2nd pilot of Tu 154 Rivne biography. Heaven took the best. How the plane of the Russian Ministry of Defense perished. Mass media

The level of training of the crew of the 800th aviation base, flying the Tu-154, which crashed near Sochi, was not in doubt among their colleagues. Former deputy base commander, reserve colonel Alexander Shalygin, who knew the crew members personally, told RT that the management could trust the pilots to transport their family members. Former classmates of the assistant commander of the Tu-154, Alexander Rovensky, fighter aviation pilots, told RT that they did not believe in the crew’s error, and named the possible reasons for the plane’s crash: automatic deflection of the stabilizers and the sudden reverse of one of the engines.

RT talked with friends and colleagues of the deceased crew members of the Russian Ministry of Defense aircraft, which crashed on the morning of December 25 near Sochi. The team’s level of training, colleagues say, was so high that they were tasked with transporting members of the management’s family.

The crew of the tragic flight consisted of eight people. The crew included commander Roman Volkov, his assistant Alexander Rovensky, aviation squadron navigator Alexander Petukhov, senior ship navigator Andrei Mamonov, onboard engineers Alexander Tregubov and Valery Parikmaherov, senior onboard mechanic Viktor Sushkov and senior air radio operator Alexey Sukhanov. All of them served in the 800th air base, located in the southeast of the town of Shchelkovo near Moscow.

Former deputy commander of the 800th air base, reserve colonel Alexander Shalygin told RT that the crew was regularly checked.

“Traditionally, in units of the 800th aviation base, crew training for the transportation of passengers is carried out in strict accordance with governing documents,” Shalygin said. “Before transporting passengers, the crew undergoes serious training until the inspecting persons are fully confident in the ability of the crew members to carry out their duties in conditions of any complexity.”

“The last time I saw the guys was last Monday - Alexander Petukhov (crew navigator - RT), Kolosovsky (senior pilot instructor) and Negrub (deputy commander of the aviation squadron). I came in after vacation, talked, nothing foreshadowed a tragedy,” said Shalygin.

Crew commander

Major Roman Volkov was the commander on the tragic flight. The pilot was born in 1981 into a military family in Poland, and studied at school in the village of Siverskoye, Leningrad Region. After school, he graduated from the Balashov Higher Military Aviation School, served for some time as an instructor pilot in Balashov, and then was assigned to the 800th air base.

“The crew commander was an open and sociable person, a true professional - he flew over three thousand hours, which is very decent. He came to work at our air base sometime after 2011,” said the former deputy commander of the air base.

On the right hand of the commander on the flight was his assistant, Captain Alexander Rovensky. He was born in 1983, lived in the military garrison of the village of Sokol, and then entered and graduated from the Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School in the field of transport aviation.

“We studied together until the third year. Alexander did not take a training flight on the L-39 aircraft (the inspector gave a rating lower than “good” for the flight), so he went to transport aviation and was transferred to a year younger. I stayed in fighter aviation. Alexander graduated from college in 2006,” said a former classmate.

“We are all terrified. We are collecting money for his family. His wife’s birthday is December 28, Alexander has two children,” said the pilot.

Alexander’s friend Anton Avdienko told RT that the deceased officer was a hereditary military pilot.

“We grew up together in the same yard in the village of Sokol. Our parents were involved in military aviation; his father served in a squadron. He never had enemies, and he himself was a calm and sympathetic person,” said a friend of the deceased.

Former deputy commander of the 800th air base, Alexander Shalygin, explained the role of the assistant during the flight.

“The assistant commander is an administrator, chief of staff during the flight. He deals with the registration of passengers, which is always a lot of documentation. The main thing is his organizational skills. During the voyage, he is to the right of the ship’s commander, at the helm,” the colonel said.

Famous squadron navigator

The navigator of the squadron of the crashed plane was Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Petukhov, born in 1967. He was an experienced officer - his total flight time at the time of the tragedy was more than 9 thousand hours.

The former deputy commander of the airbase, Alexander Shalygin, met the deceased in 1994. The last time I saw him was a week before the disaster.

