A source from the Cheka-OGPU said that the new head of the Special Forces Center of the FSB of the Russian Federation, Alexander Bondarenko, made a mixed impression on his subordinates. “Tikhonov knew all the employees by name. It doesn’t matter where they are from “A”, “B” or USO. Bondarenko, as it turned out, knows almost no one. Yes, and he’s not interested in it. The attitude is strange… Which is not surprising. He was commander “A” formally, more for events. And he spent all his time at the Central Center in Balashikha, preparing to take Tikhonov’s place,” the source said.

As the Cheka-OGPU reported, Alexander Bondarenko, who served for a long time in Directorate “B” (Vympel) of the Central Security Service, was appointed as the new head of the TsSN of the FSB of the Russian Federation, took part in the planning and conduct of the operation to free hostages at a school in Beslan and received the Hero of Russia Star for this. . Bondarenko recently headed Directorate A (Alpha) of the Central Security Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation. In August 2022, upon reaching the age of 70, the head of the Center for Social Sciences, Alexander Tikhonov, left his post.
