Grateful readers, who responded to the previous article expressing their impressions of it, unanimously stated that the search by the SBU officers for the fence “h… I” was not in reality, but in a dream. I have to agree with them.
But the characters and leading actors in this dream are real! In particular, senior investigator of the SBU Eduard Nikolaevich Regeda and prosecutor Andrei Igorevich Gontar showed antics that were unexpected for me, but usual for their daily unprofessional activities.
Once Eduard Nikolaevich Regeda, interrogating me as a witness, asked in what region of the Russian Federation the city of Samarkand is located. It was at this moment that I understood why his subordinates, when searching for his cherished “x…ya,” called him “a condom.”
Therefore, if senior investigator of the SBU Regeda Eduard Nikolaevich in his inflamed mind can move one of the most ancient cities of Uzbekistan to Russia, then why can’t he look behind the fence for a certain “h…th”, especially since the presence of the latter in the place Regeda is looking for is clearly does the fence sign indicate?! And the opera didn’t call him a “cop” for nothing…
Sorters from the SBU
In 2019, the chief placed in a high position in the SBU warned me that his “office” was beginning to take into active operational development all residents in Ukraine – citizens of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and Kazakhstan, as well as citizens of Ukraine born in these the countries just mentioned. That is, simultaneously with the election of a new president at that time, Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zelensky, the secret police of Ukraine – the SBU, led by Lieutenant Ivan Bakanov – received some kind of instruction, which was included in an entire state program for sorting fellow citizens based on race.
At that moment, Sergei Aleksandrovich Kravchenko, a resident of Kazakhstan, who fled first to Germany, was then deported from there by a court decision for certain criminal offenses and chose Ukraine as his place of residence and activity, was hanging out next to me. Seryoga Kravchenko – and we were on first name terms with him – successfully married an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and, in particular, was looking for the Range Rover stolen from him by theft specialist Maxim Kalashnikov.
What Sergei Aleksandrovich Kravchenko actually did, what income he lived on with his wife, history is silent. The answer to these questions was once given by a specific organization called the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), which broke into his wife’s apartment in the Svyatoshinsky district of Kyiv early one Sunday morning in order to conduct a search and detain Sergei Alexandrovich.
Sergei Kravchenko was suspected of having robbed the houses of wealthy Ukrainians together with a local police officer from the Kiev-Svyatoshinsky police department named Vitaly. Police captain Vitaly, who in his police position was responsible for the security of the village of Stoyanka, was even detained (or arrested?) for some time, Sergei Aleksandrovich Kravchenko was also interrogated for some time in the Kiev State Bureau of Investigation…
The latter was released and he, as a true friend of Captain Vitaly, went to his home, where he met the policeman’s father.
“We need to get Vitalik out,” Sergei sympathetically addressed the man.
“And Vitaly has been home for a long time,” – after a long pause, Sergei Kravchenko’s father cooled down the warlike ardor.
This unexpected news completely struck Sergei Aleksandrovich Kravchenko.
“How so? – he was offended. “He came out and didn’t even tell me!”
According to Sergei Kravchenko, who was offended by police captain Vitaly, the policeman paid the Gbrovites “at least twenty thousand dollars ($20,000).”
And, quite naturally, I warned my friend Sergei Kravchenko at that time about the active measures of the SBU against him as a citizen of Kazakhstan. Sergei Alexandrovich’s reaction was expected:
“I work with the SBU,” he proudly did not heed the warning.
He really worked with the SBU. He showed me video footage several times in which some masked SBU officers were passionately interrogating car thieves, and these car thieves, for the sake of secrecy, were also wearing balaclavas.
Sergei Aleksandrovich Kravchenko was in contact and, naturally, paid by a certain SBU officer, connected in some way with the “office” information base. Sergei said that this sbushnik came into his service because he was offended by his immediate superior.
