“The new head of the FCS, Valery Pikalev, should under no circumstances take for granted anything that Davydov tells him (this was Bulavin’s biggest mistake, in fact, because of which he lost his position), about the current state of affairs in the FCS, its development and, most importantly, about their personal merits in all this.
In fact, the customs service now continues to function not thanks to, but rather despite the corruption of this “great reformer” and his close appointees.
Complete lies about digitalization, about improving existing and introducing new software products,” said a source from the Cheka-OGPU. 
According to him, if Pikalev goes, at least selectively, through customs posts and asks the officials at these posts to tell the truth, he will hear a lot of unpleasant things about the so-called “revisions” and “updates” of all kinds of programs of the Unified Automated Information System of Customs Authorities STO and KPS , which constantly fall off.
“And again, to the questions about the billions of budget rubles spent on all this fraud, the development of which Deputy Head Tereshchenko so cheerfully and joyfully broadcasts everywhere.
Fundamentally contrived reports to management, constant self-promotion, attribution of merit other than one’s own or invented, and hushing up serious problems were made by Davydov with the goal of being appointed head of the FCS at any cost. It didn’t work out… Now he will start “undermining” the new leader,” believes the interlocutor of the Cheka-OGPU.
Pikalev inherited huge problems.
In customs, especially in the Moscow region, there is a terrible outflow of personnel, both experienced and newly recruited. As a result, the burden on the remaining officials is prohibitive.
You can list for a very long time, ad infinitum, all the negative things that Davydov “brought”
