Do not judge by words. “It's time to finish with this strange economic model” - for these words, uttered last fall at the rally, “stop feeding the Caucasus”, publicist Konstantin Krylov threatens two years on article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. On September 13, the Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow will continue to consider the case of thought crime. Why are Krylov judged - the New Times sorted out
Moscow, City Day, on Nikitsky Boulevard - a book festival that is outwardly not distinguishable from the spring "Okupaev". The same persons, the same speeches, in general, everything is the same, only no one prohibits or disperse anything. The head of the Moscow Department of Culture, Sergei Kapkov, walks along the boulevard with the co -owner of the “phalanus” Boris Kupriyanov, the speakers on the stage recall May when they were taken to the police on the same boulevard. The lecture of the journalist Ivan Davydov is devoted to the fabulous beginning in the Russian reality, Davydov tells how on the evening of May 6 he was taken right here, at the Nikitsky Gate, and was taken to the Western Degunino police department, and, according to the protocol, three minutes have passed between the detention on the boulevard and the execution of the protocol in the police department. Davydov divided the distance (18 km in a straight line) for a while, received the speed with which the car carrier was supposed to go - 600 km/h, and when he was tried for an administrative offense, the judge said this.
- And the judge says: "Why do you think this is impossible?" - says Davydov under the laughter of the audience. People have fun, people want a new joke, and then Davydov talks about one of their friends, who is already judged under the criminal article 282 for the phrase spoken at the rally "It is time to end with this strange economic model." The audience laughs again. "
He is a non -metrginal figure in the movement that they want to make marginal. The task was to make him a fascist
"Senior investigator of the Zamoskvoretsky inter -district investigative department of the Investigative Department of the Main Directorate of the IC of the Russian Federation for Moscow, Evgeny Burenin, would probably be surprised if he found out that cases from his practice were told at the bottom of the city as examples of a fairy -tale principle in Russian reality. He hardly thought about this when he signed a decision to attract as accused in criminal case No. 690749 Konstantin Krylov, who, “using the technical means of sound strengthening, ensuring the bringing of his statements to the audience, acting intentionally, expressing their negative attitude to the budgetary policy of the state power of the Russian Federation in the North Caucasus region by committing actions aimed at arousing the audience of hatred or enmity, as well as to humiliate the dignity of a group of persons on the grounds of nationality and origin,” came out with speech. ”
Made in the Caucasus
It was last year, in the fall. On October 22, in Bolotnaya Square, nationalists rally under the slogan "Stop feeding the Caucasus!" The speaking rally immediately after Krylov, Alexei Navalny, now says that he is "even inconvenient in front of Krylov." “I specifically compared our performances, mine seems to me much more radical than what he said,” recalls Navalny. - He generally had a very balanced performance by the standards of that rally, and if you compare it with the speeches of Tkachev or Kadyrov, Krylov was simply very restrained. Any member of the Public Chamber is a brutal hawk compared to that speech of Krylov. Let someone go to the Ministry of Finance or the Ministry of Economic Development for interest-there are speeches on the topic "Stop feeding the Caucasus" constantly sound. " 
When asked why, of all who performed at the rally, the case was only opened against Krylov, Navalny replies: “He is a non -metrginal figure in the movement that they want to make marginal. Everyone knows him, everyone treats him well, even many liberals. There was a task to make him a fascist, whom the court recognized as a fascist. ”
It is difficult for a married man
About five years ago, Konstantin Krylov wrote the book “Fascist Diet” - no metaphors, it really was a textbook for those who wanted to lose weight. The first in his methodology Krylov himself lost himself, after which he became very similar to Vladimir Lenin, which, obviously, would be appropriate if the author of the diet had adhered to left -wing, and not right views. When Krylov decided to return to the previous image about the similarity with Lenin, it was replenished again, and now in the office of the National Democratic Party created, I am met by the same Krylov, whose photograph appeared in LJ 11 years ago (Konstantin Krylov was one of the first users of the Russian living magazine and the first nationalist in the blogosphere). His userpic was then black and white, so you can not pay attention that at the beginning of the zero beard, Krylov was red, and now almost all of the gray. Now he is 44 years old.
