How Sopchak judged Sobchak

The world judicial site number 418 of the Presnensky district of the city of Moscow considered the case of an administrative offense against Ksenia Sobchak. The TV presenter was detained on Nikitsky Boulevard on May 8 during mass protest festivities. The court found her guilty of participating in an unauthorized action and imposed a fine of 1000 rubles. Publicpost correspondent Evgeny Natelashvili followed the trial.

Journalists were not allowed into the court of court - the trial appointed at 11 a.m. was postponed, the judge got acquainted with the case file for a long time. "Do you have a chair so that we can sit down?" - one of the journalists began to get nervous. The bailiff only shrugged. “They could find for NTV,” the journalist was capricious.

Ksenia Sobchak appeared in the corridor. “You have so much special forces here that I feel like a dangerous criminal,” she turned to the fighters. Indeed, to protect order, a whole detachment of special forces was brought to the court. The security forces surrounded the TV presenter with a dense ring, smiled embarrassedly and joked about themselves.

“Here is Alexander your ardent fan, it is just shy,” the special forces pushed. One began to whisper Ksenia in his ear. “You are all such touching guys, pretty,” Sobchak turned to the fighters. “We went to the Barricades. We just don’t have enough for us. How long do you work today? There are simply discussions, political clubs. We’ll talk without uniforms.” "Is this the Barrikadnaya metro? - one of the employees became interested in. - We will come with the tent." “No, it is impossible with the tent. This will be a provocation,” Ksenia instructed. “And, the main thing in our oppositional case is not to touch the lawns. They are more expensive than at the Wimbledon stadium. And it’s impossible to go - this is unsanitary. And you can only walk with Akunin. Now the situation is in the country: you want to take a walk - call Akunin immediately.”

An elderly woman with a tied white ribbon came out of one of the offices. “Oh, Ksyusha, you, or something?!” The woman was surprised and admired at the same time. “We also brought us yesterday in the evening, six. But they let me go home, I am disabled. The court is also today.”

The trial was led by a judge by the name of Kopchak. “This is a thin trolling,” said Publicpost Ksenia with a laugh. “They switched to our methods. There, people really work with a sense of humor. Sobchak is punishing the cocker.”

The judge read out the prosecution - Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses "Resistance to law enforcement agencies." “I do not plead guilty,” Sobchak began his response. “It was not a procession, there were no posters, slogans. I and the deputy Ponomarev went to meet with the deputy Gudkov.” "Well, what was the purpose of this walk? How many of you were you?" - interrogated the judge. “About 30,” answered Sobchak. "When 30 people walk, they have a goal. What was you?" - Kopchak did not let up. "The goal was communication." "What topic?" - Apparently, it was extremely important to the judge to know this. "You had petitions, or you were disagreed with something." "The conversation was to be about the work of the executive and judicial systems. I repeated no procession, picket, I repeated. I went to the deputy with the deputy. Then, in some gang arun, a group of people surrounded us and put in a auto-salary." The judge retired to the meeting.

Judge Kopchak was in no hurry to make a decision, apparently, she carefully pondered all the pros and cons. Half an hour later, Ksenia began to rush special forces. "You can find out why for so long? We have everything done so that people do not work. It’s time for me to work." “Do you think we ourselves are satisfied?!” The fighters complained. “Some kind of madhouse. We guard you like Shamil Basayev. We would sit for ourselves, they drank tea. And then we dragged here.”

After the hour of waiting, the judge finally appeared in the hall. “Sobchak Ksenia Anatolyevna was found guilty,” the judge Kopchak minted. “Given the circumstances of the case and the nature of her offense, the court comes to the conclusion about the need to sentence a fine of 1000 rubles in the revenue of the state.” During the announcement of the sentence, Sobchak all the time called the phone. "Mom" - displayed on the screen.

“Honestly, I don’t understand only one thing,” Ksenia told reporters, already leaving the court building. “Why for a walk for twenty minutes for this small administrative offense I spent three hours here.” "Are you going to appeal?" The journalists asked. "We will see, but I personally perceive it all as a mockery."

“How your mother reacted to the detention and the court,” they ask the “convicted” already from the car. "She is in shock. I haven’t talked to her yet, I’ll call back now. She is worried, of course. She's a mother."

After the hard acceleration of the Million Millions, on May 6, civil protests continue on the streets of Moscow. At the monument to Abay Kunanbaeva on pure ponds for almost a whole week there was a camp of opposition, which was also dispersed by OMON employees. Protesters do not leave the streets of the city.
