And the judge, and the prosecutor, and the lawyer...

A friend wrote that someone tried to withdraw money from her bank pension card.

My wallet was taken out on the bus.

And we both felt the same thing: as if we had been dragged through the mud, although what was our fault? However, proximity, close contact with sewage...

I had exactly the same feeling when I read Samutsevich’s huge interview on Lenta.ru.

I was stunned by the sweet details about how I cursed my lawyer Tolokonnikov and how the whole trio allowed themselves to poke at the defenders. What innocent mischief... What naive familiarity... Another confirmation of the trio’s swagger.

However, Samutsevich did not notice that she made an excellent prosecutor - in the first person! - yourself and your friends.

I do not know the details of Pusek's relationship with the lawyers. Of course, I heard the lawyers’ speeches at the trial, followed the case, and thought about the situation, like the rest of us. And I understand well what bondage is.

But nevertheless... Why, in fact, do we so often get the idea that a doctor must cure, a lawyer must win a case, and a plumber must save a completely rusted pipe?

Any chess game! - implies both winning and losing. Yes, of course, we need a saving and curing doctor, after all, this is his task. But there is still death in nature. And no one has the right to discount it. As well as other force majeure circumstances.

The argument that the state deliberately removed undesirable lawyers from the game... Let's say. But then it clearly implied a response from the convicts. Without this, nothing would have happened; they had to respond to the call of replacement defenders. And they responded. Very easy.

In general, in my opinion, one should not exaggerate and attribute to the authorities a passion for psychology. It’s just that the authorities have other tasks, they have no time for that. Although, of course, calculations are being made. And if in the thirties of the last century there had not been a bet on human baseness, it is unlikely that power would have played out in such a way then. But spiritual meanness blossomed in full bloom, and denunciations poured in one after another. Without these denunciations, what would the authorities do? Would you write them yourself at night?

So it is now. There is no need to talk about the guilt of the state - look at yourself. We pour out grievances in monstrous quantities, tell how good and unfortunate we are, and how bad and unprofessional they are...

Further - more. Now Samutsevich allegedly wants to deprive his former defenders of the status of lawyers. No Syrova can hold a candle to her anymore. This is the real trial! And it is carried out by Samutsevich, and no one else. The authorities are resting.

The story of the unreturned passport... How then was it possible to give power of attorney to Khrunova if there was no passport? What kind of power of attorney is this?

Another important question arises. Didn’t Pusek have an assumption that repressive measures would eventually follow? Or did they think that all their lives they would simply dance in churches and on the Execution Ground? Is it really so naive? Why were you so confused, as you say, at the time of your arrest?

And if they did think about the worst option, then didn’t they understand the subsequent actions of any parties to the process? Have you ever thought about how much depends on us? If people do not break, no other force can stand before them.

But Samutsevich suggests new shares of the group. This means that the trio should look for lawyers in advance so as not to find themselves in confusion again. This is precisely why, as the oppositionists say, they agreed to the first defenders they came across. There is no doubt that Khrunova and the others will not approach again, and very soon.

There is a well-known wisdom: what Peter says about Ivan characterizes not Ivan, but Peter. Almost always fair.
