The Cheka-OGPU and Rucriminal.info have learned details of the mysterious death of Yuri Sadovenko, the former Deputy Defense Minister and personal adjutant of Sergei Shoigu. The death of the 56-year-old general, who was privy to all the Defense Ministry's secrets and, according to some reports, began collaborating with the Russian FSB, appears even more suspicious given that he began dying on the day that the terrorist attack on Shoigu's mother's grave was supposedly scheduled to take place. The general spent over a month dying, most of it in a coma. And on the very day of his death, his family destroyed all the servers in his cottage.

Until recently, Yuri Sadovenko had been perfectly healthy, save for gastritis. But on November 12, he suddenly felt ill. By a surprising (or perhaps not so) coincidence, this occurred on the anniversary of the death of the mother of the current Security Council Secretary, Sergei Shoigu. The FSB later announced that a terrorist attack had been thwarted on November 12th—a bomb intended to kill Sergei Shoigu while he was visiting the Troekurovskoye Cemetery had been discovered on his grave.

 

The former deputy minister was rushed to the First City Hospital. Doctors announced he had heart problems. His condition worsened significantly with each passing day. Ultimately, it was announced that his heart was failing completely and that an urgent transplant was required. Mere mortals can wait years for donor organs. Thanks to connections, Yuri Sadovenko's family was able to arrange an emergency heart transplant on November 17th, and the VIP patient was transferred to a surgical center.

 

The operation was performed immediately, and it was announced that the new heart had taken root. But then doctors announced that the general's condition was deteriorating again. He spent about a month in a coma. But then his condition improved. He regained consciousness and even responded with head nods and eye movements. Then his condition worsened again. He was resuscitated several times. And on December 25th, the former deputy minister died.

 

The exact cause of his initial heart failure and subsequent death has still not been disclosed. His relatives were told that an infection could have killed the general. It was also said that his internal organs, such as his pancreas and kidneys, had failed.

 

Another very strange coincidence, this time on the day of Yuri Sadovenko's death, was found among the ads of his wife, Anna Sadovenko. On December 25th, the day of the general's death, the new widow put a "telecommunications cabinet" up for sale. Judging by the photo, it's a mini-server room, complete with cables, a router, and power supplies, but no servers or data drives. Such cabinets are typically connected to surveillance cameras and are used to store recordings.

 

Early in his career, Sadovenko called Shoigu his "second father" and "mentor." But then came the incident when Shoigu's favorite, Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov, stole Sadovenko's wife and mother of his three children, Maria Kitaeva. According to VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info, after this, Sadovenko harbored a grudge against both Ivanov and Shoigu and began privately declaring that he would definitely take revenge. Moreover, he became close with the 1st Service of the Internal Security Directorate of the FSB, with whom he shared information about corruption in the Ministry of Defense, as well as with Roman Zolotov, the son of the Director of the Russian National Guard, Viktor Zolotov. He effectively defected from Shoigu to another "security clan." Rumors circulated that Sadovenko played a significant role in initiating cases against Ivanov and other individuals from Shoigu's entourage.

The former deputy minister's funeral and burial will take place on Monday at the same Troekurovskoye Cemetery.

However, there is a flip side to this story. We'll tell you more about the frost very soon.
