Recently, the inhabitant of the political Olympus of Ukraine. He is included in the circle of the most influential members of the Party of Regions.

He headed the election headquarters. Deputy Head of the Party and Fractions of Regionals in Parliament. Member of the Presidium of the Political Council PR.

Scandals. After the 2004 presidential election and the "Orange Revolution", Kolesnikov got under the scope of political opponents who came to power. As part of the implementation of the pre-election slogan "Bandits - prisons!" Law enforcement agencies opened a criminal case against the chairman of the Donetsk regional council. In particular, it was incriminated to the establishment with the use of extortion of shares of the fashionable Donetsk shopping center "White Swan". Several months the politician sat in the SIZO. Eminent foreign and domestic lawyers with the support of authoritative politicians-regionalov achieved the liberation of Kolesnikov from custody and closing a criminal case "due to the absence of a crime composition." And later the victim on the "case of Kolesnikov", the former co-owner of the White Swan, he himself was under the investigation - "for the country of false testimony."

Coming out of the Catalago in August 2005, the head of the Donetsk regional council promised to stubcide behind the lattice of "orange", the law enforcement officers on him (the first thing - the ex-chapter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs). Nevertheless, having come to power in the parliamentary elections of 2006, the party of regions of any of the high-ranking "orange" competitors was not planted. And the kolesnikov himself was not against the creation of a "wide coalition" with the transcript of our Ukraine.

However, after the victory in the presidential election-2010 leader of the Regionals of Yanukovych, some opponents of the "White-Blue" for the bastard were used - in particular, the ex-prime minister and the ex-head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Lutsenko.

At the end of December 2010, a contract was signed with Hyundai Corporation to obtain 10 new interregional electric trains.

It is no coincidence that the oligarch entrusted Kolesnikov's post of vice president of the Shakhtar Football Club - not the most profitable, but one of his favorite business projects.

General Kolesnikov Boris is one of the most controversial figures in the history of the modern MIA. Tragic fate, sudden accusation of corruption, strange death. In his case, there were many ambiguities, he was a significant person in our country, participated in the disclosure of many corruption cases, and ultimately he himself was under investigation and was accused of factories.

Youth

Born on June 27, 1977 in the educated family. His father was a professor at the Department of the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so initially the boy's fate was solved. General Boris Kolesnikov, whose biography, like any employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is not too announced, received from the Father all the necessary knowledge in order to become a good law enforcement defender.

He began his career as a regular police officer, together with his future leader, Denis Sugarbov, with which in the future side by side revealed a lot of crimes.

I started my career in the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Northern District, Moscow, actively struggling with crime. In the future, it was transferred to the central administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. For several years, I worked as an ordinary operative, and then got an increase and became the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Professional activity

After reorganization in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in August 2011, was transferred to the position of head of the Combination Department in the Budget Sphere. And even a year later, he became the Deputy Head of the Gueppq, and was now engaged not only in the investigation of crimes in the budget sphere, but also by the fight against corruption. General Boris Kolesnikov, Biographical Biography is saturated with a variety of events, in October 2013, at the age of 36, he received a police rank of major general.

He participated in the disclosure of many high-profile affairs: "Oboronservis", participated in the exposure of the scam with tomographs, the disclosure of the case about the bribery of the head of the Rosreestra, the head doctor of the Polyclinic Anatoly Bronvene and in other high-profile affairs.

A family

About the personal life of Boris Kolesnikov known a little. He was married and happy in marriage. General Kolesnikov Boris, marriage Victoria Kolesnikov, was in marriage three minors. For the family, the former Major General belonged to very trembling, loved his wife and his children.

His wife Victoria did not believe in the suicide of her husband. Immediately after the death of Boris, she repeatedly declared to journalists that her husband was killed.

Accusation

A decent career of a young Major General broke into one moment. At the end of the autumn of 2013, his department began developing a business against the heads of the FSB. One of the developed FDMS Foundation was the head of the FSB staff, and the other is the Deputy Head of the FSB Department. After that, everything went awry. General Kolesnikov Borisbyl was summoned to the Investigative Committee for interrogation, smoothly crushed into arrest. He was accused of exceeding the powers, bribery and entered into custody. There is information that Boris Kolesnikov and Denis Sugobodov recognized their guilt and tried to bribe the investigative committee.

According to the investigation, Boris Kolesnikov and Denis Sugobodov had property in the amount of 300 million rubles. One of the versions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was even based on the fact that General and 12 more operatives who were in his subordination independently facilitated corruption cases, substituting officials.

