Is Alexander Klopov exchanging the Voronezh UFSB for a Moscow university? There are always risks Klopov Alexander Vasilyevich FSB biography

Basic scientific principles formulated by the author based on the research:
1. Identified trends in the development of professional training of law enforcement officers, characteristic of the main periods of the existence of the national school. 1st period(late XVII - early XX centuries) - the formation of a professional school for law enforcement agencies in Russia: training personnel for departments in one or more educational institutions, interdepartmental nature of professional training; transformation vocational education law enforcement officers in multi-level system; II period (1917 - 90s of the XX century) - the creation of a Soviet school for training officers of law enforcement agencies: rapid development of higher professional education of officers of law enforcement agencies, development of scientific and applied foundations for the development of professional training of officers of law enforcement agencies; III period (beginning of the 21st century) - modernization of the professional school for training officers of law enforcement agencies: a change in the educational paradigm, optimization of the network of universities of law enforcement agencies, transition to training cadets and students in the State Standards and Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Professional Education.

Identified features of the functioning of professional training of law enforcement officers in Russia and developed foreign countries, reflecting the influence of numerous factors of a national-state, socio-political, historical-geographical, economic and cultural nature, as well as general trends in its development: democratization, humanization, intellectualization of the professional training process; the desire to meet the standards of general civil and university education; formation creative thinking and development of personal abilities of law enforcement specialists; promotion specific gravity information and technological support for professional training and technologies for distance, open and continuous education; integration and cooperation of didactic systems of professional training.

2. Developed from the perspective of the problem-activity approach, the concept for the development of a system of higher professional education for officers in universities of law enforcement agencies (hereinafter referred to as the Concept), which is a set of modern views, ideas, innovative targets and tasks for the professional training of students and cadets, justifying qualitative changes in essence , content and structure of the continuously developing didactic system of professional training for officers.

The formulated essence of professional training for officers of law enforcement agencies, as a functional didactic system, within the framework of which targeted innovative pedagogical process mastery of the complex by listeners and cadets professional competencies, underlying the potential for self-organizing development of law enforcement officers, the conditions for their effectiveness in a continuously and qualitatively changing professional environment; components of a functional didactic system presented and substantiated in the study: subsystem-process of goal setting, subsystem-process of transforming a pedagogical goal into a pedagogical result, subsystem-process of training teaching staff and managers, subsystem-process of innovation of professional training, subsystem-process of monitoring and managing the quality of professional preparation; the disclosed content of the didactic system of professional training, including educational, methodological and scientific work; a systematized structure of the didactic system of professional training, which presupposes the presence of a subject and an object, clearly defined goals, objectives, functions, patterns, contradictions, principles, methods, techniques, means and forms of their implementation, management, types of control, analysis and correction of the results of professional training.

3. Identified and substantiated qualitative levels of the didactic system of professional training of officers in universities of law enforcement agencies, corresponding to the established hierarchy of these universities in each specific department: adaptive, transformative and synergistic. At the adaptive level (in a departmental institute, school) - students master the experience of designing and implementing a model professional activity. At the transformative level (in a departmental academy, university), students master the experience of designing and implementing a model for the development of professional activity. At the synergistic level (at the Academy of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, at higher academic courses in universities of law enforcement agencies), students gain experience in designing and implementing an innovative model of professional activity management.

4. A pedagogical program (hereinafter referred to as the Program) developed and tested experimentally for the implementation of the main directions of development of the didactic system of professional training for officers in universities of law enforcement agencies and consisting of goals and objectives, three stages, as well as ways and conditions for the development of the didactic system of professional training.

Experimentally tested criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the development of professional training of cadets at universities of law enforcement agencies: educational and methodological support; staffing; scientific support; educational support; current and final results of professional preparedness; professional activities of university graduates and their indicators.

