Former Russian Presidential Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District
Former plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District (2007-2009). Previously - Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (2006-2007), auditor of the Accounts Chamber of Russia (2005), deputy plenipotentiary representative in the Southern Federal District (2003-2005), head of the personnel department of the State Fisheries Committee (2002-2003), coordinator of the fund " Cultural Initiative" (1994) and an employee of the Committee for External Relations of St. Petersburg (1991). Served in the KGB. Retired police colonel general.
Oleg Aleksandrovich Safonov was born on August 24, 1960 in Ulyanovsk. In 1982 he graduated from the Moscow Higher Border School of the KGB of the USSR named after Mossovet, in 1989 - the Red Banner Institute of the KGB of the USSR. In 1982-1991 he worked in the state security agencies. While serving in the KGB, he met Vladimir Putin and worked with him for some time in the GDR. According to some reports, since then Safonov and Putin have maintained friendly relations.
In 2000, when Putin was elected president of the Russian Federation, Safonov received the position of adviser to the governor of the Leningrad region Valery Serdyukov on economic issues. According to some reports, Safonov was considered as a candidate for senator from the region.
In 2002-2003, Safonov worked as head of the personnel department of the State Committee for Fisheries (Goskomrybolovstvo), which at that time was headed by Evgeniy Nazdratenko, , , . According to some reports, in 2003, Safonov supported a businessman, director of the Kaliningrad packaging plant, Andrei Krainiy, in a conflict with the ex-governor of Kaliningrad and the head of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Kaliningrad Sea Fishing Port" Leonid Gorbenko. As a result, a criminal case was opened against Gorbenko, and Krainy became the head of the port.
Also in 2003, Safonov graduated from the North-Western Academy of Public Administration.
In August 2003, Safonov became deputy plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Southern Federal District (SFD) Viktor Kazantsev. He retained his post after the appointment of new plenipotentiary representatives to the Southern Federal District: in March 2004, Vladimir Yakovlev became him, and in September of the same year he was replaced by Dmitry Kozak, , , , . The media mentioned that Deputy Plenipotentiary Safonov was robbed on New Year's Eve in Essentuki, where he celebrated 2005. From his room in the Shakhtar sanatorium, a Makarov pistol with two clips, identification cards of an FSB officer and a deputy plenipotentiary representative, a gold brooch and clothes, as well as 16 thousand rubles and 1 thousand 600 US dollars were stolen. An investigation was carried out and several local residents were detained, who were almost accused of terrorism, but then released. According to other sources, during the New Year celebrations, Safonov himself lost his weapons and identity cards.
In March 2005, deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation approved Safonov as an auditor of the Accounts Chamber of Russia. According to some sources, Kozak contributed to this appointment. Formally, Safonov's candidacy was nominated by the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia. In his new post, Safonov oversaw the expenditure of budget funds for national security and law enforcement activities. During his work at the Accounts Chamber, he became “famous” for sharply criticizing the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for violations of financial discipline.
In November 2006, Safonov took the post of Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Rashid Nurgaliev, replacing Colonel General Andrei Novikov, who was considered one of the most likely successor to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to media reports, Safonov’s appointment came as a complete surprise to employees of the central office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In informal conversations, ministry employees noted that Safonov had no experience in law enforcement, which allegedly prevented him from effectively leading the criminal police service. It was also noted that the criminal investigation department, the department of economic security and the department for combating organized crime and terrorism, supervised by Safonov, practically stopped reporting on successfully carried out high-profile operations.
In February 2007, after reshuffles in the government and the Ministry of Defense, the media suggested impending personnel changes in the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Experts called Safonov a possible new minister of internal affairs instead of Nurgaliev, who allegedly could replace Mintimer Shaimiev as president of Tatarstan. Subsequently, this forecast did not come true. In August 2007, Safonov went on a long-term vacation, after which, according to some information, he no longer signed any important documents and in fact did not participate in the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
On October 30, 2007, by decree of President Putin, Safonov was appointed plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD). In this post, he replaced Kamil Iskhakov, who had previously been appointed Deputy Minister of Regional Development of Kozak. According to media reports, Safonov sought the post of plenipotentiary representative in the Southern District, but this appointment did not take place, as the Kremlin feared an aggravation of the situation in the region due to Safonov’s conflictual relations with the leadership of a number of Caucasian republics. In particular, the head of Ingushetia, Murat Zyazikov, opposed the appointment of Safonov.
