Chief military prosecutor of the Russian Federation Sergei Fridinsky. General outcome

The Chief Military Prosecutor, Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Sergei Fridinsky loves to communicate with journalists. Materials regularly appear in the media portraying him as an incorruptible and irreconcilable fighter against corruption in the Armed Forces at all levels, right up to the generals. In modern Russian, this is called “PR.”

Recently, due to the fact that the term of office of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation expires in mid-June 2012, Fridinsky has even begun to assert that he will be the next Prosecutor General of Russia - they say, his appointment has already been agreed upon by everyone, all that remains is to publish it.

But there are things that Fridinsky prefers not to tell journalists about, because they paint him in a completely different light.

Our prosecutor's office has been given enormous powers. But in this regard, increased demands are placed on prosecutors. Here is what, in particular, is written in the “Code of Ethics for Prosecutors of the Russian Federation”: “...1.4. Avoid personal and financial connections, conflict situations that could damage his honor and dignity, the reputation of the prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation... 1.5. Refrain from any actions that could be regarded as providing patronage to any persons for the purpose of acquiring rights, releasing them from duties or responsibilities.” A number of facts about the activities of Sergei Fridinsky indicate that this code of honor is clearly not about him.

For example, not so long ago he flew to the Far East on vacation - partly at the expense of the Ministry of Defense, that is, state funds, and partly at the expense of unknown private funds. A whole gallery of photographs depicts this voyage of his.

A military plane takes him to the airfield, where he transfers to a military helicopter.

This helicopter is refueled with expensive fuel - from army resources.

But Fridinsky transfers from the helicopter to a clearly non-military jeep, but for some reason accompanied by military personnel.

If someone thinks that he is being sent to inspect a military facility, then this is not so. In fact, Fridinsky is heading to this very picturesque place, where it is simply impossible to do anything other than relax in the marvelous nature.

Where he indulges in the joys of life - elite Hennessy cognac, Black Label whiskey, a whole jar of black caviar.

So that no one has any doubt that this is black caviar, Fridinsky demonstrates the source of its origin - live sturgeon.

And even against this background, it is no longer a jug that makes an impression - a whole vat of red caviar, prepared specially for the arrival of the distinguished guest.

Another Far Eastern delicacy came in handy - Kamchatka crab.

Well, after a hearty meal, as expected, there’s a bathhouse, and not a primitive, traditional one, but in a hot spring.

All this splendor for Fridinsky was organized by a man who looks very vividly reminiscent of the “brother” from the 90s, with whom Fridinsky has a pleasant conversation.

From such a royal reception it is not surprising to feel a little drowsy.

Well, now let's ask some questions.

How is this behavior of the chief military prosecutor consistent with the mentioned code of professional ethics?

How can Fridinsky, after such a reception, impartially investigate cases of violation of the law by military personnel?

Why are the caviar merchants, together with the local military, arranging such a holiday for Sergei Fridinsky ?

But it is known that, according to the inFolio Research Group, the official total production of black caviar in Russia in 2010 is 19 tons, and illegal production is about 225 tons. But it is not enough to produce caviar - it still needs to be delivered to the place of sale, that is, to the European part Russia. And there are very strict quotas for red caviar. But the supervisory authorities do not sleep - only they do not have the right to inspect military aircraft.

So it is quite possible to establish unhindered export of caviar from the Far East on military aircraft. But this requires a criminal conspiracy between businessmen and the military, as well as the neutralization of the military supervisory authority itself - the military prosecutor's office. And isn’t this where, as they say, “the dog has rummaged”?

Although, Far Eastern merchants can cope with the transportation and distribution of caviar on their own, without the help of the military. This, after all, is a routine for any business - be it criminal or legal. But criminal businessmen cannot achieve immunity in the face of regulatory authorities on their own; in this matter they need a high patron, preferably on a federal scale.

The above photographs quite possibly demonstrate such a patron. Fridinsky, using his position as Deputy Prosecutor General of Russia, can be an ideal roof for criminal businessmen. In this situation, the military men in the photo may turn out to be people whom the high Moscow authorities in the person of Fridinsky simply obliged to provide transfer from the airfield to a private jeep, a picnic, a sauna, business negotiations, and then back to the airfield.

But this, of course, is speculation, which, however, it might not hurt to investigate.

But what is obvious is that when translating such a trip of Sergei Fridinsky to the Far East into cloth legal language, the following phrases come to mind: “Using his official position, he organized a vacation at the expense of his subordinates. Used military equipment for personal gain. Exceeded official authority or abused official authority. Violated the code of ethics for prosecutors, introduced by the Order of the Prosecutor General. He traveled in personal expensive jeeps owned by businessmen, and took an active part in buffets organized by businessmen.”

