The Cheka-OGPU managed to talk to one of the last interlocutors of the American WSJ journalist Evan Gershkovich, who was arrested on charges of espionage. Deputy of the Legislative Assembly from Yekaterinburg Vyacheslav Wegner said that he came to the meeting with Gershkovich in a T-shirt with a bear, sign Z, insulted the journalist and his colleagues, deliberately provoked a conflict. However, as Wegner regrets, Gershkovich did not succumb to the provocation and even drank cognac with the deputy. The brave Z-patriot is convinced that from the threshold he saw in the photojournalist who accompanied Gershkovich the “CIA officer”, since he refused to drink cognac with him. Apparently, the same method was used in Gershkovich to determine the “spy” and the FSB officers who carried out his detention, which, according to Wegner, took place around 8-9 pm in the area of one of the restaurants. Wegner admits that the journalist was interested in Yekaterinburg, as a city where opposition sentiments are strong. He asked about the situation with the Yeltsin Center. There were also a lot of questions about PMCs Wagner and Prigozhin, since Wegner talked with Prigozhin. In particular, Prigozhin confessed to Wegner that he was removed from the recruitment of prisoners and he began to spit on the prisoners. Apparently, this is very secret information.

The VChK-OGPU found out how the relationship between the former son-in-law of Putin, billionaire Kirill Shamalov, and the daughter of the head of the FSB support service, General Mikhail Shekin, Anastasia Zadorina, develops. At the beginning of the year, the couple had a child. And, literally 10 days later, young parents threw a chic holiday in Moscow: they celebrated the replenishment and mother’s birthday. Nikolai Baskov and Lev Leshchenko were invited to entertain the respectable audience in a fashionable restaurant. Among the guests was the ex-boyfriend of Anastasia Zadorina, the largest grain exporter Pyotr Khodykin, along with the former opponent of the daughter of the FSB general – his wife. Recall that the businessman led a double life for several years, telling his mistress that his wife was terminally ill and he could not leave her. Shamalov reconciled the families and the Khodykins gave them expensive gifts.

The Cheka-OGPU continues to monitor the progress of the investigation into the blowing up of the Crimean bridge and the fate of the defendants in the controversial criminal case. Recall that charges of terrorism were brought against a number of random persons, whom even the language does not dare to call saboteurs. All of them lived their normal lives before the emergency. Most of them, one way or another, are related to the search and hiring of a truck, in which, according to the security forces, there was a load of explosives. After conflicting statements by the top leadership of the Russian Federation, the chairman of the TFR and the FSB, all 8 people who were detained in hot pursuit, but immediately released, were hastily arrested. “The first interrogation was held only on February 17 in the pre-trial detention center. They asked about relatives, real estate in Ukraine, whether the husband received money from other participants in the case. He answered all these questions in the negative. After some time, the interrogation was repeated, but the questions were the same, ”said the wife of one of the defendants. According to the interlocutor, after a series of publications by the Cheka-OGPU about the lack of evidence in the case, the other day an investigator and a polygraph examiner came to the detention center to her husband. Despite the fact that the lawyer was not informed about the study, the accused of terrorism agreed to take a lie detector, where questions were prepared about whether he knew about the impending terrorist attack or not. However, the profiler’s apparatus suddenly went haywire, and the only expedient investigative action for all this time was disrupted.

A source of the Cheka-OGPU reports that the Arbitration Court of the Chelyabinsk Region has received a bankruptcy petition from the son of a high-ranking official. According to the case file, Alexei Lezhnikov owed more than 4 million rubles. The younger Lezhnikov is a lawyer, but prefers to use not knowledge of jurisprudence, but family ties. Referring to the capabilities of his father, the prosecutor, the unfortunate lawyer offers his clients to resolve any issues with law enforcement agencies and the judicial system of the Chelyabinsk region and get the “necessary” decision. But the matter does not go further than promises and receiving prepayment for services. While the problems of clients continue to multiply, Alexei leads an idle lifestyle in expensive resorts, looking for companions on dating sites and getting out as best he can when particularly persistent clients demand a refund. Now he is again in search of new clients who can cover his debts. After all, 4 million is only a small part of what the younger Lezhnikov owes to gullible clients. But the question arises: “Where is the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation looking and how long, hiding behind the name of the prosecutor of the Tver region, can you appropriate the money of people who trusted you?”

Military registration and enlistment offices from the first day of conscription gave the scale of the spring campaign. As the VChK-OGPU found out, police squads are on duty in many metropolitan courtyards. Employees of the commissariats for the first time began to use cold calling. Calls to relatives of evaders are received several times during the day from different numbers. Apparently, the previous experience of raising panic among the population went to the authorities and will now become part of the spring and autumn draft.

