First Deputy Director of the Federal Penitentiary Service Anatoly Rudy, speaking as a witness for the defense in the criminal case of the former deputy director of the penitentiary system Oleg Korshunov, accused of embezzlement, said that thanks to the defendant, many financial problems in the department were resolved, and provocations were committed against the leaders of the service itself more than once.
Talk about lies and provocations
Anatoly Rudy came to the Gagarinsky District Court as acting director of the Federal Penitentiary Service - head of the department Gennady Kornienko is on vacation.
The witness said that Oleg Korshunov came to the FSIN from business, and, according to him, then everyone was surprised: why would a wealthy man, who even has his own yacht, work in the penitentiary system? However, according to him, soon after his appointment, Korshunov quickly became accustomed to the system, focusing on solving its various financial problems. The first deputy director of the FSIN especially emphasized that Korshunov managed to push through the allocation of subsidies to FSIN employees, for which many are still grateful to him.
Rudy said that the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Production and Industrial House of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia” (PPD), whose ex-head Vitaly Morusov is also in the dock, was not created on Korshunov’s initiative, as the investigation and the state prosecution believe. The former deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service did not promote the project related to the location of shoe production in the colonies. For production, he noted, another former deputy director was responsible - Oleg Simchenkov, who acted as a witness for the prosecution in court. Anatoly Rudy himself was against such productions, but the council of experts, and then the board of the Federal Penitentiary Service, supported the production of shoes by prisoners for prisoners and department employees. Production was carried out using equipment and raw materials provided by the general director of DACE Group Trade and Industrial Company LLC (TPK) Smbat Harutyunyan, who testified against Korshunov and was convicted of theft in a special manner.
Anatoly Rudy confirmed Mr. Korshunov’s version that questions arose to Harutyunyan, saying that in response he spread rumors about kickbacks of a certain percentage to the former deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service. " I recommended that Korshunov talk about this with Harutyunyan in the presence of other employees, which he did“- said the witness, noting that the former partner of the FSIN did not publicly support his version, citing the fact that he himself was slandered in order to quarrel with the leadership of the department.
According to the Investigative Committee of Russia (ICR), in 2015, the then deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia Oleg Korshunov, the head of the PPD Vitaly Morusov and businessman Smbat Harutyunyan, for selfish reasons, entered into a criminal conspiracy to steal budget funds. For this purpose, in colonies located in the Perm and Krasnoyarsk territories, as well as Lipetsk, the production of shoes for prisoners and prison department employees was organized using TPK equipment and from its materials. According to the documents, the release was carried out by the PPD, from which, on behalf of Mr. Korshunov, the territorial divisions of the FSIN were supposed to purchase shoes. FSUE, within the framework of government contracts concluded with it, received 263 million 278 thousand 421 rubles, subsequently transferring most of the funds to the accounts of DACE Group, Promtorgobuv LLC and Multishveygroup, controlled by Harutyunyan. Having received data that instead of leather, a cheaper material was used in production - split leather, the FSB and the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee decided that.
Meanwhile, the defense of the defendants notes, during the trial no evidence was presented that prisoners and employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service received low-quality shoes, and the thefts themselves were committed. FSIN employees and documents from the prison department confirm that all the shoes were received and almost all of them have already been used for their intended purpose. Lawyers believe that there is no corpus delicti in the case.
Anatoly Rudy said that he himself does not believe in the guilt of his former colleague, and the opposite must be established by the investigative authorities and the court. And at the same time he recalled that earlier, for example, the former director of the FSIN cannery spoke about facts of corruption in the leadership of the FSIN, including Korshunov, the Investigative Committee and the FSB Pavel Belikov, convicted of embezzlement for eight and a half years. As it later turned out, he gave this testimony under pressure, and it turned out to be false, writes Kommersant.
