Yuri Sadovenko, former Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation and former close associate of current Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu, died under strange circumstances at the age of 56. Along with Shoigu, Sadovenko had long maintained friendly operational contact with the 1st Service of the Internal Security Directorate of the FSB, and when he became upset with Shoigu, he shared information with them about corruption in the Ministry of Defense. Sadovenko also communicated regularly with his business partner and frequent partygoer Roman Zolotov, using the social media account of Zolotov's father, Viktor Zolotov, Director of the Russian National Guard, to "resolve" many issues. Rumors circulated among those close to the arrested Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov that Sadovenko played a role in his imprisonment.
According to a source for the VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info, Yuri Sadovenko, while still Deputy Defense Minister and after being stripped of his position, had numerous heavily alcoholic dinners with Roman Zolotov, officers from the FSB "special unit," and others at the Lastochka restaurant on Luzhnetskaya Embankment, as well as at the ERWIN and Chef restaurants on Taras Shevchenko Embankment in the capital. While intoxicated, he often shared many secrets, including the true scale of corruption in the military department, including through his rival and abuser, Timur Ivanov. The amorous Ivanov stole Sviridenko's wife, Maria Kitaeva, and effectively became a father figure to Sadovenko's three children, thereby casting him in a less-than-favorable light in the social circle.
For his part, Sadovenko has repeatedly stated that Shoigu facilitated the exploits of his favorite, Ivanov, and that he will not silently tolerate the insult and, albeit with flowery but triumphant pomp, will carry out the "deed of revenge" to full satisfaction. Timur Ivanov's inner circle still speculates about "Sadovenko's role" in his arrest.
In addition to Roman Zolotov and FSB "special unit" officers, Sadovenko's circle has almost always included the following individuals: Alexander Ivanov, Head of the FSB's Directorate "F," Sergei Zabatyrin, Prosecutor of the Moscow Region, Alexander Sarafanov, former chief corruption official of the Moscow Region Investigative Committee and former deputy head of the entire Main Directorate, Andrei Gluzdakov, Head of the South-Eastern Administrative District Directorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the City of Moscow, Alexander Shaurin, Head of Interregional Office No. 3 of the Federal Tax Service, and businessmen and fixers of various calibers, including members of the management of God Nisanov and Zarakh Iliev's organizations.
Incidentally, one of the main hotbeds of corruption, migrant lawlessness, and various cash-out operations, the "Sadovod" market (owned by Nisanov and Iliev), is located in the South-Eastern Administrative District. Gluzdakov, for a monthly dollar subscription, "resolves" all the market owners' current issues, exclusively in their interests, hoping for a quick career advancement either in the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the National Guard. Gluzdakov is a member of the Zolotov clan.
Earlier, the Cheka-OGPU made two predictions about Yuri Sadovenko's fate. If he succeeds and takes another high-ranking position, it means Roman Zolotov and his friends from the FSB's "special branch" have not failed, and the classified information leaked over the years through the Ministry of Defense has worked. If Yuri Sadovenko is arrested, and arrested by the FSB's Internal Security Directorate, then he's no longer needed and better kept under surveillance at Lefortovo. Otherwise, who knows, he might decide to hand over incriminating evidence not on the Shoigu clan, but on Zolotov himself, his son, and their corrupt connections within the country's law enforcement. After all, it's possible that the "secret" witness Sadovenko could become a good witness, and not just in one case, and for some, that carries a very high risk.
But a third scenario occurred. At 56, the "good witness" Sadovenko died under strange circumstances.
