What the police can't handle, a private detective for hire takes on

Denis has over 15 years of detective work experience

A private detective in Russia is different from the character of a noir film of the 50s. No shabby raincoats, revolvers in a holster and chronic alcoholism - in our realities everything is more prosaic. There is no talk of extended powers either: no one will allow them to break through the location of the phone or conduct covert filming in the house.
Without even a share of the resources that the police have, a private detective may well conduct full-fledged investigations himself: point out errors in the investigation, act on the side of the defense, or even help the police. It's not about the possibilities, but about the natural talent to seek information.


Meet Denis Iskakov, a private detective with over 15 years of experience. We talked with him about this mysterious profession, which usually receives little attention.
- How did you get into this profession?
— I was a criminal police officer. When he left the authorities, he first underwent training as a detective, applied for a license: that he was not convicted and that he resigned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs with good characteristics. Started working as a private detective. Then, when there was a lot of work, when the staff needed to be developed, I began to hire employees. Organized the agency in this way.
- That is, to be a private detective, you need to have experience in the criminal investigation department?
- Previously, it was a prerequisite - at least three years of operational experience. Not investigative, not precinct, namely operational experience. Now it's been simplified. A simple civilian with a higher education can get a detective license or take training to get a diploma stating that you have completed the courses.
I don't know what they teach there. They're just checking their knowledge of the law. It is nonsense. The training should be conducted by old people who at least worked in the authorities, and then worked as detectives so that the students understand the profession from all sides.
- Why did you decide to leave the authorities and engage in private investigations?
- I'm glad to serve, but it's sickening to serve.

People often do not understand how a private detective works

Do you remember your first assignment?
- It is unlikely. I don't even remember, it was too long ago. Maybe it was necessary to find a person - I then specialized more in this.
- And how to find a person?
Let's say there is a phone number. The phone is registered to you. If not on you, then all the same, it is connected to some online banks in your name. Accordingly, through them you can get your data. When there is data, all information about you can be found, including any other phones you have ever used. In addition, when filling out an application for a loan, you also leave a phone number and place of work. All this can be known. With such information, finding a person is not a problem.
- Do you have informants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
- An informant can only be a civilian. There are police officers whom we help, we jointly conduct business. But they do not disseminate operational information, because it is prohibited by law. Do not give access to the bases, because they can be punished. We communicate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs within the framework of a consultation, share experience and suggest them how and what to do better. You have to buy bases online. We have much more of them than the police.

So you help the police?
- Well, yes. In principle, we were originally created for this. To create a bridge between civilians and the police. To have more confidence in them.
— How wide are your possibilities in investigations?
— Not how much. There is only a circle of responsibilities, but there are no opportunities. We can apply to the authorities with a request for information, but we will always be denied. We are like civilians, only with a license. Your license only allows you to advertise as a private detective. A civilian can perform both surveillance and video recording; this is not prohibited by law. Here there is a line with article 137 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on violation of the secrets of personal life. But personal life arises when you go to your home. If a drone flies through your window, then yes. There is a violation of the law here.
“Private life arises when you enter your home. If a drone flies through your window, then yes. This is breaking the law."
Denis Iskakov, private detective
I conducted a market analysis in the Sverdlovsk region. About 80 organizations provide private detective services. On what powers - it is not clear. These are all sorts of CHOPs. In fact, five people with a license work: in Kamensk-Uralsky, Nizhny Tagil, Aramil, and there is also a guy who specializes in searching for cars. Well, I'm the only one who works in a criminal case.
- What kind of things do you especially like?
I like solving murders. The murder of Gerasimova with dismemberment in Nizhny Tagil. The Investigative Committee investigated for a whole year and found nothing. They chalked it up to suicide. Just a month ago, I finished the case of the murder of a girl who allegedly hanged herself, and she was an investigator, she even taught at the law academy. She took nothing and committed suicide. They also investigated for a year, they didn’t really find anything. The Investigative Committee did not pay attention to many significant factors in the case. Bruises, drag marks, strangulation angle, convicted partner. I gave my opinion to the client - my mother. There she already analyzes these factors with a lawyer. They pick up a case from the archive, investigate it again.
- That is, on the basis of your conclusion, investigative actions can be resumed?
- Certainly. I find shortcomings, contradictions in the materials of the case, in explanations, testimonies. When I went to kill as an employee, I could immediately understand whether it was murder or not. I see the little things. I don't need to study any procedural rules. I immediately see signs of a struggle, beatings, as that girl had. I make a conclusion, and then they are already looking at the court.
- What is the most difficult thing in the profession?
- Nothing is difficult for me. The only thing is that you need to have an extraordinary train of thought. If you think in a stereotyped way, you won't get anywhere. Here it is necessary to notice subtleties, details, identify them and conduct additional examinations in order to prove something.
— Are the services of a private detective popular in Yekaterinburg?
— I don't know, but there is a lot of work anyway. People often do not know that private detectives exist at all, and do not understand how useful we can be at all. If we start working with lawyers in a civil or criminal case, there is a counterweight to the authorities. The state has all the means: operatives, investigators, they fully investigate the case in order to accuse a person. On the part of the defense, only one lawyer is obtained, who only at the end gets the opportunity to familiarize himself with the case materials. In a few days he needs to check everything and write a petition to the investigator, and there may be six volumes of materials. Can you imagine how much information he needs to work through? Applications are often simply denied without any justification.
When we work together with a lawyer, he goes about his business, and I investigate as an operative and suggest to the lawyer various violations of operational activities. But I'm not on the defensive side. I have no reason to collect evidence of innocence. I collect everything. If a person is guilty, he must be punished. This is an independent investigation. But defendants and lawyers often apply. And vice versa, the injured party, who is afraid that the swindler will escape responsibility due to the negligence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, also uses our services. I collect the full evidence base, provide the investigator with my conclusion.