“A lot in the crew depends on the navigator. Alexander went from a simple navigator to a regiment navigator. He caught the first Chechen campaign - then he flew on an AN-72 plane,” the colonel said. The military man recalled that Petukhov was a member of the crew that landed the “uncontrollable” Tu-154 in 2011.

“His child studied at the same school as my son. He has a very good family,” said a former colleague.

Chief navigator of the ship

Captain Andrei Mamonov was the navigator during the tragic morning flight. The deceased was born in 1982 in the city of Chernyakhovsk, Kaliningrad region. His father was also a navigator. In 1999, after graduating from school, Mamonov moved to Moscow. His parents and sister remained in the city.

Flight mechanic

Senior Sergeant Viktor Sushkov (born 1991) was from Voronezh. He was raised by his mother alone, who then worked at a synthetic rubber factory. After graduating from school, Sushkov went to study in Moscow. According to media reports, the last time Victor came to Voronezh, he told his friends that he was going to get married.

Onboard engineers

The engineers on board were senior lieutenant Valery Parikmakherov (born 1987) and Major Alexander Tregubov (born 1965).

It is known about Valery Parikmakherov that he lived in Fryazin with his wife and two sons - three and five years old.

On-board communications were provided by senior air radio operator Alexey Sukhanov (born 1985), and senior on-board mechanic was Viktor Sushkov (born 1991)

Accompanying

In addition, senior instructor-pilot Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Kolosovsky flew with the crew. The former deputy commander of the airbase, Alexander Shalygin, was closely acquainted with him.

“He was the oldest on board, and not long ago he received an Honored Pilot Award, as well as an Order of Courage. He flew an AN-72 - he flew to Syria either to replace the crew or to check it. Previously, Andrei flew an AN-12 - he also went through the Chechen campaign on it,” the former military man said about his colleague.

He added that Kolosovsky was actively involved in passing on his experience to young pilots. Andrey is survived by two daughters. Shalygin also spoke about the chief of staff, deputy of the aviation squadron, Alexander Negrube.

“I started as an electronic equipment engineer, then studied to be a lawyer and became the chief of staff of the squadron. Any commander dreamed of having such a chief of staff! He was on board as a passenger,” the colonel said.

He noted that Negrub was a sociable and very sociable young man.

The former deputy commander of the airbase also said that families of pilots can receive several types of compensation. About 4-5 million rubles from the insurance company, as well as funds from the Ministry of Defense and, possibly, municipalities.

Equipment failure

“I don’t consider the possibility of a piloting error, since the crew of 8 people could not ignore the slightest deviation,” the pilot shared his opinion.

At the same time, he explained that an automation error could have led to the tragedy - although the TU-154 is not a new aircraft, automation plays a role in controlling the ship.

“Their altitude was approximately 500 m. They had a planned turn on a course to Syria. Turning to the right, if the automatic reverser of the right engine is triggered, then the right half-wing will have enormous resistance, which will lead to a vigorous lowering of the nose of the aircraft. Considering that the forward speed of the plane by that time was about 350-400 km/h, it reached the water surface quite quickly,” the pilot said.

In another version, the pilot called the deflection of the stabilizers by automation, as in the Rostov tragedy - the rudders could be deflected automatically into a dive.

“In any case, there are clear actions by the aircraft commander, and the first is the report. Since it wasn’t there, it means it’s not bad fuel, since in that case the engines would have failed one by one,” the pilot shared his opinion.

The level of training of the crew of the 800th aviation base, flying the Tu-154, which crashed near Sochi, was called by colleagues one of the highest. The former deputy commander of the base, reserve colonel Alexander Shalygin, who personally knew the crew members, told RT that the management trusted the pilots to transport their relatives. Former classmates of the assistant commander of the Tu-154, Alexander Rovensky, fighter aviation pilots, told RT that they did not believe in the crew’s error, and named the possible reasons for the plane’s crash: automatic deflection of the stabilizers and the sudden reverse of one of the engines.

