Russian, hand over

The loud trial in the case of the murder of lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova will decide the fate of not only the accused Nikita Tikhonov and Evgenia Hasis, but also their associates, Ilya Goryachev and Sergey Erzunov. But the main thing is the “new” judge Alexander Zamashnyuk and the jury (which they could not collect in January) will largely determine the future of all Russian nationalists. Or, at least, legal nationalist organizations that have tried to unite all last year, and now suddenly "Russian laid down Russian."

The Tikhonov-Hasis case since the beginning of preliminary hearings in the Moscow City Court (in January 2011) was accompanied by scandals and showdowns among Russian nationalists. The reason for this was the testimony of two witnesses - friends of Tikhonov Ilya Goryachev and Sergey Erzunov (on the basis of their testimony, the evidence base was built). From the protocols that appeared on the network, it follows that Tikhonov told Goryachev, as he tracked and killed Markelov and Baburov - an involuntary witness of the crime. The scandal warmed up the emerging details of Goryachev’s private life. According to all the same protocol records, a laptop was seized from the suspect, a complete gay-porno (by the standards of the homophobic environment of Russian nationalists-a disgrace from the shame). The Internet community is still buzzing about this and wonders whether Goryachev Peduramia suffers.

The “Russian image” tried to cool the situation, explaining the “plums” to Goryachev “discrediting and attempts to the collapse of one of the largest legal public organizations of Russian nationalists”. The coordinator of the Russian Verdict organization, a friend Tikhonov Alexei Baranovsky said that Goryachev was offered to choose - “pass” Tikhonov or forget about the future of the “image”. Baranovsky says that the protocols were published intentionally. Law enforcement agencies by any means needed to create a negative image of the defendants. But the associates of Goryachev reacted harshly - they declared him a traitor. In particular, Rod said that Goryachev betrayed people who considered him his friend and like -minded person, and further cooperation with the “Russian way” would be frozen. “The testimony of Goryachev is able to provide Tikhonov and Hasis for lifelong - or at least many years - imprisonment; In addition, they substitute other people. There is good reason to believe that Goryachev slandered his comrades, writing what the investigator and the prosecutor dictated him. But even if we assume that he told the truth - such behavior speaks of his unprincipled and moral value, ”Rod said in a statement.

The accused Tikhonov in a letter from the pre -trial detention center Lefortovo regrets the "next scandal inside the Russian movement." He writes that he was “very bitter from the fact that Goryachev betrayed our many years of friendship, attributing me all the conceivable crimes in which I want to accuse the guard.”

“I believe that I have not found the courage to confront the usual practice of threats and blackmail from the operatives, he will also not dare to come to court to tell the truth there. It’s insulting that other people were subjected to the reservation, ”Tikhonov is indignant. - Touching Erzunov, I think that it is impossible to put a cross on a person if he once smeared and signed under the opera lie. A conscientious person should be able to regain a good name with his actions. ” However, the lawyers Tikhonov and Hasis hope that Goryachev will appear on the court and publicly refute his testimony.

But if with the fate of Goryachev everything is more or less clear, the future of Tikhonov and Hasis depends on the decision of the jury (the first attempt to collect the collegium failed: only 18 people out of 60 invited were) and the “new” judge of the Moscow City Court-Alexander Zamashnyuk (it was he who decided to leave the accused behind bars until February 19, 2011). Judge Lyubov Nikolenko took self today. According to the lawyer Zherebenkov, this decision may be connected with her anxiety for her life. “Moreover, everyone has heard the story of the murder of judge Eduard Chuvashov” (Judge of the Moscow City Court conducted the affairs of the nationalists, he was shot on April 12, 2010).

One way or another, the Tikhonov-Hasis process has already influenced the position of nationalist organizations. The community of Russian nationalists, before that, could not be called homogeneous - but now the civil strife has intensified.

If the mosgor court verdict is indictment, this will lead to the total split of Russian nationalists. In addition, if Tikhonov is condemned, there will be a reason to control not only to control, but also to manage Russian nationalists - to carry out, if you like, the National Project “controlled nationalism” (and such attempts have already been). Of course, this is not enough for one case by Tikhonov and Hasis (it has exclusively social significance). To do this, it is necessary to control, for example, by street radicals-beo-bio -eviks or a crowd of fans in the square-riot police and counterintelligence come to the rescue.
