Hooray! Udaltsov hit me!

“If you put in the museum a crying Bolshevik, Rotozai would stick out all day in the museum ...” But the launching street or washing entrances of high -rise buildings coordinator of the “Left Front” Sergey Udaltsov is now not such an absurd picture: on June 27, the Ulyanovsk World Court sentenced the famous opposition to 240 hours of compulsory work. If the sentence stands in the highest instance court, Sergei will have to score the floors. The officials have already selected the work “at the place of registration”. I anticipate this flash mob in advance: a series of applications to the Moscow City Hall - in accordance with the new law on rallies - to hold a public event “In order to accompany the convict comrade to the place of serving forced labor” or “In order to facilitate Sergei Udaltsov’s moral suffering from monotonous labor by the performance of patriotic content, as well as ballroom dancing, including Hastle and Hastle and Hastle and Hasters. Gopak ". Brows and mop with white ribbons, riot police, reporters, grumbling old women at the porches ... Udaltsov already promised officials from the Nagatinsky Zaton area, where it is registered, to bring with them 240 friends to clean the territory in the courtyards of this area so that each of its associates worked for an hour. It is unlikely that the authorities will allow this - otherwise why was the garden to fence with this criminal process? But the local movement of the opposition masses, I think, is guaranteed.

Activist of the Prochrevsky movement “Young Guard of United Russia”, 20-year-old student Anna Pozdnyakova, privately accused Udaltsova of applying her beatings during the anti-Natovsky rally in Ulyanovsk on April 21 (there are several “light” articles in the Criminal Code, including Art. 116 “Beating”, the prosecutor of the victim or his representatives). The incident occurred while she tried to interview Sergei, writing down what was happening on a mobile phone camera. Udaltsov categorically claimed that he did not touch the girl and that everything that happened was a provocation. It is very similar to that, especially considering that “our” and “young guards” specialize in provocations against the opposition. For example, in Ulyanovsk, during a meeting of the State Duma deputy from the Communist Party with the Voters of the “Molodogvardei”, the youths came to the same square, supposedly to the subbotnik, and defiantly drove the dust under the nose of veterans with brooms.

Udaltsov called the ending process the “Ulyanovsk equivalent of the Basmann Justice”: “All evidence from the defense was rejected without any arguments at all. On the other hand, everything that the prosecution said is recognized as absolutely correct, truthful and deserving complete trust. ” Having visited almost all the trials of the court in the Udaltsov case, I will say: I got the impression that from some point the court did not try to establish the truth: the girl or did not beat daring, the only desire for Judge Ekaterina Trofimova was dumped until the end of the process, observing the procedure and minimal external decency. The quality of the verdict says at least the fact that the witness Shchedrov is called Shcheglov (the clue for a lawyer of protection at the appeal stage). With a dozen defense witnesses - both Ulyanovtsev and Muscovites - denied the fact of a blow. The judge recognized their testimony unreliable, because these people share the political beliefs of the defendant and "depend on him." Three were testified in favor of Pozdnyakova, one of them - the “Young Guard”, the other sympathetic: one witness heard a scream, but did not see a blow, the two said that there was a blow, but they got confused, on what part of the body he came, whether it was a direct blow or to drop it. These testimonies were recognized as "stable, without contradictions."

The case from the very beginning looked ordered: Poznyakova’s statement about the beatings was registered within an hour and on the same day the inquiry began, and Udaltsov’s “symmetrical answer” - a statement of false denunciation - was ignored. The order made sense: if I could lure Udaltsov on the court in Ulyanovsk on the eve of the May “Millions Marsh” and quickly award him arrest, the action would lose one of the main leaders and organizers. Customers, if any, remained in the shade, but the physiognomy of the “performer” became known to the whole country.