On the day of his appointment, Putin said that one of Safonov’s top priorities as plenipotentiary envoy would be the decriminalization of the region. At the same time, the media noted a decrease in the overall crime rate in the Far East in recent years. Thus, in the first half of 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, there was a sharp decrease in the number of murders (by 22.8 percent), robberies (by 13.6 percent) and extortion (by 18.2 percent). The overall crime rate fell by 4.5 percent. At the same time, some sources claimed that Safonov’s main task as plenipotentiary would be to control the expenditure of funds allocated for the reconstruction of the Far East in preparation for the APEC summit, which will be held in 2012 in Vladivostok, and for the implementation of the federal target program “Development of the Far East.” East and Transbaikalia until 2013." The latter assumed financial injections into the district from the federal budget in the amount of 430 billion rubles.
In March 2008, the first deputy prime minister of the government, Dmitry Medvedev, won the presidential elections in Russia. On May 7, 2008, he took office as head of state, and on May 14 appointed seven plenipotentiary representatives of the head of state in the federal districts. According to the presidential decree, Safonov retained his post as plenipotentiary representative in the Far Eastern Federal District.
On April 30, 2009, by decree of Medvedev, Safonov was dismissed from the post of plenipotentiary representative with the wording “in connection with the transfer to another job.” The governor of the Khabarovsk Territory, Viktor Ishaev, was appointed in his place. The media reported that the resignation of the plenipotentiary representative was preceded by a “wave of compromising evidence.” According to experts, the campaign against Safonov was caused by the interest of some representatives of the political elite in the 100 billion rubles promised by Deputy Prime Minister Putin to host the APEC summit in 2012 in Vladivostok.
Safonov is a retired police colonel general and has state awards. He is married to the daughter of Russian Presidential Assistant Viktor Ivanov.

Excerpt characterizing Safonov, Oleg Petrovich
Pierre did not answer, but looked affectionately into the Frenchman’s eyes. This expression of participation pleased him.- Parole d"honneur, sans parler de ce que je vous dois, j"ai de l"amitie pour vous. Puis je faire quelque chose pour vous? Disposez de moi. C"est a la vie et a la mort. C"est la main sur le c?ur que je vous le dis, [Honestly, not to mention what I owe you, I feel friendship for you. Can I do something for you? Use me. This is for life and death. I tell you this with my hand on my heart,” he said, hitting his chest.
“Merci,” said Pierre. The captain looked intently at Pierre the same way he looked when he learned what the shelter was called in German, and his face suddenly lit up.
- Ah! dans ce cas je bois a notre amitie! [Ah, in that case, I drink to your friendship!] - he shouted cheerfully, pouring two glasses of wine. Pierre took the glass he had poured and drank it. Rambal drank his, shook Pierre's hand again and leaned his elbows on the table in a thoughtfully melancholy pose.
“Oui, mon cher ami, voila les caprices de la fortune,” he began. – Qui m"aurait dit que je serai soldat et capitaine de dragons au service de Bonaparte, comme nous l"appellions jadis. Et cependant me voila a Moscou avec lui. “Il faut vous dire, mon cher,” he continued in the sad, measured voice of a man who is about to tell a long story, “que notre nom est l"un des plus anciens de la France. [Yes, my friend, here is the wheel of fortune. Who said I wish I would be a soldier and captain of dragoons in the service of Bonaparte, as we used to call him. However, here I am in Moscow with him. I must tell you, my dear... that our name is one of the most ancient in France.]
And with the easy and naive frankness of a Frenchman, the captain told Pierre the history of his ancestors, his childhood, adolescence and manhood, all his family, property, and family relationships. “Ma pauvre mere [“My poor mother.”] played, of course, an important role in this story.
– Mais tout ca ce n"est que la mise en scene de la vie, le fond c"est l"amour? L"amour! “N"est ce pas, monsieur; Pierre?” he said, perking up. “Encore un verre.” [But all this is only an introduction to life, its essence is love. Love! Isn’t it so, Monsieur Pierre? Another glass. ]
Pierre drank again and poured himself a third.