It turned out that this immediate boss once took $10,000 (ten thousand US dollars) from a car owner who had been victimized by thieves for the car returned to him, and from the bottom of his heart he gave only 1,000 (one thousand) hryvnia to Sergei Kravchenko’s current associate, the sbushnik. Although all the work to find the stolen car was done by this technician!
I don’t know whether this SBU technician saved Sergei Aleksandrovich Kravchenko from active development by the secret police. But I think that Kravchenko successfully fought off the GBR.
“I’ll wait a year and a half, the case will be closed,” he said confidently after a visit to the now former captain Vitaly, although at that time Sergei was also the main defendant in the criminal proceedings opened at the Goloseevsky police department in Kyiv due to the fact that in the car in which Kravchenko was driving, a combat pistol was found. That is, he had reasons to rely on the help of the SBU.
Unlike Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin.
Ivan Zyabkin. Logistics
Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin was friends with Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov for many years. Their friendship was sealed with financial cement produced, in contrast to the consumer of these finances, Sbushnik Pantyukhov, by businessman Zyabkin.
On the morning of March 1, 2022, almost a week after the start of Russian aggression against Ukraine, Ivan Aleksandrovich left his house to go to the store in search of food supplies running out in his family. Unknown armed men in balaclavas immediately grabbed Zyabkin and brought him handcuffed and with a bag over his head to the gym in the SBU building on Malopodvalnaya Street, in the city of Kyiv. Where they handcuffed me to a heating radiator, first fixing me in a sitting position on the floor.
To correctly understand why exactly Ivan Zyabkin found himself in this position, it is worth going back a few years ago and telling the attentive reader who is who in this historical friendship between a businessman and a security officer.
Let’s start with Ivan Alexandrovich.
In his pre-war (until February 2022) life, Ivan Zyabkin was successfully engaged in logistics. For if he had been unsuccessful in this logistics, why would the SBU officer Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov need him?!
In 1995, Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin received a master’s degree from the St. Petersburg Engineering and Economic Academy of Road Transport Management. And he immediately began his career as a traffic operator at Scansped CJSC – St. Petersburg. This continued until 1998.
In 1998, Ivan Aleksandrovich was promoted to a position in the same enterprise, which slightly changed its name to CJSC Shenker St. Petersburg (Scansped), and began selling logistics services. Sells them, these services, in St. Petersburg until 2001.
In April 2001, Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin, by the will of fate, ended up in Ukraine. In the same Schenker, but in Ukraine. Here he works as a sales manager, organizing the work of the Ukrainian branch of a Russian company. That is, he created a branch from scratch.
In October 2002, Ivan Zyabkin, a successful organizer of the branch, returned to St. Petersburg, to his native Schenker, where he was appointed head of the sales department. In addition to organizing logistics services for corporate clients such as Gillette, Caterpillar, Amcor, Nokia, Lamborghini, Ivan Aleksandrovich conducts tenders, concludes international agreements and controls both types of debts (receivables and payables) for key clients of his company.
In July 2004, Zyabkin moved to Moscow. In Moscow, he works as the head of the logistics department at Stels LTD. Then, in July 2005, he became a logistics manager at the Moscow company Knauf.
In 2003-2004 he completed English and French language courses. Probably, this circumstance to some extent helped Ivan Alexandrovich move (or return?) to Kyiv.
From October 2005 to May 2013, Ivan Zyabkin was the General Director of Prometey-Import Kyiv LLC together with Schenker Ukraine. At this time, he is engaged, in particular, in organizing the delivery of goods to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the Russian Federation.
And, then, the most interesting thing begins in the friendship of the SBU officer Pantyukhov and the businessman Zyabkin.
From June 2013 to June 2014, Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin was a leading specialist on the Sochi 2014 project at ZAO Schenker.
Leading specialist Zyabkin organizes the delivery of Olympic cargo, coordinates the work of internal departments for servicing restaurants and hotels at the Games… That is, without him, a specialist leading the participants and guests of the Olympics, the Olympics in Sochi would have to, at the very least, close early. But the Olympics took place and ended.
