Why and how illegally devoid of freedom Ildar Dadin left the Russian prison

The gloomy February 2017 brought one joyful news: Ildar Dadin, the first convicted under Article 212.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (repeated violation of the established procedure for organizing or holding a meeting, rally, demonstration, procession or picket), and was released. And not after the deadline, but due to the fact that the senior courts of Russia established: Dadina was illegally deprived of freedom, he has the right to rehabilitation. In less than a few days after the liberation of Ildar from the colony, as the head of the Supreme Court of Russia, Vyacheslav Lebedev said that Article 212.1 should be canceled. What happened in the Russian state?

It is necessary to admit: if it were not for Ildar Dadin , then an article introduced in July 2014 in the Criminal Code of Russia on the punishment of citizens for repeatedly for six months, participation in public actions unauthorized by the authorities would exist now.

Ildar Dadin defeated the Russian Gulag in his version of the early 21st century with his desperate courage. At first he provoked a criminal law to act in relation to himself: several times in a row (August 6, August 23, September 13, December 5, 2014, January 15, 2015), he took part in public actions that were not agreed upon by the authorities, strictly under the 31st article of the Constitution: I am a citizen, I have the right to personally, without weapons, hold meetings, rallies and demonstrations, rally, rallies, rallies, rallies. processions and pickets to express your personal opinion.

Dadin deliberately caused fire on himself.

The Tver District Court of Moscow consistently issued decisions to bring him to administrative responsibility, then the Moscow City Court rejected Dadin's complaints and left decisions on punishment in force.

As soon as the facts of three in a row of administrative offenses were established by the court, without waiting for the court decision to enter into force, the Basmanny District Court of Moscow on January 30, 2015, the proceedings on the next administrative offense terminated and sent the case to the preliminary investigation body. On April 29, 2015, the senior investigator of the territorial body of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation against Ildar Dadin opened a criminal case under Article 212.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation due to his participation on December 5, 2014 in an undivisive procession on Myasnitskaya Street.

Further, the punitive machine earned inevitably.

The verdict of the Basmanny District Court of Moscow dated December 7, 2015 Ildar Dadin was found guilty of repeatedly violating the established procedure for holding a meeting, rally, demonstration, march and picket, and he was sentenced to three years in prison with serving in a penal colony of general regime.

The appeal resolution of the Moscow City Court of March 31, 2016 the punishment imposed by the court of first instance was reduced to two and a half years in prison.

By a decision of the judge of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of December 19, 2016, in a revision of the indicated sentence of the Basmanny District Court of Moscow and the appeal resolution of the Moscow City Court, it was refused.

Since December 7, 2015, Ildar Dadin was deprived of freedom. His condemnation to real deprivation of liberty caused a shock and - for so many - fear.

It was precisely for this that it was conceived (they say that at the initiative of Vyacheslav Volodin when he was the head of the administration of the President of the Russian Federation), this cruel article: the authorities openly decided to frighten citizens and did this with the example of Ildar Dadin.

But Ildar Dadin remained in prison. Just as he went with his bare hands on the political bear who was brutalized from the omnipotence in 2014-2015, just the same he reacted to the situation with the rights of the Russian Uffer Karelia (Segezha) of the Russian correctional colony No. 7.

The Medusa publication on November 1, 2016 published a detailed and monstrous letter of Dadin, which was transferred through a lawyer in his details, about the application of physical strength and torture in IK-7 to him and other prisoners. The details of the terrible truth were recognizable for everyone who is familiar with order in Russian prisons and colonies.

The administration of the colony, the FSIN, the Investigative Committee denied illegal violence, including in the answers to deputy requests. The SC of the SK in the Republic of Karelia came to the conclusion that “the commission of crimes by IK-7 officials in relation to I. I. Dadin, based on the results of the procedural audit, did not find confirmation, in connection with which on November 30, 2016 it was decided to refuse to institute criminal proceedings, while“ the legality and validity of the adopted procedural decision by the investigation and the prosecutor were verified, ”the head wrote me on January 17, 2017, the head wrote me on January 17, 2017 Department of Procedural Control of the Investigative Committee of the SK Karelia, Justice Colonel Arthur Klimuk .

