No way to hush it up

The trial in the Sychev case began with a demand to make it closed. The lawyer of the accused Sivyakov insists on this, and the lawyer also demands that Sychev’s early testimony be removed from the case, arguing that it was given under medicinal influence. Sychev's relatives insist on an open trial. The mother of a crippled soldier wants everyone to know about her son's tragedy. She hopes that a public hearing of the case will change at least something in the Russian army.
