To the head of the USB FSB RF, Major General Patrushev N.P., they ordered me to destroy all materials and not to touch anyone. Thus, Patrushev N.P. saved his current personnel from criminal liability, primarily Kuznetsov (who was at that time the head of the OPU FSB RF) and Pismenny (who at that time oversaw the OPU through the USB).
On February 27, 1996, I, following the order of the leadership, signed an act on the destruction of the materials of the DOR [operational search file] 'Bratany' and handed the file over for destruction to the URGU USB FSB RF.
Based on the results of the work on DOR 'Bratany', I compiled a report in which I reflected all the crimes committed by the employees of the OPU FSB RF and the instruction for the illegal destruction of the file.
After dismissal from the FSB RF in 1997, during subsequent court proceedings and prosecutorial checks, I repeatedly used the report as evidence of the abuse of official powers by Patrushev N.P. and other officials of the FSB RF.
In accordance with Art. 7 of the RF Law 'On State Secrets', information related to the abuse of officials is not subject to classification.
At the end of August and the first days of September 2002, seeing signs of some action being prepared in Moscow, I warned the FSB RF about this through Shebalin V.V., who claimed that he had restored relations with the FSB RF and was a USB agent.
Based on several signs, it seemed that this was true.
I informed Shebalin V.V. that many Chechens had appeared in Moscow, especially in the South-West and in Kuntsevo, who walk around with weapons and participate in so-called 'strelkas' [criminal meetings/shootouts].
In addition, I informed him that field commander 'Abdul' had appeared in Moscow, whose biographical data is in my operational files from 1995-1996 stored in the USB FSB RF, as well as precise data on 'Abdul' as a terrorist and his Moscow connections, including Abubakar (Hotel 'Salyut' in the South-West) and in the dormitory of the Institute of the Russian Language (near the DK [House of Culture]).
