Vladimir Putin: Which side of the war on terror are you on?
Letter 28 30-Dec-2004

It is he, in fact, who is harboring the criminals who planned the assassination attempt and terrorist acts on Ukrainian territory. He, along with the people who wanted to brand the "mark of the beast" on a human face, but instead branded it on their own souls. � Volodymyr Aryev speaking of Vladimir Putin

30 December 2004

Vladimir Putin:

The Channel 5 television broadcast "Terrorists" of 23-Dec-2004 below presents evidence suggesting that the Kremlin put into execution a plan to assassinate Viktor Yushchenko and Yulia Tymoshenko by means of an explosion that would have caused massive damage and inflicted heavy casualties in the heart of the Ukrainian capital.

The same broadcast also points to Gleb Pavlovsky as the originator of the idea of poisoning Viktor Yushchenko. As Pavlovsky is known to have close ties to you, and to Yanukovych allies, and to the head of Leonid Kuchma's Presidential Administration of Ukraine, Viktor Medvedchuk, then on the principle that no one low in the chain of command would implement a drastic measure without express authority from his superiors, it follows that you, Vladimir Putin, may be taken to have approved the plan, along with Viktor Yanukovych, and along with Viktor Medvedchuk and Leonid Kuchma. Talk of subordinates keeping their superiors ignorant of criminal action of international significance is most likely to be a smoke screen which subordinates are required to blow for the purpose of shielding their superiors from blame.

If further evidence substantiates your participation in either the bombing which Ukrainian authorities prevented or the poisoning which they did not, then that will reveal you to be not an ally in the war on terror, but rather one of the terrorists against whom that war needs to be waged.

The price of elections in Ukraine is too high. They are especially important for the Kuchma government and its foreign protectors. The strong ties between Ukrainian office-holders and their Russian partners became evident during the election campaign. Vladimir Putin, president of the Russian Federation, came more than once to Kyiv and Kerch, greeted the pro-government candidate Viktor Yanukovych, appeared together with him on three of the leading television channels. But this was only the showy side of his support.

� �� . � �� . � ��, �� , �� 䳿.

On the other side stood the secret special forces. Russian political consultants participated. And what they contrived together with their Ukrainian partners almost led to tragedy.

Volodymyr Aryev, author of the program:

� Independent Ukraine has not known terror. Its citizens calmly ride in the subway, gather for holidays, sleep without fear in multi-storied buildings. The pre-election campaign also failed to disturb their tranquility � no one ever thought that here, in Ukraine, there would be cars or buildings exploding. But such a danger existed and was real. Because terrorism was being exported from a country that checks the passports of dark-haired people in the streets.

�� , 21 ��. �� 䳿 �� . ³� �� . �� .

The story unfolds on the day of the runoff vote of 21 November. Tragedy was avoided by a miracle. Luck alone saved dozens of people from death. The same good fortune has more than once rescued Ukraine in the last half year.

21 �� . �� . �� .

On November 21, an alarm went off in one of the apartments in the building on the corner of Volodymyrsky and Saksahansky Streets. A matter requiring the attention of the State. Employees of the Pechersky Division of the State Protection Service arrived on the scene.

As the police were examining the surrounding area, their attention was drawn to a light-colored Lada "Niner" parked by the side of the road, and with Russian plate numbers. /p 824 oc 97/

� �� . �� '�� . �� , �� , �� .

Two men were in the car. They presented passports. According to these documents, one was a citizen of Ukraine, the other of Russia.

Volodymyr Stretovych, head of the parliamentary committee combatting corruption and organized crime

� As the documents were being examined, these suspects began to behave abnormally, write the police in their report. It turned out that the passports were forged, and a search of their car revealed that they had a very powerful explosive device. The kind set off by car signalization.

� �� 3 �� . ֳ�� , �� .

In the trunk of the car were 3 kilograms of plastic explosives. Enough explosive power to leave no building standing within a radius of five hundred meters.

�� . �� . �� , 35 ��, �� , �� . �� , 33 ��, �� , �� . �� , �� .

The true names of these people were established. Both were Russian citizens. Mikhailo Mikolayovich Shugay, 35 years of age, native and resident of Moscow, had two previous convictions. The other, Marat Borisovich Moskvitin, 33 years of age, native of Moscow and resident of the village of Vyalovo, Vladimirsky Oblast. While the investigation is in progress, their faces cannot be shown.

� �� '�� . �� . � �� , �� . �� , �� ³�� . �� .

