The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info are starting a series of articles about the corrupt nexus of the top leadership of the Lipetsk region and local security officials.

 

In June 2020, Gennady Gennadievich Anisimov was appointed prosecutor of the Lipetsk region. Nine months later, Dmitry Aleksandrovich Chistyakov, transferred from the Kostroma region, was appointed head of the anti-corruption department. It is worth noting that, according to Chistyakov D. A., he is a friend of Anisimov G. G. and worked with him as an assistant prosecutor

in the Kostroma region, in one of the districts.

As a source of the VChK-OGPU telegram channel and Rucriminal.info said, with the arrival of D. A. Chistyakov to the Lipetsk Region Prosecutor's Office, almost all "intimate" issues were resolved exclusively through him. At the same time, D. A. Chistyakov himself repeatedly stated that he came to the region for his friend with the prospect of growth, namely with an eye on the position of Deputy Prosecutor of the Lipetsk Region. When communicating with colleagues, he positioned himself as the prosecutor's right hand and his informal deputy.

The entire period of Anisimov G. G.'s tenure as the Lipetsk Region Prosecutor has been headed by Igor Georgievich Artamonov.

And this entire period is characterized by an ambiguous order of their communication and working interaction. The figure of the head of the regional department of the FSB of Russia played a significant role in this order.

Thus, during the period of Vladimir Aleksandrovich Ovchinnikov's leadership of the Department, Anisimov G. G. positioned himself as a fighter against corruption and a principled prosecutor. In 2021, the regional FSB department, with the full support of the prosecutor's office, implemented a development, as a result of which a criminal case was initiated on the fact of abuse of office by the Deputy Governor of the Lipetsk Region I. V. Tuzov and the head of the regional department of roads and transport V. I. Malakhov. They were charged with creating preferential conditions for concluding a state contract for road repairs (as part of the implementation of the state program "Safe and High-Quality Roads") with Ruslan-1 LLC, which entailed a violation of the rights and legitimate interests of other bidders. According to the state prosecution, the regional budget suffered damages in the amount of more than 33.5 million rubles. It is worth noting that only V. I. Malakhov was punished. Tuzov I. V., by all accounts, left the Russian Federation with the assistance of the region's leadership and is still on the international wanted list. The investigation only managed to achieve an arrest in absentia, while it is important that this was only possible on the fourth attempt. And this was caused by the fact that Tuzov I. A. was a key link in the newly formed team of the Governor of the Lipetsk Region and was, in fact, his "right hand".

In the fall of 2022, Yuri Gennadievich Shumilin was appointed head of the UFSB for the Lipetsk Region, whose arrival radically changed the balance of power and the already announced order of interaction between the prosecutor and the governor of the region.

The interlocutor of the VChK-OGPU says that exclusively friendly, trusting relations have developed between the new leader and the governor. The head of the subject received full support in resolving almost any issues, including "repressions" against undesirable persons. And as was announced earlier, the position of the prosecutor of the Lipetsk Region has changed dramatically.

A striking example of the consolidation of forces to resolve issues important to these persons was the situation around Teplosfera LLC, the main beneficiaries of which are Guskov A. and former employee of the UFSB for the Lipetsk Region Polyakov I. V.

On March 31, 2023, the investigator for especially important cases (investigation of cybercrimes and crimes in the sphere of high technologies) of the second department for the investigation of especially important cases (on crimes against state power and in the sphere of economy) of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Lipetsk Region, Senior Lieutenant of Justice A.V. Larin, based on the materials received from the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the Lipetsk Region (tax evasion by the management of Teplosfera LLC), opened a criminal case (No. 123024200130000) on the grounds of a crime under paragraph "b" of Part 2 of Article 199 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation against the director, V.G. Solilov. Here Rucriminal.info would like to point out that Guskov A. is very closely connected personally with the governor of the Lipetsk Region and the head of the regional FSB department. This is expressed in the provision of preferences in terms of public-private partnerships, provision of services, priorities for the development of business structures, lobbying of interests.

And only the lazy do not write and talk about the "monetization" of all issues between the Governor of the Lipetsk Region

and Guskov A. in the region.

The total amount of debt, according to the results of 2 on-site tax audits, amounted to about 700 million rubles.

The case was officially registered and entered into the electronic database for statistical reporting.

In continuation of the consideration of this issue in the region a meeting was scheduled in the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation under the leadership of its head, to which the head of the Federal Tax Service, the Chief Federal Inspector, and the main beneficiary of Teplosfera LLC, Guskov A., was invited, who arrived at the meeting in his personal car together with the head of the Federal Security Service, Shumilin Yu. G. When asked by the head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in what capacity Shumilin Yu. G. wanted to participate in the meeting, the latter answered: "... as a listener." The next day after the initiation of the criminal case, the Governor of the Lipetsk Region, Artamonov I. G., personally called Anisimov G. G.

and asked to help Guskov A. by stopping the criminal prosecution of the latter. On the same day, after the call of the governor to Anisimov G. G., Shumilin Yu. G. arrived.

As a result, the resolution was withdrawn from consideration - not cancelled, not suspended, but simply an attempt was made to destroy it. This circumstance characterizes a gross violation of procedural rules by the supervisory authorities. However, understanding that the case was opened through an electronic database, it was not possible to completely delete it. In connection with this, avoiding publicity of this violation, the prosecutor's office gave the order to continue the investigation, demanding the most loyal attitude to A. Guskov (a copy of the resolution

on the initiation of a criminal case has been preserved and is available to a number of people in the subject).

As a result, we can conclude - a situation has developed in the region in which the governor of the Lipetsk region, Artamonov I. G. and the head of the UFSB Shumilin Yu. G. - together for each other with the businessman Guskov A., and all who interfere with them are enemies.