A private detective does not have many opportunities for legal surveillance

- What do people most often contact you with?
- Adultery. Spring-autumn, people begin to exacerbate, husbands and wives begin to follow each other. They ask for details of calls, we refuse them, because it is illegal. We limit ourselves to external observation when we follow the target from the car. There are results from this. Parents often turn to monitor their children to see if they use drugs or plan something illegal. We prevent crime.
Has anyone noticed surveillance?
- Not. The most important thing in "outdoor" is not to sleep. If a person begins to be cautious, it is better to let him go and use technical means. A sensor for a car or a GPS tracker will be thrown into the bag by the husband himself.
What things are you giving up?
- I refuse to collect information when the client cannot really explain why he needs it. That is, if external surveillance is requested allegedly for a mistress, but in fact she is not a mistress. We will know about it. I immediately warn the client that if these are some illegal purposes, then I will contact the police. I do not agree to be an accomplice in crime.
I also refuse to do what is boring. Here is a girl, she is 21, provides sex services. Her parents contacted us to find out if this was the case. What is there to find out? Or a person left for a sect - a Hare Krishna, believes in something of his own, well, let him believe. Fool, what to say? We do not undertake to forcibly take someone out of there.
How do you recruit staff for your agency? What should be the main characteristic of applicants?
- The most important thing is that a person should be a serviceman in operational units. A person who does not have experience of operational experience neither knows how to conduct surveillance, nor does he possess an analytical mindset. It is also important that he was not judged, that there were no inclinations to commit crimes. As you can see, the information is different. It can be used both for good and for evil. That is, a person must be crystal clear and meet moral principles and requirements.
How do your relatives feel about your profession?
- And all my relatives are employees. On the contrary, they are glad that I left the authorities, I have a quiet life and I can communicate with my child, with my family, and do not sit in the office until late. I can work at home, attend to my personal affairs and at the same time serve and help people.

“At the request of the customer, I even attended a meeting of swingers”: how a private detective works in Yekaterinburg.​

We learned how often the Urals change and what a private detective has to face.

How do private detectives work and what are they most often asked for?

The work of a private detective seems to us something serial, not real. Few of us would think of turning to the modern Sherlock for help - all the more, most likely, he is now investigating another murder with a magnifying glass in his hands. In fact, everything is not so. Private investigators do exist and can actually help you. How they do it and how much it costs, we were told by a man who devoted himself to private investigation almost all his life. He asked us not to take pictures of him or mention his name, simply because it might interfere with his future work. Nevertheless, he gave us many interesting details.

