As the Cheka-OGPU found out, in addition to Ruslan Tsalikov, Timur Ivanov also had close relations with the Deputy Minister of Defense, head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces, Viktor Goremykin. By the way, Viktor Goremykin played together with Timur Ivanov in the Red Stars hockey team, the main organizer and inspirer of which was Timur Ivanov.
Previously, Viktor Goremykin, heading the Main Personnel Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, assigned his son Dmitry Goremykin to a “grain position” in Directorate “K” of the FSB, where he rose to the rank of colonel and served as acting head of the 8th department. According to available information, Dmitry Goremykin was in contact with criminal authorities during his career, which left a certain imprint on him and he repeatedly received criticism from management for being too business-oriented and wanting to make money from his connections with the criminal world.
According to available information, about 3 years ago, the negativity towards Goremykin Jr. overwhelmed the management’s patience and Dmitry Goremykin was fired from the state security agencies. Then Dmitry Goremykin worked as deputy general director of the Mayak company and then went to work for the country’s largest construction company PIK, where his experience of interacting with the criminal community was very useful. The dismissal of the son of the Deputy Minister of Defense with only the rank of colonel and not general is a blatant and exceptional case, because the son of a general, especially one who is responsible for personnel and political education, can only be a general.
