Ustinov's activities as Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation

From 1998 to 1999 Vladimir Vasilyevich was the Deputy Prosecutor General of Russia. He headed the department for oversight of federal security and interethnic North Caucasian relations. The task was not easy: it was necessary to achieve compliance with the law in a complex regional environment.

Prosecutors fought bandits and terrorism and restored the rule of law in Chechnya. Most of the problems were solved thanks to Ustinov’s principles. He personally joined many complex investigations and conducted prosecutorial reviews.

Vladimir Ustinov is the first of the heads of law enforcement agencies to form the department of the Prosecutor General's Office in the new districts and appoint deputies to supervise their work. The main task was to create a unified legal state sphere by bringing regional legal acts into conformity with federal laws and the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

In 2000, Vladimir personally led the investigation into the sinking of the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk in the Barents Sea. Ustinov V.V. was not only present at the raising of the destroyed ship, but also spoke about the causes of the disaster. He also investigated Moscow, led the case of V. Gusinsky and Media-Most, as well as Y. Goldovsky about the seizure of Nord-Ost and Sibur.

Vladimir Ustinov forced all heads of prosecutor's offices to support the state prosecution in trials if they cause a public outcry. Moreover, he set an example for everyone. In 2001, Vladimir Vasilyevich acted as a state prosecutor in the case of Raduev, a Chechen terrorist who seized a Kizlyar hospital in 1996 and took hostages in Pervomaisky.

Also among the high-profile cases that Vladimir Vasilyevich was involved in were Yukos and the prosecution of Yulia Tymoshenko, the former Prime Minister of Ukraine. In 2001, when a bus with people was seized by criminals in Nevinnomyssk, V.V. Ustinov and a representative of the President of Russia offered to release the hostages in exchange for them.

Under Vladimir Vasilyevich, the Prosecutor General's Office played a significant role in the redistribution of property. Berezovsky came under investigation, but was still able to leave for the UK. And Lebedev and Khodorkovsky were convicted in 2005. The co-owners of the Yukos company (L. Nevzlin, V. Dubov and M. Brudno) managed to leave the country.

High-profile cases

Investigations of terrorist attacks in Moscow and Volgodonsk (1999).
The case of Media-Most and Vladimir Gusinsky (2000).
The case of the Chechen terrorist Salman Raduev (2000 - 2001). For the first time in the history of modern Russia, the prosecutor general acted as a public prosecutor at the trial.

"Furniture business" (2000-2006).

During the five years of Vladimir Ustinov's tenure as prosecutor general, the focus of the Russian prosecutor's office was the investigation of cases related to terrorism and separatism in the North Caucasus.

In addition, the initiation and investigation of criminal cases against businessmen who showed disloyalty to the executive power, which led to the bankruptcy of companies under their control or their transfer to state control, received great public attention.

Many requests from the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation for the extradition of Russian citizens sent to foreign countries were not fulfilled due to suspicions of the political nature of the charges brought against them.
Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Ustinov

Analyzing the unexpected Ustinov's resignation and trying to understand its reasons, observers point to the sharp increase in the political activity of the General Prosecutor's Office in early 2006 and the strengthening of one of the groups in the Russian leadership, which included Vladimir Ustinov, his relative Igor Sechin and Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov, are the so-called group of “siloviks”.

They also noted the exceptional activity of the Prosecutor General's Office - the detention of customs officials, the seizure of 25% of the preferred shares of the Transneft company, the arrest and indictment of the governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug Alexei Barinov, Ustinov's statement from a high rostrum that all Russian life is engulfed in corruption and is under the control of organized crime. “Organized crime has affected almost all spheres - political, economic, social. Crime is becoming more and more insolent, increasingly penetrating into the same state and law enforcement agencies,” Ustinov said at a coordination meeting of heads of law enforcement agencies in May 2006.

The situation was further confused by the news of appointment of Vladimir Ustinov Minister of Justice.

Putin appointed Ustinov plenipotentiary representative of the united Southern Federal District

Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed Vladimir Ustinov as plenipotentiary representative of the united Southern Federal District, releasing him from his post, the Kremlin press service reported.

Earlier it was reported that Putin united the Southern Federal District and the Crimean Federal District.

“To appoint Vladimir Vasilievich Ustinov as the plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Southern Federal District, releasing him from his position,” the decree says.

Previously, Vladimir Ustinov held the position of plenipotentiary representative of the Russian President in the Southern Federal District.

Ustinov was introduced to Crimeans

On Monday, August 1, in Simferopol, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Kozak introduced the head of the country’s renewed Southern Federal District (SFD) Vladimir Ustinov. A working meeting, attended by the top officials of Crimea and Sevastopol, took place in the Council of Ministers of the republic.

Political scientists spoke about the possibility of abolishing the institution of plenipotentiary mission in the Russian Federation

MOSCOW, December 26 – RIA Novosti. The Russian authorities are discussing the possibility of changes in the management system of the constituent entities of the Federation. Speaking at a meeting of the Presidium of the State Council, Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko expressed the opinion that the plenipotentiary missions of the President of the Russian Federation in the federal districts have become obsolete, and proposed replacing them with other structures, for example, introducing the positions of ministers for territorial affairs. Commenting on this statement by Matvienko, President Dmitry Medvedev said that the future of the federal executive system is a task that will be solved by new authorities, including a new president, prime minister and government.

