INDICTMENT

in criminal case No. 970

Charging Anatoly Viktorovich Mylnikov with the commission of crimes provided for by 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 UFSB of the RF for Moscow and the Moscow Region on the grounds of a crime provided for by Art. 207 of the Criminal Code of the RF.

The grounds for initiating the criminal case were materials from an investigation by the operational unit of the UFSB of the RF for Moscow and the Moscow Region regarding the receipt on August 21 at the Prosecutor General's Office of the RF and on September 7, 1999, at 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 activities 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 RF, who worked as the head of the economic security service of CJSC "Zolotye Stranitsy" [Golden Pages], previously convicted multiple times, including for the commission of especially grave crimes. This information was confirmed by a statement from a resident of Moscow, A.E. Tumasyan, who contacted the UFSB of the RF 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; he 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 September 12 and November 15, 2000, the term of the preliminary investigation was extended by the Prosecutor of Moscow to 4 and 5 months, respectively.
• Taking into account the evidence obtained during the preliminary investigation, on November 8, 2000, a resolution was issued to charge (in absentia) A.V. Mylnikov with the commission of a crime provided for by Art. 207 of the Criminal Code of the RF.
• On November 14, 2000, a resolution was issued for the forced appearance of the accused A.V. Mylnikov.
• On December 18, 2000, a resolution was issued to suspend the preliminary investigation and to search for the accused A.V. Mylnikov on the basis of Clause 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 file a motion to establish a term for the investigation of the case until January 19, 2002.
