This document is a letter dated June 17, 2002, from Sergey Alexandrovich Mylnikov, a retired MVD investigator in Astrakhan, to Boris Berezovsky in London. Mylnikov expresses his support for Berezovsky, characterizing the criminal accusations against him as political persecution and hypocrisy by the Russian state. He argues that if Berezovsky had truly 'plundered' Russia, the law enforcement agencies were guilty of criminal negligence for not stopping him. Mylnikov, drawing on his twenty-five years of service in the MVD, warns that Russian security services are prone to falsifying evidence, specifically mentioning the planting of drugs ('white powder') and weapons to frame individuals. He offers to assist in Berezovsky's rehabilitation by appealing to the President, media, and international organizations, while citing the GOKHRAN jewelry scandal involving Viktor Chernomyrdin and Boris Fedorov as examples of actual state theft that went unpunished.