Various unpleasant rumors concerning Major General began to appear in the press, as to the fact that he used drugs. Whether it was against a young employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs fabricated or not, still remains a mystery. General Boris Kolesnikov, the familycaster was confident in his absolute innocence, was enclosed in custody and placed in the remand insulator.

Press on the arrest and death of Boris Kolesnikov

The case of Boris Kolesnikova received a wide in the press, various theories were put forward regarding the guilty of the former employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the crimes in which he was accused. It existed that General Kolesnikov Boris was in prison because he was too actively taken into the development of security officers.

However, this version is no more than the theory, documented. In newspapers, magazines, the Internet there has been a huge number of general photos under investigation, in prison, in questioning, behind bars in the chamber.

In March 2014, General Kolesnikov Borisbyl deprived of the title by presidential decree. In April of the same year, he tried to present his version of events to high-ranking officials. And in a month I wrote a statement in the ECHR that his life is threatened. In the same period, being in the SIZO, he began to receive one after another "domestic injuries." There is information that, being under investigation, he repeatedly tried to commit suicide.

Death, funeral

The life of Kolesnikov blunted on June 16, 2014. According to the official version, he was asked to the toilet during the interrogation, but, after going to the corridor, he knocked off the police officer, rested to the window and jumped from the balcony. Crashed to death, jumping from the 6th floor. General Boris Kolesnikov, whose photo is available in the article, committed suicide.

According to the lawyer Boris Kolesnikova, George Antonova, the former Major General forbidden to bury with the honors. There was no escort, nor a volley or a military orchestra. They buried him at the funeral gathered about 150-200 people. But none of the former colleagues came in military uniform.

Versions of death

The death of General Boris KolesnikovanTeeped in the SIZO. However, there was no accurate cause of his death. According to one of the versions, he was brought to suicide. This was told by the father of the deceased newspaper Kommersant.

There is a theory that as a result of the acquired brain injuries in the SIZO, his psyche was broken. In that ill-fated day of the interrogation, he had a pressure, he was very depressed, therefore he jumped out of the window. In the media Boris Kolesnikov, they describe as a drug addict who broke his head and threw out of the window in the chamber.

One of the assumptions is that he was struck in prison in prison, and then dried out of the window. There is an assumption that his death is connected with the change of power in the "deny" sphere, because it is precisely the chariots and snowdrifts "supervised" this market sector.

Doubt

Anna Stavitskaya lawyer, told about the events on the day of the death of the former general, on June 16. According to her, Kolesnikov and the investigator of Novikov went to the balcony together. What happened there is unknown. But the investigator returned already alone. He said that Major General jumped out of the window.

And a few later, Vladimir Markin, the representative of the SC, voiced the other version, according to which the policeman was defended, rested to the balcony and jumped off him. But here there is a small inconsistency: where did Boris Kolesniki know where the balcony was opened exactly?

The wife of the accused Victoria repeatedly said that she was forbidden to see her husband, and she never met him while he was in the SIZO. Victoria could not believe that her husband had committed suicide, leaving her one and three young children. He loved his family too much and never did it, she said so.

Anton Flowers, Chairman ONK, spoke after the death of a suspect that Boris repeatedly expressed fears and was afraid of something while he was in the detention facility. He even slipped the phrases that he fears someone from loved ones. Boris Kolesnikov died at the age of 37, leaving his wife and children. And the unified version of the cause of his death has not yet been established.

Three years have passed since the death of the general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Boris Kolesnikov. He was Deputy Head of Guebipk Denis Sugobiv, which is now in the SIZO. Kolesnikov died, dropping out of the window in the building of the investigative committee, where he was brought to the interrogation. We publish our material of three years ago, in which Major Police, Ivan Kosomrov, told Boris Kolesnikov's death. He was lucky on that day were taken to interrogation in SC along with Kolesnikov. And he was the last one who spoke with the fallen general.

Contrast employees of Guebipk, as well as about. In one of the materials we promised to talk about the meeting of the Department of Management "B" Guebipk Major Ivan Kosova with general Boris Kolesnikov. Before the last interrogation of Boris Kolesnikov was taken to the building of the Investigative Committee in one car facility with Ivan Kosomrov. It was June 16, 2014, the death of the general. He told Ivan Kourow about some of the details of his stay in Sizo Lefortovo.

Boris Kolesnikov got into Lefortovo SIZO back in February. And at court sessions, and in an interview with journalists, he always stated his innocence. Nevertheless, the Kolesnikovs of the RF IC changed the organization of the criminal community, the excess of the authority and provocation of the bribe. Already these accusations caused moral suffering to General Guebipk.

