In his infancy, the family moved to Leningrad, where he spent his childhood and youth. At school he was a classmate of Boris Gryzlov (ex-minister of the interior and ex-chairman State Duma) and Nikolai Patrushev (ex-director of the FSB of Russia).

First head of department
Throughout Russian history, 7 people led the federal department of the FSB. The very first in 1993 was Colonel General Nikolai Mikhailovich Golushko. At that time, the structure was only being formalized and officially called the Federal Counterintelligence Service of the Russian Federation.
Golushko stayed in this post for only two months, after which he was appointed by President Boris Yeltsin as an adviser to the director of the FSB. In the years Soviet power headed the KGB of the Ukrainian SSR.
Stepashin - director of the FSB
In March 1994, Lieutenant General Sergei Vadimovich Stepashin became head of the Federal Counterintelligence Service. Under him, the Federal Security Service was founded in April 1995. Formally, he became the first director of the FSB of Russia. True, in this position he stayed only two and a half months.
After that, he did not get lost in high government positions. Stepashin was the Minister of Justice, headed the post of first deputy and until 2013 headed the Accounts Chamber. Currently, he heads the supervisory board of a state corporation that promotes the reform of the Russian housing and communal services.
FSB leadership in the 90s
In 1995, General of the Army Mikhail Ivanovich Barsukov came to the post of director of the FSB. He has been in the KGB system of the Soviet Union since 1964. He was the commandant of the Moscow Kremlin, acted as a witness during the detention of the Deputy Prime Minister of one of the inspirers of the State Emergency Committee.
In the 90s, Barsukov was often criticized by his colleagues. In particular, accusing them of low professional qualities. For example, according to the ex-Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Anatoly Sergeevich Kulikov, Barsukov's entire service took place in the Kremlin, he was responsible for the security of top officials of the state. Many believed that Barsukov was at the head of the security service only thanks to Yeltsin's security chief Alexander Korzhakov, who had a certain influence on the president.
In June 1996, he resigned after a scandal during election campaign Yeltsin. His name is closely associated with the detention of activists from the campaign headquarters of President Lisovsky and Yevstafyev, who tried to take out half a million dollars in a paper box.
Director Nikolai Kovalev
In 1996, the service was headed by FSB General Nikolai Dmitrievich Kovalev. Unlike his predecessors, he spent a little more than two years in this post. Nikolai Kovalev has been in the service of state security agencies since 1974. He was appointed to the post of director of the FSB after a scandal involving alleged violations of the rules of foreign exchange transactions and the conduct of the presidential campaign of Boris Yeltsin in 1996.
During the leadership of the service, Nikolai Kovalev managed to establish a productive work of the department. Its employees began to appear less frequently on the pages of the press in connection with various scandals.
After being relieved of his post, he took the chair of the people's choice from the third to the seventh convocation inclusive. Is a member of the faction United Russia", heads the expert council of the organization "Officers of Russia".
future president
Kovalev was replaced in July 1998 by the future president of Russia, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. He was the only head of the department who by that time did not have military rank. Putin was only a reserve colonel.
The future head of state found himself in the KGB system back in 1975, immediately after graduating from Leningrad State University. He got into the KGB by assignment.
Having become the head of the FSB, he appointed well-known Patrushev, Ivanov and Cherkesov as his deputies. Reorganized the entire service. In particular, he abolished the department for economic counterintelligence, and also liquidated the counterintelligence department for providing strategic facilities. Instead, he created six new directorates. Achieved significant salary increases for employees and uninterrupted funding. Interestingly, Putin himself wished to be the first civilian director of the FSB, refusing the rank of major general, which Yeltsin had proposed to him.
Putin left the post of director of the FSB on August 9, becoming chairman of the government. Two days earlier, Chechen fighters under the command of Khattab and Basayev entered Dagestan. The establishment was announced Islamic State Dagestan.
Already prime minister, Putin led the operation against the militants. In mid-September, they were finally ousted from Dagestan.
Nikolai Patrushev
After the transition of Vladimir Putin to senior positions in the federal government, the FSB was headed by Nikolai Platonovich Patrushev. He held this post for 9 years.
Just for the period of his work, there was a confrontation between militants and terrorists. The Federal Security Service began to occupy a key position in matters of ensuring the country's security.
Patrushev currently holds the post of Secretary of the Federal Security Council.
FSB General Ugryumov
Throughout these years a large number of officers served as deputy director of the FSB. Perhaps the most notable of them was Admiral German Alekseevich Ugryumov. This is the only naval officer who has held such a high position.
Ugryumov, originally from Astrakhan, joined the Navy in 1967. In 1975 he ended up in the system of the Soviet KGB. Supervised a special department of the Caspian military flotilla. In the 90s, he became one of the initiators of the case against journalist Grigory Pasko, who was prosecuted for espionage.
As deputy director of the FSB, he oversaw the work of the Center special purpose. It was to this unit that the famous special groups "Vympel" and "Alpha" belonged. He was noted for conducting counter-terrorist operations in the Chechen Republic. In particular, the liberation of Gudermes in 1999, the capture of one of the militant leaders Salman Raduev, and the release of hostages in the village of Lazorevsky are associated with his figure.
In May 2001 he was promoted to the rank of admiral. The next day he died of a heart attack.
FSB general uniform
To distinguish the generals to whom our article is devoted is quite simple in form.
It was last updated in 2006. Now the uniform is khaki, it is distinguished by buttonholes and chevrons, as well as the cornflower blue color of the gaps on shoulder straps.