First Deputy Director of the Federal Service spoke in an interview with RIA Novosti correspondent Galina Salivon about the readiness of the FSIN to ensure the safety of the Ukrainian pilot Nadezhda Savchenko in any region of the Russian Federation, the training of professional negotiators to work with prisoners during protests, as well as about the correctional institutions of Crimea being transformed after the annexation to Russia. execution of punishments (FSIN) of Russia Anatoly Rudy.
— Anatoly Anatolyevich, the lawyers of the Ukrainian citizen Nadezhda Savchenko feared that in the city of Donetsk, Rostov region, it was impossible to ensure adequate security for the participants in the process and even asked to move her trial to another place. Did the Federal Penitentiary Service manage to ensure the safety of the defendant in this region?
“Of course, her safety is ensured.” Moreover, the department’s resources are sufficient to ensure the safety of high-profile prisoners in any region of the country.
— Can you tell us how Savchenko was transported from Moscow to the Rostov region?
— They transported her in the usual manner. The only thing is that she was kept separately from other convicts. But in general everything was fine: they were transported by train, like the others.
— The bill on the use of special equipment and weapons by employees caused a great resonance in society. Will the comments of human rights activists be taken into account when finalizing it?
— We are working on all comments and will continue to do so at the stage of consideration of the bill in the State Duma.
I would like to note that the penal service as a whole is now focused not on the use of force in conflict situations, but on negotiations.
Recently, our employees in the colonies have never used serious physical force, much less weapons.
We have now introduced a new course for employees and are beginning to seriously train negotiators. That is, people who will be able to talk with convicts and competently resolve emerging problems through negotiations.
We see that all protests take place, as a rule, where the management of the institution does not talk to people. Where the head of the colony sees, hears and, most importantly, has contact with the convicts, this does not happen.
The penal system has power, and according to the current legislation, FSIN employees have the right to use it. Of course, we are working on all options, and now in a short time we can, with the involvement of special forces from neighboring regions in any institution, build up a very serious group of forces and means to block a situation that is getting out of control. But we try not to let it come to that.
I am grateful to my colleagues for not being afraid, going to the masses and talking to convicts, looking straight into their eyes. Although sometimes this can be quite life-threatening: during this year we have already had several cases of attacks on employees.
In order to train prison staff to negotiate correctly, we are introducing a special psychological course. First of all, squad leaders and operatives will go through it.
— It recently became known that in Russia they abandoned the idea of replacing all colonies with European-style prisons, and decided instead to reduce the number of convicts held in one room. Has this work begun? Will it require the creation of new types of institutions?
— Reducing the number of convicts held in one room is today one of the priorities of the penal system.
Now we have barracks-type sleeping quarters for 100-150 people. When we launch new dormitories, we try to make rooms for 10-12 convicts.
From my point of view, it is easier to work with small groups of convicts than to control what is happening in a sleeping area with 100-150 people. For the convicts themselves, accommodation in small rooms is also more convenient.
In theory, we assume that large sleeping areas will be divided into chamber-type rooms. In them, the doors will be open during the day, convicts will work quietly, moving freely in the mode of a local residence zone. At night they will go into chamber-type rooms. There should be a washbasin, toilet and other living conditions. These rooms are expected to be locked at night.
Under such conditions, it will be easier to control what happens indoors at night. In addition, it will be easier to select convicts based on psychological compatibility, that is, it will be possible to isolate psychologically incompatible convicts at night so that they do not figure out problems that arise at night.
— How soon can all institutions be redesigned to meet these standards?
— There are certain difficulties: not all premises can be technologically reconstructed due to the additional load on the foundation, due to the fact that water and sewerage will need to be installed in each room. Sometimes our old dormitories are not subject to major repairs at all, so this can mainly be done during the construction of new dormitories.
In addition, the abandonment of the collective form of detention of convicts will inevitably lead to a reduction in the occupancy limit of correctional colonies by approximately 25%, given the current norm of area per convict (2 square meters per person). Obviously, there will be a need to build additional facilities inside institutions for holding convicts, and in the absence of the possibility of expanding the infrastructure of an existing institution, the construction of new correctional institutions.
As for the timing of this work, everything will depend on the funds we have at our disposal.
