Clean? Policy!
A trash at Echo of Moscow was a program in which Yuri Schmidt infinitely respected by me defended the idea that the Khodorkovsky case was a purely political process. They argued with him, respectively. According to the results of this program, I want to draw some conclusions.
First of all, about what a clean or not very clean policy is. The political process is a process carried out with a violation of the principle of legality. This principle was first formulated in an explicit form by Anselm Feuerbach in the Bavarian Criminal Code of 1813 in the form of a claim so that punishment is imposed only for the crime provided for by the Criminal Law and only on the basis of the current criminal law. That is, for example, if a person is judged for the transition of the road in the wrong place, and took him for participating in the unauthorized by the authorities, but the rally allowed by the constitution. Hello everyone from Harry Kasparov, Leo Ponomarev and others.
All advanced armed arbitrars know that Khodorkovsky is allegedly guilty of “blood on the hands”, the predatory privatization of popular wealth, and generally get rich as he got rich, honestly cannot be. And he financed parties that opposed the “One”, wanted to go to politics in 2008 and further everywhere. Then why is he judged for theft of oil? Because there is no law, according to which one can judge for the desire to go to politics. And for blood - there is no evidence. And you have to judge. Who needs it? Why is it necessary? So we got to the bottom. When someone needs to be judged, it doesn’t matter why the process becomes political. You ask again, what about Al Capone? And also for sure. There was no evidence on him, but there was a need to stop his activity, such as a racket, pimping, murder and other. And they found him an article. Is it good? No, not very, because it proves that at that time the law in the United States worked in such a way that it was impossible to directly blame Al Capone. Or the police were bribed. Or Al Capone himself was a cunning. And then his activities were stopped. Right or not? Don't know. If the court made a decision as a result of a call to the judge from the White House, then it is still bad. It is necessary to judge for real crimes, because this is also a kind of message to society - "this cannot be done." And when society is told that this cannot be done, but at the same time they wink and make it clear that it is actually possible, but in fact it is impossible to do completely different, then society is in severe thought: so it is sinful and what is righteous. As a result, we have the process of corruption of society.
Another thesis: they say, everyone stole it, and one Khodorkovsky sat ... I have no evidence and therefore I naively assume that I have no wealth in my own gouging, and not because I was robbed by evil oligarchs. And in theory, such naivety is called the presumption of innocence. And this presumption must be followed by law by the judicial authorities. But I will try to translate this thesis into a tongue free from the bald deal. People acted within the framework of existing laws. And only Khodorkovsky sat with Lebedev. No, not only. Firstly, every Russian region has its own Khodorkovsky. Secondly, there is Chichvarkin, who did not sit down, since the Message “Vali” understood without question. There are Gutseriev, who left, then returned and already set up a soft underbelly in the future to get at least something ... There are a lot of people who are looking for what, excuse me, to dig into the property. If justice is selective, then this is a violation of the principle of legality. This is a purely political matter.
And I also want to remind. When the first day of the sentence was announced in the first case, on this day they first “made a club for the head” of those who gathered at the Meshchansky court, including the then deputy of the Moscow City Duma, Sergei Mitrokhin. The next, second day of the sentence, in my eyes, people were knitted, shouting “Khodorkovsky Freedom”, knitted cruelly, with clubs and riot police, and then they wrote in the protocol on administrative detention: “For the transition of the street in the wrong place.” With delay, I testify - everything happened only on the sidewalk. And there were no “ours” then, so the role of the classes was played by the hired mass, hiding faces and leaving strictly at the end of the paid time.
So this is also symbols of the political process. Significant, but not the main ones. The main one is still a violation of the principle of legality. Although, with the current very voluntarily interpreted law on counteracting extremism, our horizons are narrowing with you, and they are sewing up 360 degrees around.
