure on the investigation through the media. The president acted as an arbiter of security forces. It was believed that this role is more than Vladimir Putin. It seems that Medvedev is right.
President Dmitry Medvedev made a number of ambivalent statements, commenting on the situation with the war of the security forces in the suburbs, which began in the course of the case of the roofing of the underground casinos. “It is impossible to violate the constitution and draw conclusions about the guilt or innocence of persons without announcements of the court sentence. Moreover, it is unacceptable to put pressure on the investigation, attracting the media. Those who will be noticed in this will be dismissed, ” he said at a coordination meeting of law enforcement managers. “The key task of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the prosecution authorities, the Investigative Committee and the FSB is the opposition of corruption,” the head of state said. “This work should be continued on a significantly more significant scale, the work needs to be done, it is sequentially, carefully, without creating an excess resonance,” Medvedev said (a quote for ITAR -TASS).
Thus, Medvedev stood the de facto for the prosecutor general Yuri Chaika, the department of which was attacked by criticism of literally all the media, in connection with the investigation of the case of the “roofing underground casinos near Moscow” (see the prosecutor’s shame ). Pointing to the main task of the bodies, Medvedev called on the security forces not to engage in interdepartmental confrontation.
Of course, Medvedev could not limit himself to the "prohibition of resonance." “I can’t help but say a few words regarding the investigation that has begun on the facts of the illegal organization of gambling business in the Moscow region. Laws - I think that all those sitting in the hall understand this - should be united for everyone, and those who transgress them must be liable regardless of their position, wherever they work - in the prosecutor's office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB and so on, ”the president said.
The president sent the President and the direct positive message to the Prosecutor General. Medvedev confirmed that “the current reporting system does not reflect the real picture of the state of crime,” and recalled that from January 1, 2012, the functions of conducting state unified statistical accounting of information on registered crimes and their disclosure were transferred to the Prosecutor General. The president also demanded a separate report from Yuri Chaika about the owners of Domodedovo Airport. “Have you figured out Domodedovo? Who is the owner? " - asked the president from the Seagull. “It seems to be known who is the owner, but they begin to check - the owner is hidden behind the structure of beneficial possessions, and this is the largest transport hub where a huge number of aircraft sits!” - declared. Medvedev asked the prosecutor general: "Is there an answer?" The seagull nodded in the affirmative, after which the president agreed to hear his report without the presence of journalists.
The press, thus, was sent to the signal not to be zealous of prosecutors (additional introductory television channels and government agencies, presumably, will follow), and other security forces will not be drained beyond the measure of competitors. In other words: the president, if he did not try to stop the war of the security forces, at least he tried to transfer the conflict into a more calm direction. It is more interesting, of course, how constructive conversation was the president with the security forces during the closed part of the meeting, but there is a suspicion that the open conflict of the prosecutor's office and the police with the UK and the FSB, the escalation of which began after the shake, will try to settle.
Vladimir Putin (in the status of the President) in response to the article of the ex-head of the State Aircount, Viktor Cherkesov once spoke about the harmfulness of the showdown of security forces to a public level. Cherkesov then accused the security forces of the security forces of omiting. In an article published in Kommersant, Cherkessov also mentioned the case of “three whales” and admitted that among the security forces there was a war for influence and resources. He stated that in the structures of the FSB people with business interests who violate the “norms” of the “Chekist community”, provoking the war of “all against all”. Putin said that it was so worthless, then raised Cherkesov, but already literally through the influence of Cherkesov weakened Circassov under Medvedev headed the de facto that did not work de facto, and in June 2010 was quietly fired from there. However, the enemy of Cherkesov, the ex-head of the FSB, Nikolai Patrushev, also lost his post and was exiled to a slightly meaningful security council.
That is, public streaks in the power environment are traditionally perceived by the supreme power as a threat. In this case, the side of the Prosecutor General’s Office was accepted to balance the warring parties (the prosecutors are clearly losing), and then to turn the matter and conclude the world to the mildly. The President, who plays the role of an arbiter of law enforcement agencies, is a picture known in Yeltsinsky, in Putin's times. Here, the brutal style of both leaders somewhat contrasts with Dmitry Medvedev in a more intelligent manner, but the real president has to react to the already departmental wars, waged with the participation of state media.
Here it just seems that the conflict can quite play into the hands of Medvedev, who publicly first acted as an arbiter of security forces. Which symbolizes the strengthening of the role of Medvedev. It was previously believed that Vladimir Putin is more responsible for the relationship between power corporations in tandem: Medvedev did not withdraw the leaders of the power structures, content with the dismissal of retirement of generals and individual officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs (like the Moscow chief of police Vladimir Pronin, who was scandaling with the Miner Miner Evsyukov).
And the recent Security Council in Sochi, where the president salted, and Vladimir Putin was silent nearby, and today's meeting (and a little more earlier than the December meeting in Ryazan) testify to the real or visible strengthening of presidential control over the power block as a whole. The situation favors this - the Manezhnaya Square, the attacks and the “war of the security forces” set the relationships between law enforcement agencies in the dangerous position of the outbreak of a total war. If the arbitration of Medvedev is successful, the president will be able to approve the image of the “real leader”, and not the “locomotor”.