— At the time of the annexation of Crimea to Russia, things were not going well in the penitentiary institutions of the peninsula. Tell me, has anything changed now?
“I just recently returned from a business trip to Crimea, where I saw that our institutions were being transformed. All convicts now have uniforms, current repairs of the premises are underway, and money is allocated for major repairs.
There is a certain overcrowding in the pre-trial detention center in Crimea, so we are planning to open a new pre-trial detention center. Now we are deciding how to implement this.
As for medical supplies, initially there was a problem with a small list of medicines, but it has now been resolved: deliveries are ongoing, and the main list of medicines is now available.
— Human rights activists reported that those convicted in Crimea who have retained Ukrainian citizenship are allegedly not provided with medical care. Is this really true?
- No, this is absolutely not true. Currently, there are about 200 Ukrainian citizens in Crimean institutions and we do not leave any of them without medical care. I was informed on the spot that all prisoners were receiving full medications. In addition, the convicts and defendants themselves, with whom I was able to communicate both in the colony and in the pre-trial detention center of Crimea, did not express any complaints about medical care.
— What is the reason for the abolition of a number of penitentiary institutions?
— The reorganization of institutions is connected with several points. Firstly, according to the requirements of the penal code, the convicted person must be at his place of residence or at the place where the crime was committed. But since we do not have institutions of all types of regime in all regions, we send convicts to regions where there are free places. At the same time, we still have institutions that are located in hard-to-reach places.
Secondly, there are still institutions in which there is no centralized sewage system, the water is only cold and there are no prospects for the development of the institution. Production is at a standstill, and both the convicts and our employees live in these unfavorable conditions. Why such heroism in the 21st century? Moreover, the wear and tear of most of these institutions is 100%.
Thirdly, from 2010 to the present, the number of convicts held in Russian correctional colonies has fallen by approximately 200 thousand (from 730 thousand in 2010 to 525 thousand as of September 1, 2015). At the same time, the number of institutions that are less than half full has increased, which entails inefficient use of budget funds.
In this regard, we have been carrying out systematic work for several years to optimize institutions and bring them closer to large administrative centers, which will allow prisoners to maintain social connections, and we will increase the manageability of these institutions by staffing them with more trained and trained personnel.
In total, since 2011, a little more than 70 institutions have been liquidated or mothballed. For this year, the issue of liquidation of another 26 institutions that are located at a great distance has been practically resolved, and there are practically no prospects for their development.
— How is the work of prisoners organized today, have approaches to employment changed? How does the service manage to create new jobs for convicts?
— The main goal of attracting convicts to work is their social adaptation, solving social and everyday issues, changing the attitude of convicts towards life and others, obtaining professions, maintaining and restoring social connections, and developing a positive attitude towards work.
At the beginning of 2015, about 200 thousand convicts were employed, of which 75 thousand are those who pay claims for moral and material damage caused to victims.
We set ourselves the task that the majority of products sold in stores of the penitentiary system are produced in colonies. In addition, we strive to sell our products on the free market. At least for our employees and their families, but I think that other citizens will also buy our products.
Today we are fulfilling government orders for sewing uniforms for internal affairs officers and internal troops. In addition, we are actively attracting business to the colony. There are very serious projects with businessmen. This is, for example, a poultry farm in Malechkino near Cherepovets, where free women and convicts work together. It is noteworthy that even after release, some convicts remain to work in our industries.
There are many examples of successful interaction. The institutions produce sewing products, woodworking products, forged products, prefabricated country houses, plastic windows and thermal insulation materials, various types of coatings: paving stones, paving slabs, all kinds of polymer products, various types of furniture and even chopsticks.
Currently, the territorial bodies of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia are at the stage of concluding agreements for a total amount of over 100 million rubles.
— What is the average salary of convicts today?
— The salaries of convicts working at production facilities of the penal system and for entrepreneurs who have located production in colonies have increased by almost 50% over the past five years.
