Actively engaged community service, joined the CPSU (remained a member of the party until its prohibition in August 1991). After graduating from the university, he was sent for distribution to the internal affairs bodies, where he worked until 1979 (according to other sources, until 1977) as a criminal investigation inspector and investigator.

In 1977-1980, Bastrykin was a postgraduate student at the Faculty of Law of the Leningrad State University. In 1980 he defended his dissertation for the degree of candidate of legal sciences on the topic "Problems of investigating criminal cases involving foreign citizens." From the same year, he began to engage in teaching, Komsomol and party work. Bastrykin was a lecturer, senior lecturer at the Department of Criminal Procedure and Criminalistics, Faculty of Law, Leningrad State University. From 1980 to 1985 he was the secretary of the Komsomol Committee of the Leningrad State University, the secretary of the Leningrad city committee of the Komsomol. The media noted that at the same time, Valentina Matvienko, who in October 2003 was elected governor of St. Petersburg, worked in the Leningrad bodies of the Komsomol.

In 1986, Bastrykin became deputy secretary of the Leningrad State University party committee. In 1987, he defended his doctoral dissertation on the topic "Problems of interaction between the norms of domestic and international law in the field of criminal justice.

Since 1988, Bastrykin headed the Leningrad Institute for the Improvement of Investigative Workers under the USSR Prosecutor's Office. In 1992-1996, he served as rector of the St. Petersburg Law Institute and received the academic title of professor. According to some sources, Bastrykin also headed the department of transport law at the St. Petersburg State University of Water Communications.

In 1998, he was appointed director of the North-Western Branch of the Russian Law Academy of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. In July 2001, he became head of the Department of the Ministry of Justice for the North-Western Federal District (NWFD), in June 2006 - head of the Main Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Central Federal District (CFD).

On October 6, 2006, Bastrykin was appointed Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yuri Chaika, supervised the investigation of criminal cases. According to media reports, Bastrykin was in conflict with another Chaika deputy, Viktor Grin, who was directly in charge of the investigation. In May 2007, President Putin signed a law that provided for the creation of an Investigative Committee under the Prosecutor's Office. The head of this structure should be the first deputy prosecutor general, but he should be appointed by the Federation Council on the proposal of the president and, thus, actually became independent of the prosecutor's office. In particular, he had independence in the conduct of personnel policy. On June 22, 2007, the Federation Council approved Bastrykin's candidacy for the post of chairman of the Investigative Committee. About three months after that, while the apparatus of the new structure was being formed, organizational and legal issues, Bastrykin was the acting head of the committee.

According to some observers, Bastrykin was guided by presidential aide Igor Sechin, who allegedly intended to take revenge after the resignation of his protege Vladimir Ustinov from the post of prosecutor general in the summer of 2006 and his appointment to a less influential position as head of the Ministry of Justice.

The purpose of creating the Investigative Committee was to separate the actual investigation, which was supposed to be handled by Bastrykin's committee, and oversight of the investigation and representation of the prosecution in court, which, like extradition issues, remained with the prosecutor's office. It was suggested in the media that the actual selection of investigation functions from the prosecutor's office was supposed to weaken its political influence, which increased sharply after the start of the "YUKOS case" in 2003 and was once again demonstrated in 2006-2007 during the "customs case" and the initiation of a number of criminal trials against regional and city heads.

After his approval as acting head of the Investigative Committee, Bastrykin made several messages to the media, talking about the investigation of the most high-profile criminal cases. So, regarding the disclosure of the murder in October 2006 of journalist Anna Politkovskaya, he said that a significant part of the six initial versions had already disappeared and now the rest are being worked out. Bastrykin also commented on the course of the investigation into the death of ex-FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko, close to businessman Boris Berezovsky, who died in November 2006 in London as a result of poisoning with the radioactive substance polonium-210. Bastrykin said that Russian investigators are cooperating closely with British colleagues, although they allegedly do not receive due feedback from them. According to him, the British side is working out only one version of what happened, according to which the killer is Russian businessman Andrey Lugovoi. The Russian side would like to work out several other versions. According to media reports, Bastrykin also claimed that Litvinenko was most likely poisoned by Berezovsky himself.

