If you believe the sources of NT , no one really knows the true biography of Alexei Dyumin: “Due to his proximity to Putin, he was always under secrets.” And even the Hero of Russia and the Order of Courage Dyumin received the president’s secret decrees for some special operations to destroy terrorists.

Dossier NT : Alexey Gennadievich Dyumin was born on August 28, 1972 in Kursk. In 1994 he graduated from the Voronezh Higher Military Engineering School of Radio Electronics (VVIURE). In 1995 - a service in the FSO, then in the Presidential Security Service.

On December 24, 2015, he was appointed Deputy Minister of Defense and became part of the board of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Eyes and ears

According to the source, in recent years, it was Dyumin de facto who led the Presidential Security Service, while General Viktor Zolotov, who headed the service for thirteen years, since 2000, increasingly performed ceremonial functions and headed the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in 2014.

In 2014, Dyumin was sent to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to command special operations (SPO): he took an active part in the accession of Crimea to Russia and as if personally removed Viktor Yanukovych from the peninsula of the Ukrainian President.

“Dyumin is a very good coordinator between the army, the FSB, GRU and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the period of acute situations,” an employee of the Ministry of Defense told the NT correspondent on the basis of anonymity. “And he promptly reported everything upstairs.” - "Do you want to say that the general was the eyes and ears of Putin in the Ministry of Defense?" - "Undoubtedly." It is not surprising that the army was very cool to Dumin.

Night service

In addition to military service, the specialytant coordinated the work of the SKA hockey club and at one time was listed as an adviser to Gennady Timchenko, who sponsor the St. Petersburg team.

However, Dyumin himself plays the goalkeeper in the NHL gala matches, where President Vladimir Putin, Minister of Defense Sergey Shoigu, the Governor of the Moscow Region Andrei Vorobyov, ex-minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Rashid Nurgaliev, as well as businessmen from the immediate environment of the president-Arkady Rotenberg and Gennady Timchenko drive the puck.

Supporters of conspiracy theories, however, immediately suggested that Putin was watching Dyumin as a potential successor to solve the 2018 problem

On December 24, 2015, Dyumin was appointed Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation and awarded the re -religious standard. In the military department, he was supposed to oversee the Department of Construction, Housing, Property Relations, Expert Department, Main Military Medical Administration. However, in this position, he worked a little over a month (minus New Year's holidays) and he was unexpectedly sent to lead the Tula region. The former governor, the founder of the Seventh Continent trading network and billionaire Vladimir Gruzdev, who was considered the creature of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, officially left of his own free will “in connection with family circumstances.”

Conspiracy theory

What caused the general’s rapid transfer to Tula is still unclear. Indeed, the military-industrial complex is today the main engine for the development of the region, and probably Dyumin owns many types of modern small arms. However, this helps little in solving the issue of current pipes and freezing batteries that, together with other problems of housing and communal services, is the main headache of any governor. Supporters of conspiracy theories, however, immediately suggested that Putin considers Dyumin as a potential successor to solve the 2018 problem, when the current president would have to be decided: to leave or stay. Dyumin is personally devoted to the president’s adjutant on special assignments, he, as they say, was sleeping in the same house with the president in Novo-Ogarevo, is ready to solve non-trivial tasks-he took Yanukovych from Crimea, possesses some knowledge in the field of international politics-he read his dissertation at least, and besides, he will receive skills in micro-management in the next two years-he will receive his skills. Technologies with which Putin runs Russia. It is impossible not to notice: Boris Yeltsin began to sort through his possible successors in the spring of 1998, 2 years before the departure. And if the version of conspiracy therapists has reason, then Putin enters the same two -year marathon: the finish in March 2018. Unless, of course, this finish will be.

According to another sources, our hero was not in the federal security service from the street-supposedly by the patronage of his father, Colonel of the Medical Service, Gennady Dyumin, who was part of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation (1992-1996) Pavel Grachev in the 1990s. Dyumin Sr. was a sparring partner for tennis of the Minister of Defense and worked as a deputy supply of the head of the Central Military Clinical Hospital named after P.V. Mandryka.

After Grachev’s resignation, friendship did not stop, and the supplier was quite often seen in the retinue of the former head of the Ministry of Defense. So, in February 1998, in the Ryazan region, Dyumin and Grachev got into an accident, which was immediately classified. According to the official version, the ex-Minister of Defense was late at night to visit the mother-in-law living in the village of Polyana. On the way, they picked up the 33-year-old Elena Musatova standing on the side of the road, and after a few minutes the Ford brought into the ditch and he rolled over. As a result, the woman died, and Grachev and Dyumin with numerous injuries were taken to intensive care.

Whether the punishment was punished and where high -ranking passengers rushed in the middle of the night, it was not possible to find out.

Subsequently, putting on the general stars, the military doctor Dyumin was engaged in the procurement of medications for the hospital. Mandryki. Along the way, he headed LLC D and D Pharma (the company was liquidated in 2007) and collaborated with the French pharmaceutical corporation Sanofi, known for his close business relations with the Skolkovo Foundation, Rusnano and the Endocrinological Scientific Center on Dmitry Ulyanov Street, where President Putin Maria Faissen works (see NT No. 3 dated. February 1, 2016).

Since 2013, General Gennady Dyumin heads the 4th department of the Main Military Medical Department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and has been participating in the Tennis veterans league tournaments.

Brother behind him

While the presidential guard Dyumin was moving down the service stairs in the FSO SBP in business in business, and very successful, his younger brother Artem: at first he worked in the representative office of the same French Sanof, then the general director of the TPK Prodmarket and LLC Turbo, since 2014 - LLC MFK, located at 14 Moskvichi, Moskvichi. They know: this street goes from Kitay-Gorod to the Vasilyevsky descent of the Kremlin and is under the control of the FSO.

According to the metropolitan media, the Prodmarket trade and industrial company is the only contractor and developer of the five-star hotel Zaryadye, which is part of the park under construction on the site of the demolished Rossiya Hotel.

The business partner of Artyom Dyumin is indicated by Oleg Golublav, whose father holds the position of head of the office of Vladimir Putin.

Until recently, the famous lawyer and investor Dmitry Shumkov, who unexpectedly committed suicide in December, was hanging in his office in the Federation’s tower, until recently. According to our source, "Shumkov quarreled with his business partners and friendly officials who helped him in the implementation of key development projects, and was in complete despair." So, in particular, the same sources indicate an unsuccessful purchase of Shumkov for $ 50 million 91.5 % of the shares of the Olympic sports complex. Before the deal, the businessman stated that the second Madison Square Garden was going to make the Olympic. However, the widely advertised project turned out to be unprofitable and did not find the necessary funds for reconstruction. Now, according to the SPARK-Interfax information base, the Olympic SK is headed by Artem Dyumin.

So the former guard of President Alexei Dyumin, who suddenly became the acting governor of the Tula region, although there is no his own economic experience, but there is an extensive business performance of his father and brother. In September 2016, the general will have to take one more, hitherto unknown line - go through the election campaign. So far, there is only one behind him, although a considerable resource is the “great confidence of the president”, as Dyumin himself appreciated his appointment.