- If I wanted to quit everything and become a private detective right tomorrow, what would I need to do for this?
- You won't be able to. To do this, you need to serve in the authorities for at least five years. To have positive characteristics in the service, not to be dismissed from the service. This is to get a license. It is desirable to have a higher legal education.
What qualities should I have?
- A detective is an additional shoulder in some unfortunate life situation. A detective should be [treated] like a lawyer - it's the same thing. We work with many lawyers - if you need to reveal an alibi, some new, hidden things. Many problems lie deep, not in plain sight. It is not proper for a lawyer to do this, simply because he is not a detective. A detective is more of a friend, so we cannot do without sincerity in our business. This is what I would prioritize.

A private detective organized his office right in the apartment

- When we agreed on an interview, you talked about your great employment. Do you really have that many clients?
- We have a certain seasonality. There is not much work in the summer, because people are busy with gardens, recreation, and everyday problems. Not up to detectives - warmth, flowers, mushrooms. In September, fruitful work begins. People come, sit down at their desks, take their children to school. Gone are the holidays, on which someone managed to fool around. Then everything calms down again, and by the New Year people again have problems, and very many of them. Holidays, I want to solve all the problems in the current year, which is ending. After the New Year, the work continues, because during the holidays, many people messed up. Well, February 23 and March 8 are great days for private detectives. Men rush into all serious, women - similarly.
- That is, most often people ask to check whether the other half is cheating on them or not?
- This is one of the most frequently asked questions. The second is assistance in criminal cases.
- If I come to you and say that, for example, I'm tired of the boss and I need compromising evidence on him, will you take it?
- Bosses are always pissed off, you are not the first to come with such a question. We can collect a dossier on a person - his negative aspects can be reflected there. For example, he is a drinker, or visits a strip club, or has a mistress. If you want to blackmail him with this, then this is your right - you paid money for it. We are not breaking the law here.

The most common reason to contact a detective is suspicion of treason.

- What percentage of those who ask you to check the other half for fidelity, in the end turns out to be right and they really cheat on him?
- Percent 75. This is at least, maybe 80. Because suspicions, as a rule, are based on something. And when a client comes, we understand that he has good pseudo-reasons. For example, the husband began to come home late, did not deliver money, put a password on the phone, smells, lipstick. It's objective.
“How much money will you ask me for a dossier per person?”
- I will not talk about money, simply because everything is very individual, all people are different - blue, red.
- But it's tens of thousands of rubles?
- It's about ten thousand rubles. Everything is very personal - it all depends on who you need to collect a dossier on. People practically do not use public transport, they drive private cars - it is much more difficult to observe such people.
- On average, how long does it take to complete a dossier on a person if he is not a high-ranking official with a bunch of security guards?
- First you need to understand who your client is and what question he came with. Even if he is just some kind of leader, top manager, in business meetings and trips, or an ordinary washing machine repairman, he constantly moves around the city, you need to figure out where he is now. On average, about two weeks.

In the office of a private detective, there are also such evidence - a pack of sugar and a ruler

- If we talk about stars and high-ranking people - are there many of them among your clients? Do they also deal with treason?
- Lot. But I won't say what they're dealing with. Even without names, I can't say.
- Tell us the technology - how do you do it? Do you use databases on the Internet, monitor social networks or just follow people?
— This is a banal observation. In 90 percent of cases. Nothing can replace the normal human eye. A simple meeting of some man with some woman in a diner may or may not be a normal business conversation. This is visible to the human eye. And social networks are a bluff, you can write anything there, and it will not mean anything. You have to look at a person to understand what he is like.
— The work of a private detective is perceived by many as the work of a certain Sherlock Holmes, who uses the method of deduction and analyzes. Does this look like the truth?
- Definitely. No fluff at all. Often we consider those algorithms that a person cannot even think about. It is important to look for: who can benefit from it. The main approach is originality. And when this totality is revealed, then many secrets are revealed.

With the help of a telescope, a private detective often monitors his victims. And he loves to look at the stars

- Have you been approached in high-profile criminal cases that have taken place in Yekaterinburg recently? The disappearance of Ksenia Katorgina or the Uktus shooter?
- Repeatedly. I can tell one story. If you remember a very noisy case about a man who was walking with a child from a kindergarten, they played astronauts, and the child fell. The story reached Malakhov, the situation is completely extraordinary. I have my unequivocal opinion - this man is innocent. But he was imprisoned (Alexander Moshkin received nine years in a strict regime colony. - Note. ed. ). Although even the neighbors I interviewed said that this game is their favorite pastime. He just drank and didn't catch the boy. People came running who thought that he was beating a child. But he loved his son very much, although the investigation considered otherwise.

