• Born 9.8.1950 [1].
• Major General of the FSB.
• In Soviet times, he served in Uzbekistan, worked on the "Uzbek case."
  • He infiltrated criminal groups and was one of the leaders of the operation to detain Adylov.
  • During one of the operations, his son was kidnapped but was successfully returned [3].
• After Uzbekistan gained independence, Kh. transferred to Moscow, to Lubyanka.
  • He was suspected (per a deputy inquiry by Yu. Shchekochikhin) of financial and other crimes during his work in Uzbekistan and in 1994 in Germany.
  • FSB Director N. Kovalev rejected these accusations [3].
• He spent seven months in the Chechen war [3].
• On 29.3.1996, he miraculously survived the crash of a helicopter shot down by Chechens; he was wounded and concussed [4].
• He headed the group that successfully carried out the assassination of Dzh. Dudayev on 22.4.1996 [5].
• He was nominated for the title of Hero of Russia but did not receive it [4, 5].
• In the summer of 1996, he headed a new structure in the FSB - the UPP (Directorate of Perspective Programs), renamed in 1997 to URPO (Directorate for the Development of Criminal Organizations) [1, 5], whose tasks included the extrajudicial elimination of dangerous criminals [5].
• On 13.11.1998, B. Berezovsky, through the newspaper "Kommersant," accused Kh. of organizing an assassination attempt on him.
  • Allegedly, A. Kamyshnikov, Kh.'s deputy, in December 1997 gave (in the presence of three witnesses) Lieutenant Colonel A. Litvinenko an oral order to kill Berezovsky.
  • In March 1998, Litvinenko reported this to Berezovsky, and then in E. Savostyanov's office wrote a statement about it [1].
  • On 17.11.1998, Litvinenko and other employees of the 7th department of URPO reported the same at a press conference at "Interfax."
• According to the version originating from the FSB (as source [1] believes), it was not an order but a joke [6]; Chief Military Prosecutor Yu. Demin stated that there was no corpus delicti in the actions of Kh. and his deputy [4].
• After the abolition of URPO in 1998, Kh. headed the Directorate for Problematic Taxpayers of the State Tax Service as an "attached FSB officer" (G. Boos, [3]). The Directorate was abolished in late 1998 or early 1999 [4].
