“Alexander Kravchenko started working at the Central Internal Affairs Directorate for the Rostov region, including as head of the regional traffic police. He divorced his first wife, she is the owner of Rostov shopping centers and a very rich person.
Having arrived at the post of head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Volgograd Region, he spent several years carefully settling in and placing his people in place. From the controlled traffic police officers who came to him from Rostov, a group was created that began to actively make money on Volgograd roads. Volgograd is practically the only option for road communication between North Ossetia with its numerous vodka factories and central Russia.
Revenues from vodka transit alone amounted to multi-million dollar amounts monthly. A few years later, the regional FSB department closed down this entire criminal group (“Oleg Kirpa’s case”), but in the development it was decided to stop at a certain level of employees of the regional Central Internal Affairs Directorate.
The main purse and organizer of the schemes was the current deputy of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Volgograd Region, Sergei Matsko, who worked for many years as the head of the UBEP.
It was under him that the development of all “commercial” topics related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs flowed from all divisions of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate to the UBEP. At the same time, after the arrest of the traffic police officers, Kravchenko built a working relationship with the “older brothers” and fulfilled all their requests and wishes. This is probably why only junior and mid-level officers were included in the development of the FSB Directorate for the Volgograd Region, unlike other regions.
Numerous complaints from Volgograd entrepreneurs about extortions led to the fact that this summer the Presidential Administration refused to award the rank of general to Sergei Matsko, despite meeting the necessary formal requirements for length of service and other indicators.”
