June 11 police director in St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region appointed Michael Sukhodolsky – the same day he was dismissed from his post as First Deputy Minister of the Interior Ministry and was promoted to Colonel-General Police. In recent years, Michael I. often got in sight of the press, and not always on business topics. BakuToday quotes from some of the publications.

The work that we have such…

Michael Sukhodolsky born May 13, 1964 in Pushkin Mountains of the Pskov region. In 1985 he graduated from the Krasnodar Higher Military School named after Army General Shtemenko (trains specialists in the field of information security). He served in the Soviet army. In 1990 he retired from the armed forces and went to work in the Internal Affairs of Moscow. In 1990-1999 he worked in the 5th district police department of the Central District of Moscow and Economic Crimes. In April 1999, headed the newly created department to combat crime in the area of ​​intellectual property GUBEP Russian Interior Ministry. In August 2000 he was appointed chief of linear ATC at Sheremetyevo Airport. September 23, 2002 became Chief of the security service of the Interior Ministry. December 9, 2004, after the transformation of central board of the department of state protection of property, has been appointed acting chief of the department. In 2005 he was appointed Deputy Minister of the Interior Ministry. April 9, 1997 was awarded a medal “For merits before Fatherland” II degree “for his active work on prevention and detecting crimes.” (Statements. March 2008..) In February 2008 he was appointed First Deputy Minister of the Interior Ministry.

While Michael worked in the Economic Crimes Sukhodolsky and even in Sheremetyevo, his name never appeared in the press. But when he became Chief of the security service of the Interior Ministry, began interviews and quotes from the meetings. Incidentally, in those years off his career to explain in some good contacts with media Vladimir Rushailo and Alexander Voloshin..

But in an interview with the general spoke of one another. On “Echo of Moscow“Sukhodolsky said that” from the security service people do not go at such a young age to come into the private security agency, salary is the same as that of the police officers. But we have a good tradition – financial incentives for our employees. Second – it’s social programs and security and observation is always distinguished by the fact that the social program was indeed not in words but in deeds. And so those employees who work with us, they know that, at least in terms of social security management of their departments in the city, districts, towns, it will take all measures to make employees feel socially secure. “

In addition, he noted that much attention to the structure of the technical equipment as “equipment – it objectively, but all the same person – it is subjective to one degree or another may play a role.”

At one of the departmental meetings, he said that “to protect cash from theft during transport to the Russian Federation created a specialized unit of militia to protect collectors and cashiers. In his words,” exists in the present system of traffic collector may not be fully ensure the safety of transported cash and persons accompanying them. Often not implemented even basic security requirements … “

wrote: “Among the solutions Sukhodolski as Chief GUVO specifically mentioned the establishment of inter-regional focal point for the protection of the transported property, which Moscow’s troops were forced to pass, in particular, the protection of cars big business.”

In March 2005, appointed Deputy Minister of Interior Sukhodolsky, but ultimately public man Michael Sukhodolsky was at the post of First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs. At this position he was appointed in February 2008. “A source at the Interior Ministry calls Sukhodolski young, promising general, its main achievement was the creation of private security on the basis of Federal State Unitary Enterprise” Protection, “which, in fact, monopolized the market for security services. It looked like even a candidate for minister in the event of withdrawal Nurgaliyev,” – wrote After this appointment, “Vedomosti”.

“Kommersant“” At Sukhodolski falls monitoring police public without “pasnosti. It will become the curator of the departments of road safety, order, transport, public order, and will also oversee the Department of Law Enforcement in the closed areas and at sensitive sites. The choice in this case, most likely due to the ability to bring in Mr. Sukhodolski led them to strict discipline departments, as well as to raise the financial and economic performance of some units. So it was, for example, he led other security – GUVO was not only financially independent, but also brought substantial profits “.

And that’s what he told Michael I.: “If we will be more intelligently and efficiently use the allocated funds to us, and will have the opportunity to acquire new equipment, and an apartment building, and salary increase. Service in the police will become more attractive. We were already gone people, but so was qualitatively improve personnel structure. Of course, the increase and public confidence. And this, in my opinion, the main thing. ” (“Rossiyskaya Gazeta”.)

In April last year, Lt. Gen. Michael Sukhodolsky visited the room of military glory of riot police, which is located in the school № 48 in Yekaterinburg, where children of police officers. Michael Sukhodolsky thanked for the work of pupils, school directors and teachers Larissa Pichugin school. “Your school may be called” Cop. “It is often said the word” cop “, but do not always understand what it means. Menthe – is” My only reliable comrade “- said Deputy Minister Michael Sukhodolsky and wished the students good study, giving a few swords and computers.

