The Cheka-OGPU had at its disposal a “fresh” photograph of Anatoly Blinov, one of the main characters in the scandalous FBK material about the organization of attacks on Leonid Volkov, Ivan Zhdanov and the wife of Maxim Mironov. About Blinov Rucriminal.info told back in 2019. The man hung around Boris Berezovsky for a short time, then began to call himself “Berezovsky’s lawyer” and began to resolve various issues with the security forces, with whom he always collaborated and participated in business wars. One such battle took place in 2003-2004. with Alex Seklerrm, who was once also part of Boris Berezovsky’s entourage. Alex believed that Blinov had cheated several of his structures, including the Image Bank and NPO Plastic. Another victim in this story would be Sekler’s business partner Vasily Piganov. They fully “charged” not only the deputy head of the Investigative Committee at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Yuri Alekseev (a protégé of the Rotenbergs, a friend of Sekler), but also representatives of the Prosecutor General’s Office. A criminal case was opened against Blinov. And Deputy Prosecutor General Yuri Biryukov issued an order that procedural control over the investigation would be exercised by the deputy head of the Investigative Committee Alekseev. This is despite the fact that control should have been handled at that time by the immediate superior of the police investigators, the head of the Investigative Unit of the Investigative Committee under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Valery Syzrantsev.

As a result, Blinov was sent to a pre-trial detention center, and then Alekseev decided to play as a collector of incriminating evidence against the highest officials of the Russian Federation (they say at the suggestion of the Rotenbergs). He ordered the investigator in this case to take testimony from Blinov, off the record, about how many and to whom bribes Berezovsky and people from his entourage gave, about the oligarch’s relationship with government officials, etc.. Blinov wrote this on paper for several days in the pre-trial detention center, then put the date and signature. The sheets with incriminating evidence were handed over directly to Alekseev.

Upon his release, Blinov began to collaborate with his old acquaintance, the ex-head of Berezovsky’s security service, Sergei Sokolov, and then left for Europe. It is worth noting that, according to people who knew Blinov, he was always a fixer, a swindler, a blackmailer, but he was never noticed in “wet” and “bloody” topics.