August 13, 2007 in the Novgorod region derailed fast train "Nevsky Express" on the route Moscow - St. Petersburg. As a result, 60 people were injured, more than two dozen of them were hospitalized. Bastrykin led a group of investigators and criminologists who went to the scene. According to preliminary data, the cause of the accident was an explosion on the tracks of a homemade bomb. In fact, the prosecutor's office opened a criminal case under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("terrorism"). Bastrykin announced the completion of the investigation into the case of the Nevsky Express bombing at the end of February 2009. Natives of Ingushetia Salanbek Dzakhkiev and Maksharip Khidriev were involved as defendants in this case. However, they were involved in the case “only as accomplices in the organizer and perpetrator of the terrorist act, which, according to the investigation, was a certain Pavel Kosolapov, who was wanted for organizing a series of terrorist attacks in 2003-2005. , remained unknown.

On September 7, 2007, Bastrykin officially assumed the position of chairman of the Investigative Committee under the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation. On the same day, he signed an order to transfer more than 18 thousand employees from the prosecutor's office to the committee. There was also a transfer of 60,000 criminal cases throughout the country to the investigative units of the new department. Bastrykin told journalists that the Investigative Committee would not compete with the prosecutor's office, since they have different areas of activity. On September 19, Bastrykin was relieved of his post as deputy prosecutor general and became first deputy prosecutor general, which, according to the law, corresponded to the position of head of the Investigative Committee.

At the same time, a number of investigators who dealt with high-profile criminal cases in the recent past did not enter the staff of Bastrykin's department. So, the Investigative Committee did not get: Salavat Karimov, senior investigator for especially important cases of the Prosecutor General's Office, who led the investigation of two criminal cases against businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky; Sergei Ivanov, head of the Directorate for the Investigation of Particularly Important Cases of the Prosecutor General's Office, who led the investigation team in the Politkovskaya murder case; Andrei Mayorov, deputy head of this department, who supervised the investigation into the poisoning of Litvinenko. In addition, the committee did not include investigators who dealt with the cases of the deceived investors of the Social Initiative partnership, the case of smuggling mobile phones by the Euroset company and the case of the raider seizure of several enterprises in St. Petersburg in 2006-2007. All suspended investigators were given jobs in the central office of the Prosecutor General's Office. An anonymous source in Chaika's department told reporters that "such a decision causes nothing but bewilderment," and added that the service, which has existed for a year own security The prosecutor's office officially has no claims against these employees.

Subsequently, the media noted that contradictions arose between the UPC and the Prosecutor General's Office in connection with the division of functions, property and funds allocated for their maintenance, since "the interpretation of the legislation made it possible to consider the UPC as a practically independent body, both in procedural and administrative terms. ". They also wrote in the press about the existence of a personal conflict between Bastrykin and Chaika, which was accompanied "not only by correspondence controversy and the stuffing of compromising evidence in the media, but also by a scandal" around the former head of the Main Investigation Department (GSU) of the Investigative Committee Dmitry Dovgy, who actually accused Bastrykin "of fabrication of a number of criminal cases" (in April 2008, Bastrykin signed an order to dismiss and dismiss Dovgy, and in August 2008, Dovgy was arrested on suspicion of attempting to receive a bribe on an especially large scale and abuse of power). It was noted that the criminal cases against the Deputy Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation Sergey Storchak and the head of the operational support department of the State Drug Control Service Alexander Bulbov, which appeared against the background of the conflict between the UPC and the GP, also gave a reason to see "the political situation, to doubt the objectivity of the investigation".

Supreme Court The Russian Federation confirmed the supremacy of the Prosecutor General's Office over the UPC only at the beginning of March 2009. After analyzing the norms that regulated the activities of the UPC and the Prosecutor General's Office, the court recognized that the orders of the Prosecutor General "are binding on representatives of the UPC, including the head of this department himself." The Supreme Court also determined that the Attorney General had the right to reverse the decision of his first deputy. Thus, as noted by the media, the court resolved "the dilemma of which of the ... leaders (Bastrykin or Chaika - ed.) is more important."