“Riot policemen did not exceed his powers”

It was the general comment Sukhodolsky gave the press after a hard acceleration Marches of Dissent in Moscow, St. Peterurge and Nizhny Novgorod in April 2008. Human rights activists across Europe then appealed to the Russian leadership to pay attention to the detention and beating of journalists and the general lack of freedom in speech, but First Deputy Minister of the Interior Ministry said: “” Riot policemen did not exceed its powers during the recent actions of the opposition “…

“The police should have provided a full public order in the city, as well as peace of mind of citizens who wanted to spend the weekend in the parks and other public places, and they have coped with this task – said the deputy. Interior Minister Mikhail Sukhodolsky. – During the events, who conducted the opposition riot act properly and professionally, and within the law … Today, however, as always, those who provoked the clashes and received an adequate rebuff, vilify the police, forgetting that our employees are on enforce the law and are authorized to act strictly within the framework of existing legislation. It happens all the time when the desire for indulgence bumps into an obstacle. The organizers of these marches, they know how to properly organize such events. They deliberately (to emphasize that deliberately) went on violations of the law, originally provoking a confrontation. It is also necessary to understand that those citizens who came to these so-called march with a desire to assert their rights, they themselves violate the rights of other citizens who wish to your day off to rest in the center of the city with their families. What happened, you are well know, holding unsanctioned events, attempts to overlap roads, disobeying the requirements of the police, insulting words and actions of our staff, etc. I believe that if the time has not interfered with the police, the consequences of these demonstrations could be sadder. ” With regard to particularly rigid behavior OMON from other cities of Russia, who arrived to Moscow and then St. Peterurg, the general noted that it is – “a normal practice, when in order to ensure public order in major cities at the time of events attracted more power.” ( .) By the way, ex-police chief Piotrovsky then had a long time explaining to the chief editors of media and public …

In December 2010, after performances of young people at the Manege Square in Moscow, General Sukhodolsky also went to the press and said: “With absolute certainty I can say, bodies of internal affairs in general and the special police, in particular, are out of politics and the influence of any external factors, very honestly and accurately performing its main task – to maintain public order and security of the individual and the state … “to emphasize that our response to offenders will be extremely tough order, but adequate, proportionate to the degree and level of damage from emerging threats.” (“Echo of Moscow”).

As curator of the police obschestennoy security in the country, Michael I. The meeting was chaired operational headquarters of the Interior Ministry in 2010-2011 in preparation for all mass events – from the New Year and Easter to celebrate the Victory Day and Crime Prevention to prepare for major sporting events – World Championship Cup and the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. By the way, so the new head of the St. Petersburg police will probably just step up a new post for a few days before the next Economic Forum, which opens June 16. In the status of first deputy he was in recent years was in charge, coordinate and evaluate the work of police on the forum.

“Our police officers better than the U.S.”

After the reform, the Interior Ministry, Mikhail Sukhodolsky began publicly to speak out even more. This is not surprising – he, along with Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev was recertified in its first day – 14 March 2011.

“Every police officer must have good physical preparation and know techniques of judo. All the rest – Legal Affairs, firing weapons, the legal niceties – and then this all can be taught” – said the general in May of this year meeting with the Russian Interior Ministry team in judo and was cited dozens of Russian media.

In April, he arrived at the base of militia Russian Interior Ministry special forces “Lynx” and stated that “the Russian Interior Ministry intends to increase the level of training of regular police officers to the level of special forces.” Speaking to the personnel of the militia “Lynx”, he stressed that “if the personnel of the patrol officers, private security, traffic police at 50 percent with the tools of your (staff militia” Lynx. “- Ed.) Training, citizens would be completely different attitude towards the police, because they would have been assured that police will protect them … ” The deputy minister stressed that the skills and apply moral and psychological preparation. “We do not knowingly put into practice since last year that the system of training patrol officers participate special forces” – the general added. A look at the show of fighters SWAT Sukhodolsky said. that “the police nshi better American.”

In February, the All-Russian conference “Industry of Russia’s security,” Deputy Interior Minister Mikhail Sukhodolsky confirmed the need to strengthen joint efforts of law enforcement agencies and private entities in combating crime and improving public safety. However, he said, there are several constraints that do not allow police to transfer some of its functions to non-State entities. “” Please note – suggested Michael Sukhodolsky – private security companies have a long professional history, not so much. Much more often we are faced with a situation where, after any incident or inspections that resulted in revocation of a license, just a change of signs. “

In December 2010, General Sukhodolsky acted on at the enlarged meeting of district officials and police officers in Moscow: “I, as First Deputy Interior Minister of Russia, I appeal to all the staff, sitting in the hall – change your mindset – the general said. – Enough to do a total search of the administrative delinquents and criminals. We no longer have cane system – the whole emphasis on prevention of crime! ” According to “Komsomolskaya Pravda”, “Hall suddenly burst into applause, but then calmed down when the deputy asked the chiefs of the capital of ATS.

- Why did the chief of the Moscow police have to go to the district offices and report criminal and cereal places – asked in surprise sitting in the hall Sukhodolsky Michael – why you do not poke the nose of his subordinates? I will hold managers who allow their sites to increase killing, rape, robbery and hooliganism.

A little later, at the same meeting, the Deputy Minister said:

- We need to strengthen security in the Moscow subway, because it was simply too dangerous to use, – said Mikhail Sukhodolsky. – In the underground, some allow themselves to uncover the traumatic arms, defy them, to establish national dances in the transitions and on the platforms. How can you yourself can feel safe?