At the same time, the average monthly wage of convicts who had fully worked the standard time and fulfilled the established production standards exceeded the minimum wage (5,554 rubles in 2014) and amounted to 5,714 rubles.
— Do people with disabilities have the opportunity to occupy themselves and earn a living while in prison? Can convicted teenagers work?
“Now we set ourselves the task of creating an accessible environment and jobs for people with disabilities. We plan to involve minors in labor as well. Naturally, everything is in accordance with labor laws.
Thus, we send small orders to educational colonies for teenagers, in particular for sewing production. Many teenagers are happy to work and earn money.
Education for teenagers is organized taking into account the requirements of the modern world. Particular attention is paid to training in demand professions related to the use of computer technology and modern equipment.
In general, the education of convicts is one of the priority areas of their social rehabilitation. Thus, in the 2014 academic year, more than 162 thousand convicts were trained in blue-collar professions; in 9 months of 2015, about 90 thousand convicts were trained.
— To combat crime among convicts, emphasis was placed on the introduction of modern engineering and technical means of security and supervision. What is the current level of equipment of institutions with them?
— Over 10 years, the number of technical means of security and supervision of FSIN institutions has increased more than 5 times. Today there are more than 155 thousand of them in use, more than 15 types of security systems and their modifications.
From 2013 to 2015, about 10 thousand security detectors (detection devices), almost 1,700 pieces of inspection equipment were supplied to our institutions - these are various metal detectors, detectors for detecting electronic devices, X-ray television installations for inspecting parcels, parcels and packages, about 1,550 video cameras for various purposes : dome controlled and stationary.
Since 2013, employees working directly with prisoners have been provided with portable video recorders. They are needed to prevent conflicts between staff and prisoners, as well as to eliminate the possibility of transferring prohibited items and provocations.
Some territorial authorities use biometric identity recognition systems when conducting checks on convicts. The principle of operation is that the scanned fingerprints of convicts, their last name, first name, patronymic, year of birth and photograph are entered into a common database broken down for each convicted person individually; it is impossible to falsify them. The system allows you to check convicts automatically, spending no more than three seconds to check one convict.
— Are all institutions today equipped with integrated security systems? How does their installation affect the environment in institutions?
— By 2013, the equipment of institutions with integrated security systems was 53%. By the end of 2015, the equipment of penal institutions with integrated security systems should reach 72%. Their use, of course, helps to reduce the number of violations both on the part of convicted persons (under investigation) and on the part of the staff of institutions.
When organizing control over the behavior of convicts, the main priority is placed on video surveillance subsystems that are part of integrated security systems. They have a subconscious impact on the behavior of convicts, as well as employees of the institution, preventing them from committing various offenses and crimes, as well as relapse.
Thanks to integrated security systems, the number of malicious violations of the established procedure for serving sentences by convicts decreased by 10%. In 2015, 7 attempted escapes from guards and 6 attempts by convicts to enter the internal restricted areas of institutions were prevented.
It is difficult to say whether the heads of the Federal Department of Corrections are familiar with the principle of Pareto distribution (also known as the 20 to 80 principle), in which, for example, 20 percent of working people do 80 percent of the useful work (and vice versa), or 20% of capital is lost in the pockets of 80% of the population, leaving them to enjoy only a fifth of material wealth. About the usefulness of the work of this structure, tainted by many years of leadership Alexandra Reimer, there is nothing laudatory to say. But in the distribution of housing subsidies, the department’s employees not only achieved the Italian sociologist’s indicators, but also significantly improved them: a third of the corresponding funding for the prison department went to only nine high-ranking officers. By the way, the system of taking away housing from colleagues turned out to be copied from practices of the Ministry of Defense the times of Serdyukov.
The Accounts Chamber and the Office of the President of the Russian Federation for the fight against corruption are checking the legality of receipt the highest general of the prison department free housing subsidies.
The FSIN says that they are not afraid of any inspections, because in their department, according to the deputy director and head of the housing commission Oleg Korshunov , « the most transparent distribution system of all law enforcement agencies and there are no violations."