RT talked with friends and colleagues of the deceased pilots of the crew of the Russian Ministry of Defense aircraft, which crashed on the morning of December 25 near Sochi.

He also said that former classmates had already called about the tragedy.

“We are all terrified. We are collecting money for his family. His wife’s birthday is December 28, Alexander has two children,” said the pilot.

Alexander’s friend Anton Avdienko told RT that the deceased officer was a hereditary military pilot.

The military man recalled that Petukhov was a member of the crew that landed the “uncontrollable” Tu-154 in 2011.

In 2011, a video of the landing of an uncontrollable Tu-154 was distributed online. The board then tilted heavily and fell in the air.

Immediately after takeoff, the aircraft's control systems failed. But the pilots - Alexander Petukhov was among them - were able to land the plane. All crew members were awarded Orders of Courage.

“His child studied at the same school as my son. He has a very good family,” said a former colleague.

The longer you defend your rights, the more unpleasant the aftertaste.

The second heyday of the Ukrainian special services occurred in the period 1917-1921. In the bloody knot of contradictions turbulent by the First World War, revolutions, the collapse of the Russian Empire, and the civil war, it was impossible to create a Ukrainian state without national secret services.

It would be logical to start with the “spy passions” of the Central Rada (CR). But they are practically absent. The statesmen of this period did not take into account the old truth: “If you don’t want to support your army, you will support someone else’s”. Not to mention the national intelligence service, but they began to Ukrainize army units and rename streets in Kyiv. For which history will immediately punish them.

It is true that even under the Central Revolution there were isolated attempts to establish secret activities in favor of the young state. In March 1918, Colonel Slivinsky reorganized the General Staff.

(Alexander Vladimirovich Slivinsky, colonel of the army of the Ukrainian state at the parade of Ukrainian units in Kyiv. 1918)

An “intelligence” subdepartment headed by Lieutenant Colonel Kolosovsky and a “foreign communications” subdepartment under the leadership of General Berezovsky appeared in its structure. There are isolated references to the existence of a “political bureau for counterintelligence affairs” during the Central Revolution. In general, the special services of the CR were in a deplorable state. This is confirmed by the fact that its leaders were not even informed about the hetman’s coup d’etat.

Career military officer Pavel Skoropadsky took a completely different approach to the creation of law enforcement agencies. As researcher Vladimir Sidak writes: “it was during the period of the hetmanate that special services that were full-fledged, both structurally and in content, were formed, and their experience formed the basis for the functioning of the following security bodies of national statehood”.
With the coming to power of General Skoropadsky P.P. The situation in the sphere of organizing military intelligence has improved somewhat. On June 21, after another reorganization of the General Staff, the intelligence department of the 1st Quartermaster General was recreated. It was expanded and already consisted of:
Management – general management (chief, deputy)
1st department - intelligence in Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, chief - Matvienko (2 officers for assignments, 2 translators, clerical officer)
2nd department - intelligence in the countries formed after the collapse of the Republic of Ingushetia (Soviet Russia, White Russia, Caucasus, Kuban, etc.), chief - Shcherbitsky (2 officers for assignment, clerk)
3rd department - organization of interaction with the relevant authorities of the countries of the Central Bloc (2 officers for assignments, translator, business manager, clerk)

It is interesting that the leadership of the department did not change under the hetman. Kolosovsky, appointed under the CR, remained the head of the department.
Intelligence officers appeared at the headquarters of the Hetman's army formations, organizing reconnaissance in the adjacent territory and having the appropriate staff.

In addition, 2 more structures were engaged in intelligence activities abroad (through military intelligence):
Foreign Communications Department of the 1st Quartermaster General
Foreign Department of the Naval General Staff (since July 1918)

These structures, in addition to military-diplomatic work, performed intelligence functions to obtain secret information, for which they received substantial sums. However, the Intelligence Department remained the coordinator of their intelligence activities.

