A source from the Cheka-OGPU reports numerous complaints against the leadership of the Department of Internal Affairs for the Presnensky district of Moscow. According to the interlocutor, the police carry out real terror for businessmen in the territory entrusted to them. Moreover, Presnya’s representatives are “shaking the regime” in all directions. Recently, the head of the criminal investigation department of this department, Alexander Platonov, came into the spotlight. The chief operative of the Presnensky district came to a meeting at the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Central Administrative District with an ugly long beard. The head of the department, Oleg Paukov, reprimanded him, comparing him to a mujahid, but Platonov still has not shaved his beard. But this is more of a prank.

But the real skeletons are hiding in the closets of department head Sergei Shchukin (former head of the Department of Internal Affairs for the Arbat district) and police chief Rodion Kostikov (former head of the criminal investigation department from the same Arbat department). According to rumors, the latter is the son-in-law of a high-ranking official who provides support to the leadership of the Presnensky Department of Internal Affairs. The interlocutor shared that, through controlled subordinates, the “team” imposed a tribute on almost all entrepreneurs of the Presnensky district. For example, monthly more than a million rubles in taxes are paid to the administration of the Hefien Strip Club and Loft Men’s Club. Both establishments provide guests with a variety of services, including illegal ones. Knowing this, Shchukin and Kostikov set not only a financial fee, but also do not neglect “in kind”. The authorities of the Presnya Department of Internal Affairs hold so-called “subbotniks” – and use the services of establishments for adults for free.
