As the Cheka-OGPU learned, the arrest of the head of the Anti-Corruption Department of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Muryshov, was the result of a struggle for the right to control key positions in the department, and, in fact, for the position of head of the Service. The chair under the current head of the FCS, Vladimir Bulavin, is shaky and one of the Lubyanka towers is actively trying to organize a change of head to the current deputy head of the FCS, Oleg Gubaidulin. He is an employee of the FSB of the Russian Federation seconded to the Federal Customs Service. Gubaidulin worked for a long time in the Internal Security Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation, in particular he headed the 3rd and 4th services. Gubaidulin is a close friend of the head of the Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation, Ivan Tkachev, whose employees carried out the operation against Muryshev. However, it was directly led by Gubaidulin. This operation had a very negative impact on Bulavinov’s already precarious positions. Gubaidulin’s candidacy has already been sent to the RF Administration for approval for promotion. If, nevertheless, Putin decides to leave Bulavinov, then the minimum goal of the operation has been achieved. Gubaidulin will receive full control over one of the key Departments of the Federal Customs Service.

This is not the first such operation by Gubaidulin and his Lubyanka tower. In 2019, they were interfered with by the head of the customs investigation department of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation, General Alexander Kizlyk, who was Andrei Belyaninov’s protégé. Gubaidulin was unable to take control of the administration headed by Kizlyk for more than a year. As a result, Kizlyk was detained by the Russian FSB.

Gubaidulin took an active part in the development and imprisonment of the former head of the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Denis Sugrobov and members of his team. Because of this, he had enormous problems obtaining the rank of general. Gubaidulin’s candidacy was blocked by presidential aide Evgeny Shkolov and another presidential aide Konstantin Chuychenko. Both were close to Sugrobov and left their posts in 2018. Shkolov was replaced in the position of “personnel cardinal” by FSB General Anatoly Seryshev, who was previously the deputy head of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation. And it was Gubaidulin who came to replace Seryshev in the Federal Customs Service.