According to a private detective, the father was innocent in that high-profile story
Let's imagine a situation where a client asks you to follow her husband. You discover that he is indeed cheating on her. But at the same time he meets with a 15-year-old girl. Will you contact the police?
We don't make any decisions. If such a fact is found out in the work, and it happened, then we inform the client about this and urge him to contact the police. We ourselves do not have the right to decide for the client. He must fulfill his civic duty himself.
- Tell us about the most strange, unusual or funny story from your practice? Which you will remember for the rest of your life.
There is definitely no laughter in my work. Because people come with their own problems, and I will never laugh at that. Once I got into a very unpleasant situation, strange.
“At the request of the customer, I was forced to participate in an event in which the client's husband participated. And it turned out to be a swinger community.”
private detective
I did the work, but did not participate in it all, because in their community for the first time you can refuse and just be a witness. But they looked at me askance. You see, there is still humor.
In 2017, we interviewed a girl - a private detective. She told us about the difficulties of her work.

What the police can't handle, a private detective for hire takes on

Denis has over 15 years of detective work experience

A private detective in Russia is different from the character of a noir film of the 50s. No shabby raincoats, revolvers in a holster and chronic alcoholism - in our realities everything is more prosaic. There is also no talk of extended powers: no one will allow them to break through the location of the phone or conduct covert filming in the house.
Without even a share of the resources that the police have, a private detective may well conduct full-fledged investigations himself: point out errors in the investigation, act on the side of the defense, or even help the police. It's not about the possibilities, but about the natural talent to seek information.


Meet Denis Iskakov, a private detective with over 15 years of experience. We talked with him about this mysterious profession, which usually receives little attention.
- How did you get into this profession?
— I was a criminal police officer. When he left the authorities, he first underwent training as a detective, applied for a license: that he was not convicted and that he resigned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs with good characteristics. Started working as a private detective. Then, when there was a lot of work, when the staff needed to be developed, I began to hire employees. Organized the agency in this way.
- That is, to be a private detective, you need to have experience in the criminal investigation department?
- Previously, it was a prerequisite - at least three years of operational experience. Not investigative, not precinct, namely operational experience. Now it's been simplified. A simple civilian with a higher education can get a detective license or take training to get a diploma stating that you have completed the courses.
I don't know what they teach there. They're just checking their knowledge of the law. It is nonsense. The training should be conducted by old people who at least worked in the authorities, and then worked as detectives so that the students understand the profession from all sides.
- Why did you decide to leave the authorities and engage in private investigations?
- I'm glad to serve, but it's sickening to serve.

People often do not understand how a private detective works

Do you remember your first assignment?
- It is unlikely. I don't even remember, it was too long ago. Maybe it was necessary to find a person - I then specialized more in this.
- And how to find a person?
Let's say there is a phone number. The phone is registered to you. If not on you, then all the same, it is connected to some online banks in your name. Accordingly, through them you can get your data. When there is data, all information about you can be found, including any other phones you have ever used. In addition, when filling out an application for a loan, you also leave a phone number and place of work. All this can be known. With such information, finding a person is not a problem.
- Do you have informants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
- An informant can only be a civilian. There are police officers whom we help, we jointly conduct business. But they do not disseminate operational information, because it is prohibited by law. Do not give access to the bases, because they can be punished. We communicate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs within the framework of a consultation, share experience and suggest them how and what to do better. You have to buy bases online. We have much more of them than the police.

