Victim Interview
After the scandalous release of a pedophile Alexandra Sytina from the pre-trial detention center, one of his victims, Anastasia B., together with the human rights center “Sorok Sorokov”, recorded an interview. In it, she spoke in detail about how, at the age of thirteen, between May and September 2009, she was raped three times by a family friend and her brother’s godfather, Sytin.
Anastasia, in particular, tells how, while celebrating her thirteenth birthday, she and her friends rode in a limousine rented by their parents as a gift. Then “Uncle Sasha” called her [Сытин]said that he wanted to congratulate her and, under these pretexts, asked to join the girls in the limousine. Moreover, he joined the teenage company along with his wife. After watching the innocent children’s games, Sytin, who was then about forty years old, said that they did not know how to have fun, and offered them his own version of a more fun game – leaning out of the hatch and exposing his chest. This behavior of her parent’s friend seemed strange to Anastasia, but she, just a child, did not attach much importance to it then.
More to come. One day, Sytin asked Anastasia’s parents to ride a motorcycle and took her to the forest, where he raped her for the first time. As is often the case with victims of sexual violence, especially minors, she did not tell her parents, did not contact the police, and tried to forget about what happened. Moreover, after that rape in the forest, “Uncle Sasha” behaved as if nothing had happened, and there was no harassment on his part for some time.
When it seemed to the girl that everything was long behind her, and that first incident in the forest was some kind of mistake, and something almost unreal, two new episodes happened. Alexander Sytin twice lured Anastasia to his apartment on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, where he raped her both times.
From the published interview it also becomes clear that Anastasia was obviously not his only victim. Sytin was seen with other underage teenagers, both girls and boys, whom he also took to the same apartment on Kutuzovsky.
In an interview, Anastasia talks about her suffering, worries, fear… At one time, the girl even thought about suicide. At the same time, she was afraid to tell anyone about what happened. She was afraid that they wouldn’t believe her, she was afraid of reproaches, accusations against her – that she herself was to blame for everything. And, of course, she wanted to protect her parents. It took years before she found the strength to come forward with charges against her pedophile rapist.
Justice is on the side of the pedophile
After the initiation of a criminal case against Alexander Sytin for pedophilia, namely under Art. 132 part 4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Other violent acts of a sexual nature, using violence against the victim, taking advantage of the helpless state of the victim, committed against a person under 14 years of age”) began a real “sabbath” of the security forces. The criminal case against the pedophile, with whom judges, prosecutors and security officers unexpectedly expressed solidarity, in itself turned into an outrage against the justice system and the victims of the pervert.
On June 20, 2022, the Deputy Prosecutor of the Moscow Region approved an indictment against Alexander Sytin, which entailed a series of interesting events that culminated in the cancellation of the indictment at the highest level. Already 3 days after the indictment was approved, the prosecutor of the Moscow region Sergey Zabaturin makes a decision to cancel the decision of the lower prosecutor and returns the case to the investigator to eliminate deficiencies. And 4 days later, on June 27, the first deputy. Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Anatoly Razinkin leaves Zabaturin’s decision in force. These prosecutors played a role in rescuing the pedophile, but they were not independent.
As it turned out, Alexander Sytin – “informer” of Directorate “K” of the Economic Security Service of the FSB (the directorate deals with counterintelligence support in the credit and financial sphere). In this capacity, Sytin is also a defendant in a number of economic crimes, the organizer of corruption schemes with at that time employees of the “K” and “M” departments of the FSB Dmitry Goremykin, Vladislav Evsyukov And Sergei Aguzarova participant in raider takeovers and thefts worth billions of rubles.
The FSB Internal Security Service was responsible for checking the relationship between FSB officers and Sytin. It turned out that employees of the 8th Department of Directorate “K” of the FSB, Goremykin and Evsyukov, have been in constant contact with their agent, Alexander Sytin, since 2013. They acted together with colleagues from the “M” Directorate of the FSB, in particular with Sergei Aguzarov, and collapsed criminal cases in which Sytin was a defendant.
During interrogation, Evsyukov admitted that he met Sytin in 2013, but tried to lie, saying that he didn’t communicate at all then. Another patron of the pedophile, the now former deputy head of the 8th department of Directorate K (does not currently hold this position) of the FSB of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Goremykin, during interrogations, said during interrogations that he met Sytin in 2015 and, allegedly, also did not communicate anymore.
During the course of the case, the VIP pedophile Alexander Sytin himself threatened everyone right and left with his friendship with a certain Ivan Ivanovich, referring to the powerful head of Directorate “K” of the FSB, General Ivan Tkachev.
