The decree on his appointment was signed by the President of Russia. Earlier Burlin served as the first deputy head of the FSB of Russia in the Voronezh region.

Sergey Solodovnikov may be transferred to Samara
Let us remind you that this is not the first rotation in power structures in the Kirov region. In January 2015, the head of the FSB Directorate for the Kirov Region was replaced. Colonel Sergei Mochalov replaced Oleg Burlin, who was appointed in October 2014, in this post. Also this year it became known that the chief prosecutor of the Kirov region, Sergei Berizhitsky, may go to service in Orenburg. On January 26, at a meeting of the government of the Orenburg region, his candidacy was agreed upon for the post of prosecutor of the Orenburg region.
It took operatives from the departments of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kamchatka Territory only a few hours to establish the personal data of all members of the killer brigade who flew to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to eliminate the FSB officer. But when the criminals were detained and began to testify, the criminal case opened on the fact of attempted murder (Articles 30 and 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) was classified, and information about the brilliant result of the coordinated joint work of the Kamchatka departments of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not get into press releases law enforcement agencies and news feeds of news agencies. Perhaps they decided to cover up the criminal case with a camouflage of secrecy because the thread of the perpetrators' testimony led to the customer, who supposedly turned out to be ... an FSB colonel.
FSB operative Alexander Nechaev was attacked on October 18 in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. There were three attackers. But the officer was not frightened, did not lose his head, did not humbly wait for him to be killed. Nechaev fought back the criminals. The officer was taken to the hospital with multiple knife wounds and operated on. Nechaev was still in the intensive care unit, was recovering from anesthesia and could not testify, and the joint operational-search group of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB had already seized all the recordings from CCTV cameras in the area of the attack, and it was from them that, within several hours, she was able not only to establish suspects look, but also identify them by finding out their personal data.
By the time the suspects were identified, they had already left Kamchatka and were on board a plane flying from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to Moscow. At this time, the central office of the FSB received an encrypted message with the flight number, names, surnames and descriptions of the suspects in the attack on the FSB officer. A special rapid reaction squad moved to Domodedovo, and when the plane landed, all the suspects were detained. And they were sent back to Kamchatka, where by the decision of the city court they were escorted to the pre-trial detention center. At the very first interrogations, the testimony of the killers stunned the investigators. It turned out that the "liquidation order" had come from Voronezh.
By the time of the interrogations, the investigators had already broken through the billing of the suspects' phones and what in the language of the operatives is called "contacts of the defendants", and had already established that the guests of Kamchatka, who were interested in the investigation, were actively in contact with the Voronezh businessman Alexander Asafov.
In the late nineties, Asafov was better known in Voronezh as the leader of the “boxer brigade” under the nickname Strong. But since 1998, having been released after his fourth conviction, Asafov went into business, in fact, almost monopolizing the alcohol market in the Voronezh region. Asafov no longer came into the field of view of law enforcement officers. And even, on the contrary, he was friends with many security officials. Including with the first deputy head of the FSB department in the Voronezh region, Colonel Oleg Burlin.
The investigation suspected that Asafov acted as an intermediary between the killers and the customer of the murder of Alexander Nechaev.
Based on the principle of the presumption of innocence, we cannot call Oleg Burlin the customer of the murder of Alexander Nechaev. But we can try to restore the events that took place before the attempt on Nechaev's life and after the perpetrators of the attempt were arrested and transferred to the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky pre-trial detention center.
Prior to his appointment to the Far Eastern Federal District, Alexander Nechaev served in the Voronezh department of the FSB. In Voronezh, they say that Colonel Oleg Burlin "developed a personal hostile relationship" to Nechaev (some sources hint at a classic love triangle). It was Burlin who allegedly had a hand in transferring Nechaev from Voronezh to the Far East. True, the head of the Center public relations The FSB of Russia Nikolai Zakharov, in response to an inquiry from Novaya, denied this rumor, writing that "The employees specified in the request have never been among themselves in relation to subordination, which excludes the possibility of one of them making decisions to transfer the other to a new duty station."
Two weeks before the attack on Nechaev, on October 4, 2014, Oleg Burlin was appointed head of the FSB department for the Kirov region. But already on January 15 of this year, a new leader was introduced to the Kirov Chekists ( Colonel Sergei Mochalov. — THEM.). At the same time, according to eyewitnesses, Colonel Burlin was not present at the ceremony of introducing the new leader. In the already mentioned response to our request, the head of the DSP of the FSB of Russia Nikolai Zakharov emphasized: "Please note that the employee who replaced the post of the head of the FSB department of Russia in the Kirov region was dismissed from military service in 2015 for family reasons in accordance with the report he submitted."
Agree, it is at least bewildering that an officer appointed to the general's position on October 4, three months later, submits a letter of resignation of his own free will. But even more bewilderment was caused by the response to Novaya's inquiry, which we received from the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Kamchatka Territory, which is in charge of a criminal case on the assassination of FSB officer Alexander Nechaev. Senior Assistant to the Head of the Department, Major of Justice Elena Matafanova told Novaya Gazeta that "Asafov and Burlin were interrogated as witnesses in the criminal case."
The interrogation of Asafov as a witness can also be explained by the fact that the suspects who attacked the FSB officer testified about the Voronezh businessman, explaining their visit to Kamchatka by his request. But why did Burlin become a witness in the criminal case? If, as the DSP of the FSB, Burlin and Nechaev asserts, I repeat the quote from the response to the request: "... have never been among themselves in relation to subordination"? Or is the status of "witness" an intermediate status, and the investigation took a break before bringing charges so that the current FSB colonel had time to remove his shoulder straps? Or has it already been decided that the assassination attempt on the FSB officer had no customers?
P.S. We continue to follow the progress of the investigation into the attempted murder of FSB officer Alexander Nechaev and are ready to listen to Oleg Burlin and Alexander Asafov in order to acquaint Novaya's readers with their versions of the motives for the crime.
The FSB generals, who are currently in charge of this service, form the basis of this key structure, which is designed to ensure the national security of the state. in its current state it was formed in 1995, since then the closest attention has been riveted to its leaders.