- Oh! Les femmes, les femmes! [ABOUT! women, women!] - and the captain, looking at Pierre with oily eyes, began to talk about love and his love affairs. There were a lot of them, which was easy to believe, looking at the smug, handsome face of the officer and at the enthusiastic animation with which he spoke about women. Despite the fact that all of Rambal's love stories had that dirty character in which the French see the exceptional charm and poetry of love, the captain told his stories with such sincere conviction that he alone experienced and knew all the delights of love, and described women so temptingly that Pierre listened to him with curiosity.
It was obvious that l "amour, which the Frenchman loved so much, was neither that lower and simple kind of love that Pierre once felt for his wife, nor that romantic love, inflated by himself, that he felt for Natasha (both types of this love Rambal equally despised - one was l"amour des charretiers, the other l"amour des nigauds) [the love of cab drivers, the other - the love of fools.]; l"amour, which the Frenchman worshiped, consisted mainly in the unnaturalness of relationships with women and in the combination of ugliness that gave the main charm to the feeling.
So the captain told the touching story of his love for one charming thirty-five-year-old marquise and at the same time for a charming innocent seventeen-year-old child, the daughter of a charming marquise. The struggle of generosity between mother and daughter, which ended with the mother, sacrificing herself, offering her daughter as a wife to her lover, even now, although a long-past memory, worried the captain. Then he told one episode in which the husband played the role of a lover, and he (the lover) played the role of a husband, and several comic episodes from souvenirs d'Allemagne, where asile means Unterkunft, where les maris mangent de la choux croute and where les jeunes filles sont trop blondes [memories of Germany, where husbands eat cabbage soup and where young girls are too blond.]

In these conflicts, the governors were defended by the Prosecutor General in the person of the Deputy Prosecutor General [Yuri Chaika] for the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Gulyagin, and the Investigative Committee at the Prosecutor's Office (i.e. e.). ("Vedomosti" dated 06/04/2009).

Between 1982 and 1994. was an expert at the St. Petersburg City Hall Committee for External Relations. At that time, I met the future president, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, who at that time was the chairman of the KVS. He led the solution to the issue of hotel management, and also solved problems related to the development of a network of illegal gambling and casinos, being in the status of a member of the Council on these issues.
Since 1994, he has been an active participant in the management of the development direction of the International State Fund called the “Cultural Initiative”.
Career in the 2000s
The year two thousand of Oleg Alexandrovich began with receiving the position of assistant to the head of the Leningrad region.
Three years later he was appointed patron of the Personnel Directorate of Russia for Fishing of the State Committee.
For two years, starting in 2003, he had the status of Deputy Ambassador of the President of Russia, authorized in the Southern Federal District.
The year 2004 became incredibly difficult for Safonov, as he became involved in dealings with terrorists on the side of the authorities of the North Caucasus Federal District. He managed to convince the invaders to meet with the plenipotentiary to resolve the conflict. The whole situation arose due to unrest in the city of Cherkessk, which is the capital of Karachay-Cherkessia. The rioters barricaded the main building of the Government House of the Republic, from which the head of this subject, Mustafa Batdyev, was able to escape at that time.
After this incident, until 2006, he was an auditor of the Russian Accounts Chamber.
Until 2006 he worked as Deputy Minister of Russia for Internal Affairs. Became supervisor of the criminal police.

Has a wife and daughter.
Relations with politicians
In the position of plenipotentiary representative, in the period from 2007 to 2009, Oleg was unable to establish good relations with any of the leaders of the Far East region. However, he began to communicate quite closely with Viktor Ivanov, who actively collaborated with the governor of the Kamchatka region, Alexey Kuzmitsky. He was also in a difficult relationship with Iskhakov’s protege, who at that time was the head of the Amur region. He achieved that Kolesov was dismissed in 2008. He did not see eye to eye with Sergei Darkin, who was the head of the Primorsky Territory, and Viktor Ishaev, the governor of the Khabarovsk Territory, which also led to many conflicts. In these showdowns, Oleg’s interests were represented by the Investigative Committee, but the Prosecutor General’s Office stood up for the governors.
There is a suspicion that this person has family ties with what Moskovsky Komsomolets reported in 2007. This theory was first supported by the argument that the daughter of the adviser to the head of the country, Viktor Ivanov, was married to Oleg. However, official documents refute this opinion. The second hypothesis is that already the daughter Elizaveta married the son of Viktor Ivanov - Yaroslav. Again, Lisa has not yet reached adulthood. Therefore, this option is not possible.
Touches to the biography of Oleg Alexandrovich Safonov
