Petr Suslov

In 1975, the president of "red" Mozambique, Samora Machel, sent a personal telegram to the chairman of the KGB, Yuri Andropov, with a request to second advisors on the fight against banditry and instructors for training operational-combat detachments to this country of "socialist orientation." Moscow responded to Machel's request.

A group led by an officer of the 8th department of Directorate "S" of the PGU of the KGB of the USSR, Colonel Nikolai Denisenko, went to Mozambique, which included "Vympel" employees Petr Suslov, Yuri Kolesnikov, Alexander Suzdaltsev, Viktor Cheremisin, Vladimir Finogenov, Alexei Nedayvoodin and others.

In post-Soviet Russia, Suslov, being a career SVR officer, was the handler of the well-known Russian terrorist Maxim (Max) Lazovsky, the organizer of the house bombings in Russia in September 1999. Lazovsky was one of his secret agents. Formally, Suslov left intelligence for business in 1995, but since that time he has repeatedly traveled to war-torn Grozny, Baghdad, Tehran, the Arab Emirates and other countries of the Middle East.

Suslov was engaged in extrajudicial killings. To carry out tasks related to the organization and conduct of forceful actions and liquidations, Suslov involved former specialists from special units, primarily from the former special purpose unit of the 1st (Main) Directorate (PGU) of the KGB of the USSR "Vympel," who were well-versed in the skills of sniper shooting, explosives and handling pyrotechnics. The Vympel members performed the functions of both instructors and executors.

To provide financial support for this work, a special fund "Vympel" was created. The president of this fund was the well-known criminal "authority" in Russia Sergey Petrovich Kublicky (criminal nickname Vorkuta). The vice president was Suslov. At the same time, Suslov was the chairman of the board of directors of the regional public fund "Pravoporyadok-Center" (Moscow, Voronkovskaya Street, house 21).

Suslov maintained extensive ties in state security structures, including in the leadership of the FSB. According to operational data obtained through the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs (GUVD) for the Moscow region, Suslov maintained close contact with Major General Evgeny Grigoryevich Khokholkov – the head of the Directorate of Perspective Programs (UPP) created in the summer of 1996, on the basis of which the Directorate for the Development and Suppression of the Activities of Criminal Organizations (URPDPO) of the FSB was formed in 1997, more often called abbreviated URPO (Directorate for the Development of Criminal Organizations).

It was here that Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Kimovich Antropov, who graduated from the SVR intelligence school in the line of fighting international terrorism, served as the head of the direction of the 3rd department of URPO. Both Lazovsky and Suslov were on good terms with Antropov. Alexander Litvinenko, who was killed in November 2006 in London with the radioactive poison "polonium-210," served in the same unit.

Since the mid-1990s, Suslov served as an expert of the advisory council on national security problems under the Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, was the chairman of the board of the public fund for promoting peace and cooperation in the Caucasus "Unity," and the chairman of the executive committee of the all-Russian political public movement "Eurasia," created by him together with Alexander Dugin, and deputy chairman of the political council of the "Eurasia" party. Dugin was chosen as a public figure. The movement itself, like the party that appeared later on its basis, were undercover structures of the Russian special services.

Suslov was born on May 30, 1951, in Podolsk, Moscow region. After graduating from 10 classes, he entered the Ryazan Higher Airborne School, which he graduated from in 1974. He served in the intelligence of the airborne troops, then took special training courses in the system of the KGB of the USSR and was enrolled in the special forces of Soviet foreign intelligence as part of the "Kaskad" and "Vympel" groups. He participated in special operations in Afghanistan, then in Mozambique, Angola and Chechnya. He visited almost all "hot spots," supervising this activity through intelligence.

In Angola, in three years, he created an entire special operations directorate from a small detachment – with several departments and special groups. For his persistence and courage, his Angolan comrades nicknamed him Valiente (Brave). After thirty years of service, he retired with the rank of reserve colonel. He took up political activity after retiring to the reserve. In 1996, he participated in the creation of the fund "Promotion of Peace and Cooperation in the Caucasus." He is the deputy chairman of the political council of the "Eurasia" party.

Suslov said the following about his entry into politics:

"Political changes in the country at the moment when I took up politics were significant, and a very good team of normal, promising people gathered, headed by the leader of our party Alexander Dugin – a political scientist and geopolitician. We created with him the socio-political movement 'Eurasia' based on the ideology of Eurasianism. This is the socio-political activity I am engaged in..."

Suslov and Dugin indeed "found each other." "It is obvious that for the implementation of the Eurasian project, a completely new social lever is needed – the transfer of the country to the rails of patriotism. The preservation and strengthening of territorial integrity require a new caste, a new social layer. People of the special services combine the main prerequisites for becoming the backbone of the Eurasian rotation," Dugin wrote in the article "Dawn in Boots" in Prokhanov's newspaper "Zavtra" on March 28, 2000.

As if jokingly, Prokhanov and Dugin called themselves demiurges. In Christian theology, the demiurge is one of the names of God as the creator and builder of all things. Prokhanov and Dugin seriously felt like creators of the future, which in reality represented a far from radiant past.