It took only a few hours for operatives from the departments of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kamchatka Territory to establish the personal data of all members of the killer brigade who flew to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to eliminate the FSB officer. But when the criminals were detained and began to testify, the criminal case initiated on the fact of attempted murder (Articles 30 and 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) was classified, and information about the brilliant result of the well-coordinated joint work of the Kamchatka departments of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not included in the press releases law enforcement agencies and news feeds of news agencies. Perhaps they decided to cover up the criminal case with a camouflage of secrecy because the thread of the testimony of the perpetrators led to the customer, who allegedly turned out to be ... an FSB colonel.
FSB detective Alexander Nechaev was attacked on October 18 in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. There were three attackers. But the officer was not afraid, did not lose his head, did not meekly and humbly wait until he was killed. Nechaev rebuffed the criminals. The officer was taken to the hospital with multiple stab wounds, operated on. Nechaev was still in the intensive care unit, recovering from anesthesia and could not testify, and the joint operational-search group of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB had already seized all the recordings from the video surveillance cameras in the area of the attack, and it was from them that, within a few hours, they were able not only to establish how look like suspects, but also identify them by finding out their personal data.
By the time the suspects were identified, they had already left Kamchatka and were on board a plane flying from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to Moscow. At that time, the central office of the FSB received a coded message with the flight number, names, surnames and descriptions of the suspects in the attack on the FSB officer. A special rapid reaction squad advanced to Domodedovo, and when the plane landed, all the suspects were detained. And they were sent back to Kamchatka, where, by decision of the city court, they were escorted to a pre-trial detention center. At the very first interrogations, the testimony of the killers stunned the investigators. It turned out that the “order for liquidation” came from Voronezh.
By the time of the interrogations, the investigators had already checked the billings of the suspects' phones and what, in the language of the operatives, is called "the connections of the defendants", and had already established that the guests of Kamchatka, who were interested in the investigation, were in active contact with the Voronezh businessman Alexander Asafov.
In the late nineties, Asafov was better known in Voronezh as the leader of the "boxer brigade" under the nickname Strong. But since 1998, having been released after the fourth conviction, Asafov went into business, in fact, almost monopolizing the alcohol market in the Voronezh region. Asafov no longer fell into the field of view of law enforcement officers. And even, on the contrary, he was friends with many security officials. Including with the first deputy head of the FSB department for the Voronezh region, Colonel Oleg Burlin.
The investigation had a suspicion that Asafov acted as an intermediary between the killers and the customer who ordered the murder of Alexander Nechaev.
Based on the principle of the presumption of innocence, we cannot call Oleg Burlin the customer behind the murder of Alexander Nechaev. But we can try to reconstruct the events that took place before the assassination attempt on Nechaev and after the perpetrators of the assassination attempt were arrested and transferred to the pre-trial detention center of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
Prior to the appointment to the Far East federal district Alexander Nechaev served in the Voronezh department of the FSB. In Voronezh, they say that Colonel Oleg Burlin “has developed a personal hostile relationship” with Nechaev (some sources hint at a classic love triangle). It was Burlin who allegedly had a hand in the transfer of Nechaev from Voronezh to Far East. True, the head of the Center for Public Relations of the FSB of Russia, Nikolai Zakharov, in response to a request from Novaya Gazeta, denied this rumor, writing that “the employees specified in the request have never been in a relationship of subordination to each other, which excludes the possibility of one of them making decisions to transfer the other to a new duty station.”
Two weeks before the attack on Nechaev, on October 4, 2014, Oleg Burlin was appointed head of the FSB department for the Kirov region. But already on January 15 of this year, a new leader was introduced to the Kirov Chekists ( Colonel Sergei Mochalov. — THEM.). At the same time, according to eyewitnesses, Colonel Burlin was not present at the presentation ceremony of the new leader. In the already mentioned response to our request, Nikolai Zakharov, head of the CSO of the FSB of Russia, emphasized: “Please note that the employee who replaced the position of the head of the FSB department of Russia in the Kirov region was dismissed from military service in 2015 for family reasons in accordance with the report filed by him.”
Agree, it is at least bewildering that an officer appointed to a general's position on October 4 submits a letter of resignation of his own free will three months later. But even more bewildering was the response to the Novaya’s request, which we received from Investigation Department Investigative Committee Russia in the Kamchatka Territory, which is in the process of a criminal case on the attempt on the life of an FSB officer Alexander Nechaev. Senior Assistant to the Head of Department Major of Justice Elena Matafanova told Novaya Gazeta that "Asafov and Burlin were interrogated as witnesses in a criminal case."
The interrogation of Asafov as a witness can also be explained by the fact that the suspects who attacked the FSB officer testified about the Voronezh businessman, explaining their visit to Kamchatka with his request. But why did Burlin become a witness in a criminal case? If, as the CSO of the FSB, Burlin and Nechaev claims, I repeat the quote from the answer to the request: "... never were among themselves in relation to subordination"? Or is the status of "witness" an intermediate status, and the investigation took a break before bringing charges, so that the current FSB colonel had time to take off his shoulder straps? Or has it already been decided that the assassination attempt on the FSB officer had no customers?
P.S. We continue to follow the progress of the investigation into the attempted murder of FSB officer Alexander Nechaev and are ready to listen to Oleg Burlin and Alexander Asafov in order to acquaint readers of Novaya Gazeta with their versions of the motives for the crime.