Every week I prepared a report for other structural units of the General Staff of the RO (example): "for 11–14 spring 1918 for No. 102: “Great Russia. Oryol garrison. According to agent reports, in the 4th century, most of the Oryol garrison went to the front. In Orlya they will be deprived of: 1) 1st Zaliznichny guard of proletarians any revolution in the warehouse one battalion (although there are companies of 100–120 people each). The commander is former sergeant Novikov. In the pen, discipline has been introduced in the manner of the pre-revolutionary period. The soldiers do not rush and do not rob. It is supposed to form a machine gun company and a squadron during the corral. Well, the battery has 4 batteries.
During the drive, a horse is formed under the command of the former captain Plotnikov. The docks have already been formed. 2) One 6-harmonic battery of the 1st Soviet harmonic division. People and horses, apparently, there is no good discipline. 3) One company of the 2nd Communist infantry regiment in a warehouse of 70-80 people. It was no longer available for the formation and training of marching companies, which were sent to the front for parts of the Oryol garrison. 4) Polish regiment, which is in the period of formation. Only two companies of 80–100 people were formed. The regiment commander was former second lieutenant Volinsky, the soldiers were mostly former legionnaires of Dovbur-Mushnitsky’s corps. Only Poles-Bolsheviks are accepted into the regiment"

The work of military intelligence under the hetman was more successful than during the period of the Central Revolution. Hetman and the General Staff had reliable information about both the armed forces of the Reds and the Whites, but organizational work on interaction with the intelligence services of the Central Powers was never established. The situation was the same with the work in relation to Romania... But at the same time, there were undoubted successes - the rapprochement of the Kuban and Don with Ukraine can be considered the merit of military intelligence officers and diplomats.

It is curious that Hetman’s intelligence even carried out subversive activities against the Volunteer Army on the territory of the Kuban (which was caused by Denikin’s negative attitude towards the idea of Ukrainian independence). Trainloads of weapons were leaving for Kuban, and even preparations were being made for an uprising against the volunteers. The consequence of this was the arrest by white counterintelligence of one of the Ukrainian intelligence officers K. Polivan, and the Ukrainian Ambassador to Kuban F. Borzhinsky (former RIA officer) was shot. Polivan managed to return to Ukraine...

Special structures of the Hetman's Personal Headquarters

Special department (Special department)
It was created almost immediately after the coup.
OO objectives:
- information about various political and national movements, their relationship to the regime;
- informing about the struggle of law enforcement agencies against the anti-state activities of political parties, organizations and individuals seeking to undermine the hetman’s power;
- collecting information about the activities abroad of political parties and movements disloyal to the regime, the subversive work of which may negatively affect the internal situation and international politics of Ukraine;
- carrying out special assignments of Hetman within the competence of the unit.

The activities of this structure were regulated by the “Regulations on the Special Branch of the Headquarters of Hetman P. Skoropadsky, the competence of his town officials and subordinates.” In the system of law enforcement and security departments of the Ukrainian State, the PA occupied a leading position.
The structure of the public association included:
the head of the department, his assistant, commission officers, senior officers who were in charge of secret office work, district officers, as well as such units as the legal and information department, and the department office.

In total, the PA (excluding branches and offices) employed 7 line officers and 8 district officers (positions of lieutenant colonel-colonel). All officials of the department, both military and civilian, who were on active military service at Hetman's headquarters and enjoyed the rights and benefits established for employees of the military department.
For malfeasance or omissions in service, they were subject to liability on a general basis, as for officials. Military personnel, as well as persons who entered military service, had to take an oath of allegiance to the Ukrainian State, provided for by the law of May 30, 1918.

District PA officers, who oversaw each of the 8 provinces of the state, had the rights of commanders of individual battalions and were authorized representatives of the PA in the region. They had the right to organize work on the territory assigned to them within the competence of the department, and also enjoyed the right to conduct investigative measures.

The most important structural unit of the NGO was the information department. Its composition, in addition to its chief, included four staff officers for the development and classification of operational materials, external surveillance agents (on a separate staff), a special clerk and a typist with permission to work with secret documents. To manage external surveillance, a manager was appointed, to whom the agents in Kyiv, as well as those sent to the regions of the country, were directly subordinate.

