It is known about the GRU officer Andrei Torgashov, who was injured in the explosion, that he is from Kazakhstan. Previously, it was registered in Novosibirsk at the address NVVKU. This is a higher military command school where cadets are trained in military specialties – “Use of deep reconnaissance units”, “Use of military reconnaissance units”, “Use of motorized rifle units”. Several dozen NVVKU graduates serve in the GRU and sit under the “roofs” of Russian embassies around the world, the Dossier Center claims. For example, the first secretary of the Russian Embassy in the Czech Republic, Alexey Kolmakov, who was expelled with other colleagues. Also, the Torgashov family was registered for a long time in Kaliningrad in the dormitory of the Ministry of Defense, and from there they moved to Moscow. By the way, Andrei and Maya (works in social services) Torgashev have a large family and on July 27 they will have 27 years of marriage. Their eldest son is a graduate of the St. Petersburg Suvorov Military School. Now he is studying for a civilian specialty and, apparently, does not think of following in his father’s footsteps. Andrei Torgashov had at least three passports, one of which had a very interesting series “450000”. You cannot find a photograph of a GRU colonel in the public field, but there are publications of the wife (2012, 2013, 2015) of an active intelligence officer from European cities, in particular from Paris, Milan and the Netherlands. On the eve of the explosion, both victims were online.
