Internet reception. The Ural Deputy Prosecutor General was replaced in the North Caucasus Prosecutor's Office of the Urals Federal District, official
The transfer of the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation in the Urals Federal District to the post of acting first deputy will certainly trigger a wave of personnel changes in supervision, and the end result will be a partial renewal in the central apparatus. At the same time, it is clarified that the experts are predicting not a post for Ponomarev, who currently occupies the place of the second person in the department, but “one of the ordinary deputies.” The current appointment, observers at the RF GP are sure, is a “test in force” - despite the business trip, Ponomarev’s duties as curator of the Ural Federal District are not removed for this time, and “he will have to demonstrate his ability to work under extremely high load conditions.” According to one version, personnel preparations are thus underway for the possible disbandment of the Prosecutor General’s Office departments in the federal districts with the “removal of individual leaders from the attack.” At the same time, they officially deny information about possible personnel changes in the Ural department, insisting that “nothing extraordinary is happening.” In addition to the interest in the federal district of the Crimean prosecutor and “rotation from the regions of the North Caucasus.”
The Moscow business trip of the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation to the Urals Federal District Yuri Ponomarev, temporarily appointed to act as first deputy Yuri Chaika, is considered by employees of the supervisory agency as preparation for updating the leadership. According to the interlocutors of Pravda UrFO, upon completion of the “temporary” appointment, Ponomarev will indeed return to Yekaterinburg, but he will stay here for a very short time and will soon return to the capital in the status of one of the deputies in the central apparatus.
“The main reason why this version arose at all was the very appearance of the order. As a rule, in the central office, during the absence of one of the employees, a representative of the same “center” is appointed as an acting representative. The fact that none of the Moscow deputies were appointed instead of Buksman is an unusual situation. The majority of the leadership of the Prosecutor General's Office is on the verge of the age limit for being in service; for some, annual renewals are already underway. So, potentially, almost any chair could become vacant there, not to mention, of course, Chaika, who received a guarantee of immunity for some time, and Buksman himself - he is also not planning to retire yet. So the time has come to think about what castlings will follow in the Urals Federal District,” the editor’s interlocutor believes.
Prosecutor General Russian Federation Yuri Chaika
According to an employee of the RF GP, according to official information, a variety of options are being considered, but the dominant version is that the potential successor will come from regions outside the Urals Federal District. In particular, the expert recommends paying attention to the North Caucasus, first of all to the prosecutor of Ingushetia Petra Nikolaeva, who has served in the authorities military prosecutor's office Volga-Ural Military District (as part of the army reform, it became part of the Central Military District). Let us note that both Ponomarev and his successor as Sverdlovsk prosecutor Sergey Okhlopkov previously served in Caucasian regions. However, skeptics point out that it is extremely premature to make unambiguous assumptions now, since even in the case of Ponomarev there is no clear data indicating his real upcoming move.
“If a prosecutor somewhere is promoted, this does not necessarily mean that a successor has been prepared. His responsibilities may be assigned to a temporary manager, and then, in parallel, work will begin to find a permanent replacement. So for now I can’t say anything. And you can assume anything. Remember how Poklonskaya (Prosecutor of the Republic of Crimea Natalya Poklonskaya - Ed.) has a warm attitude towards the Urals, she came to monasteries - it can also be connected with the fact that her trip to Yekaterinburg was, for example, a preliminary acquaintance with a new front of work,” - explained a high-ranking interlocutor of the editorial office.
The search for candidates for the seat, however, is complicated by the December decree Vladimir Putin O . In private conversations, the district departments of the supervisory agency are predicted to have the same fate as the headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Federal Drug Control Service - the former were liquidated back in 2014, the latter last year.
“The situation in the law enforcement system is now radically different from what it was 15 years ago at the time of their creation. Tasks change, and so do working conditions. In the case of the police and the Federal Drug Control Service, they decided that there was no need for district departments, the FSB did not create them at all, and not so long ago they reformatted the work of the district Investigation Departments - taking all this into account, and even with a focus on saving, it is logical to expect that the next it will be the prosecutors. In this case, it becomes a logical decision to check individual managers in advance for a possible transfer to the central office,” believes Pravda UrFO’s interlocutor in the law enforcement system.
Some experts associate the potential transition of Yuri Ponomarev precisely with the prospects for the liquidation of district departments. Allegedly, in this way the issue of employing “individual well-established generals of the prosecutor’s office is resolved in advance, so that later they do not have to urgently find a place for them.” However, regional prosecutors' offices assure that such developments are not discussed even in informal communication.
“I don’t think there will be any disbandment. We don’t have such conversations, and Ponomarev’s temporary transition to the central apparatus is practically not discussed. In general, the decree establishes for different departments different sizes abbreviations. According to the TFR, for example, we are talking about only a few dozen positions throughout the country. So, first of all, most likely, it will be carried out at the expense of empty rates and pensioners,” believes an interlocutor at the Sverdlovsk supervisory agency.
Editorial sources specifically focus on the conditions in which Ponomarev will have to work in the near future. Having entrusted him with the duties of the first deputy, Yuri Chaika did not remove his duties as curator of the Urals Federal District during this time - thus, Yuri Ponomarev will have to cope with a double load. Experts believe that this will, in essence, be a “test of strength.” At the same time, another of the most important factors that will influence the final decision, the editors’ interlocutors call “the good reputation of Yuri Ponomarev.”