5. Key pedagogical directions for the development of the didactic system of professional training of officers in universities of law enforcement agencies, identified and substantiated in the course of experimental work, the main of which are:

• innovating the quality management of the didactic system of professional training of officers in universities of law enforcement agencies, which involves the implementation of the following ways: understanding the professional training of officers in universities of law enforcement agencies as a didactic system consisting of three irreducible, complementary quality levels that underlie the historically established hierarchy of universities in each specific law enforcement agency; understanding the quality of the didactic system of professional training as a synergistic effect of the interaction of its components; justification and design of a didactic system for professional training of officers in universities of law enforcement agencies in the form of a functional self-developing system;
• improvement of organizational, scientific and technological support for the didactic system of professional training of officers in universities of law enforcement agencies, the ways of implementation of which are: the systematic organization of departments as generators of scientific and technological ideas; addition of discrete results of professional training, projected at the stage of goal setting (knowledge, abilities, skills, qualities), with integrative, synthetic results (competence, ability to self-organize development, etc.); formulating the tasks of professional training of officers in law enforcement agencies, which are inherent in a specific qualitative level of the didactic system; choice pedagogical technologies corresponding to the quality levels of the didactic system of professional training; differentiation of quality levels of training and advanced training of teaching staff and managers of universities of law enforcement agencies in accordance with the quality levels of the didactic system of professional training of officers; supplementing the model for monitoring the quality of the didactic system of professional training with the existing qualitative and content characteristics of the process and results of professional training of officers identified in the study;
• introduction of a problem-based activity approach to the professional training of officers in universities of law enforcement agencies, as the main pedagogical direction for changing the qualitative parameters of the existing didactic system of professional training for officers, updating the latent, fundamental resources of professional training that underlie its continuous development and are adequate to the imperatives of the continuous development of the professional activities of officers law enforcement agencies. The ways to implement this direction are: creating a reflective, self-developing environment for search and research activities of students and teachers; design and implementation of organizational forms and technologies for continuous self-development of teaching and management staff of universities of law enforcement agencies, as subjects of pedagogical innovation;
• conceptualization of a model for monitoring the quality of the didactic system of professional training of officers in universities of law enforcement agencies, implemented by incrementing the existing empirical monitoring model, based primarily on quantitative parameters for assessing the quality of the didactic system of professional training of officers, with a system of quality criteria at the conceptual level.

WIDE VIEW

– When I came to RusHydro, I looked not only at the issues of physical protection of the company, but also at its functional purpose, role and significance in economics Russian Federation. The range of tasks here is very large, including security issues. If we talk about a “fresh look,” it seemed to me that security issues need to be dealt with somewhat more broadly than was previously accepted. After all, RusHydro is one of the largest international companies in the energy sector, located in a fiercely competitive environment, in an environment of serious economic and information risks and influence (not always positive), in the face of growing terrorist and information threats. So, knowing how the system and mechanisms of state security function as a whole, and looking at the problems from the other side, in agreement with the General Director of RusHydro, a number of systemic problems, threats and risks were identified, which we are now consistently working on.

– What are the goals of this work?

– Ensure the reliable and safe operation of the company to increase its value and efficiency. Create conditions for safe production electricity and cash flow generation, since RusHydro is a commercial company. At the same time, it is very important not to forget about the social tasks that the holding carries out, since its activities affect the environment and shape the conditions for the development of regions. Our goal is to build the company’s security system in such a way that it satisfies all interested parties, that is, citizens, federal structures, regional authorities, our contractors and, of course, investors. Everyone should be confident that their investments are securely protected.

PRINCIPLE OF REASONABLE SUFFICIENCY

- Absolutely right. It includes three main directions: anti-terrorism, economic and information. And we try to find solutions for each of them that are satisfactory in terms of absolute quality.

– What do you mean by this?

– Absolute reliability of protection of our facilities from possible terrorist, economic and information risks and attacks. This is a complex task, in achieving which we must take into account a combination of many factors. At the same time, safety and reliability must be combined with sufficiency. Therefore, we are looking for solutions that would be effective and sufficient, reliably ensuring the protection of the company’s interests both technologically, managerially and economically.

– There is a phrase “They don’t skimp on safety”...

– This is true, but only partly. There must be a reasonable approach to everything. You can, for example, create impregnable redoubts, but there is little point in this, since high cost and expense do not always ensure absolute reliability. So our principle is reasonable sufficiency. At the same time, we try to find and apply the best solutions in world practice that would allow us to create an effective and reliable complex system security.

– What goal did you set for yourself when you headed the security department at RusHydro?

– Create the best security system that exists in the world. This is not an easy, ambitious task, but we are going to achieve it. In addition, this will increase the company's capitalization.

EXPERIMENT ON KAMA

– Recently, the scientific and practical anti-terrorism exercise “Kama-2017” was held at the Votkinsk hydroelectric station. What was their feature?

