In order to feel the specifics of the “swamp business”, it was worth going to all banal, seemingly judicial procedures to “extend the detention”. They wrote a lot about how different they were the accused: activists and inhabitants, left and right, businessmen and unemployed, young and not very ... unexpected for me was their similarity: I liked them all. Well, great guys are simple. Maybe this is a "sign of marsh"?
I knew the intelligent and good -natured human rights activist Kolya Caucasian before. Sasha’s shining eyes had already seen Duhanina in the pictures. Andrei Barabanov, judging by the charges, fiercely rushing at the riot police, turned out to be a sweet and modest guy with cheerful eyes. The court came to the court, overcoming the flu and the temperature, his girlfriend came (and the wife is essentially 4 years together), and they did not take their eyes off each other. And my mother was sitting next to it. And in the views of all three there were so much warmth that it is immediately clear - everything is fine in this family.
Polikhovich is much more vegetable than in old photographs that scattered from his page VKontakte, but the look is the same childish, except that a little offended. The courageous and calm Lutskievich. Half -apple and lack of money (there was no question of pledge) Levak Akimenkov appeals to the court with amazing dignity and calm, and he spoke about his humiliated prison - he spoke an excellent, clear language. With the noise, Artyom Savelov also holds on the noble dignity - not the “revolutionary fighter”, but the ordinary metro driver, who clearly did not prepare himself in advance for prisons and hard labor. He holds a posture, smiles through the convoy of his brother and father. And his father not only goes to his son - he sat on other people's ships two days until evening, "to see everything with his own eyes," he says.
By the way, about support: at each meeting, the hall is full, but the hall is 15-20 people, could have come more. The public of the Caucasian public is more and motley: both the socialists and the LGBTshniks come to it, and someone else. He defended many at large, now the time to protect him. Solid uncles in the orders and stripes from the Union of Military Sailors go to Lutskevich. They scold power on what light - for the collapse of the Soviet Army and corruption to the West, but I managed to find a common language with them. The topic is obvious: for compliance with the law and an independent court. Each of the accused is invariably met and escorted in the corridor with applause.
There is one more gloomy similarity: the prison has already marked everyone with pallor, unhealthy skin, some kind of fatigue. Although everyone is good.
For everyone, the application of the investigation to extend the arrest. It is written under a carbon copy, and this is not an exaggeration: the name of Yaroslav Belousov was listed in the document on Savelov. This was just a technical mistake ...
In the standard document, not a single argument, evidence - only the empty "can escape, put pressure on witnesses, destroy evidence, continue crimes." Lutskevich’s lawyer Dmitry Dinze considers each of the points for 20 minutes, pedantically proving their absurdity. The answer of the accusing side is concise: "The investigation has enough reason."
After the next extension, someone throws a replica in the corridor: "It seems that they are most afraid that the guys will not run away, even if they are released!"
Lawyers choose different tactics. Someone focuses on characteristics and guarantees. The accused are ready to bail deputies, scientists and writers. Do not give. They offer pledges from 50,000 to the apartment (mother of Lutskevich) - do not take. People want to study, raise children, take care of sick relatives. Let them sit, although investigators have not communicated with anyone since the beginning of July.
Lawyer Dinze himself fell asleep by the investigation with petitions for all kinds of actions to establish "material evidence of the crime." The dactyloscopy of the helmet, which allegedly plucked from the fighter Lutskievich, and other studies that can really, and not in words prove Denis's guilt. After all, what else to present to the court is the contradictory testimony of the “injured” fighter who himself remembered everything ”only a few months later, but before that he did not remember? But the investigation, apparently, does not need evidence. It is confident in the "reliability" of the court.
Another sign of these days is the outlined collision with lawyers. The court appoints a hearing for the day when Farit Murtazin, Saveelov’s lawyer, must participate in court in another city, which he warns in advance. Nevertheless, the prosecutor, the investigator and the judge are fiercely indignant, threaten to be removed from the case, even introduce the telephone message sent to the lawyer to the protocol. The investigator, however, says: “When we were discussing the date of the meeting ...” Defender Barabanov Svetlana Sidorkina warns a call about the process that has long been long in the morning, there is time, they just decide to listen to the Caucasus. But when she appears, she is reported to begin with all severity to begin with, forcing her to humiliately make excuses like a schoolgirl.
And why a lawyer and why arguments? There, Agranovsky is afraid that in one of his affairs the investigator justified the need to keep a person in prison during the investigation: "In order to ensure subsequent punishment of imprisonment."
This is what we understand the right ...
