The Cheka-OGPU continues to talk about the head of the BSTM of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, General Litvinov, and his team. After the FSB general joined the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Litvinov enlisted the support of First Deputy Minister Vanichkin. During the time when Vanichkin was in office, Litvinov was allowed a lot. Systematic business trips to the regions of Russia with his “retinue”, in the person of General Grechushnikov, Colonel A.V. Runov and A.N. Koluzunov. At the same time, Runov was the “wallet” of the generals, straining the heads of the territorial divisions of the Bureau for a “beautiful meeting.” The budget for such events reached several million rubles. Interregional meetings were held in each region with the participation of heads of equipment manufacturing companies. Litvinov personally represents the leaders of BSTM and introduces them to representatives of companies from which equipment and special equipment are subsequently purchased. Previously, the Cheka-OGPU mentioned the companies Citadel (Alisher Usmanov) and RNIRS. These are the two main companies that consume budget money. At the same time, General Litvinov also started these two companies to supply their products to the 12th center of the FSB and the SVR.
With the arrival of General Balashov, the BSTM, based on a memorandum addressed to the minister, conducted an inspection by the KRU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which revealed many violations in the purchase of special equipment and special equipment. However, everything was put on hold after Balashov himself was admitted to the “feeding trough,” so to speak. Balashov was also allowed to place his people in positions in the ORI of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