Last year, the Accounts Chamber already conducted an audit of the financial and economic activities of the Federal Penitentiary Service and revealed massive violations of budgetary and other legislation; shocking figures were announced - 3.8 billion rubles were recognized as ineffective expenses, says State Duma deputy Anton Ishchenko. - However government money and further spent as they please: subsidies to generals amount to 13 million, 15 million rubles and 16 million rubles - and all this to the detriment of ordinary employees who cannot wait for housing or compensation for its purchase for years and complain about the opacity of queues in many instances, including queue for an appointment with deputies.
At the same time, according to Ishchenko, those who received multimillion-dollar housing loans were already doing well.
Judging by the declarations, the income of these officers exceeds 2 million rubles a year - by all standards this is a very decent salary, in fact the level of a minister,” notes Ishchenko. - And they themselves, unlike ordinary employees, can buy their own housing, and not receive it at the expense of the state.
The news that money came from the federal budget for one-time social payments for the purchase or construction of housing spread before the New Year.
This was not officially reported, but the accounting department had a crush of people waiting to receive apartments for 10–15 years, say sources in the Federal Penitentiary Service. - Everyone was shaking papers, almost fighting with each other, because it was said that there would be a separate queue to receive gratuitous subsidies. Then a special commission was created, which was supposed to consider appeals from officers. And people stood there for days too.
But, according to an informed interlocutor, no one saw the generals in these lines. There was only a rumor that some of the deputy directors of the service, who had their own housing, suddenly found themselves homeless. And then, when the declarations were made public, the rumor turned out to be true.
For example, according to the income statement for 2012, the deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service Anatoly Rudy earned 1.6 million rubles, his wife 1.1 million rubles. They also listed two apartments: did Rudoy own them? shares with an area of 63 sq. m, also an apartment in use with an area of 38.8 sq. m. m and a garage. In addition to similar shares in two apartments, the wife also owned a Toyota RAV-4.
In his income information for 2013, Anatoly Rudy indicated that he earned 19.5 million rubles, taking into account a one-time social payment for the purchase or construction of residential premises in the amount of 16.3 million rubles. Anatoly Rudy came to the FSIN in October 2012; before that, he, together with the current director Gennady Kornienko, worked in the State Courier Service.
Another deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service, Alexander Sapozhnikov, indicated in his 2012 declaration that he owns a land plot of 1.6 thousand square meters. m, house - 314 sq. m, ? in shared ownership of an apartment with an area of 79 sq. m, as well as housing in use 61 sq. m. In 2013, according to income information, Sapozhnikov also received a payment as needing housing in the amount of 16.1 million rubles. General Sapozhnikov arrived in Moscow from St. Petersburg, he is also Gennady Kornienko’s creation; before his transfer to the FSIN in 2012, he was deputy head of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.
The head of the operational department of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, Evgeny Gnedov, arrived in Moscow from Novosibirsk. In 2012, he owned a land plot with an area of 570 square meters. m, apartment 63 sq. m, also listed behind it was a dorm room. Gnedov’s wife was jointly owned by an apartment with an area of 63 square meters. m, a dorm room is in use. In 2013, according to income information, Gnedov received a one-time payment from the state in the amount of 21.3 million rubles.
Deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service and head of the housing commission Oleg Korshunov said in his interview that there are no violations when allocating these loans there are no.
The director of the department, by law, has the right to issue such subsidies out of turn to high-ranking employees, starting with the heads of the department, explains Korshunov. - Well, it’s not entirely normal when the 1st Deputy Director of the department, Alexander Rudy, who lives in Balashikha, stands in traffic jams for five hours, instead of working for the benefit of all FSIN employees during this time. And how else, if not with housing, can you motivate the necessary employees?
