Regarding the high-profile case involving NTV employee Pavel Yermolov. I hope the investigation gets to the bottom of everything and that the truth prevails. There is one interesting detail I want to draw attention to. The victim in the case is L. A. Sarycheva. She had been drinking with a friend at a café, then an unfamiliar man joined them, and they drank together. Later, while intoxicated, they went for a drive in her car. Then the man stole the car. Sarycheva claims that Yermolov did it. Now let’s look at the confrontation interview record.
At this point, the impression is that the victim, Sarycheva, is a typical figure from the crime blotter. Drinking in a café, and it all ended badly. But then, for some reason, Sarycheva stops answering the lawyer’s questions.
Strange, isn’t it? But there is only one explanation. The victim, L. A. Syrycheva, is far from an ordinary crime-blotter character.
source She is the deputy head of investigations at the Savyolovsky District Department of Internal Affairs. That would presumably make her a police major or lieutenant colonel in the old militsiya system (the former Russian police force). And starting tomorrow, in the police. So a senior officer, while drunk, loses her badge, seal, keys, and other police paraphernalia. Maybe she did not simply lose them and they really were stolen—that needs to be investigated. But the fact that she was drunk and in the company of unfamiliar drunk people is beyond dispute. She entrusted the car to a drunk driver—that is also a fact. So the question is: why is L. A. Sarycheva still working as deputy head of investigations at the Savyolovsky District Department of Internal Affairs? And is L. A. Sarycheva now supposed to be addressed as “Madam Police Officer”? More assorted details of this story are here. Update. Police investigator L. A. Sarycheva (pictured on the right)
