Major General Vitaly Bykov began his work in law enforcement agencies with the fact that, having returned from the army in 1978, he took the position of a simple minister of law enforcement agencies.
After 1980, he began to climb the career ladder and consistently worked in the following structures in significant positions:

To achieve such results, he faithfully served the Fatherland by the time 33 years old! On the basis of the same Decree No. 379 he was assigned a weighty rank - Major General Vitaly Bykov.
Facts from a personal resume
General Bykov Vitaly Nikolaevich became known to the general public by the persecution of peaceful opposition.
The spouse of the official got scandalous popularity. She tried in every possible way to put the theatergoers in the neighborhood on the street because they allegedly interfered with her noise. Although the head of Milena Avimskaya did everything to avoid a conflict, she conducted an independent examination and made soundproofing. But Vitaly Bykov, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and influential acquaintances in every possible way impeded theatrical actions. "Special People" even threatened the composition of "ON.TEATRA".
But from the authorities, General Bykov Vitaly Nikolayevich accepted exclusive approval and promotion.
But then he decided to quit his job from the Ministry of the Interior. In this regard, Vitaly Bykov wrote huge awards to himself and to certain his employees, because of which he will now face criminal liability.
Major General's Dossier
To move up the career ladder, Vitaly Bykov initiated inspections and criminal proceedings against Andrei Dmitriev, representing the Other Russia party. Dmitriev and his associates were charged with participation in extremist actions in 2010, although no proper evidence was found.
In 2012, other representatives of the party opposed Bykov’s actions, handcuffing themselves, they sought a more thorough investigation regarding his work and powers.
In 2013, his dubious reputation was strengthened by his wife thanks to his scandal with the theater. She very often used the fact that her husband was Vitaly Bykov. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, Rospotrebnadzor, bailiffs - all complied with the requirements of the influential spouse, thereby providing a very difficult life for the theatergoers, who, in turn, tried their best to resolve the conflict peacefully. But Nadezhda Bykova was determined. Therefore, fines were prescribed for all claims, and the whole theater had to "flee" to Moscow. This almost ruined him, but the theater was struggling, but still managed to survive, while incurring tremendous losses.
2010 was marked by the fact that Vitaly Nikolayevich took under his wing an investigation into the Mkhitaryan case, after the successful completion of which he counted on promotion. The objectivity of the Ministry of Internal Affairs officers who conducted the investigation and are subordinate to Bykov is a big question, since the testimonies of the witnesses are very different from those listed in the final documentation.
In 2014, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin removed 30 generals and 6 colonels of the Ministry of the Interior from federal districts, who had already been canceled by this time. This was done for further reassignment.
Golden parachutes
A huge scandal was caused by the story of gold parachutes in the amount of 500 thousand US dollars, which were paid to Vitaly Nikolayevich himself and some of his subordinates. Someone received 750, someone - 205 thousand rubles. However, during the interrogation of the bonus employees, it turned out that as a result, people received only tens of thousands, and the lion's share of such awards remained in the pockets of the authorities.
The former head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the North-West Federal District, General Vitaliy Nikolayevich, was detained in the spring of 2015. He is charged with seizing and wasting budget funds. The total damage, according to preliminary estimates, amounted to 19 million rubles.
