And this one fell out of the window

Among the conspiracy versions that explain the perestroika in the USSR, this story stands apart and stands out and stands out for its paradoxical plausibility. No, this is not about the economy and not about the arms race that depleted the treasury, it was possible to bend for decades. The event, which shocked the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU, was the "murder on Zhdanovskaya" - the incident now forgotten, during which the employees of the metropolitan police scored the KGB officer to death.

In the newspapers, of course, the case was not discussed, the case was immediately classified, but rumors reached. Allegedly, Andropov allegedly Schelokov said that the deceased, this this Afanasyev V.V., killed by the lawyers of the order, was one cost of their entire police ministry - he brought such benefits to his homeland, and Shchelokov did not like this phrase. So, according to the rumors, the enmity between the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB chief, the future Secretary General, began.

Later, in the light of publicity, we saw this story in detail. We learned how the Minister of the Interior, retired and brought to suicide, passed away. How they caught, tried and shot workers of the linear police department No. 5. In short, everyone died, but special drama was given to the incident that the crime was committed by drunk, and both the Chekist and the policemen were in subscription.

He drank at work, celebrating the fast arrival of the New Year, they quit at the place of service. He fell asleep in the subway, and they pushed to his prodpak: sausage, cognac. He presented Xiva, and they did not think anything, habitually the Mordi of the robbed drunk citizen. When they realized that they were threatening to be beaten by an employee of the KGB, they put him in a car, took him out of town, unloaded at the highway and finished it with reinforcement, trying to simulate a household murder.

Then, according to conspiracygists, the collective leadership was realized that the country reached the pen. Whether a joke, in Moscow itself, albeit on the outskirts, bukhic cops of the Gabist is urinating, in which, among other things, the deepest hatred of the social group "Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs" to the social group "KGB employees" is manifested. The state decomposes, the servants of the regime kill each other for rations, and why they drink everything, it is impossible to live like that, comrades, members of the Politburo pronounce in chorus, and after five years a restructuring begins in the country. Pretty convincing version, isn't it?

The mysterious death of the 36-year-old Major General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Boris Kolesnikov is, in many ways, the old story told in a new way. Everything is like something else - both the plot and the fate of the heroes - and if this is a murder, then we can talk about a change of roles in a documentary drama, but in fact what has changed? About competition, reaching fierce enmity between the two departments, we heard in Soviet times, and today, when there is more information, we can state that these relations were again repented to the limit. In addition, it is known that under Brezhnev, such conflicts were extinguished at the level of official instructions forbidden to the police to detain the Chekist, no matter what he committed, and the murder on Zhdanovskaya was a case out of the number.

About other episodes, when the Ministry of Internal Affairs came across the KGB, we know little. Unless from fiction, of course, the Tamizdat, and the peak here was the wonderful story of George Vladimov “ Do not pay attention, maestro ” in which the police, as if unknowingly, muffled over the Chekists and even slightly beat them. “The mistake came out, dad,” said Olezhek, breaking his hands. “These people are not ours, but, as it were, their own.”

Since then, by-laws have not changed, and Generals of Sugrobov and Kolesnikov, who organized an ambush for a “high-ranking FSB officer”, apparently really went against certain secret “legislative acts”. That is, through dummies, a scheme consecrated by a long tradition was offered this employee: to build a “roof” and receive ten thousand dollars monthly. He, as you can understand, approved the usual scheme, and then he was caught, after which the hunt for detectives began. And we do not hear anything else about his work, but quite often we learn about the woeful fate of the defendants, the number of which is constantly growing.

Among them was Major General Kolesnikov, a very important character for the investigation, with whom there were constantly some kind of tragic incidents. In early May, he ended up in a prison hospital, having received a traumatic brain injury. On May 19, his lawyer Sergei Chizhikov, who visited his lawyer, found a “bruise in the whole left cheekbone”, and even then the defender spoke that "he was seriously afraid for his health and life." On June 16, Kolesnikov " fell out of the window during interrogation ."

There are many versions, but it makes no sense to discuss them: we cannot say anything with confidence. We can only ask questions, carefully looking for answers to them. General showdowns are the Kremlin level of investigation, and here the first question arises: why was such a lightning -fast reaction to "provoking a bribe" a Chekist accused of roofing? Another question: why was the Main Directorate for Combating Economic Crimes and Combating Corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation actually defeated, where all the defendants served? Why is the investigation conducted by lawlessness, and defiantly, and if Kolesnikov was not killed, but brought to suicide, then why? In order to inspire the police once and for all, that they have no right to start cases to the Gabists under any circumstances? And if the answer to the last question is obvious, then what new in connection with this learned about the state in which they live?

They learned that they live in a Chekist state where anyone can provoke and detain anyone, but not the FSB officers who are the owners of life by default. But this is not news. The news is that the police did not fully realize this, believing that they live in a police state. Or, understanding everything, consciously went to a desperate risk, which was dictated by endless hostility towards the victim and his office. Or did someone give them a team at the very top, and then changed his mind? They substituted and caught a Chekist as a simple citizen or a simple, but a lot of imagining a cop about himself, and then it finally turned out that the citizen was not easy for him. Such a citizen came across to them, who is capable of connecting his department and not alien to him by the president, to transplant all his persecutors, and even with excess. And not only transplant.

As in the early 80s of the last century, they again devour each other, and it is very alarming, but partly a encouraging signal. This means that the system is invoyed and the most faithful servants of the regime are waging a fratricidal war based on purely departmental mutual hatred. If we survive before perestroika, we will learn the whole truth about the death of a young general.
