The fight against crime and corruption is a very complicated matter, requiring from a person not only theoretical knowledge and experience, but also great willpower and perseverance. This article will talk about a career officer named Rushailo Vladimir Borisovich. The biography of this minister of law and order of the Soviet school is worthy of our attention for many reasons.
Birth
The future general was born on July 28, 1953 in the city of Morshansk (Tambov Region). Vladimir’s father was a career soldier in the radio technical division, performing special tasks, and therefore the family quite often moved to the Ryazan region or to Moscow.
Education
In 1970, Vladimir Rushailo received a certificate of maturity and decided to enter the capital's machine-tool institute. But after graduating from literally one year, the young man leaves the university and gets a job as a simple worker, and a little later, as a laboratory assistant at a research institute.
Vladimir received a complete higher education in 1976 within the walls of the Omsk Higher Police School of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs. Rushailo chose law as his specialization. A few years later, the officer successfully graduated from the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR.
Service
Vladimir Borisovich Rushailo began his active work in the internal affairs bodies in 1972, and four years later he ended up in the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department, where he initially specialized in solving crimes related to apartment thefts.
In 1986, he was appointed to the post of deputy, and two years later the head of the sixth department, who fought against organized crime and banditry.
Increase
In 1992, Vladimir Rushailo became the head of the newly created structural police unit, called the Regional Office for Organized Crime. As contemporaries of this event noted, the staff in this department collected, as they say, bit by bit. The thing is that the leadership of other departments are extremely reluctant to give their people. Nevertheless, in a rather short period of time, Vladimir Rushailo managed to build a very powerful, clearly working machine to neutralize especially dangerous criminals. The search and capture of villains took place so often that in the criminal world they even began to say: “It’s better with the Solntsevo’s than with the representatives of Shabolovka (the place where the police were based).”
Well, after the arrest of a number of authorities respected in the criminal world, during their very seriously conspiratorial gatherings in one of the Moscow detention centers, Rushailo received the high rank of general.
Scandal
In the fall of 1996, a high-ranking policeman was appointed first deputy of the GUOP of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. But already on October 22, he gathered journalists and held a press conference, at which he spoke very impartially about the then Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the country, Valeria Petrova. Vladimir Rushailo publicly called him an unpleasant and absolutely dishonest person. It goes without saying that such an attack on the side of the second head of the ministry did not go unpunished: Vladimir Borisovich was almost immediately removed from his post and sent to the reserve of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Career continuation
Vladimir Rushailo, whose biography is given in the article, did not stay long, and soon became an adviser to the head of the Federation Council Stroyev.
In May 1998, the President of the Russian Federation appointed the General as Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and a year later an order was signed to upgrade him to the post of Minister of the Interior. In June 1999, Rushailo was introduced to the Federation Council.
In August of the same year, Vladimir Borisovich began to directly direct numerous military operations of federal forces in Chechnya and Dagestan against illegal, especially dangerous armed groups. It was during this period of time that the general was able to successfully return to the homeland troops who were captured by militants.
State award
In October 1999, the so-called closed decree of President Yeltsin was issued, on the basis of which Vladimir Borisovich Rushailo, a Russian military leader, became the Hero of the Russian Federation. The "Golden Star" went to him for showing heroism and courage during the performance of the task of a special nature. The most interesting thing is that for the first time it became known about the rewarding of an officer only in 2003, and even then thanks to People's Deputy Yuri Shchekochikhin, who had a journalistic past.
In early 2001, Rushailo received a position in the Operations Headquarters, engaged in the management of counter-terrorism in the North Caucasus.
Another increase
On March 28, 2001, Vladimir Borisovich was dismissed from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and immediately transferred to the post of Secretary of the Security Council of Russia. This step of President Putin was easy to understand, because it was simply unrealistic to find a more experienced and qualified person for this position in the country at that time.
Emergency
On September 9, 2002, Vladimir Borisovich was among those who were injured in one way or another as a result of a bloody car collision on the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky-Yelizovo highway. In this terrible car accident, five were killed, among whom three served in the FSB. The then Governor of the Kamchatka Region Mashkovtsev and eight others were also injured.
Rushailo remained alive only thanks to the selfless actions of his subordinate Shatalin, who was driving in an escort car and covered the general from a jeep flying towards him. After some time, the senior warrant officer received the title of Hero of Russia, but unfortunately, posthumously.