At that time, the structure was just being formalized and was officially called the Federal Counterintelligence Service of the Russian Federation.
Golushko held this post for only two months, after which he was appointed by President Boris Yeltsin as an adviser to the director of the FSB. During the years of Soviet power, he headed the KGB of the Ukrainian SSR.

He was the commandant of the Moscow Kremlin, acted as an attesting witness during the arrest of the Deputy Prime Minister of one of the inspirers of the Emergency Committee.
In the 90s, Barsukov was often criticized by colleagues in the shop. In particular, accusing him of low professional qualities. For example, according to the ex-Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Anatoly Sergeevich Kulikov, Barsukov's entire service was held in the Kremlin, he was responsible for the security of the top officials of the state. Many believed that Barsukov ended up at the head of the security service only thanks to the head of Yeltsin's security, Alexander Korzhakov, who had some influence over the president.
In June 1996, he resigned after a scandal during Yeltsin's election campaign. His name is closely connected with the detention of activists from the presidential campaign headquarters Lisovsky and Yevstafiev, who tried to take out half a million dollars in a paper box.

Nikolai Kovalev has been serving in the state security agencies since 1974. He was appointed to the post of FSB director after a scandal over alleged violations of the rules of currency transactions and the conduct of Boris Yeltsin's presidential campaign in 1996.

Having become the head of the FSB, he appointed his well-known Patrushev, Ivanov and Cherkesov as his deputies. Reorganized the entire service. In particular, he abolished the department for economic counterintelligence, and also liquidated the counterintelligence department for the provision of strategic objects. Instead, he created six new directorates. Achieved significant salary increases and uninterrupted funding. Interestingly, Putin himself wished to be the first civilian director of the FSB, abandoning the rank of major general, which Yeltsin had proposed to him.
Putin left the post of FSB director on August 9, becoming the chairman of the government. Two days earlier, Chechen fighters under the command of Khattab and Basayev entered Dagestan. The creation of the Islamic State of Dagestan was proclaimed.
Already prime minister, Putin spearheaded an operation against the militants. In mid-September, they were finally driven out of Dagestan.
