He graduated from the Police School in the year [52]. In the year, Vasiliev began working in law enforcement. In the year he graduated from the All -Union Legal Correspondence Institute [52]. He finished it in the year [42], [52].

In the same year, Vasiliev became the first deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation - the head of the Main Directorate for the Combating of Organized Crime. By that time, Vasiliev was well known among colleagues as an “intelligent professional” [52], [48].

In May, after appointing to the post of Minister of Internal Affairs Vladimir Rushailo Vasiliev, he decided to leave the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In that period - from March 29 to August 9 - the post of secretary of the Security Council was held by Vladimir Putin [52], [42]. The journalists called Vasiliev the "victim of Rushailo" and claimed that the new minister survived his first deputy from the department.

Vasiliev himself never directly confirmed this version. He stated that he had left when he realized that he could no longer do the work that he had to do [48], [40], [45].

He explained to reporters that this happened after the Ministry of Internal Affairs was engaged in the Togliatti Automobile Plant, and when the investigation began in connection with the appearance of large parties of fake vodka [35].

At the same time, according to the media information, Vasiliev, being in the post of Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council, very critically evaluated the activities of Rushailo as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and did not hide his attitude towards other members of the Security Council [49].

Rushailo, in turn, was appointed head of the Security Council, and the president made this post to Sergey Ivanov, the president made the Minister of Defense. Putin explained the political meaning of these permutations not only by the need to speed up military reform, but also by the desire to demilitarize the power block [52], [51].

The media made assumptions that it was Vasiliev that would have to carry out all the technical work on the leadership of the department until the new chef went up to date. In addition, a number of political observers expressed the opinion that the appointment of Vasiliev was the first deputy minister to the end of structural reforms that began in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which, indeed, did not end [52], [48].

Initially, Putin intended to make Vasiliev as Minister, some publications claimed. They reported that the then Secretary of the Council of People's Commissars Sergey Ivanov and the Chairman of the Accounts Chamber, the former Minister of Internal Affairs, held this post, held this post, Sergey Stepashin, in support of Vasiliev’s candidacy. However, the closest environment of the first president of Russia Boris Yeltsin supposedly opposed this, who considered that Vasiliev was too close to the mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov, as deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, contributed to the creation of powerful autonomous detachments of the municipal police, which caused alertness in the Kremlin.

As a result, the parties compromised, and Gryzilov became the minister, and Vasiliev was made by him as a deputy [50]. Vasiliev’s duties as a state secretary included the submission of the Ministry of the Interior in the Federation Council and the State Duma. He was responsible for issues of international relations and legal work. As the deputy minister of internal affairs, Vasiliev was the curator of the Central District of Russia.

Following this, special forces broke into the theater center and shot sleeping terrorists [39]. The explosion of the building, which was threatened with extremists, managed to avoid, but the number of victims among the hostages that suffocated as a result of the action of gas and sluggishness of rescuers was a person [26], [38], [39]. After that, domestic and foreign critics accused the Kremlin of neglecting the lives of people and concealing genuine information about what happened on Dubrovka [47], [46], [38], [26].
