According to https://crimerussia.info, the head of the center for IT, communications and information protection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tatarstan, Lenar Samigullin, was detained by law enforcement agencies for allegedly accepting a 175,000 ruble bribe from the Moscow company Infotrest-R, a supplier of radio communications for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
According to the news agency Kazan Reporter, Andrey Kiyan, the general director of Infotest-R JSC, is suspected of giving a bribe for the second time to Samigullin in exchange for preferences when choosing a company for a state contract.

As it turns out, Kiyan has already been placed under house arrest for suspected major fraud in the supply of equipment to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in July 2021. He is accused of supplying low-quality Apex-351 radios, causing an estimated damage of 52.9 million rubles.

Interestingly, despite the ongoing controversy, Infotrest-R is still supplying questionable equipment to various organizations, including those within the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Fresh lots were found in the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Orenburg Region and FKU TSOUMTS of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

The company Infotrest-R has a questionable reputation, as its founder Igor Zorin is also involved in financial fraud. Discoveries of his real estate in Miami in 2017 confirm that he is not in poverty. Additionally, Zorin was dismissed from the post of general director of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Russian Broadcasting and Notification Networks due to a loss of confidence.

Igor Zorin
The same Zorin used to be the deputy head of Rossvyaz and the head of the federal enterprise Main Center for Special Communications. He likely established connections with the right people during his tenure. For example, he is allegedly associated with the former FSB officer Svyatoslav Mangushev and is responsible for owning elite real estate in Miami. During Zorin's leadership, the RSVO transferred 70 state contracts worth more than 380 million rubles to security companies associated with Mangushev. Not all cash flows passed through official channels, and kickbacks when concluding contracts were not uncommon.
Be careful what you write! (or a Futurologist who makes money on government contracts)
Equally interesting is the second founder of Inforest-R, who happens to be the former State Duma deputy, chairman of the board of directors, and oddly enough, a futurist named Kirill Ignatiev. It's worth pondering whether he predicted that his name would soon appear in our article.

Kirill Ignatiev owns another 21 organizations, most of which have been liquidated, and four of the remaining six have state contracts with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Kirill Ignatiev
Then the most interesting thing: having chosen one of Ignatiev’s firms and opening a random contract with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we stumbled upon the familiar name of the former deputy head of the logistics department of the logistics department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Sergey Gorelik.

It is this character, as The Moscow Post wrote earlier, who is involved in embezzlement from the budget of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Then Gorelik was credited with complicity in obtaining state contracts for FSUE Goznak. It turns out that an enterprising employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had such a scheme put on stream.
By the way, now Gorelik is also unlikely to be in poverty: he is responsible for purchases at the Moscow City State Institution “Technical Center of the Department of Culture of the City of Moscow.”
But back to the futurist deputy. Over the entire period of functioning of their operating companies, Ignatiev and his comrades earned a total of more than two billion rubles on state contracts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Sometimes the state procurement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs literally saved Ignatiev’s company from bankruptcy. For example, in 2017, after receiving a contract with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tatarstan for 14 million rubles, the profit schedule of T-Telecom LLC literally jumped to the mark of more than 20 million rubles of net profit per year. True, the very next year, incomes began to fall sharply – only as Ignatiev needed the money somewhere on the side.

Where does the former State Duma deputy get such preferences when receiving contracts from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Is everything based only on monetary relations with decision makers in the structures? May be so. In any case, it is unlikely that Zorin introduced Ignatiev to the right people. The first contract concluded with the Ministry of Internal Affairs by an enterprising futurist dates back to 2011.

And a company that produces electrical equipment for the needs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs appeared with Ignatiev back in 1997. Therefore, there is reason to believe that the businessman’s long-term plans began to take shape back in those years. Apparently, after all, he really knows how to look into the future. Only for some reason he did not take into account that everything secret sooner or later becomes clear.