And it was here that Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin, a longtime friend of Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov’s SBU officer, opened the Teplotrade Tavrida LLC enterprise in August 2014 in Russian-occupied Crimea, in which he himself became the general director. His heat trading company Tavrida delivers various cargoes to Crimea. In addition, under the leadership of Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin, the Opera Festival in Chersonesus and the Historical Festival in Sevastopol are served, in which about 4,000 people take part!
It should be noted that Ivan Zyabkin is still listed as the general director of Teplotrade Tavrida LLC.
From January 1, 2017 to April 2018, with a six-month break, Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin worked fruitfully and selflessly as an event manager at the Nikki Beach hotel in Thailand.
From April 19 to April 21, 2018, the “VI Yalta International Economic Forum” is taking place in occupied Crimea. Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin is serving this event too…
All this time, Ivan Zyabkin is listed as a citizen of the Russian Federation, and this circumstance, especially after 2014, does not at all interfere with his friendship and active cooperation with SBUSHnik Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov. And somehow, completely unnoticed, Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin received, while maintaining Russian citizenship, Ukrainian citizenship.
Did SBU officer Boris Pantyukhov know about this? Of course he did. It was probably he who helped his friend Zyabkin obtain second citizenship in Ukraine.
Boris Pantyukhov. Patriot or traitor?
On December 6, 2018, Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov was driving a HONDA CR-V on the Kyiv-Chop road at a speed of 105 km/h where there was a limit of 50 km/h. And, completely by accident, he was caught red-handed.
Inspector of platoon No. 1 of company No. 4 of battalion No. 2 of UPP in the Lviv region DPP police lieutenant Shezlo Taras Igorevich stopped the violator Pantyukhov. As Boris Aleksandrovich later noted, who disagreed with the policeman’s verdict and filed an administrative claim in court against the patrol police department in the Lviv region, he “in an oral explanation indicated his disagreement with the offense and explained that he was not moving at a speed of 105 km/h, speedometer his car showed a speed of about 50 km/h.”
At the same time, in the same lawsuit, Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov warned the court that “having introduced himself incomprehensibly, the inspector accused him of exceeding the speed limit and showed him a speed of 105 km/h recorded on an unknown device, and asked him to hand over the documents. Having taken his documents, the inspector went to the official car to draw up a resolution in the case of an administrative offense.”
In the official car, policeman T.I. Shezlo drew up a resolution (NK No. 467964), according to which Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov was brought to administrative responsibility, and an administrative penalty was imposed on him in the form of a fine in the amount of 510 hryvnia.
Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov did not appear at the court mentioned above, but sent a statement in which he asked to hear the case in the presence of his absence, while simultaneously supporting his stated claims. A police representative, on the contrary, arrived at the court hearing.
As expected, the judge of the Drohobych city district court of the Lviv region, Liliya Ivanovna Garasymkiv, satisfied the claim of the SBU officer Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov and canceled the resolution No. NK 467964 of 12/06/2018 on bringing him to administrative responsibility.
After all, Boris Pantyukhov was not a simple SBU officer, but the head of that same Drohobych city department of the CSS of Ukraine in the Lvov region.
On August 6, 2015, Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov, who by that time had the status of a war veteran, was enrolled in the housing register to receive housing at his place of residence under the Truskavets City Executive Committee.
On April 12, 2016, the executive committee of the Drohobych city council decided, in particular, the following, having considered the letter of the Drohobych city department of the CSS of Ukraine in the Lviv region, taking into account the recommendations of the public commission on housing issues, etc., etc.:
“2. Exclude from the number of employees of the Drohobytskyi city department of the Department of Public Security of Ukraine in the Lviv region apartment No. 1a in the dormitory on the street. Hrushevskogo, 19 in the city of Drohobych, two rooms with a living area of 30.5 square meters. m, the total area of the apartment is 66.5 square meters. m.