Someone finds Pozdnyakov pretty, someone causes aesthetic rejection of a double chin, superfluous in such a young years. But more important in this situation is the moral physiognomy of Pozdnyakova. Each of the journalists who illuminated the process decided for himself: why does she need all this? Was there a blow or not? Where did the girl’s “concussion of the brain” and “closed traumatic brain injury”, indicated in the medical certificate, came from this puffing health of the girl-did the doctors also involve the doctors in this performance? Udaltsov says: I am used to provocations and I am not an idiot to beat anyone under the aim of cameras and surrounded by a mass of witnesses (quite logical). On the process, he kept calmly and confidently, his speech was well built, unlike the confused speech of the victim, who, incidentally, calls himself a journalist. Most likely it was like this (some eyewitnesses talk about it): Udaltsov did not just closed the camera, but pushed her away from him, touching the victim’s hands, but the girl did not beat, because it was impossible to strike such a force with an outstretched hand to cause concussion, and there was definitely no lounging - the video confirms this. But Pozdnyakova of this touch was enough to play a humiliated and insulted.

Most of my colleagues observing the process agreed that the girl was not clearly pulled by an innocent sheep. In the video, where the moment of the blow is allegedly captured, she hollows Udaltsova with the same question: “Sergey, are you starving?” Why should it be so persistently asking about this if she, as follows from her testimony in court, on the eve of the rally already knew that Udaltsov left the hunger strike in support of the Astrakhan deputy Oleg Shein? She stated that after the blow immediately turned to the police. This is not so: from the end of the video recording to the moment of registration of the appeal in the on -duty part of the Internal Affairs Directorate, about 50 minutes have passed. What did she do at this time? Well, something is known: she ran to her friends and in joyful excitement, almost choked with delight, told them: “I hit me daring! You estimate! I have everything in the video! Udaltsov hit the girl, guys, this is the most problematic ... ". All this is in a video called "Hurray! Udaltsov hit me! ”, Widely dispersed on the Internet. At this moment, judging by the certificate, she should have a concussion, which is accompanied by headache, nausea, vomiting, and malaise - up to loss of consciousness. But there are no signs of malaise on her face. During the initial physical examination, the doctor did not record her skin injuries, a serious diagnosis appeared only a day later. During this time, anything could happen, says Lawyer Udaltsova Violett Volkov: "Beat your own so that strangers are afraid."

The lawyer in this process did everything she could. In particular, I ordered a technical examination, according to the conclusion of which Video Pozdnyakova with the proposed blow has signs of installation. I introduced a scheme for the location of witnesses of the prosecution, from which we can conclude that they could not see the blow, because the review was blocked by a crowd or banners. She suggested Poznyakova to take a polygraph test due to the accused. She asked the court to re -conduct the forensics of Pozdnyakova, as the examination appointed by the court and the hasty examination left a lot of questions. But, it seems that if the lawyer even dragged the time of time and sent the judge back on April 21, then the sentence would be accusatory. At first, the judge kept within the framework of procedural norms, but in early June it seemed to spat on decency and drove the process to complete, rejecting all the defense petitions important to establish the truth. So the most interesting, perhaps, remains to be observed in the district court - the appeal instance, where the judicial investigation will have to be actually reduced.

For Pozdnyakova, the process became “a minute of glory”, and she used it quite successfully: she mastered the “press approach”, participated in cross-interrogations of witnesses, received organized support of associates who built in pickets and chanted “Anya! Hold on! " And "Anya! We are with you. " I won’t be surprised if now her public career goes on increasing - you have to pay for the service. However, the opposite can happen: it can be thrown away as developed material, and then the girl will regret that she got involved in this matter, especially since it is far from completed.

Udaltsov says that he has no personal hostility towards young Pozdnyakova, but he regrets that her parents, school and the “young guard” poorly raised her, since she begins her life with a lie. “Unfortunately, the judge Trofimova gave the“ green light ”to deceit and provocations, she gave a signal to the whole society: you can lie to make a career, and the court will support you,” Udaltsov says. He calls this whole process a political provocation directed against the civil opposition. Judging by the way the police, medicine, the court and the “young guard” acted harmoniously, this is likely.

Pozdnyakova is a student of the Ulyanovsk Higher School of Civil Aviation, the specialty - “Air Transport Manager”, but seems to be a novice journalist, at least, he was nested on the local “Road Radio”. With the glory that she created for herself, all potential respondents of this journalist want to advise: during the interview, ask her to move three meters, so that she then does not accuse you of an attempt to rape, and answer all her questions clearly and with the arrangement: “The young Guard of United Russia” is the movement of informers and provocateurs. ” Then turn around and leave quickly.
