After the story with Razvozhaev, many spoke about the torture of the opposition, as if this could be surprised by someone in our time. We observe the costs of fragmented, clip thinking formed by modern media. Some facts, reinforced by emotional comments, are massively presented to the layman, and so many are already ready to accept what is happening as a personal discovery.
The security forces as tortured and torture will torture. This is Russia, cruel and iron. It is appropriate to recall only a couple of tragic stories of torture applications regarding opposition in St. Petersburg. Those who were tortured have long and I know well for a long time, so I can be responsible for the reliability of those events and the high resistance of those who withstand the torture without succumbing to the tormentors.
The National Bolsheviks Andrei Raikov was detained among other demonstrators on May 18, 2003 after an unauthorized rally against Putin and Bush to celebrate the three hundredth anniversary of St. Petersburg.
In the 79th department of the police, Raikov first tried to recruit in the "knocks". When he categorically refused, by order of Lieutenant Colonel 18, Andrei Chernopyatov, he was taken to the courtyard of the department, where the minibus stood, dragged there and began to beat brutally . The role of executioners was played by the Sobrovtsy in masks, which are known for the lack of brakes in terms of the use of violence. During torture, in addition to blows, Raikov also tried to squeeze their eyes.
During the beating on the bus, Lieutenant Colonel Chernopyatov looked several times and asked Raikov if he had changed his mind. All the efforts of the sadists in camouflage and in civilian clothes turned out to be in vain, but Raikova was taken out of a minibus with a broken hand. During the torture of the auto, he used the painful technique and broke his hand on the knee.
The National Academy of Sciences of Sergey Chekunov was detained on April 27, 2006 after the action dedicated to the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the State Duma (the National Bolsheviks were then deployed on the roof of the house in front of Gryznov Banner “Such a Duma-Russia's shame!”).
In the 76th department of the police, Chekunov tortured the opera for about two hours: they divided to panties, beaten, squeezed their eyes, put a bag on their heads. The opera, angry with the audacity of the action, demanded that Sergey call the organizers. Chekunov did not name any surnames, withstood torture.
It is interesting that not the operative, but the civilian, was led by the torture, Sergey Barkkan, who then worked in the department for informal youth movements under the Committee on Youth Policy and public relations of the St. Petersburg Government. Later, having launched a public campaign, this sadist was fired from a subordinate Smolny organization ...
The issue of modern Russian opposition is a matter of readiness, personal honesty and seriousness of intentions. As for the case of the Communists of Udaltsov-Lebedev-Raszazzhaev, the muddy facts appear, showing the defendants not in the best light. If enough is said about Sergey Udaltsov, then Levak Konstantin Lebedev, as it turned out, hid his former membership in “Walking Together”, where he was not just listed, but fought with Marxism. No less ambiguous conflict of Leonid Razvoszhaev, who surrendered everyone under much less pressure than Raikov or Chekunov experienced.
Against the backdrop of “swamp-sugar” leaders, ordinary activists look worthy and cleaner, for example, the young member of the RSD Philip Dolbunov (Galtsov), the organizer of many promotions, an active participant in the campaigns in defense of the Tsagov and Khimki forest.
On October 25, 2012, three employees of the UPA showed up to him. Parents tried not to let them in, but the opera broke the door and twisted Philip. They loaded it into the car, scared the prospects to take it to the forest and figure it out. They played in the "good" and "evil" cop, trying to knock out the testimony "without a protocol."
Then Philip was brought to the UK and kept about five hours. They tried to find out about Lebedev, Razvozhaev and Udaltsov. Despite the pressure, Philip refused to answer all questions, based on 51 tbsp. Constitution. After the detainee, they took home and seized a computer, a sim card, etc. The cops were understood. The opera scared parents, intimidated their grandfather, but did not achieve anything.
Philip did not pass anyone, did not split, withstood. Comrade Mao would have said in this case our Russian leftists - “Fire by headquarters!”.
