VIL Mirzayanov Biography

We had a good relationship with him. He worked in our branch in Shikhany, kilometers from Saratov. They were a lot of synthesis of new poisonous substances, they had experimental attitudes, life was in full swing. And these young guys invented a new class of hov, the main difference is that the phosphorus atom will connect directly to nitrogen. Other neuro-paralytic gases do not have this.

Actually, in this regard, “phosphorus is nitrogen” and the entire destructive power of this substance is concluded. This was his appointment. Although the Motherland never admitted that she was developing chemical weapons. Everything was completely secret. From the point of view of even Soviet law, we seemed to be not, we were outside the legal framework. At the same time, we were told that the Americans, the British, and the French have terrible chemical weapons, therefore we need to have it.

Gradually, I began to wonder - why do we need this? Share with some of his friends. One comrade, a colonel, explained: they say that chemical weapons are, firstly, not a weapon at all, but a feeder for officials. Secondly, even in a battle, not the enemy soldiers suffer from him, because they, as a rule, have chemical protection, but the civilian civilian suffers. And I began to come to the conclusion that I was involved in the functioning of a certain mafia ...

In the years, we built a huge Novocheboksary plant for the production of I, which is an analogue of the American VX. At full capacity, 20 tons per year were produced there, in fact, about 5-8 thousand were produced. A dirty bomb in the territory of NATO was first used by weapons of mass destruction - what kind of damage could such a amount of chemical weapons?

Such was the principle. As for damage - can be counted in this way: the lethal concentration of VX or COV is 0.05 mg per kilogram of weight; The "beginner" has 0.01 mg; Zarin has 0.2 mg. Well, we were constantly tested, the effect was analyzed ... - Animal tests? First they tested on mice, then on rabbits and dogs. Intravenously, airborne droplets, spraying.

And each time there is an analysis of the power of the toxic substance. There were tests in real conditions. The substance was loaded onto the carrier, and then somewhere it was dropped, and then they thought how many killed dogs, rabbits. Based on the results of the Ministry of Defense, it was assessed whether this or that substance could be adopted into service with the Soviet Army.

After successful tests in Nukus, for example, the Novice was accepted, this happened already in the year. But they knew that interest in him was also manifested in the KGB. They had their own powerful laboratory equipped with the most modern equipment at that time. When I headed the department of counteracting foreign technical intelligence at the institute, my deputy was just a retired head of this KGB laboratory.

Of course, we worked under them. The guys from the KGB came to us, we collaborated, but they never invited us to their laboratory, and I should not know where it was even located. The KGB did not like it very much, they asked me to cease activity. And we got a taste even more, arranged a meeting at the Institute, brought the authorities to white. The Ministry of Chemical Industry was driving a Mercedes Institute, and the bosses sold them out different things there, terrible things were going on.

I was kicked out of work for the article, and I went to the street to trade “sneakers” and jeans, I had nothing left, I had to feed the children. And after some time I met my colleague, who said that the “newcomer” is still in Nukus. And this, of course, infuriated me. Well, this is your mother, I trade on the street here, the people suffer around, and they experience the wrong weapon!

Why, for whom!? Then I decided to write a new article, it was taken to Moscow News, it went out in September and was called the “poisoned politics”. There, I openly spoke about the existence of a "beginner" and that the authorities continues to do chemical weapons while the people barely make ends meet. A month later, they came from state security and took me to Lefortovo.

And my saga began. The defendant V. Mirzayanov is at the hearing. The passport was selected, I could not work anywhere, it lasted a year and a half. The court began, there I stated that I was not going to recognize it, for it is Soviet. The judges were offended and threw me already at the "sailor silence." It was then that the real hype began, the world press connected, George Soros said that he would stop financial assistance to Russian science if they did not let me go.

And I understood that now they would definitely let go, because no one wanted to lose millions of dollars a year because of some chemist Mirzayanov. Indeed, at the end of the year, the Prosecutor General decided to terminate the case for lack of corpus delicti. At first they did not give me a passport. The whole commission was met by chairmanship, by the way, to Sergey Lavrov.

The commission considered the cases of dissidents who were refused to issue a passport. And I must say thanks to Lavrov that there were many decent people in the commission, for example, Sergey Adamovich Kovalev.They unanimously, with the exception of a representative from state security, voted in my favor. Kovalev then said to the Chekist: “Why did you cling to Mirzayanov?

After all, chemical weapons are prohibited by law, but you yourself signed the Convention on the ban! But I still appreciated his role [in my business] positively. But, probably, people are changing over time ... My future wife, an American who led the campaign in my support, said then: “Come on, stay.” And I stayed. Then I was known, and only the Pravda newspaper wrote badly about me.

I included 50 villages of secret documents from my criminal case, which I patiently rewritten in m ... Then the publishers in fear asked me why I did not tell them that there were secrets in the book. So tell them to them, they would never have printed! How do you answer this? Large shifts in consciousness occurred in the country with X, I would say so, under the influence of the propaganda "beginner".

And I cannot blame those who are poisoned. My father, for example, was an absolutely fanatical communist, worked as a teacher in the village. Can I blame him for something? Many people who reproach me now act in the logic of survival. They can be understood. It is necessary to have courage and principles in order to objectively evaluate my actions. I never betrayed anyone and did not betray anyone, not a single person and agent.

In the year I gave out only the formula “Novice”, so that he was finally forbidden to stir up the guys in the Hague [in the headquarters of OPCW]. But then it was absolutely indifferent to them. And here is what situation we have now. Perhaps the current misfortune will wake them finally. My goal is peacekeeping. I always understood how monstrous what we invented. And it was necessary to deprive Russia forever this secret.

I do not regret it at all and do not repent. Now they write threats to Facebook, and loved ones worry that they will follow revenge, but I'm honestly not afraid. If the Chekists did not finish me in the year and in M, then why am I to them now? I will answer: because many in my surroundings spoke out for a long time against security reasons. One Washington Think Tank, an analytical center that helped me then, believed that the “newcomer” would be able to reproduce terrorists.

I answered this: without knowledge, the most accurate equipment and the most experienced "beginner" to synthesize is simply unrealistic! And if you take it, you will kill yourself. My loved ones were still against, even my wife, but I showed perseverance and still made a publication. And I think that I did the most important thing in my life. And if someone calls me a traitor, then let him be happy with this opinion.