Volodymyr Aryev, author of the program:

� Investigators immediately began to clarify the purpose of their having this explosive device. Terrible things came to light. In September of this year, Shugay became acquainted in Moscow with a person named Surguchov. Shugay�s interlocutor explained to them that there was a job � an attempt on the life of Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Andriyovych Yushchenko. For this purpose, they needed to bring explosives into Ukraine.

�� . �� .

In a few days, Shugay and Moskvitin drove into Ukraine by car. They succeeded in transporting the explosives across the border.

�� . �� 15 ��. �� 21 ��. �� .

The two established themselves in a rented dacha in the village of Dudarkiv. It's close to the capital [Kyiv] � only 15 kilometers away. Here they live sporadically up to 21 November. People don't like to talk about them openly.

� They were rarely here. We saw them only a couple of days. One or two days. Maybe they rented for a couple of months, but we saw them only a few times.
� How did they behave?
� They behaved normally, like ordinary people. Nothing suspicious.

�� , �� -��. �� , �� , �� .

This means that the headquarters were in this building. Here were discovered a radio transmitter, two IZh pistols, silencers, and instructions for making an explosive device.

�� , �� , �� .

The operation was developed in the same way that terrorist acts were once planned in Moscow, which is the subject of several published books.

�� , �� , �� ³�� . �� 250 �� . �� 50 ��.

According to Shugay's testimony, the main targets that were revealed to them in Moscow were two politicians � Viktor Yushchenko and Yulia Tymoshenko. The contractors assessed their lives at 250 thousand dollars. The people carrying out the contract were to receive 50 thousand.

��

Volodymyr Stretovych, head of the parliamentary committee combatting corruption and organized crime

� Their goal as early as the first round was to detonate the requisite explosion near opposition headquarters in order to sow confusion within the investigative agencies and to try to destroy the opposition candidate of the first round, as well as Yulia Tymoshenko. If that could not be accomplished, they were to commit a terrorist act against Viktor Yushchenko without further instruction from Moscow. These are the facts that emerged from the preliminary investigation and court testimony on the occasion of their continued detention being approved. They are currently in solitary confinement pending investigation.

�� . �� .

In the meantime, the contractors are walking around free. An individual by the name of Surguchov was their only contact.

��, �� . �� 21 �� ҳ�, 22� �� . � �� .

It is evident that there were more people carrying out this assignment. On the evening of November 21 near the office of the "People Power" coalition at 22a Borychiv Tik Street, a car was found. With Russian license-plate numbers.

Yevhen Chervonenko � security coordinator of the "People Power" coalition

� The External Surveillance Service reported a car whose plate numbers were surprising. They began checking where the car could have come from and received only silence in response. They notified the police, the police did not react. Then an interesting reaction � the police showed up of its own accord and started cordoning off the area. Explosive devices were discovered. We evacuated the office. � The police removed the car. We were told nothing. Afterward it became clear that the car was wired. It�s all interwoven.

�� . �� , �� . �� , �� .

Law enforcement authorities went into action only after the terrorists were arrested on Saksahansky Street. It became clear that the political sympathies of police leadership had to be laid aside. Because we�re talking about the lives of hundreds of people who might suffer from an explosion.

�� , �� :

� �� . �� ³�� . � �� . �� ?

Volodymyr Aryev, author of the program:

� Two cars with explosives in one day. The car near Viktor Yushchenko's office was found shortly after the accidental arrest of Shugay and Moskvitin on Saksahansky Street. As a result, the terrorist act failed. But who could have been behind it?

�� , �� , �� ³�� .

Audiotapes of telephone conversations of the heads of Viktor Yanukovych�s shadow headquarters surfaced after the runoff election. [Viktor Yanukovych had two headquarters, a public one for display purposes in the former Zoryany Cinema in Kyiv, and a secret one � his "shadow" headquarters � near the building of the Cabinet of Ministers, on 10, Muzeyny Lane, from which control over Yanukovych's campaign was exercised.]

� �� , �� , �� . � � �� ³�� .

In several episodes recorded just before the election, Sergey Klyuyev took an interest in the layout of the opponent's headquarters, and in which of them Viktor Yushchenko's office was located.

Klyuyev: But he needs to have the instruction read to him, how, what, whither, where�
Woman: Well, you�re right, so let him, Sergey, please give him my telephone number, let him call me toward evening, then I will bring him together with the people who will go [by car] with him�
Klyuyev: And they know what address to go to, what to do?!
Woman: No. We need the address, the central office should find out where the headquarters are located.
Klyuyev: Fine, I understand, good.

Woman: Write them a note where it's located so that they know where to go, and give my cell phone number so that they will call me toward evening, around eight o�clock, I will then bring them together with that man, and they will do everything.