A month before, on December 16, 2016, the deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia Valery Maksimenko confirmed to me that physical strength and special tools (handcuffs) were applied to Dadin, but called the “malicious disobedience to the IK-7” from the convicted person, while the investigative department of the SEG CARELIA, “violations of the requirements of the law when applying to the convicted person There are no physical strength and special means. ”

Representatives of the FSIN called Dadin a “talented hoax”, and the former and current prisoners from IK-7 confirmed the media that everything told by Dadin was a terrible truth.

Suddenly, for all Dadin, they secretly took out of the Karelian IK-7 on December 2, 2016, and no one-neither relatives nor lawyers-knew nothing about his whereabouts until January 8, 2017 he was discovered in the IK-5 of the Federal Penitentiary Service in the Altai Territory.

Everything seemed hopeless.

But the fighting on all fronts, Dadin back in 2016, filed (through his lawyers) complaint about the unconstitutionality of Article 212.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to the Constitutional Court of Russia.

On January 24, 2017, a complaint consideration began, and on February 10, the court made a decision: an article by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is constitutional, but needs to adjust the uncertainty of the punitive norm, and Dadin himself is subject to liberation, the decision to deprive his freedom - cancellation, since at the time of conviction the third decision on administrative recovery did not enter into force.

The illegality of the condemnation of Dadin was obvious initially, but the system fulfilled a cruel political decision. She decided to break Dadina.

And it is quite obvious that Dadin achieved not only another legal, but also other political decision. He pulled him out.

On February 22, the Presidium of the Supreme Court of Russia, fulfilling the decision of the Constitutional Court, canceled the sentence to Ildar Dadin and decided to release him.

Dadin demanded that he be taken to the Supreme Court for personal participation in the hearing, he was refused, he refused to participate in the meeting through teletranslation and communicate thus with the court.

If he was in the building of the Supreme Court on February 22, he would be immediately released from custody. And at that moment when the Supreme Court announced his decision, from the room in the Altai IK-5, where Dadin was located, the UFSIN employee allegedly accidentally left and supposedly for this reason did not have the opportunity to personally hear an acquittal. And “due to the lack of a decision on paper” and the lack of “personal certificate” of the FSIN employee illegally deprived of Dadin's freedom, even after the announcement of the decision of the Supreme Court, was not released from the colony.

Many believe that the reason for these “incidents” is not accidental: perhaps someone really did not want to see Ildar Dadin on the march of Boris Nemtsov’s memory in Moscow on February 26.

As a result, in the age of the Internet and all other telecommunications, the decision of the Supreme Court of Russia was delivered to Barnaul by a cigarette bond, that is, a popular one.

The paper was brought exactly on February 26, and Dadin was released.

And then completely miracles began: at first the Commissioner for Human Rights, the former police general Tatyana Moskalkova (personally coming to Dadin in Segezha after a scandal with his letter of torture), said on February 27 that she did not see the meaning of Article 212.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, and then on February 28 the same “personal opinion” was expressed by the chairman of the Supreme Court Vyacheslav Lebedev .

It may turn out that Vyacheslav Volodin, who initiated the emergence of a brutal article in the Criminal Code three years ago, as the head of the presidential administration, will cancel it, being the chairman of the State Duma.

Moreover: the Prosecutor General’s Office canceled the decision of the Investigative Committee on the refusal to initiate a criminal case on the facts of the application of physical strength and torture in relation to Dadin. Nobody was waiting for this at all.

Thaw?

Of course not.

The Russian authorities can today make any decision that they want, they did not need human rights and freedoms either in 2014 or now.

But Ildar Dadin, a desperate citizen, broke the plans of a huge state car, designed for submissive and silent. Dadin did not submit and did not shut up. He - one - went to board and made a hole in the praised ship, figuratively speaking, his head. He pierced his head with a wall.

The jaws unclenched, the wall sprinkled. Not because the authorities are beneficial, but because the garrison of the lack of freedom was not fully included in the calculation of the fortress of lack of freedom, shaking the walls of the Russian prison with his personal desperate effort. This system is not designed for brave, it is designed for submissive. On Ildar Dadin, the system was mistaken.

The authorities did not retreat to the people. They retreated to one person who showed that he was ready to die for freedom. For ours and your freedom. They are panicky afraid of such people.

There are almost no such. There was one, got up, went straight - and the barracks collapsed. The exception destroyed the rule. The shackles fell.

Another person appeared in Russia whose name will be written on the wreckage of autocracy.
