Moskvich, was born in the family of a KGB officer. Until 1993, he served in the economic counterintelligence department of the FSB - supervised the State Customs Committee. In 1993, at the age of 37 and with the rank of colonel, he was dismissed from the authorities as head of the department of the UBKK (Department for Combating Smuggling and Corruption). After his dismissal, he received a senior position at Tveruniversalbank, where he headed the security and protection service, being responsible for entertainment events. They say that he received this position thanks to the recommendations of his son-in-law Nikolai Ryzhkov, one of the leaders of the left in the State Duma. Ryzhkov's son-in-law worked at the State Customs Committee, where, apparently, he got along with Zaostrovtsev. During Zaostrovtsev's tenure at Tveruniversalbank (a little over a year), 80 percent of his employees quit his security service. In early 1996, Zaostrovtsev resigned from the bank. According to some reports, he was offered to leave.

In Tveruniversalbank, Zaostrovtsev was engaged in checking creditors and formed a certain prototype of a team around himself. Then, together with these people, he went to the Medox company, which is part of the infamous Siberian Aluminum group, which is directly connected with Mikhail Cherny, a man with a very specific reputation. Now these people form the backbone of Sibalumin's security service.

Established CJSC "Firma Andronik" (wholesale and retail trade), CJSC "Universalinter", LLC CHOP "Universal Ltd.", LLP CHOP "Titan-B". In January 1998, the police confiscated 6 firearms and 240 rounds of ammunition from Titan-B in connection with the violation of the norms stipulated for private detective and security activities. One of Yury Zaostrovtsev's partners, Khalilov Musa Isa oglu (his company is one of the co-founders of the private security company Titan-B), was detained in November 1998 because he was wanted on charges of kidnapping.

In November 1998, FSB First Deputy Director Nikolai Patrushev reinstated reserve colonel Zaostrovtsev in the FSB cadres and placed him at the disposal of the Economic Counterintelligence Department. At the same time, Zaostrovtsev continues to be listed as an employee of the Presidential Administration as a civilian, where in July 1998 he was hired as an assistant to Patrushev (then head of the Main Control Directorate), head of the GKU department in the rank of state adviser of the first rank.

In early 1999, they tried to appoint Zaostrovtsev to the State Customs Committee as deputy chairman. However, Valery Draganov manages to evade such an offer (after that, Draganov was fired). Later, they try to second him to the head of Vnesheconombank as an adviser. Andrei Kostin, unlike Draganov, did not mind. However, a new stage in Zaostrovtsev's banking career ended before it even began. Zaostrovtsev headed the FSB Office for Counterintelligence Support of the Financial and Banking Sphere.

Being the appointed head of UKROKFS, Zaostrovtsev immediately demanded "on the table" all operational materials on the credit and banking sector. As explained, "for analysis and for reporting to management." These are materials on Berezovsky (LogoVAZ), Potanin (Interros), Vinogradov (Inkombank), Malkin (Russian Credit), Fridman (Alfa-Bank) and Igor Fedorov (National Reserve).

Zaostrovtsev does not have his own team: after he headed the department, a person from St. Petersburg Groshev was appointed to his former position in the department, and Vladimir Sergeyev remained in his deputies. Recently, Zaostrovtsev has shown himself only by joining the commission on foreign property of the Russian Federation, and also overseeing the FSB operation on "flashing lights" carried out in January 2000 (he was a member of the interdepartmental commission on special signals as deputy chairman of the commission Vladimir Rushailo) .

Work in the FSB 1998-2004

Yuri Zaostrovtsev gained public fame after the publication on April 26, 2000 in the newspaper Segodnya, owned by Vladimir Gusinsky's holding Media-Most, of the article "Banker of the Invisible Front". The article cited some facts from the biography of Zaostrovtsev (as the article says, a request addressed to the director of the FSB with a request to provide a biography of Yu. Zaostrovtsev remained unanswered, and the information was based on newspaper data), on the basis of which the conclusion was made:

Supervision by the FSB over finances and banks in our country is carried out by a person who is well acquainted with banks and finances in protecting the bankrupt Tveruniversalbank and in his own business activities in various private security companies.

On May 12, 2000, in the newspaper Segodnya, under the heading "Letters without an answer", requests and letters sent by the newspaper to various state leaders were published. In a letter to the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin, in particular, it was said:

On the same day<26.04.2000>General Zaostrovtsev called an operational meeting and demanded by any means to initiate a criminal case against MOST-Bank, which services the accounts of all media outlets, or against other divisions of the group. And this time, demanding the fulfillment of his instructions, Yu. Zaostrovtsev referred to your personal order for that.

Subsequently, the newspaper "Segodnya" twice returned to the activities of Yu. Zaostrovtsev.

The FSB division headed by Zaostrovtsev played one of the key roles in the criminal prosecution of Gusinsky and the media that were part of his Media-Most holding (including NTV), which began after the article appeared, and later in the Aeroflot case (against Boris Berezovsky) and the case Yukos (against Mikhail Khodorkovsky).

In September 2001, Yuri Zaostrovtsev was at the center of a high-profile scandal known as the “furniture business”: according to information published in the press, one of the co-founders of firms accused of lowering customs duties was his father, Evgeny Zaostrovtsev, while the FSB actively opposed the investigation of the case. about smuggling. Although no documentary evidence of the involvement of Zaostrovtsev Sr. was presented, there were no denials in the press or appeals to the court from Zaostrovtsev.
