The head of the Main Directorate of the IC of Russia in the city of Moscow Andrei Strizhov is now an unenviable position. Strizhov himself was always considered the man of the head of the department to the FSB of the Russian Federation Ivan Tkachev, worked and was in close relations with such investigators of the IC of Russia as Sergey Novikov and Ruslan Minihmetov. All of them were subordinate at that time as deputy chairman of the IC of Russia Krasnov I.V. The appointment of Andrei Strizhov to the post of head of the Moscow Glavka was personally lobby by Ivan Tkachev and put to this the hand of I. Krasnov, with whom Strizhov still has a communication channel and he may fall into a personal audience with the General Prosecutor. But after the appointment, Strizhov had to build a certain balance, since the first deputy chairman of the IC of Russia E. Kaburneev He headed for the cleansing of the department from investigators associated with Tkachev and Krasnov. As a result, Strizhov tries to sit on two chairs. 
Plus, this year, serious conflicts and corruption scandals “fell” on him, because of which he did not receive the title of general (he was refused an ap). Firstly, this is a conflict with the mayor of the city of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin due to the arrest of the deputy head of the Department of Economic Policy and the Development of Leonid Kostroma. Sobyanin, using his huge lobbying resource, began to put sticks in Porizhov wheels.
Secondly, this is a serious corruption scandal because of the Merlion case. As a result, this story reached Alexander Bastrykin and AP and the case was taken for production to the central apparatus.