The income statement of Sergei Fridinsky is also very noteworthy. In 2011, he earned almost 3.5 million rubles. A significant portion of his income comes from a special bonus, which is given for working with nuclear weapons (a coefficient of 1.4 to 2.2 of the salary). Moreover, this bonus is special - it affects the calculation of other bonuses, which are calculated from the salary. That is, first, an allowance for working with nuclear weapons is added to the salary, and then all other increases are calculated from this total amount.

But, according to the law, these allowances are established only for those people who worked with radioactive substances and nuclear weapons on an ongoing basis. In the army, these are employees of the 12th Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the body responsible for nuclear technical support and safety. In Soviet times, accordingly, it was called the 12th Main Directorate of the USSR Ministry of Defense. Sergei Fridinsky never served either here or there, and had nothing to do with working with nuclear weapons or radioactive substances (as do the people who provide their protection, and every day directly risking life and health - for whom these allowances were created) .

In general, given Fridinsky’s salary, the “nuclear increase” to his salary increases his income by 60-80 thousand rubles monthly. Fridinsky was dismissed from military service when he went to work as a justice adviser in the Prosecutor General's Office. This is how it is by law: The Chief Military Prosecutor in Russia is a civilian. It turns out that a military man only in name, but by law a civilian, prosecutor Fridinsky receives monthly such sums from the Ministry of Defense as if he were a military man, and directly working with nuclear weapons. This is already some kind of surrealism.

The picture turns out to be unpleasant. If Fridinsky himself issued an order to give himself an illegal allowance, this is theft of funds, misappropriation of funds. Well, if he provided the management with incorrect documents, and on their basis the management issued an order for such an increase - this is fraud, since Fridinsky, in this case, deceived his management, misled him.

The situation is similar with the pension that Fridinsky receives as a military pensioner. There is a decision of the Constitutional Court that prohibits the payment of state pensions to persons who continue to work in the public service. Why then does Fridinsky get it? Did he find some kind of loophole in the law that allows him to do this, or is it even illegal?

By the way, at present, Fridinsky often shows off in numerous photographs on the Internet in military uniform. But he wears this uniform on approximately the same basis on which in the USSR it was worn by a retired military man teaching Basic Military Training at school. Journalists do not notice such a masquerade, but the military is aware of the real state of affairs. That is why Fridinsky comes to the military in a civilian suit. Well, or in black family shorts. In general, not in military uniform.

Fridinsky sometimes brings his appearance into line with reality - at least when he visits the troops. But he, apparently, could not bring himself to bring the financial flows in his direction into compliance with the law.

Chief Military Prosecutor Fridinsky, relying on unbridled PR, constantly advocates from the podium for measures to strengthen law and order. But the situation with law and order in the army, from his words, is not improving. When comparing the words and results of Fridinsky’s work, it becomes obvious that his noisy, ostentatious struggle for the statistics of his work is, in fact, just a struggle to maintain the powers and strength of the Main Military Prosecutor’s Office.

Therefore, the Armed Forces and authorities have repeatedly raised the question that instead of the current Main Military Prosecutor's Office, it is enough to create in the Prosecutor General's Office a structure responsible for the Armed Forces, which would be controlled and supported by the Prosecutor General's Office. Then the Main Military Prosecutor's Office would become a truly independent body, external to the army it inspects.

This decision, which is certainly positive for establishing order in the army, categorically does not suit Fridinsky. and he torpedoes the adoption of this decision by all means available to him. After all, now the GVP is on the staff of the Prosecutor General’s Office, but at the same time it is supporting the Armed Forces. As a result, the Chief Military Prosecutor reports neither to the Prosecutor General nor to the Minister of Defense.

In fact, he has grown into a gentleman who views both Russia and the Armed Forces as his personal estate. The Ministry of Defense provides the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office, but the Minister of Defense is not the head of the Chief Military Prosecutor, and the Prosecutor General is the head, but does not provide it.

Fridinsky, as a result, is left to his own devices. We actually see the result in the photographs.

So questions arise: how can a person who himself violates both laws and the code of professional ethics effectively fight corruption? Not to mention the prospects of seeing such a fighter in the position of Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation - if suddenly Fridinsky’s dreams in this regard are destined to come true.

