Navalny as an aperitif
April 17, 2013 Alexander Ryklin
On April 17, the political process begins over Alexei Navalny. That is, in form it will be purely criminal. I would even say - deliberately criminal. Because Navalny will not be judged by the organization of riots or calls for the overthrow of the state system. Navalny will be judged by the theft of the forest. Which, in itself, in the eyes of the modern Russian establishment, should look like an additional mockery: decent people steal gas, oil, budget money, and this one - PNI from the taiga. But it is important for the layman to demonstrate that an ardent fighter with corruption is not without sin. The authorities, no longer hoping to wash off the image of a crook and a thief, is now trying to introduce a simple thought into the consciousness of people - but they are all there in one world of Mazana. Though those who are inside the Kremlin wall, at least those outside. Say, what bosses, such an opposition!
There is another task - to measure the degree of opposition determination before the Great Political process over Bolotnaya prisoners, to see how the protest Moscow will react to the stimulus in the form of an obviously falsified business.
I undertake to say that the verdict is not a foregone conclusion. Rather, the form of punishment. Of course, today many knowledgeable and competent people (for example, Olga Romanova) are sure that one of the most striking leaders of the Russian revolution will not be able to avoid the real term. And yet, it seems to me, a lot will depend on whether we can seriously scare them again. As it was, for example, in December last year. What is needed for this? Yes, let's say, there are simply many tens of thousands to go to the Supreme Court. Constantly, throughout the process. And also go to Kirov and thus try to support Alexei, the trial of which, in fact, gives us all the chance to return the positions surrendered for various reasons. If we manage to organize constant and serious pressure - no, not to the Kirov court, but to those who will write the script for this reprisal and give orders to judges - we will have the opportunity to recapture their own. Or at least seriously facilitate their fate. This applies to Alexei Navalny himself and the rest of the Prisoners of Bolotnaya.
So, our respected readers, the “daily magazine” begins to cover the most important event of the current political season with an interview with lawyer Vadim Prokhorov .
"There is an order - at all costs to pronounce a conviction"
The opposition, the head of the anti -corruption project "Rospil" by Alexei Navalny and his accomplice, entrepreneur Peter Officer, is accused of theft of the property of the Kirov regional state unitary enterprise "Kirovles". Allegedly, more than 10 thousand cubic meters of forest products were stolen, which caused damage to the region of the region of more than 16 million rubles.
What can be said about this case in the first place?
After an interview with the official representative of the Investigative Committee, Vladimir Markin, everything fell into place. His comment is a kind of marking sign of this case. Markin admitted that Navalny's investigators are attracted to the fact that "teasing power." Thus, the power itself signed in the political nature of the persecution. I think there is a violation of Article 18 of the European Convention (“The limits of the use of restrictions on rights”), which with obviousness should be applied. Alexey did absolutely correctly that he hung on the blog all the necessary documents. It is clear to any mentally healthy person who underwent arithmetic in elementary schools, it is clear that it is impossible to buy building materials for 14.5 million rubles, sell for 16 million and earn, or rather, to steal the same 16 million. However, we already had such accusations. You can recall the second case of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who himself stole all the oil, paying taxes from her. There is nothing new here, it is simply a continuation of the idiocy of the current government, which does not consider it possible to hide the political, custom nature of the matter and essentially openly talks about it.
Even before this case went to court, an opinion was expressed - perhaps erroneous - that they are more promoting the case of the theft of money by the “union of the right forces”, because in the case of Kirovles, nothing is obtained.
They cannot do in the case of Kirovles, it will definitely not work in the case of ATP. Nevertheless, there is an order - at all costs to pronounce a conviction. The case of ATP, of course, has a reserve status. Apparently, as the events develop, they will try to promote it. The “Main Subscribed Agency” fraud, which was already excited against Navalny, clearly stabbed the company, well, nothing - they will come up with the ATP case, and another time they will come up with espionage in favor of Martian. After Markin’s commentary, everything is already clear.
The Leninsky District Court of Kirov refused to hold preliminary hearings. Is it unprecedented?
Honestly, yes. As a rule, no one refuses anyone in preliminary hearings, neither civil nor criminal cases. What and to whom the preliminary hearings can interfere is completely incomprehensible. I would definitely conduct them at the site of the Order Court - exactly in order not to receive accusations in the refusal to carry them out. But we must understand that a young judge, appointed at the end of last year, living in the region, spending an hour and a half on the road to get to work. Obviously, the task has been set for him: you will cope with the Navalny case - you will get an apartment in Kirov. Probably, the judge was afraid to hold preliminary hearings, since something could already open on them. In any case, the court is determined to work out the task in full.
Is this a violation?
From my point of view, yes. The court probably takes some other position.
