The head of the analytical department of the Center for Political Technologies, Alexei Makarkin, called the current decision of the Meshchansky court in the “Shakhnovsky case” with a landmark. “Thus, the state has demonstrated that it is not going to destroy the defendants in the Yukos case morally, sending them to ITL, but it will achieve their conviction. It is clear that today the Prosecutor General’s Office was boldly set to himself in front of Shakhnovsky’s name, the task has been successfully sentenced - it was the number of convictions that is an indicator of the quality of her work. And the fact that the accusations were sentenced to the case The verdict, although he, unlike other defendants in the Yukos case, has a lot of advantages - repaid debt, a state award, relatively “minor business”, the presence of minor children, says that the rest will definitely not be more softer. ”
Makarenko also believes that Shakhnovsky will not overtake the court’s decision: “It is over that he reserved such an opportunity, but it is unlikely that the Prosecutor General’s Office, in turn, can give a protest. And the court will take this dispute.
