Putin: I'm not afraid of attempts

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is not afraid of attempts, because he “lives with this since 1999,” RIA Novosti reports. “People who are in my position should live with this. Such things should never be reflected, they never interfered and will not interfere,” Putin said, commenting on reports of the prevented attempt.

According to Putin, he was always aware of the attempts preparing for him. “At one time, a special forces were created for such shares. There are no other ones, but they are far away,” Putin said. Putin refused to intend the protection of the country's leadership in connection with the news of the next attempt to attempt. "Why?" he asked the journalists. “What to do with it. Listen to me, if you live constantly and be afraid with it, then you can’t live, it will be impossible to live. Let them be afraid of us,” Putin Interfax quotes.

Earlier, spokesman Putin Dmitry Peskov said that the message about the prepared attempt did not affect "either the mood or the working rhythm" Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. According to him, Putin knows about each attempt to attempt, but this "never leads to the fact that he changes his work schedule: he does not refuse either planned trips or visits to certain objects." “Unfortunately, we still have enemies. These are those who counteract, and with weapons in the hands of what Putin is working on - namely, the full stabilization of the situation in the North Caucasus, in other regions of the country. The preservation of Russia. These people do not only oppose, they use various illegal actions. These are bandits. And when Putin says that the struggle continues, this is not a solid statement, he knows perfectly well, what is being discussed,” - it is a question of it. Peskov said.

On the eve of Peskov called the statements blasphemous that the story with the prevention of attempt was election. "Given the seriousness of the impending attempt on Vladimir Putin, taking into account the fact that the really serious danger received confirmation during the preliminary proceedings, such statements are at least blasphemous," Peskov said. “The fact that the information was published right now is easily explained by the fact that the preparation was conducted not only in Moscow, but also in Ukraine. In addition, it took some time for all preliminary checks, which, unfortunately, confirmed the seriousness, the danger that existed in relation to the chairman of the government,” Peskov said.

According to Channel One, who reported the prevention of attempt, since 2001 at least four attempts have been prepared in Putin. Meanwhile, reports about the alleged attempt first appeared in February 2000 - before the first presidential elections with Putin's participation. Then it was reported that the attempt was planned during Putin’s trip to the funeral of Anatoly Sobchak. In October 2003 - a few months before the election - it was reported that Boris Berezovsky was allegedly involved in the organization of another attempt.

In October 2007, reports appeared again about the impending attempt on Putin. This time it was allegedly planned during his visit to Tehran. Putin did not cancel the trip. In February 2008, it was already reported about the impending attempt on Dmitry Medvedev, who at that moment was a presidential candidate.

Finally, in March 2008, the newspaper "Your Day" reported that on the day of the presidential election, the FSB prevented the attempt on Putin and Medvedev. The alleged crime contractor - a 24 -year -old native of Tajikistan, Shahwalad Osmanov - was detained a few hours before the planned terrorist attack. According to the publication, Putin and Medvedev planned to kill during a concert on Red Square.

On Monday, Channel One said that from the testimony of persons on the international wanted list and detained in early February in Odessa, it became known that immediately after the presidential election in Russia, they prepared an attempt on Putin. In the final program "Time" a large plot on this topic came out. The official representative of the Federal Security Service Sergey Devyatov told RIA Novosti that the Russian intelligence services received information about a possible terrorist attack on the country's leadership in January. On January 4, an explosion thundered in one of the Odessa apartments. On January 6, the Security Service of Ukraine sent an urgent telegram to its colleagues from the FSB of Russia, since among the things they found parts of explosive devices, the report of Channel One said.

As a result of that explosion, Ruslan Madayev died, and Ilya Pyanzin, who survived, said that they flew from the Arab Emirates through Turkey with clear instructions from representatives of Doku Umarov. The first channel showed the personnel interrogation personnel, as well as an interview with the detainee in February, Adam Osmaev. He says that the end goal of the group was "to try to make an attempt on Putin Premier," while "the deceased was ready to go to a suicide bomber."

Together with Adam Osmaev, his father, Aslanbek Osmaev, was arrested in early February. However, he seems to have nothing to do with the preparation of the attempt, so that the man has already been freed from the Odessa investigative insulator, Kommersant writes. "Investigators found out that Adam Aslanbek, like other relatives, has nothing to do with the affairs, which is why he was released from custody," said Amin Osmaev, Uncle Adam, as well as the former chairman of the Supreme Council of Chechnya and ex-member of the Russian Federation of the Russian Federation. It is noteworthy that in 2000, Amin Osmaev even headed the election headquarters of Vladimir Putin in Chechnya.

As stated in the report of Channel One, it was Osmaev Jr., who had long lived abroad in London for a long time, was a liaison and instructor of terrorists in Odessa. He had to train them and transport them to Moscow. The investigators found the whole training plan in his laptop. “Among the files are the video with the passage of the motorcade, in particular Putin. So that there is a concept of how the guarded person sits down, how many cars are accompanied by, from different angles, from different streets. That is, people studied not on one example, but an FSB operational officer explained. According to him, Osmaev indicated to the operatives the place of explosive caches near Kutuzovsky Prospekt in Moscow - a highway, according to which Putin’s motorcade travels to the Kremlin and the Government House from his suburban residence. “There would be a decent explosion. Nice to turn the cargo car,” the employee said.
