Before the major corruption incident in the St. Petersburg branch of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which served as an imitation of the temporary dismissal of the current head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the North-Western Administrative District of Moscow, Romeiko-Gurko, there was another incident that should have ended in detention and criminal prosecution. As a source of the Cheka-OGPU said, in 2018, as the head of the Main Directorate for Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Colonel Romeiko-Gurko arrived with a large donation to the Administration of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the South-Western Administrative District to resolve the issue of not bringing to justice one of the defendants in the criminal case. But he was detained red-handed by FSB officers. To resolve the issue, the head of the GUSB Makarov sent the deputy head of the special operations department, Colonel Lyalkin, from the FSB at the Main Directorate of Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to close this problem. He arrived in a service BMW with special signals to the South-Western Administrative District Internal Affairs Directorate and promptly “extinguished” this situation to zero. There have long been legends in the Russian law enforcement community that the main criterion for admission to service in the internal security units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the ability to quickly “turn on the back,” regardless of the severity of the offense committed. To friends – That’s it, for the rest – personal responsibility. Romeiko-Gurko’s unsinkability and career growth, despite regular incidents of a criminal nature, is served by his devoted participation in the “brotherly circle” of the head of the Main Directorate of Security, General Makarov, who is the main curator of the entire personnel policy of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