– These exercises were an experiment of a scientific and practical nature. Its essence was that we tested existing security solutions for reliability and tested new ones that could be used to solve the problems. Representatives of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee, the FSB, the National Guard, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and regional structures took part in the exercises. This composition of participants made it possible to obtain different views for one problem. This, in my opinion, is the correct approach, since the views of various departments do not always coincide. And we wanted to find some kind of overall solution that would satisfy everyone and allow us to create conditions for improving the safety of hydropower facilities.

It is also important that Kama-2017 became a school for many representatives of branches in the field of security, where there was an exchange of experience and practical work, during which they searched for and put into practice new solutions. It should be noted that at the workshop we tried to create a useful creative atmosphere that made it possible to identify and activate the intellectual potential that our employees undoubtedly possess. In the end we got very interesting offers, we are now analyzing them and will subsequently implement them into practice. The seminar at the same time allowed us to get to know our talented colleagues and celebrate them, which will also be a good foundation for their further career advancement.

We consider the most important task to be the development of interaction with federal structures, primarily with the National Anti-Terrorism Committee, and regional operational headquarters. The speed of response from federal structures is very important to us. If a terrorist threat occurs, RusHydro's security services perform a primary function - protecting the facility from terrorism. Next, all the reins of control pass to the regional operational headquarters of the NAC of Russia. During the exercises, we tested the quality of our interaction in practice, identified problems, made appropriate conclusions, and made adjustments to the work, which also significantly improves the quality of anti-terrorist protection of the company’s facilities.

– Will exercises be held in this format at other holding facilities?

- Probably not like this. Because every time we will do better, improve this experience. There is a saying: “The best is the enemy of the good.” But while we have not reached the best, there is something to strive for.

"PAIN POINT"

– I’ll try to answer this question a little more broadly. In general, the North Caucasus region is the most difficult in terms of terrorist risks for our country. But this does not mean that only there RusHydro sees serious risks. Remember the recent terrorist attack in St. Petersburg, Beslan, the explosions of residential buildings in Moscow. Terrorists choose not where it is more convenient geographically, but where it is more painful.

Of course, we consider the Caucasus as a region with increased risks, and we are building a security system there with this in mind. But this does not mean that the systems at our other facilities are worse or weaker. We study the state of terrorist risks that exist in each region and respond to them accordingly. The company has a daily monitoring system - with its help we track all events and circumstances that arise in each region where our facilities operate. Such flexible system allows you to maintain a high level of anti-terrorism security.

– In the Dagestan branch of RusHydro there is a special unit - a canine service, where four-legged guards serve on an equal basis with people. Why is this practice not applied in other branches in the North Caucasus?

– This is one of the unique tools for responding to increased terrorist risks. The division has proven itself to be quite effective. In the age of automation, a robot has not yet been created that can replace a dog. They are very subtle creatures with unique capabilities. Four-legged guards and dog handlers in Dagestan solve a whole range of security problems. This is not true in all branches. Again, we should not forget about economic factors: maintaining such a service is not a cheap pleasure. Therefore, we do not yet plan to create similar services in other branches. At the Kama exercises, we were searching for automated solutions that would significantly exceed the capabilities of humans and animals, automate the processes of ensuring the safety of personnel, facilities and environment.

– Before RusHydro, you headed the Russian FSB Directorate for Voronezh region. What is more difficult: to be responsible for the safety of an entire region or RusHydro facilities located throughout the country?

– There is probably no clear answer to this question. Previously, I was responsible for the entire range of security issues in the region. RusHydro facilities are located in 32 regions of the Russian Federation. It is very interesting for me to work here, because the company has complex problems that require extraordinary solutions.

Interviewed by Ivan Kuznetsov

The roads of corruption

The head of the road department of the Voronezh region, Alexander Trubnikov, who was arrested for a bribe, was covered by the head of the local FSB Directorate, Major General Klopov.

"Family" matter

At the same time, one hundred million rubles were seized from the son of Alexander Trubnikov, 30-year-old Roman Trubnikov, head of the technical supervision of the Voronezh traffic police, who was fired the day after Trubnikov Sr. was detained and sent to Moscow. At the same time, operatives made a seizure in the safe deposit boxes used by the detainees. As a result, documents compromising employees of the prosecutor's office and federal structures fell into their hands. Most likely, we are talking about accounts that shed light on the structure of the shadow circuit.

The extent to which this scheme covered local security forces and officials is indirectly indicated by the fact that the appointment of Trubnikov Jr. to the traffic police was at one time strongly opposed by the leadership of this service. But it was forced to yield to energetic pressure from the head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Voronezh Region, Alexander Sysoev.

