A source from the Cheka-OGPU said that the arrest of a high-ranking employee of department M of the FSB Directorate for Moscow and Moscow Region, Alexander Ushakov, and the threat of imprisonment for his boss, head of department M Valery Popov, could significantly affect the personnel of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow. Ushakov and Popov are known for their very close relations with the head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Moscow Region, Viktor Paukov, which largely explained the personnel policy of the capital’s police. Through the efforts of Department M, in the fall of 2022, the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Central Administrative District of Moscow (the former position of Viktor Paukov) Stanislav Sulakov left his post, and the vacated chair was taken by… Viktor Paukov’s son Oleg. At the instigation of Paukov Sr. and with the active participation of Department M, Stanislav Bolloev became the deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow, a friend of Viktor Paukov and a protege of the Podolsk organized crime group.

As soon as the deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow, Igor Zinoviev, became a contender for the post of head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Moscow Region, Department M staged a real defeat of Zinoviev’s team. The head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Southern Administrative District Ryabov, the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the ZAO Sheinkin, the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the North-Western Administrative District Romeiko-Gurkov, and, ultimately, Zinoviev himself left the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation with a “wolf ticket.” But Paukov remained in his position.

We will find out what will happen to these proteges of Paukov and himself after the corruption scandal with Department M in the near future.