So you help the police?
- Well, yes. In principle, we were originally created for this. To create a bridge between civilians and the police. To have more confidence in them.
— How wide are your possibilities in investigations?
— Not how much. There is only a circle of responsibilities, but there are no opportunities. We can apply to the authorities with a request for information, but we will always be denied. We are like civilians, only with a license. Your license only allows you to advertise as a private detective. A civilian can perform both surveillance and video recording; this is not prohibited by law. Here there is a line with article 137 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on violation of the secrets of personal life. But personal life arises when you go to your home. If a drone flies through your window, then yes. There is a violation of the law here.
“Private life arises when you enter your home. If a drone flies through your window, then yes. This is breaking the law."
Denis Iskakov, private detective
I conducted a market analysis in the Sverdlovsk region. About 80 organizations provide private detective services. On what powers - it is not clear. These are all sorts of CHOPs. In fact, five people with a license work: in Kamensk-Uralsky, Nizhny Tagil, Aramil, and there is also a guy who specializes in searching for cars. Well, I'm the only one who works in a criminal case.
- What kind of things do you especially like?
I like solving murders. The murder of Gerasimova with dismemberment in Nizhny Tagil. The Investigative Committee investigated for a whole year and found nothing. They chalked it up to suicide. Just a month ago, I finished the case of the murder of a girl who allegedly hanged herself, and she was an investigator, she even taught at the law academy. She took nothing and committed suicide. They also investigated for a year, they didn’t really find anything. The Investigative Committee did not pay attention to many significant factors in the case. Bruises, drag marks, strangulation angle, convicted partner. I gave my opinion to the client - my mother. There she already analyzes these factors with a lawyer. They pick up a case from the archive, investigate it again.
- That is, on the basis of your conclusion, investigative actions can be resumed?
- Certainly. I find shortcomings, contradictions in the materials of the case, in explanations, testimonies. When I went to kill as an employee, I could immediately understand whether it was murder or not. I see the little things. I don't need to study any procedural rules. I immediately see signs of a struggle, beatings, as that girl had. I make a conclusion, and then they are already looking at the court.
- What is the most difficult thing in the profession?
- Nothing is difficult for me. The only thing is that you need to have an extraordinary train of thought. If you think in a stereotyped way, you won't get anywhere. Here it is necessary to notice subtleties, details, identify them and conduct additional examinations in order to prove something.
— Are the services of a private detective popular in Yekaterinburg?
— I don't know, but there is a lot of work anyway. People often do not know that private detectives exist at all, and do not understand how useful we can be at all. If we start working with lawyers in a civil or criminal case, there is a counterweight to the authorities. The state has all the means: operatives, investigators, they fully investigate the case in order to accuse a person. On the part of the defense, only one lawyer is obtained, who only at the end gets the opportunity to familiarize himself with the case materials. In a few days he needs to check everything and write a petition to the investigator, and there may be six volumes of materials. Can you imagine how much information he needs to work through? Applications are often simply denied without any justification.
When we work together with a lawyer, he goes about his business, and I investigate as an operative and suggest to the lawyer various violations of operational activities. But I'm not on the defensive side. I have no reason to collect evidence of innocence. I collect everything. If a person is guilty, he must be punished. This is an independent investigation. But defendants and lawyers often apply. And vice versa, the injured party, who is afraid that the swindler will escape responsibility due to the negligence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, also uses our services. I collect the full evidence base, provide the investigator with my conclusion.

A private detective does not have many opportunities for legal surveillance

- What do people most often contact you with?
- Adultery. Spring-autumn, people begin to exacerbate, husbands and wives begin to follow each other. They ask for details of calls, we refuse them, because it is illegal. We limit ourselves to external observation when we follow the target from the car. There are results from this. Parents often turn to monitor their children to see if they use drugs or plan something illegal. We prevent crime.
Has anyone noticed surveillance?
- Not. The most important thing in "outdoor" is not to sleep. If a person begins to be cautious, it is better to let him go and use technical means. A sensor for a car or a GPS tracker will be thrown into the bag by the husband himself.
What things are you giving up?
- I refuse to collect information when the client cannot really explain why he needs it. That is, if external surveillance is requested allegedly for a mistress, but in fact she is not a mistress. We will know about it. I immediately warn the client that if these are some illegal purposes, then I will contact the police. I do not agree to be an accomplice in crime.
I also refuse to do what is boring. Here is a girl, she is 21, provides sex services. Her parents contacted us to find out if this was the case. What is there to find out? Or a person left for a sect - a Hare Krishna, believes in something of his own, well, let him believe. Fool, what to say? We do not undertake to forcibly take someone out of there.
How do you recruit staff for your agency? What should be the main characteristic of applicants?
- The most important thing is that a person should be a serviceman in operational units. A person who does not have experience of operational experience neither knows how to conduct surveillance, nor does he possess an analytical mindset. It is also important that he was not judged, that there were no inclinations to commit crimes. As you can see, the information is different. It can be used both for good and for evil. That is, a person must be crystal clear and meet moral principles and requirements.
How do your relatives feel about your profession?
- And all my relatives are employees. On the contrary, they are glad that I left the authorities, I have a quiet life and I can communicate with my child, with my family, and do not sit in the office until late. I can work at home, attend to my personal affairs and at the same time serve and help people.