In addition, psychological and physical impact were provided in the SIZO to the general. Boris Kolesnikov stated that psychotropic drugs mixed in food and drink, he feels badly.

Boris Kolesnikov

Boris Kolesnikova's father in an interview to one of the publications told: "Boris is 30 kg lost. He terribly looked - the skin remained and bones. When he brought the skull for the first time in the SIZO, it was accurate - his family was scared, they said that the family would suffer. Therefore, the son said that he supposedly soap the window and fell. When he fell into the hospital, lawyers presented medical documents. Of these, it was: how many times had to fall to get such injuries to get and break the skull? Hospital doctors number 5 gave a preliminary conclusion that the blows were inflicted with a blunt solid subject on the fixed head. So he was lying, and it was placed...».

Journalists expressed different assumptions about the causes of the injury of the head received by Boris Kolesnikov in the SIZO. Most editions converged in one: the general "fell from the shone." But the conclusion of physicians, on the one hand, and the nature of the injury - on the other, do not confirm this version. The injury was localized in the frontal-dark area.

It is impossible to imagine the fall of an adult with an increase in adult for this head of the head! How Boris Kolesnikov received these injuries and for what reason - and remained a mystery. However, the curtain of the mystery slightly opened Evgeny Shermanovwhich in one of the interviews Pascha stated: " In the corruption of state structures there are stakeholders" Call these individuals, unfortunately, ne E. Shermanov nor other subordinates Denis Sugobiva Now can not. Boris Kolesnikov, because worried about the safety of his family.

Ivan Kosomrov and Boris Kolesnikov together drove in the car for the transport of prisoners to the building of the investigative committee. The general told a colleague about some details of his stay in the SIZO.

Ivan Kosomrov: " Kolesnikov said that S.A. Novikov And other investigators of the investigative group have psychological pressure on general: they threatened Kolesnikov, which will attract his spouse to criminal responsibility. S.A. Novikov and other investigators inconscepted general to the self-shaft on charged charges, as well as to accusatory testimony regarding subordinate employees of the GEBIPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, the head of the GEBIPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation D.A. Sugobiv and other high-ranking officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs».

By the way, Denis Sugobov speaks in an interview with Easter, that the most serious experiences of Boris were anxiety for the safety of his wife and children: " It is the threats to bring his wife to criminal liability for the commission of a particularly serious crime, to deprive her freedom for a long time, and three young children are sent to orphanages, and the proposals to avoid all this in exchange for the reservation of their colleagues, became a push for the choice of chariot In his opinion, allowed to protect his relatives not at the cost of lies and loss of honor and dignity, but at the cost of their own life».

Pay attention to one important fact: it is the investigator of the SC of the Russian Federation S.A. Novikov, which refers to Boris Kolesnikov in recognizing Ivan Kosomrov, did not give general the opportunity to see his wife and children. According to Ivan Kosova, S.A. Novikov repeatedly and threatened him physical violence to incline to the self and giving false testimony regarding his colleagues. It is noteworthy that it was S.A. himself Novikov considered all the complaints about the unlawful actions of officials of the investigative committee against the enclosed officers of the GEBIPK.

We give another story. Prosecutor of the Leningrad special footprocket A.E. Kozlov. told I.Yu. Kosomrov (they were mods), that the same style - threats to bring to criminal responsibility to the spouse - S.A. Novikov worked out on it. In addition, Father S.A. Kozlova, who witnessed in the case of the Son, was brought to suicide attempt. After recovery, the father tried to attract the investigator to criminal responsibility for the exceeding authority and for bringing the face to suicide (Article 110, 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). But these complaints did not reach the trial. Guess why? They were considered by the investigator S.A. Novikov.

Obviously, to respond to the exceeding authority in front of the family of the deceased Boris Kolesnikov, in which three young children remained, no one will have to anyone.

Not only people are involved in the fight against corruptioners. They can not do without the help of civilians, and usually make bold and decent people. What happened in this story? Why are citizens who have collaborated with Guebipk's rights doubted the legality of the actions of the Guebovtsev who conducted operational search activities (ORM), although they knew that corrupt officials were taken with political and recognized in the facts of theft and receptions of bribes?! What made S.A. Laskina, A.A. Klashkin and A.V. Leonov Stake up employees of Guebipk? Worked all the same methods S.A. Novikov and other investigators?