“If his name is mentioned in the context of any conflicts, it is precisely in connection with his position and reports that the Sverdlovsk prosecutor’s office, and later the Directorate of the Prosecutor General’s Office in the Urals Federal District, initiated an investigation, identified the perpetrators, and brought them to justice. They say that when he first arrived in Yekaterinburg, the leaders of the financial and industrial group tried for a long time to find an approach to “get closer” based on a common hobby - hunting, fishing or something like that. But Ponomarev maintained the principle of equidistance - this is undoubtedly a plus, especially in a situation where the Prosecutor General’s Office is one of the objects information attacks non-systemic opposition or subsidized media,” the source of Pravda UrFO explained his words.
The long-time dream of the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation in Uralsky has come true federal district Yuri Ponomarev: finally he goes to serve in Moscow. Many residents of the Urals shared this joy with Ponomarev - let the capital now suffer with him. After all, the reputational trail that follows Yuri Ponomarev is stained by a number of dubious (if not ordered) cases.
Yuri Ponomarev’s new position sounds like this: Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation in the Central Federal District. Ponomarev walked towards this appointment for many years, starting his career in the “nuclear” Ozyorsk, Chelyabinsk region. This is a closed city, with a tightly knit leadership and power elite, which also has connections with the authoritative world of the Southern Urals.
There, according to informed sources, Ponomarev came under the influence of Ozersk security officers who had connections with one of the leaders of the Kalinin family - Chelyabinsk City Duma deputy Vitaly Pavlovich Rylskikh (we recall that the Chelyabinsk oligarch Alexander Aristov, owner of CHEMK, is also considered the leader of the Kalinin family). Most likely, Ponomarev was brought “up to date” by the Deputy Head of the FSB Directorate for the Chelyabinsk Region, Alexander Nikolaevich Ryabchenko.
Considering such a start to a career, few in the South Ural elite were surprised that some criminal cases were investigated very zealously, while for some reason the expensive ones “slipped.” The highlight of Ponomarev’s career as deputy prosecutor general in the Urals Federal District was the so-called case of hijackers and operatives. This shameful story clearly demonstrated the methods of “work” of the Investigation Department in the Urals, namely, investigator Bederin and his boss, head of the 4th Investigative Directorate of the ICR Ruslan Ibiev (now Lieutenant General of Justice). Operatives Koltsov and Bugaev, who caught Alexei Malov, a member of a gang of luxury foreign car thieves, red-handed in January 2013, themselves ended up in a pre-trial detention center. They were almost joined by the deputy head of the criminal investigation department, Andrei Menshenin, who escaped with house arrest. Two more operatives were on the run for two years, fleeing from boundless “justice.”
Both police officers and deputies sent appeals to Moscow regarding this outrageous case. State Duma deputy Valery Hartung also contacted Moscow several times. But in vain: Ponomarev preferred to pretend that he did not notice the lawlessness. With such “blindness”, of course, Ibiev worked very freely: “do things” as you wish!
Only two years later did justice prevail for the operas. But for the time they lost in the pre-trial detention center, for their nerves, for their health, for their insulted honor, neither Bederin nor Ibiev received punishment.
And this triumph of justice is an isolated case. But one could recall many more lawless cases to which Ponomarev, as a representative of the Prosecutor General’s Office in the Urals Federal District, should have paid attention - but did not.
Similarly, Ponomarev was completely “not interested” in budget embezzlement and clearly corrupt issues, including the completely unlimited collusion of the Chelyabinsk road monopolist Yuzhuralmost with the regional Ministry of Road Facilities and Transport (remember that for three years this private company has been allocated for roads by the Ministry!) . And this money flowed freely for several years - after all, the actual owner of Yuzhuralmost is Sergei Vilshenko, who is on the run. Living in London, he still controls the work of the company, and in the region, current affairs are decided by his father, retired FSB Colonel Gennady Vilshenko.
With such “blindness” of the representative of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation, the head of budget crimes in the Southern Urals, the head of the first department of the economic security department of the FSB Directorate for the Chelyabinsk Region, Anton Kostenko, calmly ignored corruption cases. Also, by the way, presumably connected with the Kalinin family.
It is not surprising that there was no reaction from Ponomarev to the long-term complaints of Chelyabinsk residents regarding the smoking ChEMK oligarch Alexander Aristov. And all because, as they believe in the South Ural elite, Ponomarev was firmly “hooked” by people from the Kalinin family working in the FSB Directorate for the Chelyabinsk Region.
So no one, except representatives of this authoritative family, will regret Ponomarev’s departure to Moscow.
Well, on the part of the Kalinin family, attempts will obviously be made to “establish connections” with the new deputy prosecutor general in the Urals Federal District. After all, it is impossible to continue operating the Aristov plant, ignoring environmental standards, without the patronage of the district prosecutor.
Whether Yuri Ponomarev's successor in the Ural Federal District, Vladimir Malinovsky, who arrived in his place in Yekaterinburg, will continue to help oligarch Aristov - time will tell.