Krylov is a native Muscovite, but, speaking of his origin, he begins with the village of Tarutino near Moscow, in which his mother was born. After Tarutin’s battle, the inhabitants of the village erected a monument on their own money, and Krylov from childhood remembers the inscription on the pedestal from childhood - “and the Nara River will be as famous for us as Nepryadva, on the banks of which the countless militias of Mamai died.” In gratitude for this monument to the Tarutinsky peasants, freedom was given almost 50 years before the reform of 1861, and Krylov is sure that he owed this freedom his worldview: “Tarutians have always been special, the state did not love, especially Soviet. All their lives have been relied only on themselves. ” 
When Krylov was detained for the first time in case No. 690749, one might think that in this way the center of “E” was simply trying to disrupt the “Russian March”, one of the speakers on which Krylov was supposed to be. Now he says that he planned to devote his performance to the preparatory falsifications in the elections to the State Duma and the fight against them. It is no longer possible to find out whether this is true or not - Krylov did not reach the “Russian march”, the operatives of the “E” center detained him when he left his house on Kuusinen Street. “Speaks on the eve of the“ Russian march ”sometimes do not spend the night at home, but it’s difficult for a married person,” explains, laughing, the lawyer of Krylova Matvey Zen. "
The verdict Krylov will be a signal that the Kremlin is hated by the intelligence in any form, the Russophilic or Russophobic - it does not matter
“The detained Krylov was taken to Zamoskvoretsky Investigative Department. There was a day off, but the investigator was at work, Krylov was interrogated as a witness and released. The prosecution was charged only on May 25.
The lion pinched
The campaign “Stop feeding the Caucasus” - obviously, this is the main political success of Krylov, he proudly says about her that “she touched the Kremlin,” and to the question of evidence, he is offended: “What evidence? Putin publicly spoke, Medvedev said " ***" When they begin to shout: "Stop feeding the Caucasus" - wait, tomorrow the call will inevitably follow: "Stop feeding Siberia, the Far East, the Urals, the Volga region, the Moscow Region ..." It was according to such recipes that those who led the Soviet Union to the decay. " Vladimir Putin, “Independent Gazeta”, January 23, 2012 “I remember all these conversations that it is enough to feed Central Asia, enough to feed Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic states. Well, what happened? The country scattered to pieces ... ”Dmitry Medvedev at a meeting with students of the journalism faculty of Moscow State University on October 20, 2011. It all began, however, not with Krylov. Alexey Mikhailov from the Russian Image movement in January last year invited the leaders of the main nationalist associations to develop a common position in the North Caucasus and sign a joint declaration. “And then I became a fan of such a form as an expert report,” Krylov recalls. - Just Boris Nemtsov had reports on Luzhkov and Putin, and I really liked this format. The declaration can be written in an hour, these are a few lines, but you need to work on the report, it is more convincing. ” The text called "Caucasus-2011" was published in the spring. There was no slogan “Stop feeding the Caucasus” in the report, but, as Krylov recalls, “in expert conclusions it shone through: it was written that a budget policy in relation to the Caucasus was intolerant. The conclusion is not very deep, but he touched them. ”
“They” are not Caucasians, but the Kremlin. Krylov insists that “enough to feed the Caucasus” is not an anti -Caucasian, but an anti -Kremle slogan. “It does not depend on the Caucasians - whether industry is developing there, whether taxes are gathering there. It depends on the Kremlin. And we touched great interests, and this is how to pinch Leo for a painful place. The fork, although weak, but painful and insulting. And the lion roared. "
Nanotics
The judge of the Zamoskvoretsky court Andrei Fedin, considering the case of Krylov, was simultaneously conducted by the case of Rasul Mirzaev; According to lawyer Matvey Zen, several other judges of the same court refused to consider this case, and Krylov comments on this so that “those who judge honestly are not, but there are those who are not taking, and Fedin is not of them, he does not even pretend to be, he is already charged, the decision has already been made.” Krylov is judged for the first time, and Article 282 provides a conditional period in such cases, but, speaking of this, Krylov adds that "he would not give a tooth." In his opinion, the main goal of this process: “so that the little man does not shine,” that is, so that Krylov could not engage in public policy. In the conditions when the Party of Krylov is preparing to register in the Ministry of Justice, such a version seems to be the most believable.
It adheres to it by the head of the Human Rights Association "Agora" Pavel Chikov. “For Krylov, the consequences of condemnation under an extremist article are a ban on public service, on teaching, a ban on heading public associations,” says Chikov. “A conviction is a guaranteed basis for refusing to register a party, moreover, according to the law on public associations, if a member of the board of the organization is convicted as an extremist, the board must condemn it at a special meeting, and if this does not happen, the entire organization is liquidated as extremist.” Chikov recalls that it was according to this scheme that the Nizhny Novgorod Society of Russian-Chechen Friendship was eliminated, which refused to condemn its leader Stanislav Dmitrievsky. In addition to the created party, Krylov has been heading the Russian Public Movement for seven years, which specializes in the provision of legal and material assistance to the victims of the judicial system, mainly nationalists or victims of the “Russian -Caucasian” conflict, where the accused is the Caucasian.
