The Sea of ​​Azov is plowed by Russian border guards, dressed in pirates

The Sea of ​​Azov is furious by Russian border guards, dressed in pirates. Two months after the tragedy, Russia and Ukraine did not take up the joint investigation of its causes and consequences. Why? The answer was searched for by their own correspondents of Novaya Gazeta in Kyiv and Rostov-on-Don.

Two months after the tragedy (“The Azovskaya War,” “New Gazeta”, August 7, 2013) Russia and Ukraine did not take up a joint investigation of its causes and consequences. Why? The answer was searched for by their own correspondents of Novaya Gazeta in Kyiv and Rostov-on-Don.

The climax (collision or ram?) And the episode when Mangust makes an arc, moving away from the scene, there are no records on the record. But it was shot, as after the impact, the team runs out onto the deck, examines the sides, throws a life buoy towards the person, whose head is still visible above the water. (Four will die in a boat, the bodies of two will not be found right away.) The operator asks: "Do we have a holes?" It seems that the operator on the ship is a guest, he is unprofessional fixes the process. According to the regulations, the video recorder must be shot. I would like to know if the suspicion was justified that border guards combined combat duty with a walking picnic flight.

A plot of 11 minutes 22 seconds hit the TV channel. Although in the report on the discovery of signs of a crime of July 18, 2013, compiled by the deputy head of the inquiry and administrative practice department of the FSB of the Russian Federation for the Krasnodar Territory, the captain of justice A.G. Smetankin, noted: the Russian border boiler noticed the Ukrainian boat at 18.10 local time, and the incident occurred at 18.28. (Copies of the materials of the criminal case are in the editorial office. - O. M.). Almost seven main minutes remained out of sight. The shooting was either deliberately interrupted, or were the personnel seized when the Russian side, within the framework of the upcoming joint investigation, transferred the material to Ukrainian colleagues?

Donetsk human rights activist Alexander Kudinov (in the process acts as a public defender of the citizen of Ukraine Alexander Fedorovich) told me that he had filed a request - to demand the video from direct authors and attach the case to the case materials.

- The Yeisk District Court satisfied the petition. However, the video has not yet been attached.

Of course, in Yeysk, the courts are not waiting for the border guards from the Mangust, but the surviving Ukrainian. He is charged with poaching, the article involves imprisonment for a period of two years. On September 3, the case was sent for an additional investigation to the department of inquiry and administrative practice of the border control of the FSB in the Krasnodar Territory. The cassation appeal of lawyers on the decision on the initiation of a criminal case is rejected.

The director of the Department of Information Policy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Evgeny Perebiinis approved at a briefing: “Fedorovich is in Yeysk at large. Officials of the Consulate General of Ukraine in Rostov-on-Don systematically visit him and maintain contact with representatives of local bodies. ” To tell the truth that freedom is limited to a non-place that repatriations from Russia to Ukraine have not achieved, and one hundred dollars transferred by the consul as hello from the homeland have long been spent by Alexander Fedorovich to pay for a removable hut-make-up and necessary after surgery, the language did not turn out to the diplomat ... They did not even give the effect in Moscow, on September 12-11, at the level of directors consular services. Now they are going to raise the question at a meeting of foreign ministers.

On July 22, the military investigative department of the IC of the Russian Federation for the Krasnodar garrison opened a criminal case on the fact of a collision in the Sea of ​​the Russian Border Border boat "Mangust" and the Ukrainian boat (Article 352 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Violation of the rules of shipbuilding"). The team (at least so said the investigator Marina Nikolaeva, the civil wife of Alexander Fedorovich) was placed in the barracks under arrest. However, today no interested person or structure in Ukraine knows what happened next. And whether it was at all.

Human rights activist Kudinov, for example, is sure: the border guards were not held accountable, they continue to serve. In confirmation, the story of Alexander Fedorovich, who recently met in Yeysk, one of the border guards from Mangust, presumably, presumably, the commander of the boat. This man allegedly came to intensive care with the FSB investigator, helped in the interrogation of Fedorovich. He threatened: if the wounded does not sign the confession, he will be “sent home with his comrades” - the bodies were in the morgue ...

Here is the list of the crew: Bukatov Evgeny Viktorovich, acting commander of the boat; Pryzov Vladimir Yuryevich, assistant commander; Savenko Sergey Vladimirovich, senior technician; Gerasimik Dmitry Alexandrovich, technician. The positions of the rest are D.S. Tarasova, A.V. Ternavsky, I.G. Yakovlev - are still unknown.

There is a crime, but there are no specific persons

The representative of the Military Investigation Department of the IC of the Russian Federation for the Southern Military District answered the questions of the "New"

As for the liability of the border guards who were on board on board the Mangust boat, in July, short information was held on the initiation of a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under Art. 352 of the Criminal Code (violation of the rules of shipbuilding). This article provides for a punishment up to seven years in prison if it is proved that violations of the rules of driving or exploitation of a military vessel entailed the death of a person or other grave consequences by negligence.

As the investigator in particularly important cases of the military investigative department of the RF IC for the Southern Military District Diana Elovskaya, he initiated and initially conducted the military investigative department of the RF IC for the Krasnodar garrison, which is territorially located closer to the scene. But then the case was referred to the Armed Forces of the IC of the Russian Federation in the South Swovka.

-In certain cases, criminal procedure legislation provides for the possibility of transferring the investigation of a criminal case from a lower instance to a higher. We are interested in the particularly careful clarification of all the circumstances of the incident that happened on July 17, ”said Ms. Elovskaya.

When asked about the detention of border guards who formed the Mangust’s boat that evening, she answered as follows:

- A criminal case was instituted on the grounds of a crime, and not against specific persons.

From which it is probably that no one was going to detain the border guards.

The management, referring to the secret of the investigation, refused to comment on the video, which was shown on Ukrainian television.

The investigation itself began on July 22, 2013. Now investigators are waiting for the results of various (including forensic medical) examinations and believe that it is premature to talk about the estimated end of the investigation.