This story could be the beginning of a series of high-profile revelations. As, however, with the same probability it may not end in anything. There are many prerequisites for the first in the Voronezh region. For the second - vast experience and administrative resources.

It is characteristic that local road workers have long complained about Trubnikov’s actions and his insatiable appetites. But the control department of the regional government invariably did not identify shortcomings in its work. And the head of the local FSB stubbornly ignored them. As a result, the operation to detain the bribe-taker was carried out on the initiative and under the control of Moscow employees. And there were good reasons for this.

They dug, and there...

When on February 14, 2013 in the department natural resources and ecology of the Voronezh region, a telephone call rang and an unknown person reported that sand was being mined on agricultural lands at the 532nd kilometer of the M-4 Don federal highway; none of the experts could imagine how far this routine, at first glance, would lead case.

The leading specialist of the department, accompanied by police officers, who arrived at the indicated place, became convinced with his own eyes that sand was actually being mined there. Illegal and quite large-scale - the area of ​​the quarry, located half a kilometer from the road, was about two hectares. The act on illegal use of subsoil was drawn up according to all the rules - in the presence of witnesses, police, representatives of the prosecutor's office and the regional department of natural resources. At the same time, soil samples, invoices, log books of dump trucks transporting sand and other evidence were confiscated. However, the drivers of heavy vehicles immediately admitted that they were transporting sand to the base of Transstroymekhanizatsiya LLC and that this sand was intended for... the construction of the M-4 Don federal highway. It is possible that it was precisely this circumstance (the large-scale federal project is under special control of the regional authorities) that was the reason why the story received an unexpected continuation. Moreover, the “plunderers of state property” were building a section of the highway that bypassed the city of Voronezh, that is, they were literally in plain sight. What happened in the end? What happened was that, completely unexpectedly for the department’s employees, regional authorities intervened in their work. And they did everything to ensure that the results of the inspection were “slow.” But the point is not at all in the degree of closeness of the leadership of Transstroymekhanizatsiya to the regional governor Alexey Gordeev, although they “hushed up” the matter at his suggestion.

"General of the Sand Quarries"

It is noteworthy that the organizer of the meeting was not just anyone, but the head of the FSB Directorate for the Voronezh Region, Major General Klopov himself. What is even more remarkable is that after the categorical rejection of the “new conditions”, the Transstroymekhanizatsiya machines were literally not allowed passage, subjecting constant checks on the roads: waybill, cargo inspection, vehicle documents, etc. And this was done, again, by FSB officers. Further, security officers, with the support of riot police, began regular “raids” on offices construction companies. At the same time, management was more than transparently hinted with whom exactly they needed to cooperate in order for the checks to stop. As a result, all the “recalcitrant” agreed to new conditions from Aspect, but the prices were so wild and did not fit into the estimate that they had to add “counterfeit” sand.

As soon as these details began to emerge, the regional governor, Alexey Gordeev, did everything to hush up the matter and prevent it from moving forward. And this despite the fact that we are talking about a violation, albeit a forced one, of the construction technology of the M-4 federal highway. An ambitious project, a modern expressway with toll sections, one of essential elements image of the country, connecting its capital with the capital of the upcoming Winter Olympics, the city of Sochi. By the way, Don sand is also used in the production of high-quality branded concrete. True, now, after the story with Transstroymekhanizatsiya, the epithets “high-quality” and “vintage” are in great doubt. If builders, like road workers, are forced to use untested ingredients, no one will give a 100% guarantee on the strength of a new residential “high-rise” or sports palace. Moreover, low-quality sand gets into the solution with the direct participation of FSB officers, which does not at all brighten the image of the authorities and the state. So why didn’t Gordeev investigate and punish, but simply put the matter “under the carpet”, leaving everything as it was?

Governor "undercover"

From the very first days of his governorship, Gordeev began “ crusade» against corruption. True, it later turned out that corrupt officials invariably turn out to be officials and businessmen who are inconvenient for the governor’s team, while people close to Gordeev become untouchable even when they are caught committing outright bribery and embezzlement. In other words, Gordeev and Klopov have established mutually beneficial cooperation. It seems that in the story with the sand, the governor honestly fulfilled certain obligations and covered the major general’s back.

