What actually happened yesterday in the Pussy Riot case? Nothing special.
No, of course, for our judicial system, the challenge of a lawyer declared by a client is unimaginable. Moreover, a challenge to such an odious figure as the highly respected Violetta Volkova. And many people think that this is a bad sign or something like that.
So, nothing outstanding happened in the courtroom yesterday.
No, of course, if you believe numerous conspiracy theories, then Samutsevich “sold” PussyRiot yesterday, or, what is just as likely, the god of manipulation Volkova started a grandiose intrigue for her own promotion or for the release of girls from prison. Can these theories be believed?
In principle, yes. If you really want to. With every fiber of the soul.
Because it is much easier to believe that Catherine, who is by no means a stupid person, had different views on the further conduct of the trial with the three defenders. And, by the way, there is nothing fatal or terrible in this.
However, I am afraid that now the image of a consolidated and protesting force consisting of girls and their lawyers has been somewhat tarnished. True, no one is to blame for this. Because only two beings can avoid running into contradictions in this most absurd process.
This is Judge Syrova and the dog who was guarding the girls at the aquarium.
The absurdity has dragged on, it’s already getting on my nerves. Because we are, as it were, next to you - but rather spectators. But Volkova, Alekhina, Samutsevich, Feigin and others, they are inside. And this idiocy cripples their destinies, now, at the moment.
We all just shouldn't forget one thing. It's extremely simple:
PUSSY RIOT SHOULD NOT BE SITTING BEHIND BARS
Courage to you all, gentlemen and ladies, and honor, so as not to forget this.
Such things.
