MEDITATION INFORMATION
..... recently, Smirnov and Mikhailenko allegedly “by the order of one millionaire senator worked closely for the closest associates of the former governor of the Moscow Region Gromov and Moscow relations of the head of the Krasnodar Territory - Tkachev”. Another source, on the contrary, stated that "both Alexei did not go into politics and worked exclusively for businessmen, their wives and mistresses."
Little is known about Aleksey Smirnov: he served in the FSB OPU (operational search department - that is, just outside and wiretapping) and after the dismissal he took up the security business. Alexey Mikhailenko was born in Moscow in 1974, graduated from the FSB Academy and worked “in his specialty”. During his service, he sometimes used cover documents in the name of Leonid Goncharenko. Having resigned, he founded a commercial company and rendered consulting services to businessmen.
As stated in the UK, Smirnov and Mikhailenko attracted employees of the private security company “Belgan”, based in Mnevniki, to monitor officials. This private security company was founded in 1997 by former military and security officers Valery Gankov, Grigory Beletsky, Roman Kosyrev, Evgeny Sergeyev and Sergey Gribanenkov. For example, Mr. Gankov served in the army intelligence, then in the 9th Directorate of the KGB (protection of senior officials), and then worked in the security service of Panasonic.