Like, Smolensk Court, as before, Odintsovo in the case of S.A. Laskina, made it A.V. Leonov The verdict in which the suspended period appears. Recall that Guebovtsev's lawyers insisted on the return of criminal cases and consideration in the framework of a common business about provocation. Because the allocation of Leonov and Laskina, the allocation of work on "Pupil" and Laskina and sentences violate the rights of the accused employees of Gueppk. This allows the investigative committee to get the right sentence without any problems, in fact, for the automatic further condemnation of GEBIPK employees. Is this the purpose of the investigation?!

But back to what happened on June 16, 2014 (the Day of the death of Boris Kolesnikov). At 11.30, the convoy brought I. Kosova and B. Kolesnikov to the building of the Investigative Committee, and they were delivered to the Cabinets of Investigators.

Ivan Kosomrov said that before entering the office, Boris Kolesnikov wanted to faretle to shaking a subordinate hand in handcuffs, and the convoy allowed that. At the same time, the general managed to say: " They want to get me, they will get me. You should not just suffer. goodbye».

After that, suspected employees of Gueppk were divorced at different cabinets of investigators, but due to the ailment of Ivan Kosomrov was released and sent to the car with a conversion. From the moment of farewell to Kolesnikov, about a half hours passed.

Ivan Kosomrov: " After a half hours after I was placed in a cage of a convoy machine, I saw from the main entrance of the building of the Investigative Committee, one of Kolesnikov's conversions ran out and headed towards the spare exit from the building, located closer to the street. Bauman. From the car, too, ran an escort, which accompanied me. A few minutes later he returned and said: "The general died».

After some time, another employee came to the convoy car, accompanied Kolesnikov, and told Konvoye: " The investigator ordered to convey so that everyone adhered to the same version: General had to be in the toilet, so handcuffs were removed from it. He jumped out of the toilet, pushed the convoy and rushed from the balcony».

Why did the investigator needed a version of the removal of handcuffs before going to the toilet and the wrapper of the convoy, if the media depict a different picture of the death of Boris Kolesnikov? What actually happened on the last interrogation, after which the general did not? Who will be the next victim in this cruel "chess party"? Probably, after the death of Boris Kolesnikov, the arrested colleagues of the deceased often reflect on these issues, and many other operating officers of Guebipk.

On October 21, 2010, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Boris Kolesnikov and General Director of the EURONEWS Executive Board Michael Peters signed a Memorandum on the creation and dissemination of Euronews international news in Ukrainian.

Thus, Ukraine became the first country of the world, which was entitled to the production of local Ukrainian news and distribute these news on a regular basis within the broadcast of the Ukrainian version of Euronews.

The head of the Ukrainian branch of the EuroNews Valid Arfus in his account on Facebook on this occasion wrote: "... This project would not be possible without will, support and perseverance Boris Kolesnikov and Anna Herman, for which they thank you so much !!!".

According to UEFA estimates in January 2008, the Ukraine's infrastructure remained in the same form as at the time of the country's proclamation by the Euro 2012 hostess (April 18, 2007). UEFA's leadership, headed by President Michel Platini, warned Ukraine about the possible tournament in another country, if during 2008 the pace of preparation for euro will not increase.

Challenge number one for Kolesnikov - as a curator for the preparation for Euro 2012 - was the defense of Ukraine's right to hold the European Football Championship.

In June 2010, the UEFA Supervisory Board decided to approve the right to hold the 2012 European Football Championship in all four Ukrainian cities - Kiev, Donetsk, Lviv and Kharkov, in connection with this, Boris Kolesnikov said the press: "Ukraine may no longer be afraid that Some of its cities will be excluded from among the host cities of the 2012 European Football Championship.

According to the data voiced by Boris Kolesnikov, the total cost of preparation costs for the European football championship amounted to about 5 billion dollars.

"We have built 4 airport of international standard for only 18 months. In Kiev, we completed the runway and the new terminal. Fifty million euros were aimed at current expenses, among which - translators, selection and preparation of service personnel, "said B. Kolesnikov in an interview with the Italian edition of Ilsole24ore.

UEFA President and the Executive Committee of the Union thanked the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Boris Kolesnikov for the impeccable organization of Euro 2012 in Ukraine.

Evaluating the work on the organization for Euro 2012, UEFA Operational Director Martin Callen noted: "It was a great tournament that set new standards for the future organization."

"It is very good that they entered UEFA graphics, and now we are fulfilled by the obligations, which previously had serious concerns. I believe that this is a personal merit of Boris Kolesnikov, because it is actively engaged in the issues of Euro 2012, "says Sergey Tigipko.

For the rapid pace of construction and reconstruction of stadiums and airports, UEFA General Secretary of Jianny infantino nickned him super-Boris.