“They change everything”: a private detective from Yekaterinburg checks other people's husbands for fidelity.​

A pretty girl can ingratiate herself with you in five days and find out all your secrets.

The girl asked not to photograph her full face and change her name so that those she follows would not recognize her

At the age of 25, Alexandra from Yekaterinburg (name changed at the request of the heroine of the publication) realized that she was tired of working as an administrator in a nightclub, and decided to become a private detective. It's as simple as that - why not? I called all the detective agencies in the city and went to interviews. She says that she was invited there “to joke”: the girl had neither experience nor connections. But there were female cunning, curiosity and the ability to win over people. Since then, 5 years have passed - Alexandra is successfully working as a detective and is not going to stop. About what she has to face at work, the girl told in an interview with E1.RU.

- Officially, about a couple of dozen detective agencies are registered in Yekaterinburg. Only people with a license can engage in this activity - those who have served in the authorities and passed the test. But there are additional services that do not require licenses, and I, as an assistant detective, deal with them.
- What was your first assignment?
- When I first came to the agency, I didn’t know anything about this activity at all. But I say at the interview: “You probably have things that need girlish help. To meet a man, to learn something. After all, you are all men, you won’t be able to!”, They: “Well, yes, it happens with us ...” My first business was just connected with this. The client asked to establish whether her son takes drugs. And the owner of the agency is a 35-year-old man. How will he know this, how will he approach an 18-year-old boy? Well, not at all! And I immediately say: “Give me your last name, first name, now I will meet him on VKontakte, go on a date and find out everything. It's simple!" And so it was. The whole task took me five days. It was easy and interesting. I think it's in every girl's genes. It turned out that the boy actually used drugs, and even managed to find those from whom he bought them and hand them over.

Alexandra is a young pretty girl who can find out all the information that cheating husbands hide

— What else do you do? What requests are made?
- Most detectives are engaged in pre-trial collection of information, lawyers turn to them with a request to find out something. Serious agencies solve big crimes for which the police may not have the resources, time, or something else. Interested people are willing to pay big money.
— And how much does it cost?
- To find out whether the boy uses drugs or not, his mother cost 50 thousand rubles for a week of work. Constant monitoring costs from about 12 thousand per day. There are appeals that are resolved in one evening, one day or one night. It's about who does what. I am interested in the social sphere, everyday affairs - to establish the fidelity or infidelity of a partner, the location of a person and something like that.
Is this not an invasion of privacy?
- We do not go beyond the law, for any invasion of privacy can attract. But if you meet a person, he himself tells you everything, then this is another matter. You just need to organize the moment of this acquaintance. Therefore, any unfaithful person runs the risk of running into a pretty girl or a handsome man who will provoke and test him.

During the interview, the private detective asked to shoot her only from the side or from the back.

Tell us a little about the process. How does this happen?
- Once a man approached us, who suspected that his wife had an affair with her fitness instructor, asked to find out if they had any connection. We parked in front of the fitness center, waited for her to come out to see if they would have any contacts or not. So we watched for several days, but we didn’t see anything like that, she went out alone, got into the car and left. But the husband still had solid suspicions. Then we literally settled in the instructor's yard, watched what was happening there for a month. Nothing too.
In the end, the woman asked her husband to go to a party with her girlfriends. We booked a table in the same restaurant, sat next to their company for two hours, drank cocktails, everything was decent ... And at some point this woman just takes off, grabs a fur coat in the wardrobe and runs out into the street. We also jumped out of our seats, ran after her and saw how she got into the car to this instructor. We followed them through the city at night and saw that they were coming to his house. It was all very fast, we did not have time to fix anything.
We call our husband, we say: “You wanted to get information - your wife is now at home with a fitness instructor. If you want - come, sort it out! ”, But the man said that this was enough for him, he would not go anywhere, he only asked to take a picture of them together. When they left the entrance, there was no choice but to simply photograph them head-on. I sat in the car, pointed the phone at them, and kept my foot on the gas pedal. About three meters away they saw me, stood up as if rooted to the spot, and I took them off and quickly left.
- Shooting is also not considered an invasion of privacy?
- You can take pictures of anyone on the street, it's not forbidden.
- And the installation of some kind of bugs or video cameras in an apartment or car - was it like that?
- It happened, and it is legal if they are installed by the owner of the premises or vehicle. For example, there is a large selection of GPS trackers that can be put in cars. This is a small box that can be attached to the body, for example, on the bottom. Some detectives use them to keep track of where their "target" is.

