Analyzing the events around the person of Sergei Surovikin, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the general was constantly “smeared” in some kind of criminal stories. Either in the first, still Soviet coup, or in the illegal circulation of weapons, or in the death of his subordinate. And he always managed to get away with it.
But it seems that the new turn in the general's fate may be the most "cool" in his career.
Earlier, the telegram channel of the Cheka-OGPU already talked about the fate of the former deputy head of the CSS of the Moscow Region, Yevgeny Bakharev, and about his dark joint affairs with the former head of the traffic police of the Leninsky district, Yuri Shashurin. With the help of Shashurin, Bakharev hoped to improve his financial situation by replacing the first head of the district traffic police. However, the replacement turned out to be very intractable, and after the hints of the intermediary Shashurin about the need to give some money for tuning Bakharev's personal car, he turned to the latter's colleagues in the Main Directorate of Internal Security of the Moscow Region Central Administration.
A criminal case was initiated, and the only way out for Bakharev was to go on the run. However, in the summer of 2022, a special officer who had been on the federal wanted list for a long time was detained in the Krasnodar Territory.
And here it is worth recalling that Bakharev transferred to the Moscow region from the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Ural Federal District (Yekaterinburg) with the help of ... General Surovikin, who since January 2010 served as chief of staff - first deputy commander of the Volga-Ural Military District (PurVO), all in the same city of Yekaterinburg. In September 2010, PurVO, together with the western part of the Siberian Military District, became part of the newly formed Central Military District (TsVO). And in December 2010, Sergei Surovikin took over as chief of staff - first deputy commander of the Central Military District.
Rucriminal.info also notes that from 2011 to 2018, the current head of the Department of Internal Affairs for the North-East Administrative District of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Moscow, Police Major General Konstantin Stroganov, served in the organized crime department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Sverdlovsk Region. Which in November 2018 became the head of ... the Department of Internal Security of the Metropolitan Police. And he went on promotion after a very muddy story with the landing of the "police ombudsman" Vladimir Vorontsov,
In general, in the "separate" of Moscow and the region, the number of people from Yekaterinburg is suspiciously off scale. In June 2021, the former head of the organized crime department of the Sverdlovsk Ministry of Internal Affairs, Pavel Isakov, headed the internal security department of the Moscow Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Stroganov brought Isakov to Moscow, appointing him as his deputy in the CSS.
Evil tongues say that Bakharev's acquaintance with Surovikin happened through common interests with several odious personalities from the general's inner circle at once. Sources of Rucriminal.info say that it was Yevgeny Bakharev who found Oleg Polguev, the deputy chief of staff of the Central Military District for intelligence, lost drunkenly (who was also a close friend of Sergei Surovikin), a briefcase with secret documents, which the general was carrying to report to the Headquarters of the Ground Forces.
In November 2020, at that time already the former head of intelligence of the Airborne Forces, Major General Oleg Polguev, became the head of the representative office of the Russian Ministry of Defense in the Central African Republic (CAR). In the same Central African Republic, where, according to Reuters, at that time there were about “1900 Russian mercenaries, including from ... Wagner”.
But back to the police special officer Bakharev. This subject, in addition to searching for portfolios with secret documents, actively protected the joint businesses of Surovikin's wife and relatives of the Sverdlovsk governor Alexander Misharin (including logging), for which he was sent to the capital of our Motherland for promotion.
During his service in the CSS of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Ural Federal District, Bakharev met two more members of the team of General Surovikin - Ivan Taraev and Giga Gigava, former "servicemen" of the Vostok battalion of the 42nd Guards Motorized Rifle Division.
As it is not difficult to guess, both Taraev and Gigava had a "rich" past.
So at the end of 2010, after leaving the pre-trial detention center and taking a breath, Ivan Taraev decided to rejoin the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and went to bow to the chief of staff of the Volga-Ural (later Central) military district Sergei Surovikin.
Having sworn allegiance to Surovikin, who, in his new position in Yekaterinburg, needed support and assistance on the spot, Taraev, after being reinstated in military service and receiving a position at the headquarters of the Central Military District, actually became his shadow adjutant.
The brother of Taraev's wife Giga Gigava, having long since retired from the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and living in Moscow, pretends to be a tough bandit; then a secret officer of the GRU, marked with a diploma for participation in the operation to "force Georgia to peace" signed by the pres Ident of RF Medvedev.
By the way, from 2005 to 2017, the “secret GRU officer” actually lived illegally in Russia, illegally trying to obtain citizenship of the Russian Federation. But he managed to do this only after Evgeny Bakharev took the post of deputy head of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Moscow Region. After that, repeatedly detained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, including on suspicion of committing a crime under Part 3 of Article 161 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (robbery), Giga Gigava received a brand new Russian passport.
Another interesting story is connected with Gigava, at the end of the summer of 2022, he went on a mission to ... Georgia. After the publication of the Cheka of the OGPU about this event, many questions arose for this character in their historical homeland, and he quickly left back to Russia.
