On the faces of nonoris causa*

Human rights activist Lev Ponomarev was beaten in Moscow. Beaten, it seems to me, demonstratively. If they wanted to at least pretend that we were talking about hooliganism, then they would have taken away the wallet and the watch. In our case, alas, not the first time, we have an action from the category of “move aside, otherwise it will be worse.” Who could Lev Alexandrovich step on? Don't you know? I wasn’t involved in business, I didn’t lend money to anyone... And I didn’t borrow... Lev Ponomarev, let me remind you, heads the “For Human Rights” movement in Russia. We know how to deal with human rights... However, we also know people whose rights in Russia are all right.

The attack on Ponomarev is directly linked to his professional activities. His professional activities are known to many - those whose rights he protects as best he can, and those from whom he protects these rights. Many representatives of both categories find Ponomarev incredibly annoying. I’ll be honest, sometimes he annoys his fellow human rights activists, journalists, and everyone around him. But he does at least something to protect human rights, which formed the basis of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (I repeat myself endlessly), which became the basis for the existence of any state. And Russia signed this convention. And today, as a citizen of this country, I am incredibly ashamed of her in connection with the beaten Ponomarev. And I believe that the beating of Ponomarev is a recognition in the form of a massacre of the correctness of what he is doing. They are afraid of him. He does something that scares the authorities. But they don’t know other methods of confrontation; heredity, you know, is not the same.

I understand that finding a few freaks who can be given such a task is not a problem. It's inexpensive. But perhaps a small amount is not needed. People are just passing by on some slippery business. They are probably being held by some tender parts of their bodies. And they offer them a very stinking deal - no one will find out anything, but you will meet a friend and explain to him that you need to be quieter. However, I don’t want to intrude into the area of ​​immense and not always clear competence of Yulia Latynina, who, by the way, is also irritated by Ponomarev.

Other scenarios are probably possible. But if they ask me tomorrow, I will answer - on March 31, Ponomarev called me and asked me to sign a letter in support of Khodorkovsky. He also asked for the phone number of an artist who, from Ponomarev’s point of view, would be able to support Boris Nemtsov’s candidacy in the mayoral elections in Sochi. You see, I'm not hiding anything. My family heard the conversation and can confirm it. Ponomarev's number was identified on his mobile phone, request a printout from the mobile company. And I directly connect the beating of Ponomarev with his professional activities. And with the professional activities of his daughters, one of whom defends Pichugin, and the other - Platon Lebedev. And put this on the record, please. There's nothing to hide here. And you, in your constructed fucking vertical, figure out who gave the order. I would go to the very top. You say that the very top will not get dirty with such orders... You are lying! Our very top does not hesitate to fight with an individual citizen. This is convincingly proven by Mr. Sechin, who is naturally aware of the story with Natalya Morar. This proves... again Mr. Sechin, who is at war with citizen Khodorkovsky. This proves the presence of the scum that gave the order to beat Marina Litvinovich - remember? This is proven by the state of health of Mikhail Beketov, who was beaten in Khimki. This is proven by the death of Sergei Protazanov from the newspaper “Civil Consent”. This is proven by the death of Anna Politkovskaya. This is proven by the death of Alexander Litvinenko... Sergei Yushenkov... The psychiatric hospital of Larisa Arap... Not one or two deaths of the National Bolsheviks... A search in the St. Petersburg “Memorial”, where the people are working like crazy. These are all examples of a specific struggle against specific people, united by a certain civic vector.

And here are a few lines for reproaches and wishes. Where are you, leaders of the oldest post-Soviet parties? I have no personal hope for the responsibility that the head of the Moscow City Internal Affairs Directorate, Vladimir Pronin, took upon himself for the investigation of Ponomarev’s case. But you, gentlemen, at least say “meow” already!

I also want to appeal to those who carry out criminal orders set out in hints and clauses. Finally, get scared! Request verbal confirmation! Because in the worst case scenario, you will be the one to blame! Do you need this? Those who carefully explain to you that you need to find the perpetrators and beat this one, kill that one - they will all betray you at the first breeze and will also receive a reward for this... Don’t believe me? Look at the investigative and execution cases of the glorious falcons of the Stalinist NKVD... I understand that the vertical has not yet been built to such an extent that it is for fear, and not for specific dividends... But dividends are, maybe tomorrow... Or maybe never. And exchanging small pieces after negotiations with a PACE representative or the US President is not a question for those who have built a vertical. And heads will roll - yours. Don't mess with me! Get sick or be late for work.
