"Two". Sit down

"Not the worst and not the best." The detention of a member of the PMC, a crocodile of the ladder, the death of the convicted person for terrorism, the 2018 World Cup, hip-hop and the strange arrest of the former deputy head of security: the everyday life of one individual Russian colony-the Yekaterinburg IK-2-in the photographs of Sergey Lostev, messages of the local press, the reviews of human rights activists and the comments of the regional Gufsins.

IK-2 is located in the very center of Yekaterinburg , next to the Central Stadium, which is preparing to accept the matches of the World Cup in 2018. In December 2012, when detaining the prisoner, the colony employees opened fire. One of the bullets issued, as reported in the GU FSIN, "fell into a nearby shopping center." The note dedicated to the incident, the Ural edition Znak.com was entitled : “And if tomorrow the World Cup?”

In 2012, several IK-2 prisoners united in the Hip-Hop Group De Facto , which rehearses and performs here, in the colony. “The musical group was formed in IK-2 of the convicts who were fond of this musical course at large. All texts (recitatives) that sounded in HIP-Hop Non Stop mode were written by the convicts themselves. It should be noted that in all texts a desire for rethinking and changing their lifestyle and a strong desire to confront the negativity both within oneself and in the surrounding reality was clearly expressed, ”the De facto concert on the Sverdlovsk State Unitary Enterprise concert said . The concert was organized by the “Institution administration and officers of the educational department,” the press service emphasized.

At the end of April, the Russian media began to fly around life-affirming news: the one of the employees of the regional GU FSIN gave the institution to the institution in IK-2. The animal is kept in a botanical garden with a colony along with turtles, aquarium fish, parrots and a crocodile nicknamed Lostik.

IK-2 was mentioned in connection with rallies in Sosva , whose inhabitants protested against the closure of two city-forming colonies. It is known that the head of the Sosvensky city district, Alexei Safonov, asked the regional authorities to transfer the institution into a notorious village. “They want to transfer the colony of power themselves, and we have the whole infrastructure - repairs and import prisoners,” he told Kommersant.

The head of the press service of the State Unitary Enterprise in the Sverdlovsk region Alexander Levchenko: “Nobody directly addressed us. This is bloggers, you know, wrote on the Internet. This is just to print something in order to attract attention. Everything was fine in Sosva, everything was fine, there was nothing wrong there, the story was clearly promoted. The colony in Sosva does not close, but are canned - several FSIN employees will be on duty there. Suddenly something will change. "

The site “Need-advocat.rf”, which collects reviews about correctional institutions in the heading “House”, characterizes the Yekaterinburg IK-2 as follows: “The people are called the“ deuce ”among the local population, it is considered one of the most“ red ”zones in the management. The colony became famous for numerous scandals associated with torture and mockery of prisoners. IK-2 is located in two public transport stops from the main square of the city-1905 square. It’s quite easy to get to the institution. ”

Member of the PMC in the Sverdlovsk region Vyacheslav Bashkov: “A year ago they tried to arrest me before checking IK-2 and dragged me by force to the territory of this institution without explanation. I stood not far from the IR and waited for a partner for the light of Malyugin, and they grab me and drag me. Right where I would go in a few minutes in a few minutes, but with a partner. I tried to find out why, but they were silent, and then they said that I allegedly photographed IK-2, which, of course, was not. There is still such a moment-IK-2 is located in the center of Yekaterinburg and is surrounded by at least three architectural monuments of constructivism, that is, there are people with cameras to the line, but for some reason they detain an observer who wins in this colony. ”

Vyacheslav Bashkov: “In IK-2 scare those who are under investigation and do not admit guilt-there is a item that functions in the mode of the investigative insulator (PFRSI), where they translate the“ difficult ”deciduous people who suddenly abandon lawyers and begin to take guilty. PFRSI is combined with the SHISO IK-2 in one building, and there are the daytime of the convicts. Probably, it is after communicating with them that the priorities are changing, and they cease to protect themselves. ”

Vyacheslav Bashkov: “In 2013, we went with the regional deputy Artyukh in IK-2 to visit Maxim Petlin , went to the schizo, where we found a piece of bread punished for a prone to a production site in torn clothes. The cruel disproportionate punishment and humiliation is this given out by the prisoned torn clothes. ”

According to unconfirmed reports , in early April, the former deputy head of the IK-2 on security and operational work, Lieutenant Colonel of the Internal Service Mikhail Belousov was detained by the FSB officers. What Belousov is suspected, not reported; From the service, he quit two months earlier.

Alexander Levchenko: “Now new people have come to IK-2, the leadership is completely completely replaced, the leaders came from other institutions. And now, the second third month has been going on the process of changes - a new chapter has come, deputies have been reassigned. An objective assessment of the work of the previous leader is given. I can’t tell you who was detained and who not, do you understand? The ex-deputy head of the colony could be detained after a hundred years. Did it mean anything? Organizations that have been detained are better known who and for what. ”

Alexander Levchenko: “Last year, 88 criminal cases were instituted against the regional GU FSIN, on a variety of issues - corruption, bribery, and unlawful actions. The cases were investigated by our employees of the GU FSIN Office. So you heard, for example, that the former head of the IK-62 Alexander Gusev, accused of a bribe of 400 thousand rubles, was planted for 11 years of strict regime? And he was given a 24 millionth fine. Find me a larger term and a larger fine for a crime associated with receiving a bribe! And there are not one such employees. The process of denunciation of employees of the GU FSIN is constant, it does not stop. Over the past year and a half, 15% of the IR administrations have been updated. Hundreds of employees quit disciplinary order. ”

Alexander Levchenko: “Naturally, in each correctional institution during its work, and it is often about decades, there are problems. Members of the PMC find these problems not only in IK-2, but also in other colonies. They write: "The 52nd is a bad colony, the 53rd is a bad colony, and the fifth colony is not good at all." You can’t take it like that and say which colony is worse or better! But IK-2 in this list is not the worst and not the best. There are certain problems there, but everything that happened in this colony was thoroughly analyzed by the leadership of the GU FSIN. ”

Alexander Levchenko: “You must understand: we have more than eight thousand people in uniform. We have 32 thousand convicts and accused. This is a huge organism. Naturally, all people do not shine with some diamonds. As in any other organization, there are people who are not worthy to work here. ”

Member of the PMC in the Sverdlovsk region Vasily Rybakov: “I visited 24 colonies. In total, in the Sverdlovsk region there are 38 colonies. I am deeply sure that there is a violation of human rights in every colony, in each of them, employees can apply violence to prisoners. ”
