Attempt on Chubais

In March 2005, Colonel GRU Vladimir Kvachkov was accused of attempted assassination of A. Chubais and was sent to the Matrosskaya Tishina detention center. In June 2008, the Moscow Regional Court, Vladimir Vasilievich was acquitted. The jury decided that there was no evidence of Kvachkov's guilt. In addition to him, his supporters - A. Naidenov, R. Yashin and some military airborne troops - were also justified.

The day after the acquittal Kvachkov spoke on the radio "Echo of Moscow". He directly called Chubais a national traitor. And he declared that Russia was occupied by Jews, and this is the basis of criminal groups. As a result, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation sent a request to check Kvachkov's statements, since in his words there were clearly manifestations of extremism, and at the same time to review the case of the attempt.

In August, the petition of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia was granted, the case of Vladimir Vasilievich went to a new trial. In October, the Moscow Regional Court held hearings.

Preparation for the military mutiny "Carpet track"

Despite the fact that Kvachkov calls actions against himself on the part of the authorities by repressions, there are still grounds for his accusations. As established by the investigation, the retired colonel was engaged in organizing a full-scale military mutiny.

Sitting in his Moscow apartment, Vladimir Kvachkov planned to seize the cities of Ivanovo and Vladimir, block all roads leading to Moscow, and on behalf of the people to put forward a demand for a Kremlin change of power, which he allegedly considered corrupt and untenable.

The first to arrive under the cities of the military in the guise of fishermen and hunters, to break three camps. Within a few days other military groups had to join them, also getting unnoticed, under the camouflage of tourists. They were to deliver dry rations, tents, sappers' blades and military Primus stoves to the camps.

The collection in temporary camps was scheduled for July 20-24, 2010. And from 24 to 25 the rebels had to capture the above-mentioned cities. First, the Kovrov Tank Division (training), warehouses with a rocket artillery arsenal. Then on armored vehicles to proceed first to Vladimir, and then to Ivanovo. Initially, Colonel Vladimir Kvachkov planned to seize the police and FSB buildings, then - all military units. Report on "comprador power" was expected through the media.

The failure of the insurrection

In one of his apartments Kvachkov installed a device to create radio interference, to exclude wiretapping. He was sure that after the accusation of the attempt on Chubais is under the close attention of the authorities. Therefore, the preparation for the insurgency was very cautious.

In this apartment meetings were held with the leaders of the "People's Militia" groups (shortly NOMP) and commanders of military groups. He collected data about how many people would stand under the gun, issued instructions.

After the meetings Kvachkov brought in his computer callsigns. Issued them a new SIM for cellular, for the transfer of orders during the designated operation. Those who were supposed to be responsible for transport received mobile phones themselves. After the disclosure of the planned rebellion in the apartment Kvachkova was searched. In his computer were found prepared plans, maps and about 30 callsigning commanders, whose military groups consisted of 15-25 militiamen.

Special services learned about the insurgency and decided to seize imaginary fishermen and hunters at the beginning of the operation, before the approach of the main forces with weapons. As a result, the soldiers of "Alpha" in the early morning took all the fake fishermen and fake hunters. Thus, the operation "Carpet track" ended without even beginning.

Kvachkov also had a top-secret plan "B" prepared for the case of the failure of the first. But the special services arrested him, placing him in Lefortovo prison.

The second criminal case

As a result, after the Supreme Court delivered an acquittal in the Chubais case on December 22, 2010, the next day Vladimir Kvachkov was again arrested. This time for organizing a military mutiny. Vladimir Vasilievich was detained by FSB officers and escorted to the Lefortovo court.

According to Kvachkov himself, he was not involved in this, and the accusation was based only on the testimony of Peter Galkin, leader of one of the branches of the "People's Militia". And he, in turn, informed the FSB about the creation of combat detachments for the overthrow of power in the Kremlin. Kvachkov urged the court that Galkin and his friends just went to forest temporary camps to practice shooting.

Nevertheless, Kvachkov's guilt was fully proved, and on 8 February 2013 the Moscow City Court sentenced him to 13 years in prison with a term of imprisonment in a strict regime colony. Also, many of his associates suffered deserved punishment. In the summer of the same year, the Supreme Court lowered Kvachkov's sentence to eight years. But in 2014, he violated the rules of detention in isolation, trying to talk on the mobile, and the punishment was again increased by 9 months. In 2015, Vladimir Vasilievich had the opportunity to apply for an UDO. But because of repeated violations of the regime, on the contrary, he toughened his detention in prison.

Double life

Two years that Vladimir Kvachkov roamed free (between imprisonment in prison), he traveled a lot around the country, creating groups of NOMP. He managed to do this in more than 40 Russian regions. Vladimir Vasilyevich started a guerrilla war against the government and believed that he was acting in the rear. I had to lead a double life of the underground.

He remembers hundreds of passwords and callsigns, ready at the signal to start an uprising and leave to the agreed place of operation. Kvachkov even made up for himself federal registers, in which there are people who "harmed the security and independence of Russia" and officers who refused to comply with the "orders of the new government" (and therefore traitors to the motherland).