In closing remarks, he asked the Metropolitan Police to remove from city streets and subway stations of illegal taxi drivers, gaming clubs, and finally bring order to the railway stations and airports. “

Nothing human is alien

After the release of data on incomes of senior Interior Ministry, it became clear that General Sukhodolsky and his family – not poor people. In particular, many media have followed “Moskovsky Komsomolets”, that among the wives of police chiefs, “the third place in the country went to his wife first Deputy Interior Minister Mikhail Sukhodolsky: on her account – 4.5 million rubles of annual earnings. And in terms of real estate, which she owns, Ms. Sukhodolsky could easily argue owners of more high positions in the ranking. According to the declaration, she owns two plots of land with total area of ​​3200 square meters. m, three apartments (225 square meters. m in total), a country house (303 square meters. m), non-residential building and garage. no less, “collection” Property also has her husband: Michael Sukhodolski although earnings amounted to “only” 2.3 million rubles, it owns several plots of land (5,500 square meters. m), two houses (about 600 square meters. m) and two apartments (160 sq. km. m total area. “Curiously, one claims to have the former police chief of St. Petersburg and Leningrad region Vladislav Piotrovsky allegedly became his official declared a very large income, but in the same article on all bosses Piotrovsky discharged only two lines and then at the end “Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of St. Petersburg Wladyslaw Piotrowski has earned slightly less than their metropolitan counterparts – 1.4 million rubles, while in 2009, his income amounted to 23.7 million rubles.”

Often, the media got the name of his son Michael Sukhodolski – Gregory. In October, 2008 Gazeta.ru,, like many other media, wrote that “the territory of the Moscow State University. University beat the son of Deputy Interior Sukhodolski Michael Gregory, a second-year student at Moscow State University ekonomfaka. In place of the fight came Sukhodolsky senior. Batterers his son spent the night at the police station. Now they face prosecution. As the source of “Gazety.Ru” which became the casual eye-witness, Gregory Sukhodolsky vacationing with friends in an internet cafe CafeMax, located close to the 2nd Corps Humanitarian University. At the next table sat a company of Caucasians also university students, with whom Sukhodolski quarrel broke out. Who was the instigator of the fight is still unknown. We only know that the son of Deputy Minister out of her victims – two young men repeatedly hit him in the face, including nose. At the scene immediately after the brawl came a few police patrols. Law enforcement officers detained the young men who beat Sukhodolski junior. Half an hour later arrived at the scene and himself lieutenant-general, accompanied by Sukhodolsky ten generals. The press center of the Russian Interior Ministry confirmed the information about the incident, which occurred on the eve of a son of the first deputy head of the department. ” Two months later, two students at Moscow State University were recognized by the district court Nikulinskiy guilty to napadaenii Gregory Sukhodolski. Each and they were sentenced each of them in the form of two years imprisonment with probation for three years. Internet cafes, where the fight occurred at about the same time it was closed.

And in January 2011, circled the Internet a video clip where a guy was driving around Moscow in a jeep with a flashing light and a police jacket with epaulets colonel. “Despite the cap, the machine dutifully avoided, and the driver of the jeep with him riding friends at a cheerful music and laughter friends moved on. Videos were made in 2009 and posted on the Internet by the characters, but noticed them only recently – told “News“Peter Shkumatov, coordinator of the community,” blue bucket “, which is fighting the abuse of drivers with flashing lights. – The people responded to the lively chaos. Especially when the Internet was made that this son of Deputy Interior Minister Mikhail Sukhodolsky. It appears, however, that the hero of the video has nothing to do to the general. “officially declare that my son has nothing to do with this video. I am responsible for him, I know how he was brought up, and proud of it “- said Michael Sukhodolsky. It later emerged that he went on a jeep classmate Gregory Suhodolkogo – son of fairly well-known businessman in Moscow.

But he and Michael I. got in trouble with spetssignalami, more accurately, his alleged support machine. According to the newspaper “Beep“In early June 2010 on the Kaluga road maintenance from Cadillac GMT Deputy Interior Ministry, Mikhail Sukhodolski rammed Mitsubishi Lancer, freeing the way for the boss. The accident woman driver of the second foreign car was a closed head injury, fractured pelvis and shoulder injury. The traffic police it was called “minor injuries”. First, law enforcement authorities have denied the fact of the accident, and then said that it involved a “normal” SUV. Later, the Interior Ministry issued an official statement yet figured Sukhodolski name.

… And a little poetry. Russian actor Yevgeny Leonov-Gladyshev, Said in March 2010 to viewers in Minsk, and it quoted the portal “Belarus Today”“The recently filmed a documentary about the First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Russia, Colonel-General Mikhail Sukhodolsky. A former officer in the Soviet Army, formed by the great, great guy. I can say so, because he – 45, but still I am 57. I photographed his family He was a little worried before the camera, which is normal. And I asked him one question about Evsukova. There’s never been a court decision. Who is responsible for personnel policy today at the police station? As it is, the boy who serves as the fatherland, took out a gun and shot people. So, we must change the whole scheme? Sukhodolsky silent and then said: “What kind of society, this and the police.”