The Prosecutor General's special car was stoned

On Wednesday night, the Prosecutor General of Russia disappeared from the Moscow-Saransk train

Vladimir Ustinov. He never arrived at the meeting in the capital of Mordovia, and did not show up for work at the Prosecutor General’s Office.

The prosecutor general went to the capital of Mordovia in an armored special car,

which was attached to the branded train 942. In the morning Vladimir Ustinov

was supposed to speak at a meeting officially dedicated to the problems of the transition of law enforcement agencies to the new Criminal Procedure Code, and

at the same time, solving serious crimes in the region.

The Prosecutor General signed the verdict

The Prosecutor General's Office says that the head of this department, Vladimir Ustinov, has not been involved in prosecutorial matters at all lately. Appears for a couple of hours and then disappears for the whole day. Evil tongues even hint: Vladimir Vasilyevich can repeat the “sweet experience” of his predecessor and become a person “similar to Ustinov.” However, not everything is so simple. Other prosecutors say that Ustinov should be given his due - “he’s in a different department.” If Alexey Ilyushenko got burned in jeeps (he really liked them), and a person similar to Yuri Ilyich in the “spring temptations”, then Vladimir Vasilyevich has another “fiery passion” - real estate. On Bolshaya Dmitrovka (and they say in the Kremlin itself!) they recently remembered how acting. The Prosecutor General at one time acquired ownership of an apartment (Tverskaya Street, building 28/2) with an area of ​​148.2 square meters for 470 thousand dollars. True, this whole thing was not paid for by Ustinov himself, but by the Presidential Administration, that is, you and I, taxpayers. Of course, this is an old apartment story. But not so long ago, the construction of a luxurious dacha with a 25-meter swimming pool was completed not far from the Sochi presidential residence in Bocharov Ruchey, costing about ten million dollars - under the personal direct control of Sochi prosecutor Vladimir Ulyanov. And this, you see, is already a trend

“The Prosecutor General’s Office was collecting incriminating evidence on Medvedev”

“Vladimir Ustinov participated too actively in the politics of the apparatus, in the “war” against Dmitry Medvedev, one of Vladimir Putin’s potential successors. The Prosecutor General's Office was collecting incriminating evidence on Medvedev and preparing to initiate a number of criminal cases. All this went beyond Vladimir Putin’s idea of ​​team ethics and the rules of the game within the clan. All this speaks of a growing split in the nomenklatura, that the antagonism between various clans around Putin is becoming absolutely irreconcilable and can lead to unpredictable consequences, the most severe and cruel in the near future,” says Stanislav Belkovsky.

Vladimir Ustinov secretly traveled to Switzerland

The official visit of Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov to Switzerland ended yesterday. It did not bring any special sensations: a direct agreement between the prosecutor's offices of the two countries on mutual legal assistance was never signed. However, the Swiss promised Mr. Ustinov to assist in continuing the investigation of that part of the Aeroflot case that concerns Boris Berezovsky and has not yet been sent to court.

Prosecutor General Ustinov is running for a new term

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov (right) at an extended meeting of the Board of the Prosecutor General's Office dedicated to summing up the results of 2004

Yesterday it became known that Vladimir Putin nominated Vladimir Ustinov to the Federation Council for approval as Prosecutor General for a second five-year term. Thus, the president demonstrated that he is satisfied with the work of Mr. Ustinov and sees no alternative to him. The Prosecutor General's Office was pleased with the president's decision, and two specialized committees of the Federation Council - on judicial-legal issues and on security and defense - approved Vladimir Putin's choice yesterday. Today at the plenary meeting of the chamber, Vladimir Ustinov will be confirmed as Prosecutor General.

I was glad to serve, and to be waited on too.

According to these experts on the biography of Vladimir Vasilyevich, Ustinov is a hereditary prosecutor, in the second generation. His father was a deputy prosecutor in the Kurganinsky district of the Krasnodar Territory. Where he showed himself in a very unusual way. I amazed all my colleagues with a rare statement addressed to the Prosecutor General. Like, I, Ustinov, deserve a higher position. I ask you to appoint me to the district prosecutors. It’s hard to say now whether it’s a legend or a fact. But the fact that career ambitions have never been alien to Ustinov Jr. is clearly evident.

Ustinov's apartment

V.V. Ustinov worked as the prosecutor of the city of Sochi from 1994 to 1997. Why Ustinov was so actively promoted to the highest prosecutorial post in the country remains a mystery, since in just eight months of 1997 in the central district of Sochi, “... the number of serious group crimes increased by 372 percent. There were 41 percent more serious crimes committed than a year ago. The increase in murders is by 177 percent, in hooliganism by 183 percent, and in thefts by 55 percent.” But let’s put aside the professional qualities of the country’s current chief prosecutor and remember how cleverly Ustinov was able to balance official and personal interests.

Vladimir Ustinov: the number of terrorist attacks in the Southern Federal District in 2009 increased significantly

The number of terrorist crimes in the south of Russia in 2009 increased by almost a third compared to 2008; in 11 months of this year, 786 of them were committed, Russian Presidential Envoy to the Southern Federal District Vladimir Ustinov said on December 22.

Let us recall that on December 8, the head of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, at a meeting of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) said that almost 800 militants and their accomplices were detained in the North Caucasus in 2009, but the threat of terrorist attacks in the Russian Federation remains.

Signs of revival

Vladimir Ustinov, Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Southern Federal District, spoke in a special interview with RG about how the economy of the southern region developed in the past year and what are the prospects for the future.