The apartment is included in the number of employees of the Drohobytskyi city department of the Department of Public Security of Ukraine in the Lviv region in accordance with the decision of the executive committee of the city council dated February 12, 2016 No. 27.
The tenant of the apartment, Borys Oleksandrovich Pantyukhov, has been working as a department head since 2014. The apartment is provided by Pantyukhov B.O. by the decision of the city executive committee No. 62 dated 17.03.2016.
The administration of the KP “Housing and Exploitation Association” to make changes to the previously concluded lease agreement with the city of Pantyukhov Borys Oleksandrovich, where instead of the official residential premises, the residential premises in the building of the state housing fund should be indicated.
Basis: pp. Clause 35 of the IU Regulation on the procedure for providing service residential premises and their use, approved Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian SSR dated February 4, 1988. No. 37.”
This decision was signed by the city chairman T. Kuchma.
That is, less than a month has passed since the service apartment provided to the head of the Drohobych city department of the Ukrainian Security Service, Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov, received the status of a participant in the state housing stock.
On February 14, 2015, Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov got married. His chosen one for many years of happy family life was Tatyana Anatolyevna Gergel, head of the resort development department, Truskavets City Council. Soon they had a son.
But, by a strange coincidence, as soon as Sbushnik Pantyukhov received a two-room apartment from the city of Drohobych, his family idyll went downhill. Already on September 9, 2016, the judge of the Drogobych city district court of the Lviv region, Andrey Petrovich Khomyk, opened proceedings in the case, and on September 16, 2016, he terminated the marriage between Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov and Tatyana Anatolyevna Gergel.
Tatyana Anatolyevna, having lived in a legal marriage with Boris Alexandrovich for one year and less than seven months, at the beginning of September 2016 filed a lawsuit at the place of their residence and her husband’s place of work. She stated in the lawsuit that “at first their family life was normal.” True, she did not indicate how many months out of the seventeen months they lived in marriage they lived normally.
“Subsequently, their relationship deteriorated due to incompatibility of characters and different views” on family life. And conflicts and various quarrels began in their family.” Attempts to save the family – the plaintiff did not indicate on whose side these attempts were made – did not lead to anything. And, according to her, at the time of the court hearing she was convinced that their marriage existed formally, it was impossible to save the family, they did not maintain marital relations, did not maintain a common household, etc.
Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov did not appear in this court either; he filed an application to consider the case in his absence. He supported Tatyana Anatolyevna Gergel’s claim and did not object to the breakup of the marriage.
Thus, SBUSHNIK Pantyukhov became a free bird from September 16, 2016. Judge Khomyk did not mention either the two-room apartment he recently received or his common son in his decision.
Having received an apartment in Drohobych and immediately divorced his wife, Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov remembered the secret police organization entrusted to him. He decided, at the expense of Truskavets tax payers, to financially support his native Drohobych department of the USBU in the Lviv region.
Boris Aleksandrovich personally arrived at the session of deputies and personally reported to them that, due to insufficient government funding, the structure he heads needs funding for the purchase of office equipment, fuels and lubricants, and repair of official vehicles of the Drohobych department of the CSS of Ukraine. He spoke about strengthening the security of key government institutions, important facilities in Truskavets, and about monitoring the situation due to the fact that someone was bringing a lot of weapons into their region.
All deputies, except for deputy Svyatoslav Grabovsky, silently agreed with the arguments of Lieutenant Colonel Pantyukhov. But Svyatoslav Grabovsky told those present in the session hall that this structure (Drohobych department of the Ukrainian State Security Service in the Lviv region) is completely dishonest in fulfilling the duties assigned to it by the state. He noted that there are many offenses in the city that the SBU officers do not respond to, and the most high-profile scams are carried out under the cover of law enforcement officers.
Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov angrily refuted the arguments of the only SBU opposition member in the local council. He noted that his subordinates participated in the ATO, and theirs, the local secret police, have work, but it is invisible and important.
The mayor of Truskavets, Andrei Kulchitsky, immediately seized the initiative and supported Pantyukhov’s request to allocate funding for the Department of Criminal Investigations Department. Kulchytsky noted that during his mayorship, “the head of the operational activity of the Drohobitsky MV USBU was ahead of a number of manifestations of a terrorist nature in the resort town.”
Andrei Kulchitsky did not specify the number of these pre-emptive manifestations of a terrorist nature in Truskavets. Apparently it was difficult to count them, especially since there were “several” of them.
As a result, after debates, passionate and not so, almost unanimously, the deputies allocated 100,000 hryvnia from the city budget “to strengthen the material and technical base” of the department.
So, having strengthened the material and technical base of the department he headed, Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov, free from family life, devoted himself entirely to service and the prevention of manifestations of a terrorist nature. According to local residents, it was Boris Pantyukhov who initiated the opening of criminal proceedings against the director of the municipal enterprise “City Enterprise” of the Drohobych City Council, Sergei Zhirny. He was accused of wasting one million hryvnia on garbage collection.
In January 2020, renovations were started in the office of the director of the Communist Party. And during the renovation, some wiretapping and video surveillance devices were discovered in the premises.
It was a complete coincidence that at the same time the bugs were discovered, the police investigator was carrying out investigative actions in the form of interrogations of KP employees, and for some reason, employees of the Drohobych department of the SBU were present at the interrogations. Hearing that their regular listening equipment had been discovered, one of the secret police officers snatched the keys from a woman – an assistant director – and, together with his colleagues, locked himself in her office. Five minutes later, the valiant preventers of manifestations of a terrorist nature ran out of the room with some unknown technical devices and disappeared in an unknown direction.
The assistant and the KP employees accompanying her entered the office, in which everything was turned upside down, the assistant’s desk had been moved from its usual place. Having taken away the basic material and technical means of wiretapping and video recordings, Boris Pantyukhov’s subordinates left these devices in the office:
A police squad was called and recorded the spy equipment left behind by the secret police.
However, after such a fiasco, Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov on March 25, 2020, at a meeting on the fight against coronavirus, called on all those present to carry out explanatory work with residents of territorial communities about responsibility for disseminating false information about the situation with the coronavirus disease. According to Pantyukhov, “citizens should receive information from official sources in order to avoid creating general panic. If such cases are discovered, the perpetrators will be held accountable.”
Naturally, after such a statement by Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov, citizens became scared and they stopped creating general panic. That is, they listened to the words of SBUSHnik Pantyukhov! Moreover, this was stated not by an ordinary secret police officer, but by a real candidate of pedagogical sciences!
Yes, that’s right, in the intervals of time occupied with friendship with Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin and the fight against potential alarmists, Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov defended his thesis on May 22, 2019 on the topic “Patriotic education of cadets of higher military educational institutions of Ukraine (1992 – 2016)” . Naturally, he defended his studies at the Ivan Franko Drohobych State Pedagogical University.
That is, in short, in the patriotic education of cadets, Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov, as they say, ate his teeth! And this patriotic circumstance a priori should have blocked all his secret thoughts of betrayal. Moreover, Boris Alexandrovich himself spoke self-critically about his activities:
And, wanting to finally eradicate these above-mentioned shortcomings in his professional activities, he began to eradicate them from his close circle, from Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin.
On February 24, 2022, Russia treacherously attacked Ukraine. Patriots from the common people and even from the so-called elite immediately stood up to defend their native country. Police officers and security officers began en masse to go into the service of the aggressor, many of them left the places of duty entrusted to them, escaping to the west of Ukraine, or even to the West in general.
By this difficult time, Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov had become, according to Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin, deputy head of the Department of Internal Affairs in the Lvov region. That is, he climbed the career ladder of the secret police.
