Putin figured out the Reznik

The City Court of St. Petersburg recognized the arrest of the leader of the local branch of the Yabloko party Maxim Reznik, accused of beating and insulting three police officers. Despite the fact that the prosecutor Vasyukov insisted on the need to maintain the leader of the St. Petersburg "apple trees" in custody, the court decided to release him and send the case for a new consideration. The supporters of Reznik, who were present in the hall, slammed their hands and screamed “Hurray!”.

Before the meeting, the bailiffs did not want to let the Commissioner of the Human Rights in the Northern capital of Vladimir Lukin, citing the fact that lawyers and the press should enter the first, and then all the “other people”, reports Fontanka.ru.

Reznik himself was not in the courtroom. He participated in a meeting through video communication from pre -trial detention center No. 4, where he spent almost three weeks. Now Reznik is released, but the process in his case will continue. The opposition is still threatening five years in prison.

Recall that Maxim Reznik was detained on the night of March 2 to 3 while trying to try to intervene in the fight of one of the participants in the march of disagreements and police. According to Reznik, he saw how unknown people staged a fight with the former member of Yabloko Sergey Indiancom, tried to stop the brawl, but was detained. On that day, several more people were arrested in St. Petersburg. By the decision of the Dzerzhinsky Federal Court, he was arrested. During the court hearing, the state prosecution insisted that Reznik was drunk, insulted the police and hit one of them, to which the defense replied that Reznik did not go through an examination of the state of intoxication, and it was impossible to judge this unfounded. Moreover, Reznik did not fight, but was a fight. This did not convince the court that considered that Reznik could "influence the victims of his political authority." At the same time, the judge ignored the guarantee signed by 25 politicians and journalists who asked not to arrest as a preventive measure.

On March 7, Reznik was charged under two articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: 319th (insulting a representative of power) and 318th (the application of violence against a representative of the authorities). Moreover, in the end, the number of police officers beaten by the party activist increased from one to three. Supporters of Reznik held a series of single pickets in his support in St. Petersburg and Moscow, the police of participants in these pickets detained and converted to departments.

The loud news was the ban on Maxim Reznik, who was in the pre -trial detention center, meet his mother Galina Malinovskaya. At the same time, as Malinovskaya herself said, it seemed to her that the investigator was very nervous about the attention from the media and complains that "this interferes with his work."

The liberation of Reznik from the arrest had its own background. Recall that on March 11, the leader of Yabloko Grigory Yavlinsky met with Vladimir Putin and after this meeting said that the president promised to personally deal with the Reznik case. After the liberation of the leader of the St. Petersburg Yablons, the deputy of Yavlinsky, the deputy of the Moscow City Duma Sergey Mitrokhin told Interfax: “This result was brought by the strategy that we have chosen, that is, the use of all possible means: various public actions and legal actions. But, apparently, the decisive impulse to release was most likely a meeting of the leader of Yabloko Grigory Yavlinsky with President Vladimir Putin, where, among other things, this issue was discussed. ”

We also note that Yavlinsky’s conversation with Putin was the reason for the exacerbation of the “intra -block” conflict. Soon after the meeting with the president, the leader of Yabloko gave an interview to Marianne Maksimovskaya on Ren TV, which Daniil Kotsubinsky categorically did not like the Petersburg Yabloko member. He suspected that Yavlinsky “entered into secret negotiations with the head of the political regime” and the rod of these negotiations, according to Kotsyubinsky, was the problem of the return of Yavlinsky “to big politics”.

Kotsyubinsky came to such conclusions because Yavlinsky left the direct answer to Maksimov’s question: “Did the president offer you some new position?” In this regard, Kotsyubinsky urged his like -minded people to “demand from Yavlinsky either to immediately get out of the process of secret negotiations with the Kremlin and tell in detail the party to the content of the meeting, or to leave the post of chairman of Yabloko. However, Kotsubinsky did not find special support. The temporarily acting chairman of the St. Petersburg Yabloko, Mikhail Amosov, called the letter of his colleague untimely and too sharp. “Nothing good of this letter came out and will not come out,” he said. In his opinion, the actions of Yavlinsky just recently not deserve to be incurred by such criticism.

Note that the sluggish conflict of the federal and St. Petersburg “Yabloko” has been going on for some time. A similar scandal around Yavlinsky’s name flared up in immediately after the parliamentary elections unsuccessful for the “apple”, it was Maxim Reznik that the party should be reformed at the federal level. Reznik promised at the next Congress of Yabloko to raise the question of the possibility of changing Grigory Yavlinsky to another leader. He was supported by the leader of the Yabloko youth, Ilya Yashin, but this initiative then also did not find sufficient support.

The reason for the disagreements within the party could be, including the unwillingness of Yavlinsky to cooperate with the “Digows”, while many ordinary “Yablons”, mainly young, today participate in the “other Russian marchs” organized by “other Russia”.