� Hello.
Klyuyev: Hello.
� Well, the biggest one, it�s what I said, Yaroslavskaya Street, 1/3.
Klyuyev: One minute. Yarslavskaya�
� There�s a large three-storey house on the corner, and right here in the Podil [Kyiv neighbourhood] are two offices on Borychiv Tik.
Klyuyev: Borychiv Tik.
� Yes, 8a and 22.
Klyuyev: And the main one is where?
� It�s the first one that I said, the very first one.
Klyuyev: Where Yulia is, etc.
� No, Yulia has her own�
Klyuyev: But where is the entire leadership, where they gather? Well, after all, there is one place where they mainly assemble.
� That�s on Borychiv Tik, all the services are on Yaroslavska, everything in one quadrant so to speak�
Klyuyev: And the place where the leadership gets together, that�s where?
� They are on Yaroslavska, 1/3d, his is in 8a � there he can conduct meetings in a smaller circle and I think also in no. 22.
Klyuyev: There is no main place like we have.
� His office is at 8a.
Klyuyev: So is there a lot of security there?
� Yes, a lot, the American Embassy is right next door, with hi-tech in operation � serious.
Klyuyev: Yes, in all three.
� Yes, yes.
Klyuyev: Right. But we have some kinds of positions there. And is there free entrance, what about the entrance? There�s a whole pack of people there, yes?!
� Yes, yes. A service is stationed there.
Klyuyev: Fine, very good, thank you.
� Thank you, goodbye.

�� ? �� , �� ³�� ҳ�.

Why should Sergey Klyuyev be interested in whether there is a lot of protection near the opposition�s headquarters and offices? It is also obvious that several days before the elections Yanukovych�s shadow headquarters is most interested in Viktor Yuchshenko�s office and headquarters on Borychiv Tik Street.

� Should we talk now or should I call back?
Klyuyev: What happened, tell me.
� Well, I�ve just come back from there.
Klyuyev: And so?
� Well, there are cameras everywhere, there�s a bank next door�
Klyuyev: Yes, yes, yes, I know it�s next door.
� Well, there is an iron fence on the territory, right where we talked about, I told her � I called, she says right there where, well, we�ll do it right next to the fence.
Klyuyev: Well, you explain to her how that is possible, it has to be done farther away somehow, you explain to her.
� We�re meeting at 8:00, we�ll discuss those questions, I�ll draw her a layout indicating how and what.
Klyuyev, maybe you should drive by, drive by in a car.
� There�s a dead end there, there�s only one exit, which is even worse, but in principle I can indicate from the side. There�s a staircase there.
Klyuyev: Well, you look into it, see what can be done there. Well, fine, let�s do it!

�� , ��, �� . �� .

Obviously what could have been done did not succeed. A comparison of facts leads to dire conclusions.

Volodymyr Stretovych, head of the parliamentary committee combatting corruption and organized crime

� How deeply this order goes and who ordered these terrorist acts are completely clear. That is why the investigation will provide answers to these questions. The only thing that worries me is that once again we have Russian tracks, once again Russian citizens, and once again we are talking about our neighbor�s interference in our internal affairs with consequences that were planned ahead of time.

�� . ��, �� .

Signs of Russian interference may also crop up unexpectedly in another Ukrainian case, one that shocked the entire world.

Volodymyr Aryev, author of the program:

� The poisoning of Viktor Yushchenko in September of this year [2004]. Facts have already proven that the presidential candidate was poisoned by dioxin. Even the type of dioxin is known; all that is left to do is to uncover the producer. Various suspicions were mooted, that only the Russian special services could have done this. Only an investigation will prove this. But "Closed Zone" was given a transcript of a telephone conversation. The speakers were talking about facts that should compel us to consider the work of the Security Service of Ukraine with certain foreign guests.

�� , �� , �� , �� . ³� �� . �� , �� ³�� . �� , �� (�) � �� ³�� .

It is no secret that a Russian political consultant was in Ukraine during the election campaign � Gleb Pavlovsky, who is the president of the Effective Policy Foundation, and who has close ties to Vladimir Putin. He denied the fact that he was cooperating with the Ukrainian government. But he was often seen with individuals who supported Viktor Yanukovych. Besides that, Pavlovsky had worked with the headquarters of the Social-Democratic Party of Ukraine (United) during the previous parliamentary election, and was in close contact with the head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine, Viktor Medvedchuk.

��, �� . � ��, �� , �� , �� . �� . �� ³�� .

The individuals speaking on the telephone are unknown. There is information that one of them is staying in Kyiv, and is collecting information for the other, who is staying in Moscow. The one from Moscow obviously works with the Russian special services. They are discussing the poisoning of Viktor Yushchenko.