The income statement of the head of the department for organizing the activities of prisons and pretrial detention centers, Valery Boyarinev, underwent interesting metamorphoses over the year. In his income information for 2012, he indicated that he owned a land plot of 1 thousand square meters. m, land plot 583 sq. m, residential building 367 sq. m, cottage and apartment in use 69 sq. m. In the information on income for 2013, Boyarinev owned only a dacha and a land plot of 583 square meters. m, and the residential building “passed” into use. Also disappeared from Land Rover's declaration. But a subsidy of 22 million rubles appeared.
The head of the security and escort department of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Russian Federation, Alexander Khabarov, indicated in his income statement for 2012 that he has an apartment of 49 square meters. m, and his wife owns an apartment with an area of 63 square meters. m. According to the information for 2013, the wife turned out to be homeless, and Khabarov received 19.5 million rubles.
The head of the department for the execution of sentences and special accounting of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, Sergei Esipov, according to the declaration for 2012, had a dormitory room of 44 square meters. m, as well as an apartment of 40 sq. m. In addition to this housing, the wife had another apartment - 74 sq. m. m. In 2013, Esipov received a subsidy of 23.8 million rubles.
The head of the PKU Research Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, Andrei Bykov, owned an apartment of 44 square meters in 2012. m and a land plot of 500 sq. m. According to income information, the area of the apartment decreased to 39 square meters. m, but there was a one-time payment in the amount of 13.6 million rubles.
According to the declaration for 2012, the head of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the city of Moscow, Anatoly Tikhomirov, owned an apartment of 74 square meters. m, and his wife owns a land plot of 2 thousand square meters. m. In 2013, according to the declaration, he received a payment for housing in the amount of 29.7 million rubles.
The deputy head of the Federal Penitentiary Service for Moscow, Vladimir Zaets, indicated in his income information for 2012 that he had an apartment of 76 square meters in use. m and a land plot of 500 sq. m. m. In 2013, he also received a payment in the amount of 28.7 million rubles.
Esipov, Bykov, Zayets and Tikhomirov stood, like everyone else, in line to receive a subsidy; they submitted documents on time and therefore received the money, says Oleg Korshunov. - All meetings of our housing commission were videotaped and broadcast on the FSIN website, so everything is transparent. We refuse subsidies, as a rule, in two cases: if over the last 5 years there has been a deliberate deterioration in housing conditions - but this is a general rule in accordance with the Housing Code, and if the documents are incorrectly executed.
In total, according to Korshunov, 16 thousand families of FSIN employees are registered as needy. Of these, 5.5 thousand are families of active employees, 6.5 thousand are families of veterans and about 4 thousand are families of civil servants working in the prison department.
In addition to housing subsidies, we also issue housing certificates,” explains Korshunov. - Last year, 3,740 families received them for 7.5 billion rubles. This year, almost 5 thousand families will receive them - almost 9 billion rubles. Among the law enforcement agencies, we provide our employees with housing the most.
However, not all FSIN employees agree with General Korshunov. Major Natalya Voshchinina, head of a detachment from St. Petersburg colony No. 6, filed a lawsuit against the regional Federal Penitentiary Service for unlawfully excluding her from the housing queue.
I have given my whole life to law enforcement agencies, and in principle I have nothing to lose,” Natalya jokes bitterly. “I’ve already lost everything: my family, my child, and I still haven’t been able to earn money for my corner.” There are only certificates for impeccable service.
Voshchinina began her service in 1994 in Karelia in the criminal investigation department.
“Apartment luck smiled on us only once,” says Natalya. - My husband and I were given a warrant for a service apartment. But we didn’t have time to live in it. Our daughter was born, she turned out to be very sick.
According to Voshchinina, qualified assistance to her child could only be provided in St. Petersburg. And while she and her husband were rushing around hospitals, trying to save the child, they were deprived of housing.
We arrived, and there were new tenants, and our things were already lying on the street,” recalls Natalya. - In general, we stood in front of the door with the sick child and went back to St. Petersburg. They rented an apartment there, I went to work at the Federal Penitentiary Service, and my husband went back to the police.
After several years of ordeal in rented apartments with a sick daughter who constantly needed medical attention, Voshchinina’s husband could not stand it and left. Natalya was left alone with a sick child in her arms. But she didn't give up.
