    Classified By: Ambassador Tatiana C. Gfoeller, Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).

    ¶1.  (S)  Summary:  During a friendly lunch at the
    Ambassador's residence, Oksana Malevanaya, the Head of the
    Presidential Secretariat, broached the topic of Medet
    Sadyrkulov's death.  She said that he was her husband, soul
    mate and the father of her youngest child, and that she could
    not have continued working for the Kyrgyz government had she
    believed it had killed him.  With apparently deep emotion,
    she described the reasoning that led her to believe
    Sadyrkulov's death was indeed an accident.  She observed that
    the Kyrgyz Security Services are simply "too stupid" to have
    been capable of assassinating him.  She also claimed that
    leading up to and following his resignation, Sadyrkulov had
    been talking with the opposition through Valentin Bogatyrov
    and Sergei Slepchenko, but that he had never wavered in his
    loyalty to President Bakiyev.  End Summary.

    ¶2.  (C)  The Ambassador hosted Oksana Malevanaya, the Head of
    the Presidential Secretariat, for a lunch at her residence on
    February 3.  The discussion was friendly, and covered several
    topics, including pressing for a visit by Secretary Clinton,
    the future of the Drug Control Agency, and the abolishment of
    the Ministry of Defense.  The tenor of the discussion
    changed, however, when Malevanaya introduced the topic of
    Medet Sadyrkulov, and described her perspective on his
    political activities and the nature of his death.  This is
    the second part of a two-part cable (ref A).

    A Tragic Accident?
    ------------------

    ¶3.  (S)  After about an hour of discussion, the tenor of the
    meeting changed dramatically when Malevanaya introduced the
    subject of the death of Medet Sadyrkulov.  Visibly trembling,
    and with her eyes filling with tears, she said that
    Sadyrkulov had been her husband, her "soul mate," and the
    father of her youngest child.  She said that she is tormented
    by people who ask how she can continue to work for the
    government that killed him.  The answer to that, she said
    passionately, was that the Bakiyev Government did not kill
    him.  She said that she is very familiar with the
    capabilities of the Kyrgyz Security Service (SNB), and they
    are simply "too stupid" to be able to carry out a complex
    assassination.  Also, she said, on the day Sadyrkulov died,
    he had telephoned her and told her that he himself was
    uncertain about when he would be traveling back from Almaty.
    Therefore, she reasoned, it would have been impossible to
    ambush him.

    ¶4.  (S)  Continuing, she said that she has seen "18 different
    autopsy reports," none of which indicate that the people in
    the car were shot before they died.  Sadyrkulov's body was
    almost completely incinerated, but it was clear from reports
    that Sergei Slepchenko had been alive when he burned.  She
    also said that the location of the car was not as suspicious
    as it seemed:  Twelve Chimneys Gorge was one of Sadyrkulov's
    favorite spots, and he often went there to walk around.  In
    short, Malevanaya believed the official story that their
    deaths were an accident was true:  The car was hit from
    behind, and a fire quickly ignited the interior upholstery.
    Fumes from the upholstery incapacitated the men, and they
    subsequently asphyxiated or burned to death.

    ¶5.  (S)  Malevanaya also said that, contrary to many accounts
    (ref B), there was never any violent break between herself
    and Sadyrkulov, although they had disagreed sharply about his
    decision to leave the government.  She said that while she
    was pregnant with his child (her second), she stepped back
    from politics.  During that time, while she was not paying

    BISHKEK 00000098  002.6 OF 002

    attention, Sadyrkulov fell under the influence of Valentin
    Bogatyrov and Slepchenko, who, to advance their own agendas,
    pulled Sadyrkulov into contacts with the political
    opposition.  Malevanaya said that although Sadyrkulov was
    speaking to the opposition, he was still fundamentally loyal
    to President Bakiyev.  After Malevanaya had her son, she
    reentered political life, and began trying to peel Sadyrkulov
    away from Bogatyrov and Slepchenko, but she was unsuccessful.

    ¶6.  (S)  Malevanaya expressed a great deal of venom towards
    Bogatyrov and Slepchenko, but in spite of repeated questions
    by the Ambassador, the reason for the hostility remained
    unclear.  Malevanaya said, without explaining the source of
    her knowledge, that Bogatyrov and Slepchenko had engineered
    Janysh Bakiyev's appointment as the head of the Presidential
    Security Service as a stratagem to make Sadyrkulov feel more
    vulnerable, and therefore more amenable to covert talks with
    the opposition.

    ¶7.  (S)  When the Ambassador asked whose interests these
    conspiracies would advance, Malevanaya gave two, apparently
    conflicting, answers.  First, she said Bogatyrov is an agent
    of the Russian FSB, implying that weakening Sadyrkulov had
    been in the interest of the Russian Government.  Second, she
    implied that Bogatyrov, Slepchenko, or both, had ties to a
    very wealthy Kazakh businessman, whom she did not name.
    Sadyrkulov, she claimed, was the only man in the Kyrgyz
    government &smart enough8 to figure out this man,s
    intentions.  Despite appeals from the Kazakh to ethnic
    solidarity (Sadyrkulov was an ethnic Kazakh), Sadyrkulov had
    earlier clashed with this businessman, and prevented him from
    "taking over the Kyrgyz economy."  So, Malevanaya reasoned
    that this businessman would have had an interest in removing
    Sadyrkulov from power, or at least &distracting him with
    Janysh8 while he tried again to take over the Kyrgyz
    economy..

    ¶8.  (S)  Malevanaya is evidently still very distraught at the
    death of Sadyrkulov, and extremely angry at Bogatyrov and
    Slepchenko for their "involvement" with Sadyrkulov.  Despite
    Malevanaya's comments, Sadyrkulov may have been deeply
    involved in plotting Bakiyev's overthrow.  In February 2009,
    shortly before his death, Sadyrkulov met with the Ambassador
    (ref C) and described his plans to organize opposition to
    Bakiyev and install former Vice Prime Minister Elmira
    Ibraimova as Bakiyev's successor.  It is unclear whether
    Malevanaya was unaware of this activity or was being less
    than candid.  However, Malevanaya's account of Sadyrkulov's
    relationship with Slepchenko and Bogatyrov is roughly
    consistent with an open letter recently published by Syrgak
    Abdyldayev, a journalist who was brutally assaulted in March
    ¶2009.  Abdyldayev claimed that he was working with
    Slepchenko, and through him, Sadyrkulov, in developing a new
    opposition website.
