INDICTMENT

On the charges against Anatoly Viktorovich Mylnikov for committing crimes under Part 1 of Art. 205, Part 3 of Art. 30 and Part 4 of Art. 150 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

This criminal case was initiated on July 18, 2000, by the Investigative Service of the Directorate of the Federal Security Service (UFSB) of the Russian Federation for the city of Moscow and the Moscow Region on the grounds of a crime under Art. 207 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The grounds for initiating the criminal case were the materials of an investigation by the operational unit of the UFSB of the Russian Federation for the city of Moscow and the Moscow Region regarding the receipt on August 21 by the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation and on September 7, 1999, by the editorial office of the mass media outlet "Novaya Gazeta" of written appeals on behalf of the so-called "Volunteers of Russia," containing a demand to the authorities to release N.V. Zander, who had been arrested by the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD), and a threat that "...otherwise, every 7 days, communications, buildings, etc. will be blown up." Operational-search measures established the author of the text and the sender of the appeals — a resident of Moscow, Anatoly Viktorovich Mylnikov, born in 1946, a native of Ivano-Frankivsk, Russian, a citizen of the Russian Federation, who worked as the head of the economic security service of CJSC "Zolotye Stranitsy" (Golden Pages), previously convicted multiple times, including for committing particularly serious crimes. This information was confirmed by a statement from a resident of Moscow, A.E. Tumasyan, who applied to the UFSB of the Russian Federation for the Moscow Region on May 19, 2000, in which she identified A.V. Mylnikov as the author of the text of the "Appeal" and its sender to various organizations. She confirmed the circumstances of this crime during the preliminary investigation.

During the establishment of the circumstances of the committed act, A.V. Mylnikov was interrogated, who denied his involvement in the preparation of the "Appeal" and its distribution. After the interrogation at the Investigative Service, he went into hiding and did not respond to summons.

• On December 18, 2000, a resolution was issued to suspend the preliminary investigation and search for the accused A.V. Mylnikov on the basis of paragraph 1 of Art. 195 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the RSFSR.
• On December 19, 2001, a resolution was issued to resume the suspended preliminary investigation and to initiate a petition to establish the period of investigation in the case until January 19, 2002.
• On January 15, 2002, A.V. Mylnikov was brought to the Investigative Service, where he was charged with committing a crime under Art. 207 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, and a preventive measure in the form of detention was chosen.

• On March 1 and April 26, 2002, the period of detention of the accused Mylnikov was extended by the Prosecutor of Moscow to 4 and 5 months, respectively.
• On March 13, 2002, the accused Mylnikov appealed the legality and validity of the extension of the period of detention in court; however, by the decision of the Lefortovo Inter-Municipal Court of Moscow, his appeal was dismissed.