She worked like an ox. I tried, I thought they would notice. She published scientific works in specialized journals and won competitions for squad leaders. She received a diploma from Stockholm University in the course “Social work with juvenile offenders” and all this time she stood in line for an apartment,” she sighs. “I was hoping to save my girl and live with her in my own house.
Natalya's girl died when she was 8 years old. And she herself was kicked off the waiting list.
I should have already received a warrant,” she says. - But the department was headed by a new general and brought his team. And they all immediately received apartments, but I found myself off the list.
In November last year, the Frunzensky District Court of St. Petersburg decided to reinstate Voshchinina on the waiting list, but the city court upheld it. After being reinstated in the queue, Voshchinina submitted documents to receive a lump sum payment for the purchase of residential premises. The documents were sent to Moscow eight months ago, but they still have not been reviewed, although they were required to do so within three months.
Lieutenant Colonel Anatoly Cherny, who served for 27 years, was fired while he was in the hospital, and the entire department knew about it. He appealed all illegal decisions and has already won five cases. In addition, Cherny is entitled to an apartment.
Now there are two queues at the FSIN,” says Cherny. - One is for housing, the second is for receiving a free one-time subsidy payment.
But it is impossible to understand whether you will receive a payment or not, says Cherny. First, the documents are reviewed by a regional commission, after which they are sent to Moscow. According to the order of the director of the Federal Penitentiary Service, the period for reviewing documents by the Moscow commission should not exceed three months. But in reality, the papers sit for 8–9 months.
No one knows whether you were approved for payment or not. Moreover, all this leapfrog is happening against the backdrop of massive layoffs in the Federal Penitentiary Service,” says Cherny. - And if you are fired, then the subsidy according to the law is no longer provided. That's why all the officers who have been retired are now on edge. After all, you might not even wait for an apartment.
According to the lieutenant colonel, there is a rumor among FSIN employees that the consideration of documents is being deliberately delayed. After all, workers can be managed and laid off during the time that they are being harassed by the commission, and this money can be saved.
However, collecting all the necessary documents is also not easy.
If before this you served in another territorial department, then you need to bring certificates from there that you don’t have any housing there,” he says. - God forbid there be some room that one of the spouses inherited from relatives. The subsidy will no longer be provided. But even if there is nothing. You need to go for all the information. And this also means time and money.
In 2012, several officers from the capital’s pre-trial detention center No. 3, who had worked for more than 10 years in the Federal Penitentiary Service and who had been laid off and thrown out of the departmental dormitory, came to us at once. Against this background, payments of $0.5 million for the purchase of luxury apartments look wild and absurd. Yes, generals must earn honestly and earn a lot, but everything has a limit,” Osechkin is outraged. - The gap between the position of ordinary employees and generals is fantastic, as well as the latter’s statements about supposedly protecting ordinary employees, which, against the backdrop of real cases, look hypocritical and insincere.
Deputy Anton Ishchenko believes that multimillion-dollar payments to generals are extremely defiant behavior towards disenfranchised and unprovided ordinary employees of the department.
If we are fighting corruption, then Accounts Chamber, and the relevant unit of the presidential administration should carefully investigate these facts and take the necessary measures, says Ishchenko.
The Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia is headed by the director of the Federal Penitentiary Service, who is appointed and dismissed by the President of the Russian Federation.

The central office of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia is limited to a maximum number of employees of 655 people (security and building maintenance personnel are not taken into account). The wage fund for these workers is 36,196.2 thousand rubles.
The prosecutor's office asks the Investigative Committee to check the deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) Gennady Kornienko Anatoly Rudoy for involvement in abuses in the department’s procurement of shields and body armor. Two years ago, amid rumors about Kornienko’s possible departure, Rudy was named as his possible successor as head of the prison department. On February 9, it was reported that three FSIN generals, Rudoy’s subordinates, had been dismissed at once, but the decree on their resignation was not officially published.
Gulag - yes!