At the beginning of August 2008, the situation in the area of ​​the South Ossetian city of Tskhinvali, the zone of presence of Russian and Georgian peacekeepers, escalated. On August 8, 2008, Georgian troops entered the territory South Ossetia, and the capital of the unrecognized republic, the city of Tskhinvali, was subjected to heavy artillery fire. On August 9, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announced the start of an operation "to enforce peace in the zone of the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict." After a trip to Vladikavkaz, Prime Minister Putin called what was happening in South Ossetia a genocide of the Ossetian people and offered to document the crimes committed against the civilian population. Then Medvedev decided to instruct Bastrykin to coordinate the collection of documentary evidence of the Georgian side's crimes in South Ossetia, which "will become the basis for the future criminal prosecution of the perpetrators."

After that, the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee under the Russian Prosecutor's Office for North Ossetia, the closest subject of the federation to the scene of the incident, opened a criminal case in connection with the Georgian attack on South Ossetia on charges of premeditated murder of two or more persons in a generally dangerous way (Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) . Kommersant also reported that earlier the military prosecutor's office opened a criminal case in connection with the murder in the territory of South Ossetia Russian peacekeepers. The publication wrote that the investigators began to work in the refugee camps: they interviewed the victims, witnesses, relatives of the victims (according to unofficial data, their number on August 12, 2008 was more than 2 thousand people). A few days later, the Investigative Committee recognized what happened in South Ossetia as genocide, on the basis of which it opened a single criminal case. At the same time, Bastrykin said that evidence on the fact of the genocide was being collected "both for an internal Russian investigation and for possible transfer to international instances."

At the end of August, after the end of the conflict, which was called the "five-day war" in the press, Bastrykin gave an interview " Russian newspaper", in which he stated that "the facts of genocide against the Ossetian people are fully confirmed." war". In February 2009, at the final board in the Prosecutor General's Office, Bastrykin announced the completion of the investigation. He noted that the fact of the genocide of Georgia against the Ossetian people was "fully confirmed." On July 3, 2009, Bastrykin announced that in the case of the events in South Ossetia, officially death was confirmed 162 civilians, and a total of 5315 people were recognized as victims.

The head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin came out of vacation ahead of schedule. Employees of the department announced that they have the former head. The Investigative Committee itself will also continue to function in its former form. True, soon the Prosecutor General's Office should have more powers to control the activities of the committee.

As a source in the Russian Investigative Committee told Rosbalt, when Bastrykin decided to go on vacation, it was known that it would be long - until October 2018. At the same time, they said that its current chairman may no longer return to the RF IC. And the committee itself may cease to exist as a separate department. Therefore, pessimistic moods prevailed in the middle class. However, having celebrated the anniversary (August 27, he turned 65 years old), Bastrykin set to work with renewed vigor. Almost immediately, plunging into the "thick of things", he went on business trips to North Caucasus. “His early return from vacation was unexpected, while Alexander Ivanovich was in good mood. The leading employees were told that all doubts were over, Bastrykin remains the head of the RF Investigative Committee, his powers have been extended. As I understand it, “extension of powers” ​​is such figurative expression, there was just a conversation with Vladimir Putin, everything cleared up, ”a source in the UK expressed the opinion.

The interlocutor of Rosbalt, who is familiar with the situation, said that the conversation between the president and Bastrykin took place during the mourning events associated with the death of Joseph Kobzon.

It was also announced to the employees of the Investigative Committee that the department itself will continue to work, in the near future its transformation will not take place. Sources of the agency say that a fly in the ointment has been prepared for the committee. It is assumed that by the end of 2018 a number of legislative acts will be adopted that will significantly expand the capabilities of the Prosecutor General's Office to control the activities of the Investigative Committee.

Even in the summer, the interlocutors of Rosbalt (including those in the Investigative Committee itself) noted that until the fall (when the State Duma and the Federation Council begin their work), the fate of the Investigative Committee remains uncertain. It was not clear in what form the committee would exist, whether such a department would remain at all. IN Lately several options for a possible reform of the Russian Investigative Committee were discussed at once, in particular, the creation of a single investigative body on the basis of the committee, which would also include investigators from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and a number of other departments. However, the most realistic was the return of the committee under the control of the Prosecutor General's Office.
