Yury Yakovlevich Chaika (Юрий Яковлевич Чайка; born 21 May 1951) is a Russian lawyer and statesman who currently serves as the Presidential Envoy to the North Caucasian Federal District since 2020.

1995

In 1995, he became first deputy Russian prosecutor general.

He was appointed by then Prosecutor General Yury Skuratov, his former classmate from Sverdlovsk Institute of Law.

1999

Following Skuratov's suspension, Chaika served as acting prosecutor general for a brief spell between April and August 1999.

From August 1999 to June 2006, he served as justice minister.

2006

He previously served as Prosecutor General of Russia from 2006 to 2020 and Minister of Justice from 1999 to 2006.

He has the federal state civilian service ranks of State Councillor of Justitia of the Russian Federation and 1st class Active State Councillor of the Russian Federation, and also the prosecutor's rank of Active State Councillor of Justitia.

On 23 June 2006, Chaika became Russian prosecutor general, effectively swapping jobs with his predecessor Vladimir Ustinov who took up the post of justice minister.

On 14 June 2006, the Prosecutor General's Office reported that it had reopened the "Three Whales" corruption investigation, a case in which nineteen high-ranking FSB (Federal Security Service) officers were allegedly involved in furniture smuggling cases, as well as illegally importing consumer goods from China.

The mass media revealed that the officials dismissed around that time had worked in the Moscow and federal offices of the FSB, the Prosecutor General's Office, the Moscow Regional Prosecutor's Office, the Federal Customs Service and the Presidential Executive Office.

Deputy heads of the FSB Internal Security Department also figured in the report authored by Viktor Cherkesov.

The purge occurred while FSB head Nikolai Patrushev was on vacation.

On 27 December 2006, he accused Leonid Nevzlin, a former vice president of Yukos, exiled in Israel and wanted by the Russian authorities for a long time, of involvement in Alexander Litvinenko poisoning, a charge dismissed by the latter as a nonsense.

2007

On 16 January 2007, Chaika announced that the Tambov Gang had recently forcefully taken over 13 large enterprises in Saint Petersburg and was subject to an investigation.

The leader of the gang, Vladimir Kumarin, was arrested on 24 August 2007.

His associate and member of Putin's cooperative "Ozero" Vladimir Smirnov was dismissed from his position of Tekhsnabexport director.

2015

On 1 December 2015, Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) published a large investigation on Yuri Chaika, and his family.

The song itself does not directly refer to Chaika, but the music video features women wearing seagull masks or making hand gestures of a seagull in dance (chaika (чайка) is the Russian word for seagull).

2017

A "Crown prosecutor" (likely a reference to Chaika) was mentioned in an email chain released on 11 July 2017 by the son of then Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump, Don Jr, in regards to the Russian government and their alleged attempts to provide damaging information during the U.S. Presidential election of 2016.

On March 15, 2017, the Ministry of Justice in Russia filed a claim with the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation seeking "to declare the religious organization, the Administrative Center of Jehovah’s Witnesses, extremist, ban its activity, and liquidate it."
