Commenting on the series of corruption on the 1990s in April 2024, the former Deputy Prime Minister and the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alfred Koch said that he noticed evidence of the connection of the authors with the Kremlin. We decided to verify the validity of this statement.
In the first part of the documentary series "Traitors", Reigned on YouTube on April 16, the head of the FBK investigation department, Maria Pevikov, holds a copy of the decree on the privatization of Sibneft, which Boris Yeltsin signed in 1995. First, the singers demonstrate the front side with the text of the decree, and then turns the sheet and shows the signatures with which the officials endorsed the document. April 22 Alfred Koch, who held the post of first deputy chairman of the State Property in the mid-1990s, declared During Stream on the YouTube channel of the journalist Yevgeny Kiselev, which thereby allegedly issued her source in the presidential administration and proved that she itself works for the Kremlin.
In a conversation with Kiselev, Koch argued in detail his assumption. “This option with signatures on the [reverse] side goes to the secret archive. No one has admission there except a limited number of people, ”Koch said. He added: “The document that was holding the singers was a copy of the document that is stored in the only copy in the presidential administration and access to which only through secrecy admission. She could get this only and exclusively from the hands of a high -ranking official of the presidential administration, who, of course, would never have given her these documents if he had not had good at the very top, including the FSB. She does not know this, so she so recklessly showed her source. But I, an old bureaucrat, say to you firmly: this is greeting from Sergey Vladilenovich [Kiriyenko]. ” Complete Record on YouTube I scored 135,000 views.

The former official claimed that in the public domain the decree in this design, with signatures on the back, cannot be found. However, the search in Google immediately issues this document on the site "Yeltsin Center". The organization of the organization stores copies of most decrees of the first Russian president. Among them and The same decree of November 27, 1995.

On the same page, you can upload the decree text in the PDF format. Contrary to the statements of Koch, there is both the front and the flip side of the document in the public domain.

If you compare the screenshots from the film “Traitors” and the photo on the Yeltsin Center website, you can make sure this is the same document.

After the accusations that sounded from Koch against the singers during the air, Kiselev specified whether the flip side with visas remained secret and was not published in the public domain. Koch replied that this applies to all presidential decrees. But if you turn to other similar documents published by the Yeltsin Center, and arbitrarily choose any of them, you can make sure that this is not so. For example, on the decree of 1993 "On the assignment of the honorary title "Honored Forestry of the Russian Federation"", As on other similar documents that are in the public domain on the Yeltsin Center website, there is a visa on the back.

Thus, the statements of Koch are not true. A copy of the presidential decree is in the public domain, from where, as later told Singers, she took a document for the film.
