On February 28, the Basmanny Court of Moscow changed Alexei Navalny subscription about the defect of the house arrest 
It is known that Alexei Navalny is especially good not in minutes of painful thoughts, but just in business. So this time he was good in court: for some reason, black sports shoes without laces looked especially elegant, and his burgundy sweater without undertakings was the only bright spot in the largest hall of the Basmanny Court, which fucked Navalny under a tough house arrest until the end of the investigation of the Iv Rocher. Everyone was ready for this outcome, but the defense of argumentation brought Judge Arthur Karpov to an offensive breakdown.
An elegant man in an excellent expensive suit, clearly sewn to order from a good tailor, entered the Hall, - the man was like a hereditary millionaire from the Old World, who had just returned from the golf championship. Considering the ideal cut of a jacket, I did not immediately realize that this is Judge Karpov - experienced in political affairs, cynical and especially caustic. And I recognized him only by one characteristic feature-the hairstyle a la Fedor Bondarchuk. In the mantle, Judge Karpov does not look so impressive.
The meeting began, at some point the radio cracked over my ear: “Boar, wild boar, I am Murmansk, answer Murmansk!” I raised my head and saw that a pretty brunette-stall was holding a walkie-talkie, who obviously did not find anything like that in the call sign “wild boar”.
Navalny’s lawyers stated a discharge to Judge Karpov because of his personal interest in this case - he already considered Navalny’s affairs, and they complained about him, but the request for the withdrawal was rejected, and it had never been otherwise. Judge Karpov led the process without restraining his smiles: everything was clear to him, and the investigator Roman Nesterov very much helped him in contrast to the practically absent prosecutor, which is traditional. He even presented a certificate from the counterintelligence department of the FSB that Navalny was criminally leased an ATV. "

“It was quickly discovered that what Navalny was accused of-a violation of the non-exemption subscription-this is nonsense, since the investigator’s decree said that Navalny could visit Moscow and the Moscow Region, and Navalny did not go anywhere further than the investigator’s permission. Here Arthur Karpov flared up, accusing Navalny and his lawyers of ignorance of the law. He did this. As a result, Karpov began to speak irritably, immediately ceasing to be like a millionaire: “It is necessary to notify the investigation by phone, and not so, but you noticed in writing! Internet ”, and from visitors to allow only close relatives to him and - especially - mother -in -law.
"This is a triumph of mother -in -law!" - Philosophically commented on Navalny, who respects mother -in -law, but would also want to communicate with the employees of the Corruption Fund. But no. “It is impossible with them,” the investigator snapped, “because most of them go on the case and there will still be questions, or even answers.”
House arrest of Navalny actually means an attempt - perhaps successful - isolate it not only from associates, but also from important political processes. Among which the elections to the Moscow City Duma are not the most important milestone.
If Navalny copes with the airless information space and can save himself offline (and such opportunities remain), then we will see the new Navalny, and not only him, we can see a new force. But there is no court to ner.
