In one boiler

The case of the riots on Bolotnaya Square on May 6 was combined into one with the case of preparation for organizing mass riots, in which the accused are Left Front activists Sergei Udaltsov, Konstantin Lebedev and Leonid Razvozzhaev, as well as with two other cases of Razvozzhaev, which had previously been combined with a case of preparing mass riots - illegally crossing the Russian-Ukrainian border and robbery in 1997, when Razvozzhaev allegedly took a bunch of hats from an Angarsk businessman.

The Investigative Committee made it clear that it has “reasons to believe that these crimes were committed by the same individuals.” If representatives of the Investigative Committee have any semblance of common sense left, it should be concluded that they mean a connection between the riots on Bolotnaya and preparations for organizing mass riots. However, given the level of absurdity that now colors almost everything that comes from the Russian government, it cannot be ruled out that border crossings and even unfortunate hats will be sewn on those accused in the “Bolotnaya case” or the insidious former representative of the Georgian authorities Givi Targamadze. In any case, according to the investigation, he was involved in the riots on Bolotnaya despite the fact that his alleged negotiations with Left Front activists, which were described by the NTV television company in the scandalous film “Anatomy of a Protest-2,” took place later.

One of the witnesses in the Bolotnaya case is lawyer Mark Feigin (Udaltsov is also a witness), so he was removed from work as Razvozzhaev’s defense attorney. Meanwhile, another lawyer of the oppositionist, Dmitry Agranovsky, reported that his client, who is currently being transferred to Irkutsk in connection with the episode about the hats, sent a petition to the Investigative Committee to terminate the case about the hats due to the expiration of the statute of limitations (despite the fact that that the statute of limitations had expired at the end of 2012, the Investigative Committee brought this case into the light of day and sent Razvozzhaev to the stage). The Investigative Committee said that they have not yet received the petition, but in any case it will mean that the accused has admitted his guilt. Agranovsky assured Moskovsky Komsomolets that Razvozzhaev’s petition is not at all tantamount to an admission of guilt.
