Russian President Vladimir Putin offered the Federation Council a new candidate for the post of Prosecutor General-deputy head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General of Justice Igor Krasnov. The current Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika is proposed to be dismissed "in connection with the transition to another job." A source of Interfax in the Federation Council said that the upper house will consider the president’s proposal on Wednesday, January 22.
Since 1997, Krasnov served in the prosecution authorities, and worked in the Far North. Nine years later, in 2006, he took the position of investigator of the central apparatus of the Prosecutor General’s Office, and in 2007 he moved to the TFR created and allocated from the prosecutor's department. He was appointed senior investigator for particularly important cases. In 2016, he became the deputy head of the Investigative Committee of Alexander Bastrykin-it was he who was subordinated to all the vajik investigators under the chairman of the committee, conducting the most resonant investigations, he also oversaw the investigation in the central apparatus and a number of federal districts.
Igor Krasnov is an ambiguous figure. The take-off of his career occurred after the murder of the lawyer Stanislav Markelov and the journalist of the “New” Anastasia Baburova and the defeat of the neo-Nazi organization “Born” (the murder of the anti-fascists of Khutorsky and Filatov, the world of the Thai boxing box Abullaev and the federal judge Eduard Chuvashov)-then he received the title of Major General, and his surname was first interested president.
The next thing is the murder of Boris Nemtsov.
The performers were installed by the FSB operational services and arrested as soon as possible. In this part, the investigation turned out to be successful - the jury made the indictment. But it was not possible to completely reveal the crime - further along the chain to the organizer and the customer could not get out. Despite the investigative orders to arrest and deliver to Moscow a suspect in the organization of the crime of Ruslan Geremeyev (officer of the North of the North of the internal troops). However, very quickly, General Krasnov was taken from General Krasnov and handed over to another investigator in connection with his, Krasnov, promotion.

Lieutenant General of Justice (since 2017) Krasnov also led a number of other high-profile cases of recent years, the results of the investigation of which are caused by experts of dual sensations, namely: an attempt on Anatoly Chubais, the Belgorod Strelka case (shot six people), theft during the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome, the juggling during the court in the court in the case of the murder of the ex-register Russian army Yuri Budanov.
And immediately after the increase, he received the case of the murder in London Alexander Litvinenko and the investigation in the case of the murder of the royal family.
General Krasnov is an extremely non -public figure, because the recent, almost his only interview in Kommersant, gave observers a reason to reflect that the investigator’s figure was rapidly derived from the shadows.

The interview gave other reasons for reflection. Such a professional investigator as Krasnov could not help but realize that the VK version in the case of the murder in the Tsard of Journalists Orhan Jemal, Kirill Radchenko and Alexander Rastorguev could not withstand any criticism, not only - in fact paralyzes the possibility of establishing the truth.
However, he said what he said: it was a simple robbery.
Most likely, in this way the final test for corporate solidarity was passed.
In general, in connection with this, still failed appointment, questions arise that go beyond the discussion of a particular figure, for example:
Does Igor Krasnov’s representation mean the redistribution of powers between the prosecutor's office and the investigation? For example, the strengthening of prosecutorial control over the investigation is what the former chief of General Krasnov, the head of the Investigative Committee of Bastrykin, had a hedgely fighting.
And what position in the elites will Yuri Chaika take and what will happen to the business empire of his family?