Notes

An excerpt characterizing Fridinsky, Sergei Nikolaevich

How happy Rostov would be if he could now die for his Tsar!
– You have earned the banners of St. George and you will deserve them.
“Just die, die for him!” thought Rostov.
The Emperor also said something that Rostov did not hear, and the soldiers, pushing their breasts, shouted: Hurra! Rostov also screamed, bending down to the saddle as much as he could, wanting to hurt himself with this cry, only to fully express his admiration for the sovereign.
The Emperor stood for several seconds against the hussars, as if he was undecided.
“How could the sovereign be indecisive?” thought Rostov, and then even this indecision seemed to Rostov majestic and charming, like everything that the sovereign did.
The sovereign's indecisiveness lasted for an instant. The sovereign's foot, with a narrow, sharp toe of a boot, as was worn at that time, touched the groin of the anglicized bay mare on which he was riding; the sovereign's hand in a white glove picked up the reins, he set off, accompanied by a randomly swaying sea of adjutants. He rode further and further, stopping at other regiments, and, finally, only his white plume was visible to Rostov from behind the retinue surrounding the emperors.
Among the gentlemen of the retinue, Rostov noticed Bolkonsky, sitting lazily and dissolutely on a horse. Rostov remembered his yesterday's quarrel with him and the question presented itself whether he should or should not be summoned. “Of course, it shouldn’t,” Rostov now thought... “And is it worth thinking and talking about this at a moment like now? In a moment of such a feeling of love, delight and selflessness, what do all our quarrels and insults mean!? I love everyone, I forgive everyone now,” thought Rostov.
When the sovereign had visited almost all the regiments, the troops began to pass by him in a ceremonial march, and Rostov rode in the Bedouin newly purchased from Denisov in the castle of his squadron, that is, alone and completely in sight of the sovereign.
Before reaching the sovereign, Rostov, an excellent rider, spurred his Bedouin twice and brought him happily to that frantic trot gait with which the heated Bedouin walked. Bending his foaming muzzle to his chest, separating his tail and as if flying in the air and not touching the ground, gracefully and high throwing up and changing his legs, the Bedouin, who also felt the sovereign’s gaze on him, walked excellently.
Rostov himself, with his legs thrown back and his stomach tucked up and feeling like one piece with the horse, with a frowning but blissful face, the devil, as Denisov said, rode past the sovereign.
- Well done Pavlograd residents! - said the sovereign.
"My God! How happy I would be if he told me to throw myself into the fire now,” thought Rostov.
When the review was over, the officers, the newly arrived ones and the Kutuzovskys, began to gather in groups and began talking about awards, about the Austrians and their uniforms, about their front, about Bonaparte and how bad it would be for him now, especially when the Essen corps would approach, and Prussia will take our side.
But most of all, in all circles they talked about Emperor Alexander, conveyed his every word, movement and admired him.
Everyone wanted only one thing: under the leadership of the sovereign, to quickly march against the enemy. Under the command of the sovereign himself, it was impossible not to defeat anyone, Rostov and most of the officers thought so after the review.
After the review, everyone was more confident of victory than they could have been after two won battles.

The next day after the review, Boris, dressed in his best uniform and encouraged by wishes of success from his comrade Berg, went to Olmutz to see Bolkonsky, wanting to take advantage of his kindness and arrange for himself the best position, especially the position of adjutant to an important person, which seemed especially tempting to him in the army . “It’s good for Rostov, to whom his father sends 10 thousand, to talk about how he doesn’t want to bow to anyone and won’t become a lackey to anyone; but I, who have nothing but my head, need to make my career and not miss opportunities, but take advantage of them.”
He did not find Prince Andrei in Olmutz that day. But the sight of Olmütz, where the main apartment stood, the diplomatic corps and both emperors lived with their retinues - courtiers, entourage, only further strengthened his desire to belong to this supreme world.
He knew no one, and, despite his smart guards uniform, all these high-ranking people, scurrying through the streets, in smart carriages, plumes, ribbons and orders, courtiers and military men, seemed to stand so immeasurably above him, a guards officer, that he did not They just didn’t want to, but also couldn’t acknowledge its existence. In the premises of Commander-in-Chief Kutuzov, where he asked Bolkonsky, all these adjutants and even orderlies looked at him as if they wanted to convince him that there were a lot of officers like him hanging around here and that they were all very tired of them. Despite this, or rather as a result of this, the next day, the 15th, after lunch he again went to Olmutz and, entering the house occupied by Kutuzov, asked Bolkonsky. Prince Andrei was at home, and Boris was led into a large hall, in which, probably, they had danced before, but now there were five beds, assorted furniture: a table, chairs and a clavichord. One adjutant, closer to the door, in a Persian robe, sat at the table and wrote. The other, red, fat Nesvitsky, lay on the bed, with his hands under his head, laughing with the officer who sat down next to him. The third played the Viennese waltz on the clavichord, the fourth lay on the clavichord and sang along with him. Bolkonsky was not there. None of these gentlemen, having noticed Boris, changed their position. The one who wrote, and to whom Boris addressed, turned around in annoyance and told him that Bolkonsky was on duty, and that he should go left through the door, into the reception room, if he needed to see him. Boris thanked him and went to the reception area. There were about ten officers and generals in the reception room.
While Boris came up, Prince Andrei, narrowing his eyes contemptuously (with that special look of polite weariness that clearly says that if it weren’t for my duty, I wouldn’t talk to you for a minute), listened to the old Russian general in orders, who, almost on tiptoe, at attention, with a soldier's obsequious expression on his purple face, reported something to Prince Andrei.

Chief Military Prosecutor of the Russian Federation since 2006, State Counselor of Justice 1st class, Colonel General of Justice, honorary employee of the prosecutor's office.