According to RBC, the Zamoskvoretsk prosecutor's office sent materials against officials of the Federal Penitentiary Service to the preliminary investigation authorities, as a result of which four criminal cases were initiated. This is stated in the response of the head of the department of the Prosecutor General's Office for supervision over the implementation of legislation on state defense orders to the appeals of the founder of the supported "United Russia" human rights project Gulagu.net Vladimir Osechkin. We are talking about signs of crimes provided for in Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud), part 1 of Art. 285 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (abuse of official powers), part 1 of Art. 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (exceeding official powers) and Part 1 of Art. 293 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (negligence).
The response from the supervisory department clarifies that the Prosecutor General’s Office sent a copy of Osechkin’s appeal to the preliminary investigation authorities “for inclusion in the materials of criminal cases and to verify the involvement of the first deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service Anatoly Rudoy, former head of the department of engineering, technical and information support, communications and weapons of the Federal Penitentiary Service Yuri Barinov and his deputy Yuri Omelchenko, as well as other officials for the above crimes.”
In addition, in April, based on the results of the audit, the Prosecutor General's Office made a presentation to the director of the Federal Penitentiary Service, the letter from the prosecutor's office says. Among other things, the subject of the audit was the contracts of the Federal Institution “Main Center for Engineering, Technical Support and Communications” of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia ( GCITOiS) with the company NPP KLASS JSC for the supply of bulletproof steel shields, body armor, protective helmets and shields for the needs of the penal system, an employee of the Prosecutor General’s Office explains in a letter.
Shields and body armor
The human rights activist’s statement, which formed the basis for the prosecutor’s investigation, states that the ex-head of the State Center for Traumatology and Safety, Igor Shaikov, who led the center, was fired in 2015 after he refused to follow instructions related to the purchase of body armor.
“In 2015, I was persuaded to post an incorrect technical specification, which was aimed at only one supplier,” said Igor Shaikov. - At the same time, the cost of the contract was greatly inflated. When we received the technical specifications handed down from above, the product price was 96 million rubles.”
The requirements specified in the technical specifications spoke of the need to equip body armor with aluminum plates with a certain bending angle of these plates, Shaikov explained. Such body armor was produced by the company JSC NPP Klass.
According to Shaikov, after analyzing the market, GCITOiS employees working under his supervision reduced the purchase amount to 72 million rubles and expanded the list of possible manufacturers. “Then I received instructions from the leadership of the FSIN to return to the previous version of the terms of reference, after which I was fired due to refusal to do this,” says the former head of the FSIN unit.
Progress of the investigation
In April, the prison department reported that the FSIN’s own security department also carried out an inspection, during which violations were discovered in the activities of the State Central Inspectorate for Internal Affairs and Security. The FSIN message said that all payments related to the supply of equipment were suspended, and a number of heads of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Federal Penitentiary Service and the Department of Engineering, Technical and Information Support, Communications and Weapons of the Federal Penitentiary Service were removed from their posts.
“There was no illegal spending of budget funds,” the message emphasized.
The head of the department of engineering, technical and information support, communications and weapons of the Federal Penitentiary Service, Yuri Barinov, resigned from his position in February. The official submitted his resignation in August 2017, when the department’s supervisor changed (that is, Anatoly Rudy), said a source close to the Penitentiary Service. At the same time, the head of the legal department of the service, Leonid Klimakov, the head of the main department of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Irkutsk region, Anatoly Kilanov, as well as Colonel Evgeny Lukyanets, who held the position of head of the department for organizing the execution of sentences not related to the isolation of convicts, were released from their duties at their own request. from society.
The Investigative Committee is already investigating a criminal case in which GCITOiS appears: in February, investigators opened a case on the theft of budget funds during the purchase of walkie-talkies for 141.6 million rubles. As the agency previously reported "Ruspres", former director of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Center for Information Technology Support and Communications” (CITOS) of the Federal Penitentiary Service, Alexander Tarasov, was accused of abuse of power and embezzlement.