As a specialist in the field of patriotic education and a fighter against manifestations of a terrorist nature in Truskavets, Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov knew that the counterintelligence of the aggressor first of all catches and destroys security officers and police officers; He personally told his friend Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin about this. Zyabkin, as noted above, was a citizen of the Russian Federation and worked closely in occupied Crimea.
And then a seditious, not at all patriotic thought matured in the head of candidate of pedagogical sciences Boris Pantyukhov. Believing that Kyiv would “fall in three days,” SBU officer Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov decided to secretly cooperate with the invaders. Moreover, not alone, but with two more of his subordinates in the service, SBU officers, whose names and positions are available both in Ivan Zyabkin’s notebook and in the counterintelligence of the SBU on Vladimirskaya Street.
Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov called Zyabkin and asked for specific help. Ivan Aleksandrovich heeded his friend’s request and contacted some people from Crimea, who, in turn, were in touch with the FSB. The latter offered Boris Pantyukhov and his two subordinates patronage in exchange for cooperation, that is, these three Lvov SBU officers had to secretly work for the aggressor.
I repeat, these negotiations took place through the mediation of Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin, who was aware of all the nuances of the negotiations. He claims that Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov and two of his subordinates did give their consent to cooperate with the FSB of the Russian Federation. And the treacherous deal was about to be completed.
But here the true patriots of Ukraine, to the great regret of the traitors, defended Kyiv. Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov and his two SBU accomplices realized that they were in a hurry with betrayal and, instantly changing their shoes in the air, became patriots. The deputy head of the USBU in the Lviv region, Pantyukhov, according to Ivan Aleksandrovich, wrote a statement that a citizen of the Russian Federation (and Ukraine!) Zyabkin… tried to recruit him and his two subordinates as secret agents of the FSB.
Ivan Zyabkin was immediately detained and handcuffed to the radiator.
Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin was in this position for 10 days: chained to the radiator and with a bag on his head. His wife, who did not receive either Ivan or food, did not know where to look for him until some armed masked men came to search her. Not finding anything incriminating, they took $1,000 (one thousand US dollars) and a car from the woman.
Apparently, both cars and dollars were the real and only incentive for masked armed robbers.
Ivan Zyabkin, meanwhile, was beaten and interrogated. How they beat and interrogated all those detained and held in the gym, the guilty and the not so guilty.
– I saw and heard terrible things, – Ivan Aleksandrovich shares his impressions. – Three Belarusians and several Russians were sitting next to me. They were all killed after torture!
– That is, without trial or investigation?!
– Yes, – says Zyabkin.
Neither 1,000 thousand US dollars, nor the phone, nor the car were returned to Ivan Alexandrovich. After ten days of interrogation, he was released because “they saw that he was a fool.” This means that there was no crime in his actions, and the denunciation of the patriot and candidate of sciences Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov did not work.
Having been released with a clear conscience, Ivan Zyabkin took the second set of keys to his car and went in search of it. He found the car parked near the central office of the SBU, started it with his original key and drove away. Nowadays, Ivan Aleksandrovich and his family are abroad, working in his native field of logistics and dreaming, but afraid, of returning to Ukraine.
He is afraid of revenge from his friend Boris Aleksandrovich Pantyukhov. At the same time, Ivan Aleksandrovich Zyabkin still believes and claims that Boris Pantyukhov would never have handed him over to the SBU, if not for those two subordinates of Pantyukhov, who dreamed of surrendering, led by him, into FSB captivity.
In addition, he is afraid that he will have to testify about the murders – “the terrible things that he saw and heard” while in the ten-day dungeons in the gym on Malopodvalnaya Street. After all, then the bandit masks will be removed not only from the perpetrators of these crimes, but also from their direct and immediate leaders, including Lieutenant Ivan Bakanov.
This is where the answer lies to the armchair experts demanding that the former head of the SBU and the former neighbor and true friend of Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zelensky be brought to justice.
