So far there is no will in sight

The defense of the former GRU colonel will be able to request a trial by jury only after completing familiarization with the materials of the case, which began just a couple of days ago. The day before, lawyers filed a petition with the Basmanny Court to release Kvachkov from custody to participate in the campaign for the by-election of State Duma deputies, but most likely it will be rejected. In the meantime, the Central Election Commission proposed to proceed from the existing circumstances and, for example, to film a propaganda video right within the pre-trial detention center.