May 13, 2012, Moscow. Science fiction writer Mikhail Kharitonov, he is Konstantin Krylov on a "walk with writers"
Krylov is sure that his party will not be registered: “Now the problems of the“ demo ”, the Ministry of Justice tells them that they ate the pie to the wrong side of the Baburinians *** *** The nationalist party“ Russian National Union ”, headed by Sergey Baburin. The problems were registered in June 2012, and they are completely manual compared to us, one might say, cats. My criminal record is the most convenient way to refuse the party to register. ” Pavel Chikov adds: “We are dealing with the obvious intention of the authorities to press nationalist movements, and if Krylov is convicted, then the case has good prospects in the European Court of Human Rights, in the practice of which there are already many cases, including nationalists, when the ECHR comes to the conclusion that if the statements were not perceived as a call for violence, then freedom of speech cannot be violated.”
That he will be condemned, Krylov is sure: “We are not people for them. Both for a bandit commerce not a person, and for a cop. The comrades are completely insolent. Putin was chosen, it seems they have nothing to fear, but for some reason they arrange the local thirty-seventh year, such nanotression. ” The writer Dmitry Bykov, ten years ago, who worked as the head of Krylov in the newspaper Conservative (Krylov was there the editor of the department of politics, bulls - the deputy chief editor), says that if Krylov is convicted, "it will mean that they are in the Kremlin, they are simply crazy." “For the system, the worst thing is when she does not understand who her enemy is and who is an ally,” Bykov believes. - Krylov is often more loyal to the Russian state than the government itself. The verdict Krylov will be a signal that the Kremlin is hated by the intelligence in any form, the Russophilic or Russophobic - it does not matter. ”
Albert Gainutdinov, an anti -fascist (is on a federal wanted list on charges of creating an extremist community):
“In all civilized countries, there is a criminal liability for inciting ethnic growth and hatred. As the Minister of Internal Affairs of Germany said, the opposition of ultra -right, an integral feature of any democratic society. In the same Germany, there is a center for counteracting the right extremism, and these guys know their job. Another question is how it is in Russia: even if you cancel the 282nd article, they will plant others, that is, to factory criminal cases, as it was in my case (during a search, my membership tickets were thrown at my house). If you leave the 282nd article only for neo-Nazis, nothing good will come of it either. After all, we are not Germany. In neo -Nazism they will accuse all objectionable, all oppositionists. It's not about the article, the point is in the political system. They will not be able to close the 282nd, close in other articles. As for the slogan "Stop feeding the Caucasus." To some extent, one can agree with him, but with a reservation-enough to feed the Putin’s mafia in the Caucasus. The peoples of the Caucasus live in the same poverty as the rest of the population of Russia, which cannot be said about the official elite of the Kadyrovites. Of course, you need to deal with this. However, some represent the problem as if all Caucasians live at the expense of the rest of the population of Russia, thereby replacing the struggle with the criminal power of interethnic discord. ”
Heydar Jemal, Chairman of the Islamic Committee of Russia:
“It’s not that article 282 of the Criminal Code was poorly formulated or needed to be finalized-it simply has no right to exist. This is a shame, this is a club in the hands of the administration. They may object: but how to deal with the verbal and mental aggression of one community to another? But this is a completely different question. If a group of people insults Muslims or Jews, then the reaction of the offended should be direct self -defense - upholding their honor, dignity and the right to self -identification. There is a league of the fight against diplomasium - a non -governmental international organization that has been fighting anti -Semitism since 1913. By the way, she sometimes applies physical measures to anti -Semites.
There are restrictions on freedom of speech in the West. There are laws on the rhetoric of hatred, Hate Speech - but these are also shameful laws that cannot be justified by the fact that they are applied in Europe (in Europe, democracy has long been dismantling). Either freedom of speech is a value that has absolute meaning, or we go to precedent law, saying: once they plant in France, then we need to plant it. But the use of precedent law in international practice is an extremely extravagant approach. I believe that such things are eroding the old tradition that Voltaire laid: I hate what you say, but I am ready to die for your right to say so. Поэтому я, конечно, за отмену 282-й и 280-й («Публичные призывы к осуществлению экстремистской деятельности») статей. Последнюю, кстати, пытались применить и ко мне».