While observing the “object”, Alexandra can spend the whole day in the car in the yard

How to make sure that you are not noticed?
- Firstly, we are very careful, and secondly, the city is large, there are a lot of people, a person does not notice what is happening around. He is busy with his affairs and thoughts, especially if he does something not according to his conscience. There is subtle psychology here, my former boss taught me how to behave, what to pay attention to. But I say it again - it’s easier for girls, it’s in our blood. There are cases when there is a collection of information about a person for six months. During this time, we already know everything about him: what time he leaves the house, what store he goes to, what he drinks, all his friends - but the person does not notice anything. The city is big, there are a lot of people, clothes change. We keep our distance on the road, and there is a lot of traffic.
- Have there been cases when someone noticed surveillance?
“Once we were approached by a woman who suspected her husband of infidelity. They are both non-Russian, their mentality was incomprehensible to us, and we both simply underestimated them. We suspect that she handed us over to him herself in order not to pay money. After three days of observation, he approached my car, knocked on the window, and began to speak aggressively: “Why are you following me, what are you watching?” And at that moment I saw him with peripheral vision, but I didn’t even look at him point-blank, I was sitting on the phone. Of course, I pretended not to understand. His wife did not pay us later, did not pick up the phone.

Private detective tools - camera and voice recorder in the phone

— And what is the most difficult?
- For example, it can be difficult to figure out how to get to know a man, from whom you then need to get information. There may be a thousand options. To the point that you walk along the sidewalk next to him, stumble, fall, drop your phone, ask for help, start a conversation ... Or there was a case when a man was walking in the park and talking to someone on the phone, and I no longer knew that come up with to get his attention. In the end, she just approached him directly, interrupted him and asked him to take a picture of me with some kind of tree. He says: “Yes, yes, of course!”, At this moment I quietly turn off the phone and say: “Oh, how is it, the phone has landed! Could you take a picture with yours and send it to me? ”, He agrees, I dictate the number to him, and then we just start a correspondence. There are many such cases. It is interesting. In this job, I don't know where I will end up tomorrow - in a restaurant, a park, a playground, or even in another country.
What kind of things are you giving up?
- When there is some crime. Once a man from Perm turned to us and asked to observe the person, but with a small caveat: the person is aggressive, carries edged weapons with him, and if surveillance is detected, he may react inadequately. They called and said: “Do you have strong young people?”, We took a break, checked everything, and it turned out that the potential customer himself was judged on serious articles. There is some kind of crime - we did not undertake it.

Outright crime detectives do not take

Is it true that all information about a person can be found in open sources?
- As for the girls who like to post everything on social networks, put geotags, - yes. Up to the point that we once watched the girl, and she suddenly changed her place of residence. We figured out her new apartment from photos on VKontakte and Instagram.
“Nothing to hide at all!
- Yes, and all this, of course, affects life. My colleagues just have a paranoid syndrome, they worry about everything. For example, we meet in a cafe with clients, discussing business, and suddenly a colleague notices that a man has been standing on the second floor for a long time and does not go anywhere: “Suddenly he is firing at us?” Paranoia begins, for an ordinary person, this, of course, is very strange. And when I called one of the agencies to get a job, its owner immediately told me: “No, no, we don’t need anyone!”, And the next day he called back and invited me for an interview. As he later told me, he checked me to see if I was a figurehead, who I was.

All information about a person can be found in open sources

How did your parents and friends react to you doing this?
- My young man was against me constantly engaging in this activity. We have dangerous assignments - for example, to meet someone at Uralmash at 11 pm. Therefore, I switched to more “light” tasks - when it is necessary to collect information, to make the person tell something himself. And my mother was no stranger to it - all sorts of dangerous things constantly happen to me. For example, when I worked as an administrator in a club, we held rock concerts and often attracted the attention of law enforcement. The Civil Defense group was suspected of extremism, during the concert OMON officers came, detained everyone, took them to the department, and interrogated them for 2.5 hours. I called my mother: “We were detained here at work until they let us go. I'm in the department, I'll be home later."
- Have any famous people contacted you?
Yes, and we are still working on them. This is also a betrayal, and completely meaningless. A person cheats, but completely without emotion, it is not clear why he needs it. We just take our heads: “Lord, why are you doing this? Why?"
"Won't you tell me who it is?"