"Saucer with a Blue Edge"

Ivan Anikin, the new director of the Voronezh company Aspect (formerly Akvastroy) is a “dark horse” for local businessmen. And this is not surprising - Ivan Alekseevich moved to the Voronezh region from the Samara region. Where he is very well known as a confidant of ex-governor Titov, who carried out very delicate assignments for him. Everything that was within the sphere of interests of the Tito clan was brought by Anikin “on a silver platter.”

Residents of Samara well remember how the ZhBI-5 plant went bankrupt, which shortly before the regional government had helped it with fanfare to receive a $2.9 million loan as part of the “Own Home” program. The bankruptcy was facilitated by the fact that these funds were withdrawn to Besser LLC, owned by Anikin, “laundered” and used for the development of Solidarity Bank, controlled at that time by the governor’s son. Anikin receives a number of tasty contracts for his construction business.

Anikin worked so well and competently that Konstantin Titov began to “recommend” him to other tycoons who wanted to grab other people’s property. At the instigation of the governor, the raider meets with a certain Mr. Grinshpun and helps him seize control of a number of agricultural enterprises. He works for the then head of the Volga Sberbank of Russia, Shchurenkov, and the head of the Samara Rosselkhozbank, Krasnokutsky. With his direct participation, Mr. Grinshpun receives “non-repayable loans” from these banks - 100 million rubles and 1 billion rubles, respectively.

Together again?

However, it is logical to assume that Anikin’s affairs went downhill not only with Titov’s resignation. In 2005, the head of the FSB for Togliatti, Alexander Klopov, was promoted to Mordovia. In this republic, no one needed Anikin’s services. But the change of ownership in the Voronezh “Akvastroy”, as well as the strong support of the renewed enterprise by the Voronezh security officers, suggests that the “old horse” has again been launched into its favorite “furrow”. It is possible that in the Samara region it was Alexander Klopov who patronized Ivan Anikin and protected him from excessive attention from the security forces. It seems that now that old friends again have “their” governor in the person of Alexey Gordeev, the Voronezh region is waiting for new wave scandalous mergers and acquisitions.

As it became known from competent sources, the ex-head of the Voronezh UFSB Alexander Klopov got a job as the head of the security service of the Public Joint Stock Company (PJSC) RusHydro, a subsidiary of RAO UES of Russia.

It is noted that the chief security officer at the Russian energy company, which owns most of the country’s hydroelectric power plants, has a better salary compared to the head of the regional FSB Directorate.

Let us recall that, as experts believed, the resignation of Major General Klopov was preceded by a protracted and largely hidden conflict with the Voronezh governor Alexei Gordeev.

The media have repeatedly noted that after the case of the governor’s driver’s brother Alexander Trubnikov, which became an unpleasant surprise for Gordeev, reconciliation between the two centers of power ceased to be possible.

If Alexander Klopov leaves, then the only counterbalance to the collective bureaucracy in the region will disappear, a Voronezh businessman who wished to remain anonymous told a Voronezh notebook journalist in May 2015 (when our portal was the first to report on Mr. Klopov’s imminent resignation). Until now, representatives of Voronezh business circles could only appeal to Klopov in the hope of an adequate response and fair consideration of their problems.

Three months later, Alexander Klopov responded through the Kommersant newspaper.

I was not a counterweight, but a support of power, but as long as there was development. Then Gordeev and I acted in the same vein. When power began to be used for other things, objective contradictions arose, said Alexander Klopov before leaving Voronezh. I'm a little sad now because of what I know. Unfortunately, I cannot take the current situation, the local elites and the circumstances associated with them with me from the region, but I think that in the future everything will be resolved for the better.

By the way, according to one version, a “helicopter attack” on Gordeev’s entourage was a farewell greeting to the governor from the ex-chief of the FSB Directorate for the Voronezh Region. As a result, the SUSK of the region opened a criminal case into the fraudulent theft of more than 4.8 million rubles from the regional budget by employees of ZMT-Logistic LLC (the company involved in the “helicopter scandal” of United Russia member Andrei Blagov). -release Investigative Committee A message about operational-search activities carried out by FSB officers in the Voronezh region appeared and disappeared.

Alexei Gordeev currently has a “working relationship” with the new chief of the regional FSB Directorate, Oleg Nefedov.

Let us note that the department associated Major General Klopov’s departure from the FSB with the fact that the security officer had achieved age limit: in 2015, Alexander Klopov turned 60 years old.

Which, apparently, does not in any way prevent him from heading the security service of the largest Russian company.