(Moscow) All the specialists say that this is totally crazy.
(Kyiv) I had predicted this earlier...
(Moscow) That they will use...
(Kyiv) They will. And they will blame it on Russia.
(Moscow) Totally crazy.
(Kyiv) Not only that, the Americans will also blame it on Russia.
(Moscow) I�ll say. Although, as far as I understand, they too are sick of Yushchenko.
(Kyiv) Possibly...
(Moscow) And more likely than not, whoever did that, it was them.
(Kyiv) Alexander Ivanovych. There are several options. The moment Russia says that it had nothing to do with this, there are people with appreciable evidence. And that Pavlovsky will have to run quite far.
(Moscow) What's the connection of Pavlovsky's people�
(Kyiv) In this matter?
(Moscow) ... with Yushchenko, could they have poisoned him?
(Kyiv) No, [he's] the originator of the idea. The originator of the idea and the organizer. The inspiration for the idea, do you understand?
(Moscow) No way! That oaf came up with such an idea?
(Kyiv) Absolutely.
(Moscow) And there are people who can confirm this?
(Kyiv) Yes, who can confirm this. Not in the press, but in prosecutor's, well, depositions.
(Moscow) Really?
(Kyiv) Absolutely, what did you think?
(Moscow) Are you saying this seriously?
(Kyiv) Absolutely. Not only that, there are people beyond the borders. Shipped out, as required. When I say there was a large-scale operation underway, I'm not talking about journalistic jokes.
(Moscow) So right now you are delivering serious news regarding that plan, because up to now all that was like a joke. Nobody knows about this.
(Kyiv) I'm not talking about humor.
(Moscow) But absolutely no one knows about these tricks of Pavlovsky's.
(Kyiv) The point was to make his face ugly, to disfigure the messiah, and to brand him with the mark of the beast.
(Moscow) God almighty! So he gave this assignment to someone?
(Kyiv) Yes.
(Moscow) Mama mia!
(Kyiv) As for details, I don't know whether he hired retired or active special operations operatives to prepare this.
(Moscow) Probably retired.
(Kyiv) Now that I cannot say.
(Moscow) It�s totally crazy!
(Kyiv) And so, doesn�t it resemble � cynically speaking.
(Moscow) No, but that villain, he is capable of anything, I have no doubt about it. But to have come up with such a thing.
(Kyiv) But, excuse me, to split up the country into two parts, having provoked a civil war � is that worse, better, or what?
(Moscow) That is even worse.
(Kyiv) In cynical terms, that�s right.
(Moscow) Well, it still fits into the framework of some sort of political... But that is already some kind of criminal act.
(Kyiv) Yes.
(Moscow) Well, well.
(Kyiv) And violence in polling stations, that�s also a criminal act.
(Moscow) Well, yes.
(Kyiv) The organization of violence � that is his position. To squeeze, to create fear, so that people would be afraid to take a step. To arrive and sow fear publicly and ostentatiously � that is his position.
(Moscow) And the Premier knew about this, didn't he?
(Kyiv) In 99% of cases, the premier didn�t even guess. He simply feels sincerely that he was deceived.
(Moscow) Simply, because I watch him in public, and I see that he feels himself to have been totally deceived.
(Kyiv) Ninety-nine percent of the time he knew nothing.
(Moscow) Then who in his headquarters coordinated with Pavlovsky?
(Kyiv) Klyuyev. Prutnyk.
(Moscow) Those two oafs?
(Kyiv) Yes. Well there are also a few other people of lesser caliber.
(Moscow) Well I understand those others as the executors. But they had to have coordinated with someone With those two?
(Kyiv) He did not coordinate, he came up with ideas. Glebushka [Pavlovsky] came up with ideas, and they picked up on them.
(Moscow) And implemented them?
(Kyiv) Well, to the extent of their abilities. The idea of the mark of the beast, he directly took part in carrying it out. He looked for specialists.
(Moscow) Crazy! He, none other than Pavlovsky?
(Kyiv) Yes.
(Moscow) By himself?
(Kyiv) Well, I don't know, through someone.
(Moscow) Well, he looked for specialists, by himself, to complete the assignment. Oh boy! There�s a fine present for you!
(Kyiv) I tell you honestly, this will be blamed on the Russian Special Services. And then we will have to wash ourselves there, � no one will even look at Pavlovsky through a microscope. It will be blamed on State politics.
(Moscow) God Almighty!
(Kyiv) So far that trump card hasn�t been played yet.
(Moscow) And what? Is Yushchenko informed about all this?
(Kyiv) Naturally.
(Moscow) And with evidence?
(Kyiv) Now that I cannot say. But he is informed, yes.
(Moscow) But information can also be false. And what evidence?
(Kyiv) He is informed and intends at some opportunity to release this information.
(Moscow) And who are these people that you say were shipped out of the country, who are they, � the executors?
(Kyiv) People that took part...
(Moscow) In the discussion?
(Kyiv) In the process. At the executive level. It�s the devil�s work.
(Moscow) Oh my! That's how it is...
(Kyiv) When we were spraying spit in relation to Pavlovsky, we would have forseen, understood what we were involved in, predicted the scale...
(Moscow) Well, honestly speaking, with all of my experience, I could never imagine that someone could go for this.
(Kyiv) It�s not surprising at all. Unfortunately, this is typical of those guys. For sure Gelman could have thought of it. This is absolutely normal for them. Such methods of attack. Both Gelman and Shuvalov. Markov is simply stupid, so he could never even imagine that sort of thing, but they are definitely cut from the same cloth. But, you understand, they are not poisoning people. They are poisoning natives, cannibals.
(Moscow) God Almighty! Lovely...
(Kyiv) I expect, of course, that this card will not be put into play, and held as an object of inadequate reaction by Russia.