- Not. But he is a very big man. In general, when you look at it all, it seems that everything is being changed. They come up with a million tricks that look true, but in reality the person is lying. This is a little disappointing. But I know for sure that my young man is not deceiving me.

What the police can't handle, a private detective for hire takes on

Denis has over 15 years of detective work experience

A private detective in Russia is different from the character of a noir film of the 50s. No shabby raincoats, revolvers in a holster and chronic alcoholism - in our realities everything is more prosaic. There is no talk of extended powers either: no one will allow them to break through the location of the phone or conduct covert filming in the house.
Without even a share of the resources that the police have, a private detective may well conduct full-fledged investigations himself: point out errors in the investigation, act on the side of the defense, or even help the police. It's not about the possibilities, but about the natural talent to seek information.


Meet Denis Iskakov, a private detective with over 15 years of experience. We talked with him about this mysterious profession, which usually receives little attention.
- How did you get into this profession?
— I was a criminal police officer. When he left the authorities, he first underwent training as a detective, applied for a license: that he was not convicted and that he resigned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs with good characteristics. Started working as a private detective. Then, when there was a lot of work, when the staff needed to be developed, I began to hire employees. Organized the agency in this way.
- That is, to be a private detective, you need to have experience in the criminal investigation department?
- Previously, it was a prerequisite - at least three years of operational experience. Not investigative, not precinct, namely operational experience. Now it's been simplified. A simple civilian with a higher education can get a detective license or take training to get a diploma stating that you have completed the courses.
I don't know what they teach there. They're just checking their knowledge of the law. It is nonsense. The training should be conducted by old people who at least worked in the authorities, and then worked as detectives so that the students understand the profession from all sides.
- Why did you decide to leave the authorities and engage in private investigations?
- I'm glad to serve, but it's sickening to serve.

People often do not understand how a private detective works

Do you remember your first assignment?
- It is unlikely. I don't even remember, it was too long ago. Maybe it was necessary to find a person - I then specialized more in this.
- And how to find a person?
Let's say there is a phone number. The phone is registered to you. If not on you, then all the same, it is connected to some online banks in your name. Accordingly, through them you can get your data. When there is data, all information about you can be found, including any other phones you have ever used. In addition, when filling out an application for a loan, you also leave a phone number and place of work. All this can be known. With such information, finding a person is not a problem.
- Do you have informants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
- An informant can only be a civilian. There are police officers whom we help, we jointly conduct business. But they do not disseminate operational information, because it is prohibited by law. Do not give access to the bases, because they can be punished. We communicate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs within the framework of a consultation, share experience and suggest them how and what to do better. You have to buy bases online. We have much more of them than the police.

So you help the police?
- Well, yes. In principle, we were originally created for this. To create a bridge between civilians and the police. To have more confidence in them.
— How wide are your possibilities in investigations?
— Not how much. There is only a circle of responsibilities, but there are no opportunities. We can apply to the authorities with a request for information, but we will always be denied. We are like civilians, only with a license. Your license only allows you to advertise as a private detective. A civilian can perform both surveillance and video recording; this is not prohibited by law. Here there is a line with article 137 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on violation of the secrets of personal life. But personal life arises when you go to your home. If a drone flies through your window, then yes. There is a violation of the law here.
“Private life arises when you enter your home. If a drone flies through your window, then yes. This is breaking the law."
Denis Iskakov, private detective
I conducted a market analysis in the Sverdlovsk region. About 80 organizations provide private detective services. On what powers - it is not clear. These are all sorts of CHOPs. In fact, five people with a license work: in Kamensk-Uralsky, Nizhny Tagil, Aramil, and there is also a guy who specializes in searching for cars. Well, I'm the only one who works in a criminal case.
- What kind of things do you especially like?
I like solving murders. The murder of Gerasimova with dismemberment in Nizhny Tagil. The Investigative Committee investigated for a whole year and found nothing. They chalked it up to suicide. Just a month ago, I finished the case of the murder of a girl who allegedly hanged herself, and she was an investigator, she even taught at the law academy. She took nothing and committed suicide.

I immediately see signs of a struggle, beatings, as that girl had. I make a conclusion, and then they are already looking at the court.
