Four years later, Tanya continues to seek the truth about the crime

M.I. TREPASHKIN: I graduated from the Higher School of the KGB of the USSR, the investigative faculty, then worked for almost ten years in Lefortovo. I started working there as a junior investigator in the investigative department of the KGB, and finished as a senior investigator for particularly important cases.
I joined the security agencies, of course, out of conviction. Not so much romanticism as the specificity of the work. I investigated, as I said, large international groups of art smugglers, as well as cases related to illegal drug trafficking. I must say, yes, they were involved in political investigation, and there were huge units; if I link my experience slightly with current events, then basically in the FSB system today, those who started specifically in political investigation work in leadership positions. The former 5th Directorate of the KGB of the USSR.
I left the state security agencies, the FSB already, for the reason that I saw that the leaders were no longer interested in fighting crime.
That is: there are terrorists, well, let them grow until a certain time, when they give the command, well, then we will fight them. And the fact that people die in the process, that there is such, roughly speaking, a mess going on, that no longer interested them. For them, first of all, stars, official positions - that was the main thing for them. There was specific information, the same directorate, now of the FSB, and once of the KGB of the USSR for the city of Moscow and the Moscow Region, that they used businessmen in every possible way to improve their material situation. Yes, they covered for them, included them in the agent apparatus - not so that they would deal with the security of the state and citizens, but so that they could commit all sorts of offenses, and they couldn't be touched because "he is a covert employee of the security agencies." To the point that there was illegal trafficking of weapons and drugs, which was also covered up in the same way. Because large sums of money were also involved there, which they shared with some officials of the KGB of the USSR and subsequently the FSK and even the FSB. It was even a bit unpleasant, because after working so long in the agencies, and believing that they are entrusted with such honest and pure tasks for the security of the state, to watch how they, on the contrary, abuse their official position.
That's how I ended up in the legal profession, with the same tasks: protecting our citizens. These are the persons who suffered during the explosion of the houses on Guryanova and on Kashirka, in particular the Morozov sisters. This is connected with some persons who suffered in Nord-Ost and others. That is, those cases where for some reason the authorities' reaction to the protection of those persons and the representation of whose interests is not entirely adequate.

M.I. TREPASHKIN: Then it's unclear from the case - the changes to the composite sketch, why such a sharp change after all? After all, the original one was drawn based on the description of not just one person, but several?

FSB REPRESENTATIVE: ...rented... for lease... premises...

M.I. TREPASHKIN: In 1995 here, in Moscow, a group of Raduyevites was detained. Why Raduyevites? At the moment of detention, this was not known. I was a participant in this operation myself - at that time I was still serving in the Federal Counterintelligence Service of the Russian Federation. A group emerged in Moscow, which included field commanders who came here to rest, came to collect financial funds. The version that the main source of terrorism comes from abroad is not entirely proven. Yes, there were sources from there too, but according to available information, a very significant part came precisely from the center of Russia, from Moscow first of all. It was in this group, which included field commanders, that Vladimir Mikhailovich Romanovich was included. He
