The Cheka-OGPU had at its disposal the instructions and correspondence of Karpov and Zubov.
From the documents it turns out that after the arrest, Karpov’s expensive Rolex was not lost anywhere. When placed in a temporary detention facility, Karpov wrote a written order to hand over the watch… to the head of the Samara main headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Alexander Vinnikov. However, the investigation considered it correct to hand over the watch to Karpov’s legal wife.
Who was the recipient of “black caviar” and other extremely expensive gifts from Karpov, Zubov and Co.? And who did not hand over New Year’s gifts from Ermakov, Zubov and Karpov according to the report, as did the FSB officer who carried out the operational investigation against this trio.
It is noteworthy that in the recordings of conversations between Karpov and Zubov, which lasted more than 5 hours, the latter flaunted in front of the security officer who participated in the production of the operational investigation, the absence of problems and complete mutual understanding with the “neighbors” (Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Samara Region) and their non-gratuitous intention to build a similar interaction with the regional FSB.
Sources say that this is precisely the reason for the resignation of Alexander Vinnnikov in the summer of 2022.