The facts presented in this discussion are supported by the conclusions of an American professor concerning the goal that was advanced by the choice of poisons. An excerpt from the broadcast of "Voice of America" of 17 December.

� If they chose dioxin to kill him, this is the incorrect chemical. If they chose dioxin to make him incompetent, then again they chose poorly. But if someone had the idea, "Here we have a beautiful man, let's destroy his beauty so that all will turn from him" � then they did choose the absolutely best chemical.

To brand the "mark of the beast" � this was the goal of the political consultants, whose activity led to an attempt on life. They raised the dosage so high that Viktor Yushchenko almost died. That's what the Viennese doctors who treated the presidential candidate said.

The audiotape of conversations of people on the Kyiv-Moscow line testifies to the fact that Russian special services are wonderfully informed about the activities of Pavlovsky in Ukraine. But this information has not made its way to the Kremlin.

(Kyiv) I am confused. Because where are the special operatives looking?
(Moscow) Yes
(Kyiv) They're not looking anywhere. Do you know where they are looking?
(Moscow) Where?
(Kyiv) According to my information, your guys there know all about it. And they are waiting until it all comes to a head and then they will say, but we warned you! But they have stopped at the administrative level. And once again they stopped that paper at the administrative level, and afterwards we decided not to pass it on, that means that is our position. There you have people sitting, and afterwards all the shit in that suitcase will be dumped on the table. So you didn't ask any questions, but when we offered it, it was stopped.
(Moscow) I always passed it on; I didn't put a hold on it.
(Kyiv) I am talking about all those tricks; reports by the special operatives are definitely simply being blocked.
(Moscow) Yeah, looks that way
(Kyiv) After that, people in the Lubianka, I know, are very unhappy with the situation.
(Moscow) Of course.
(Kyiv) And then I realized that they will simply stop issuing information, now that it's being blocked.

Did the political consultants with close ties to the Kremlin consider the poisoning of Viktor Yushchenko to be an ordinary element of the election campaign? The same way that Kremlin functionaries regard cars with explosives?

Obviously, it is easier to plan such things for a foreign country. After all, it is not one's own people will not suffer, but Ukrainians, who to them are foreigners, who appear as foreigners even to the Ukrainian government. Ukrainians will suffer for the sake of foreign and unclean interests. And that is why Ukrainians today need to unite as never before, in order to prevent the unfettered activity in their state of visiting terrorists on tour. In order to prevent those who use terror as a means of achieving their goal to come to power. Otherwise, once they come to power, they will never stop.

Volodymyr Aryev, author of the program:

� The bombing of residential buildings in Moscow on Kashersky Road, Hurianov Street, the taking of hostages at musicals and schools. Tragic events, which pained the whole world, and which now have become ordinary to the Russian leadership. The Kremlin, together with the administration of the Ukrainian president and the staff members subordinated to them, and the consultants during these elections, have done everything possible to spoil relations between Ukraine and Russia. It is a good thing that these events have not affected relations between ordinary Ukrainians and Russians.

Putin. He has acquired a demonic appearance. He promised to drench terrorists in mortar-fire. But it turns out that they have to be hunted in his own home, and to be exported to his neighbors? Putin has become the source of evil for Ukraine, interfering in its affairs by means that are far from peaceful. He personifies the Russian government. It is he, in fact, who is harboring the criminals who planned the assassination attempt and terrorist acts on Ukrainian territory. He, along with the people who wanted to brand the "mark of the beast" on a human face, but instead branded it on their own souls.
