Sparta in the Moscow City Court

On August 8, Judge Nikishin removed the mother of the “Prisoner of Bolotnaya” by Nikolai Caucasian from the courtroom. In protest, the whole audience left the hall

Alexandra Dukhanin and her husband, to whom Judge Nikishina forbade her to move

On the “Swamp process”, a monthly marathon of viewing video and reading protocols on its inspection by the investigator Gurkin continues. This dear man has repeatedly seen on the screen what is not, and carefully ignored what is. Protection tries to resist this, but, of course, absolutely unsuccessfully. And the only word that could be characterized by what is happening in court could be helplessness. No one is able to make an internal decision on how to proceed. And even the release of Nikolai Caucasian under house arrest does not cause any feelings that there were some improvements. Here is a sweet and comfortable Sparta. Fluffy.

On Thursday, August 8, Eduard Limonov came to us. I met Nikolai Caucasian. They spread their impressions of the prison, and at that moment I remembered that even though I have no freedom, but I have no experience of prison either. It is impossible to explain what freedom is in our country. Here, freedom is food and housing, not an internal state. The whole system of punishment is built not to take freedom from a person (there is nothing to take away), but to take away the last dignity from a person. In a Russian prison, a person can take a shower only once a week, eats incomprehensible food, and he has no personal space. The shower is usually cold. The purpose of the prison is constant incessant humiliation. In the pre -trial detention center there is not even the right to a pill from a sore head. Well, freedom that freedom: “Everyone lives like that, everyone has been sitting in the cities for years. Yes, you generally live in Moscow, what to complain about? Did you want to go to Turkey? And how did we work at the factory!? " - And half of the country desperately wants to change with Anders Breivik places, discussing his three -room camera and study. Nobody needs freedom here.

After the start of the hearing, everyone is doing their own business. Zimin and Lutskevich solve the crossword puzzle, Polikhovich reads the notes on political science. The rest of the defendants in aquariums are also busy reading or notes.

The most striking video of Thursday was this: a group of police with sadistic pleasure throws a rally in a puddle of urine and feces, at that moment one well -known young photojournalist runs up to them and begins to photograph a person who is rolled in excrement with scientific pedantry. All this composition is shot by the video unknown to us. And after all, all participants in the event "simply did their work."

The judge is the best and professional prosecutor of all I have ever met-rejected all the petitions. The judge has never agreed with the defendants and their defense. We were refused:

in the call of the investigator who knows everyone so well, but no one knows him except me;

in the exception of the evidence of videos that are not even turned on, it is impossible to watch them (in general, all this process is some kind of continuous anti-advertisement of the Windows operating system and optical carriers);

in making a remark to the bailiffs who commented on the video of the sadistic inclinations of the police with the following words: “So it, right in the pike”;

in the move of Alexandra Dukhanina, who is under house arrest, to her husband;

In the allocation of the prosecutor due to the lack of normal human qualities.

Sasha Dukhanina was not allowed to live with her husband. Most of the lawyers and defendants did not show solidarity when Leonid Kovyazin - probably the most calm and unprofitable defendant - said the prosecutor after her statement that there was no reason to live her husband and wife in the same apartment.

Before that, it seemed that one should try to behave with dignity in unworthy conditions. But now it is already clear that any consistency with judicial and prosecutors is cowardice. Probably about the ethics of a coward, which is a code of honor in this society, and it is worth writing the next time.