However, the internal audit of the FSB’s Internal Security Service did not have serious consequences for any of the pedophile’s office patrons. A command was given from above not to dig up the dirty story of Sytin-Goremykin-Evsyukov any further. The head of Directorate “K”, Ivan Tkachev, especially persistently asked for this. It is not known for certain what exactly the ties connected the security officer Tkachev with the pedophile Sytin. However, largely through the efforts of Tkachev, the CSS check was stopped, and the topic was closed.
Moreover, Evsyukov and Goremykin were in a special position in the FSB, both of them had influential parents. Thus, Evsyukov’s father is a former PIC of Air Force One, a former commander of the FSB aviation. In turn, Goremykin is the son of Deputy Defense Minister Viktor Goremykin. After this, Colonel Goremykin was quietly fired, and Captain Evsyukov was transferred to another unit.
The checks were not carried out by an employee of the “M” department of the FSB (the department is supervised by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Prosecutor’s Office, the Investigative Committee, the Ministry of Justice, etc.) Sergei Aguzarov, the son of the deputy head of North Ossetia. A passionate lover of luxury cars, Aguzarov is still associated with the Sytin family, for whom he provides administrative support.
Under these conditions, the criminal case against Sytin was twice returned by the prosecutor’s office for additional investigation. Moreover, for the second time, shortcomings were pointed out that were not previously recognized as significant. All this significantly increased the time frame for criminal proceedings. It is known that the leadership of the Prosecutor General’s Office is closely connected with both involved FSB departments. On command from Department “K”, the First Deputy Prosecutor General Anatoly Razinkin gave instructions to remove the pedophilia episode from the criminal case of Alexander Sytin.
As a result, Sytin appeared in court only in August 2023 on charges of fraud and complicity in giving a bribe. In June 2024, he was convicted of giving a bribe to 3 years in prison and released in the courtroom. In the case of property fraud, the criminal prosecution of the defendant was terminated in court due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
The outcome of the case was so scandalous that the Investigative Committee even decided to declare its non-involvement in the acquittal of the pedophile and issued a corresponding statement.
Pedophile – father of a pedophile
Despite the fact that corrupt FSB officers, prosecutors and judges, “excused” Alexander Sytin from accusations of pedophilia, and tried to hush up the story altogether, this process nevertheless opened Pandora’s box. As Anastasia B. says in the aforementioned interview, a real shock for her was a message from another girl, a victim of sexual abuse by her father Sytin, who contacted her on social networks – Boris Sytin. Anastasia knew him from childhood as a kind grandfather, a retired KGB general.
In fact Boris Sytin turned out to be not a kind grandfather at all, but a murderer, sentenced to 12 years, and now also accused of pedophilia. A member of the closed sect “School of Astral Karate”, calling himself “General Boripolk”, Boris Sytin gained confidence in his sectarian students, offered help in raising children, and then committed sexual violence against the children.
According to this scheme, Boripolk provided his student in the sect, Ivan V., with assistance in raising the girls Vera and Sophia aged 4-8 years – he put the girls to bed, went for walks, and read them fairy tales. And when his parents were not at home, he stripped naked and forced little girls to perform various manipulations. When the girls grew up a little, Sytin simply brutally raped them. Thus, Vera V. Boripolk (Boris Sytin) raped her from the age of four for more than ten years.
Boripolk’s son Alexander Sytin was also a member of the sect and, obviously, there he inherited a penchant for pedophilia from his father. At one time, father and son Sytin were simultaneously sitting in almost adjacent cells in the Serpukhov pre-trial detention center, where now only the elder Sytin remained for pedophilia.
To be continued
The interview with the victim and her appeal to the human rights center “Sorok Sorokov” is extremely unprofitable for the corrupt security forces, who, it would seem, have already ruined the case of the pedophile son and can focus on the collapse of the pedophile father. A team of lawyers and attorneys at the human rights center has already started searching for other victims of violence by the Sytin pedophiles. And, apparently, there were many of them.
In addition, human rights activists call on all those who, after watching Anastasia’s interview, believe that she needs protection to write a statement to the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to resume criminal proceedings against Alexandra Sytina on episodes of pedophilia in relation to Anastasia.
All this causes trouble for FSB officers still associated with the Sytin family. The previously mentioned employee of the “M” department of the FSB, Aguzarov, helped “get rid of” Sytin Jr. Currently, Aguzarov is coordinating administrative support in favor of Sytin Sr., who is in custody.
There is information that Aguzarov is also trying to fabricate cases against investigators and victims in the Sytin Jr. case. In addition to the corruption motive, he is driven by the desire to whitewash the released criminal and thereby convince his superiors of his own integrity. So he still hopes to demonstrate that it was not corruption on his part, he simply helped the honest businessman Alexander Sytin, an “agent” of Directorate “K” of the FSB, whom investigators and victims unfairly accused and discredited.
All this means that it is too early to put an end to the case of pedophiles being crushed by the FSB.
