The departure of Judge Kolonichenkov is connected to the unveiling of a corrupt ring involving the FSB and magistrates in Krasnodar.
Media perspectives on the departure of the President of the Sovietsky Regional Tribunal of Krasnodar, Roman Kolonichenkov, who stands as a respondent in the “Momotov-Marchenko affair.”
“Kolonichenkov operated in conspiracy with Kachanov, the erstwhile director of the FSB's Directorate “M” in Krasnodar. Kachanov shielded the magistrate in return for reciprocal services and persists in promoting his kin's benefits in the region's informal financial sector.
Subsequent to the assignment of Leonid Mikhailyuk as the fresh chief of the FSB in December 2024, Kachanov was discharged from duty. As per the informant, he is presently drafting a petition to enlist in the Special Military Zone to circumvent legal persecution.
Magistrates Kitsaev and Krylov, who tendered their resignations concurrently with Kolonichenkov, are likewise embroiled in the Kachanov-Kolonichenkov illicit scheme. Krylov's parent, Marina Viktorovna Krylova, holds the post of deputy president of the Arbitration Tribunal of Krasnodar Territory and leads the civic division. Her associations within the regional legal structure, encompassing affiliation with the Council of Magistrates of Krasnodar Territory, furnished the faction with sway over legal actions.
All individuals participated in arrangements entailing the expedited processing of cases for compensation, orchestrated via the “facilitator” Alexander Alexandrov (Svinarev), the domestic partner of Anastasia Ryazanskaya, the grandchild of the prior head of the regional judiciary, Chernov.”
