Alexey Navalny,
Founder "Rospila"
I have expected something similar over the past five years. And although I was ready for this, I still missed some things. For example, already giving the iPad, I realized that I had not set the password on it. I just never thought that everything would be taken away at all. There were very unpleasant moments. When the wife did not give her mobile phone, they wanted to select him by force. They said: "Now we will arrest it at all, we will plant for 15 days." Finally, they forbid you to do even those things that you can afford by law - for example, let the lawyer to put it in your house. Such a complete lawlessness, and you can’t do anything. Even the operatives were very surprised that they did not find golden vases and other luxury in my house. We talked all these 13 hours with them. It turned out that the Moscow opera and riot police read my LJ. They asked: "And what about these Chechen" Mercedes ", but what about the tiles?" True, anyway, the conversation came down to the questions: “Well, if not Putin, then who? Are you instead of Putin? "

One of the leaders of the Solidarity movement
From the search I have a severe sensation. Moreover, this happened on June 12, on Russia Day. In the 90s, I voted for free democratic Russia, and now these guardsmen allow myself to create such a thing on Russia's Day! True, I have no questions to those young guys who conducted a search. They behaved very correctly: they are forced people, do what they will tell them. By the way, they reacted with interest and understanding to the books that they saw with me: “Luzhkov. Results "," Putin. Results ".

Journalist, TV presenter
The hardest thing in this search was that strangers who are mockingly talking to you, pace your apartment, behave in a businesslike way. They do not allow to dress, go to the shower, they are released under the escort. Absolute personal rape. A dog handler with a dog was present at the search, and I was afraid that drugs would be thrown to me. I think they knew from the telephone wiretapping that I had some money at home. I think they will try to connect this money with the financing of opposition rallies.

Sergey Udaltsov,
Left Front leader
This is the first search in my life. Morally I was ready for any development of events: the case was aroused for a long time, I was already interrogated as a witness, I understood that more serious actions could follow at any moment. It was surprised and shocked by what came to my parents, older people who are in no way connected with our movement, are generally not famous for political activity. They began to burst at seven in the morning and brought them to a shock state. It was the most difficult: it’s easier to answer for yourself, but here you involuntarily draw close people. And about the search at my house, when they came, they said: “How modestly you live, we thought that you had mansions.”
Ilya Yashin,
Member of the Bureau of Movement "Solidarity"
When we were with Sobchak, the investigators said: “Since you actually live here, we cannot establish who belong to these things. Here is a correspondence of Sobchak with a man of Sobchak or you-we cannot install. The passport of the foreign Sobchak belongs to you or to her - we cannot install. ” Aloud, they read out her correspondence with other men - obviously with pleasure. The investigators also had a special memo - what to seize. When there was a search in my parents’s apartment, I looked into this memo briefly. It was written there what words in the documents and other media should be paid attention to: “white symbolism”, “disagreed”, “protest”, “Putin”. Therefore, Panyushkin’s book “12 Disagent” and the film “White Waltz” were seized. In general, the most unpleasant is a feeling of insecurity in your own house. The opera use your toilet, brew tea in your kitchen, touch your things, take them. If you take something out on the street-this is a robbery, but here it is the same, but by law. And the apartment after the search is like a raped woman. Everything seems to be in place, but defiled.
