Day of Anastasia Rybachenko

April 17 - Solidarity Day with Anastasia Rybachenko , one of the 27 defendants in the “swamp business” - the most massive and most loud political criminal case of recent years.

Status: The prosecution is charged under Part 2 of Art. 212 of the Criminal Code.

Enforced on the federal wanted list on September 11, 1991.

A political emigrant, forced to live in the city of Tallinn (Estonia).

Anastasia Rybachenko is 21 years old, born in Moscow. She studied at the faculty of political science of the State Academic University of the Humanities of the Russian Academy of Sciences, but in the 4th year, after leaving Russia, was expelled. He adheres to levoliberal views, since February 2009 it has been in the united democratic movement "Solidarity".

Nastya joined in active opposition activities in the summer of 2009, joining the campaign to collect signatures for nomination of candidates in the Moscow City Duma from the Jolidarity movement. Having headed the youth committee of the Moscow branch in April 2010, Nastya organized dozens of shares: she hung banners and stretch marks, stood in single pickets, exposed the buyers of absenteeism, edited the website of the Moscow Solidarity branch, issued information ballots. Despite her young age, she became one of the recognized leaders of the Moscow opposition movement.

On May 6, 2012, Nastya was detained and sentenced to 5 days of administrative arrest on May 6, 2012, after which she decided to temporarily leave Russia, fearing repressions. Intuition did not fail her - on July 11, 2012 a search was held in her apartment, and on October 3 it became known that she was put on the federal wanted list on the basis of police officers and was accused of participating in the so -called mass riots.

At present, Anastasia Rybachenko is in forced emigration in Estonia, where she entered the Tallinn Technical University for the specialty "International Relations".

Anastasia Rybachenko about a rally on May 6 on Bolotnaya Square and about her criminal case:

“Then I was detained in general in a cafe after the action. I called Navalny to find out what kind of police department they were. My phone, apparently, was listened to and found out by a signal in which cafe I am. 10 minutes after the call, the police entered the cafe and only me arrested all visitors. They put one in a car zak and taken to the police station. When I was judged, it was clear that they wanted to give me and another person for 5 days, although the rest in our site was given one day or immediately released ”

“When I left the insulator after May 6, having served 5 days, I already knew for sure that I would have to temporarily switch to, my kind,“ underground ”position. I warned the associates about this, but they tried to convince me that it was unreasonable. It was very difficult to stand on your own. I really guessed that the arrests would begin, because what happened in Russia on May 6, I had already seen in Belarus in December 2010: the authorities arranged a provocation in order to then arrest people under this pretext. Our power is in peaceful resistance, because people who simply go to the square with quite fair requirements, to beat, and even more so to plant them is wildness. Therefore, the authorities specifically arranged such a situation: in the terrible heat they created a crush in the square, while the leaders were detained, as a result, no one managed a rally - all this led to a panic and turned into what we all saw. It is clear that the authorities did this only in order to get a carte blanche for arrests. ”
