The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info continue to talk about the number one fixer at the FSB, Valery Bitayev, who is essentially openly trading the highest-ranking security officials, including the first deputy director of the FSB of the Russian Federation. Few can afford his services, for example, his main client, the oligarch Alisher Usmanov. The former military man (a graduate of the Frunze Academy, a participant in the war in Angola, was a fixer back under Serdyukov), official (headed the Volgograd Region representative office in Moscow) and businessman (holder of shares in the security forces) is preparing his replacement in the person of his son. And, despite the revelations, he remains at the center of corruption flows between people with money and people with power. Much has been said about Valery Bitayev's connections with the first deputy head of the FSB and at the same time the main contender for the post of director of the special service, Sergei Korolev. Including in the early posts of the VChK-OGPU. The "take-off" of the fixer coincided with the general's rise in service: after they met (different sources cite the period of Korolev's service in the Ministry of Defense), Bitayev acquired a mansion on the 2nd line of Serebryany Bor, where the neighborhood is only billionaires, security officials and their relatives at the level of heads of federal agencies. Together with his daughter-in-law Tatyana, her brother Artur Berezhnoy joined the Bitayev clan. A graduate of the Pedagogical Institute (Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology), he now insures and services the car fleet of Valery Jr., and is also the main figurehead of the family. As Vazhie Istorii wrote, Valery Bitayev Jr.'s brother-in-law was a co-owner of an oil refinery in the Kaluga region (revenue in 2022 exceeded 37 billion rubles) together with a Gazprom contractor and close associate of criminal authorities Zakhari Kalashov (Shakro Molodoy) and Valery Ledovskikh (Babuin) Konstantin Gogelia.
Artur Berezhnoy also supplied frozen fish to FSIN institutions. Companies supplying food for prisoners received at least several billion rubles under state contracts from the prison department. Galina Bitaeva and Valery Bitayev Jr. also appeared in the founding documents, where there are also records of another participant - Tamara Bakulova. She is the wife of State Duma deputy, former First Deputy Prime Minister of North Ossetia - Alania Zurab Makiyev, who previously worked in the Ministry of Justice.
The leaks contain information about the registration of the Bitayevs as fans for the 2018 FIFA matches. The contact details were those of a woman from Dagestan, who simultaneously registered two high-ranking customs officers for the event. Deputy Head of the Central Energy Customs Office Alexander Sherstobitov and Deputy Head of the Central Customs Administration Grigory Inochkin.
According to a source of the VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info, Valery Bitayev Jr., like his sister Zalina Bitaeva, almost ended up behind bars. According to the source, something recently happened in the life of the heir and his wife Tatyana Bitaeva, due to which they had to urgently leave the country. Preliminary, we are talking about unfulfilled obligations to resolve another issue.
This has already happened.
For example, according to the source, Valery Bitayev Jr. tried but failed to resolve the issue of the former deputy general director of NPO Lavochkin Igor Grinenwald in 2021. The latter had to leave Russia, he was arrested in absentia in a case of fraud on contracts for the ISS space station. And there are many such examples.
Leaks also indirectly indicate departure and problems - the names of the Bitayev spouses appear in the "Left" database. It indicates that they left for the UAE back in the fall of 2022. And also that at the end of last year, Tatyana Bitaeva changed her phone number and created new accounts in messengers. The woman publishes philosophical statuses, but hides her number and nickname.