Agents were divided into three categories depending on their pay: higher, middle and junior ranks. They were staffed by people who remained for long-term service, completed peacetime training command courses and received the appropriate certifications. When enlisted as surveillance agents, they were restored to the military rank of super-conscript and were obliged by personal subscription to serve for at least a year. During this time, they could only be dismissed disciplinary action.
The acceptance of agents for long-term service was announced in an order for a special department, which was recorded in their service record. The agents enjoyed all the rights and benefits of long-term conscripts, and for misconduct and omissions during service they were subject to the penalties of the Disciplinary Charter provided for over-conscripts of military combat units.

In addition, as part of the orders of the Hetman, the OO fought against corruption (and not unsuccessfully), and also performed counterintelligence functions. He was involved in military censorship.

To summarize, we can say that the Special Department of the Hetman’s Personal Staff was a fairly effective special service, the functions of which, in addition to political investigation, included intelligence and counterintelligence...

At the same time, it can be noted that the OO duplicated the functions of the Information Departments of the Department of State Warta of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but this was determined by the decision of Hetman himself: “I trust you, and you can miraculously persist in your right in your Department of State War, but I insist on the creation of a special matter in this time of need. You may, in the future, not be the Minister of Internal Affairs, and I really don't want to Let us notify only one person."
The OO was headed by Dmitry Petrovich Buslo (civilian), former deputy prosecutor in the Odessa Court Chamber (killed in December 1918 in Odessa)

Personal security team of the Hetman Commandant's Office
The structure is similar to the modern Department of State Security of Ukraine. It is curious that for the physical safety of Skoropadsky P.P. In addition to the Commandant’s Office (convoy and LOC), there was also a special forces detachment in charge, which contacted directly the Chief of Personal Staff.
The LOC, in addition to the physical protection of the hetman and his family members, residence and traffic routes, also performed operational search functions; the head of the LOC and officers had their own agents for assignments.

State LOK:
Chief (manager) (enjoyed the rights of a regiment commander), his senior and junior assistants, four officers for assignments, two senior duty officers, a clerk, a scribe, a messenger at the office, 55 permanent guards near the residence, 46 observers (external surveillance), seven clerks and two drivers.

The LOC was headed by Colonel N.N. Arkas. (according to other sources, former RIA captain headquarters Nikolai Arkas at the same time commanded a separate Serdyutsky division in Kyiv).

Special structures of the Department of State Warta of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
The special structures of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, whose functions included conducting intelligence, counterintelligence activities and also political investigation, included:
Information Department (and its territorial divisions);
Border points
Special secret offices (points) abroad.
Information department

Performed tasks of political investigation and counterintelligence ( "work on the proactive, detection and execution of evil against the sovereign order and security of the state, collecting information about political uprisings, strikes, partisan-insurgent, trade union movement, political parties and the like functionaries, the mood of the population")
Composition (51 people):
- management and officials for special assignments
- general department
- secret compartment
- railway department
- registration part
- forensic laboratory
The territorial bodies of the OV DDV differed both in structure and in the number of personnel.

It's interesting that:
1. Each IA department (both in the central office and locally) had a journalist position on its staff (sometimes even more than one).
2. the activities of the IA were regulated not only by internal instructions, but also by old regulations of the Russian Empire.
3. With the help of the IA, the German command tried to organize its own information network - the Information and Propaganda Bureau.

DDV border checkpoints (1st and 2nd class)
Created on August 30, 1918. They worked directly with the leadership of the DDV, interacted with the OV and the legitimation (such as OVIR) department of the DDV. They performed the functions of political investigation in the border zone, counterintelligence and border intelligence. In addition, they performed tasks "to provide assistance to those arriving within the Ukrainian State and those outside the border, as well as to protect their interests; the permeation of illegal and evil elements between the powers..." Compound:
chief, clerk (deputy), assistant clerk (only for 1st class), two clerical officials of the 2nd category, 2/1 senior supervisors, 8/6 junior supervisors, senior guard, 3/2 guards (with increased pay), 27 /16 varts (with reduced pay).