The VChK-OGPU managed to talk with the organizer of the last interview with American journalist Evan Gershkovich, a political strategist from Yekaterinburg, Yaroslav Shirshikov. He to smithereens smashed the FSB version that the journalist was engaged in espionage activities. On the day of his arrest, Gershkovich arrived to meet with Yevgeny Roizman. Moreover, Gershkovich sent official requests to the Ministry of Defense and received permission for interviews concerning this department in the region. A good “spy” is one who notifies the Ministry of Defense of his plans in an official letter and asks for permission. According to Shirshikov, the WSJ correspondent had no interest in military-industrial complex enterprises. He spoke in detail about Gershkovich’s visit and explained that he was interested in the personality of Prigozhin and the latter’s attempts to influence Yekaterinburg. According to Yaroslav, at the official request of Evan, an interview with a representative of the Ministry of Defense in the region was agreed, but 15 minutes before the meeting, the military canceled everything. Gershkovich also revealed the purpose of the American’s second visit to Yekaterinburg, which was being treated as a mystery. The political strategist stated that he was aware of Evan’s plans to return in order to meet with Yevgeny Roizman.

State Duma deputy from “Fair Russia” Yana Lantratova continues to gush with wonderful PR ideas. Now the Instagram lover is proposing to give teachers a special status equal to that of civil servants. In particular, Lantratova wants to define the mission of teachers, set their salary no lower than the average salary of a civil servant in the country and give them the right to medical care, which officials are endowed with. Indeed, Mother Teresa! “The law on the status of a teacher should be separate, like the law On the Status of a Senator and a State Duma Deputy, and not amendments to existing ones,” Yana Lantratova told Izvestiya. According to her, the special status of a teacher will increase the prestige of the profession, get away from the word “state employee”, which devalues his role in society. Apparently, therefore, trying to get away from the depreciating word “budget”, Lantratova, being an employee of the HRC, loved to have a chic vacation in an Italian villa and a golden yacht, the owner of the BKF bank, Israeli Olga Mirimskaya, who is now arrested on 4 episodes of bribes totaling almost $ 2 million ? Or does Yana Valeryevna take care of “state employees”, remembering that “iPhone” cannot be bought with their salary, but not every “state employee” can get it for mediation in corruption?

The case of the holding for the processing of technical hemp, part 2. (Formerly, see Part 1) Penza “Konoplex” repeats the fate of thousands of unique enterprises. Since 2015, the company has become a leader in the production of technical hemp. Here they grow and process strategic products for medicine, construction, and industry. Now they are breaking contracts with suppliers and contractors, removing equipment, and reducing staff. The corporate conflict between the co-founders R. Belousov and E. Skigin received wide publicity after the illegal change of the CEO of the Konoplex subsidiaries. The ongoing arbitrariness within the company was also picked up by the media after a collective complaint from employees. Thanks to an “effective” manager, a successful enterprise takes a vector to bankruptcy. Mr. Nacharkin (the new CEO) cleverly redirects all financial flows into his own pockets. According to sources, on March 24, a German line for the production of non-woven materials worth more than 45 million rubles was illegally removed from the Penza enterprise. For removal, Nacharkin hired a dismantling team from Ivanovo, which dismantled, sawed up the equipment in places like scrap metal, and took it out in an unknown direction to any of the employees. None of the production workers participated in the dismantling, inventories and inventories were not compiled within the company. The police squad was called and retreated, under the pretext of not wanting to interfere in a civil dispute. These are not all the problems that arise from the corporate conflict and the actions of Nacharkin S.A. and Belousova R.O. In fact, not just an expropriation of property took place, the sowing campaign was suspended, which led to the disruption of planting and production and, consequently, the subsequent collection of technical hemp. The company also draws attention to the fact that Nacharkin is directly blackmailing employees. But the finale for Nacharkin and Belousov can be sad – in the arbitration of Moscow and Penza, there are already 7 lawsuits under consideration, another decision is being appealed. However, there is no doubt that the criminal activities of Belousov and his henchmen will be stopped by law enforcement agencies, because it is not only about plundering the company, but at stake is the development of a strategically important industry for Russia.

A jury in a New York court voted to indict Donald Trump in a case of forgery of financial documents. The essence of the accusations is that the former US president paid $130,000 to pornographic actress Stormy Daniels for keeping quiet about her connection with Trump and tried to hide this payment. According to the Federal Law “On Guarantees to the President of the Russian Federation, who has terminated the exercise of his powers”, our Guarantor is in fact absolutely inviolable.

A small nuance on the topic of who Joseph Prigogine is, and why he will not get anything for it. At the end of the dashing 90s, the Prigozhin family acquired two adjacent apartments in a historic mansion on Pokrovka with a total area of 150 m2. But here it is not interesting, but the seller. The seller turned out to be the family of Valentin Laskov, a businessman who was especially close to Alexander Udodov, who was especially close to Mikhail Mishustin, who has recently been especially close to Vladimir Putin. Once again, Prigozhin received from Laskov not one apartment, but two at the same time, that is, the deal was not so much on the market, but on a special agreement between close characters. In the same way, Laskov, for example, supplied Udodov (read, the Mishustin family) in the United States with real estate. In general, the purchase turned out to be promising: Mishustin went uphill, and Prigozhin received not only walls, but also a roof over his head.
