Photo: Ozon.ruThe Algorithm Publishing House apologized for the book Pussy Riot. What was it? ”, The authors of which recorded Nadezhda Tolokonnikov. "We recognize that we made an unacceptable mistake and do not have permission from the authors to publish this book," the publishing house signed by CEO Sergei Nikolaev said . It also reports that the materials for the book are collected from open sources that Tolokonnikov was recorded in the authors just like that, and negotiations about the publication of the book were conducted with lawyers, in particular, with Mark Feigin. However, the negotiations ended in nothing, "but the book was already in work," the general director writes. Now the book is ready and it will be distributed by Eksmo Publishing House. Onthe Ozon.ru website it is reported that Tolokonnikova’s book can be bought for 161 rubles in 10 days.
The press service of Eksmo Publicpost reported that they would comment on anything. The Algorithm reported that everyone was stated in a press release.
Lawyers who represented the interests of Pussy Riot participants until November 18, did not read the book, but condemn and are going to write their own. This was stated on Twitter Mark Feigin.
In a conversation with Publicpost, lawyer Mark Feigin confirmed a message about creative plans.
The book, which was published in Eksmo, has nothing to do with us. We ourselves will deal with our book, but now we will not comment on anything. For what? When it turns out, then we will do it. I will not comment on anything, we closed this topic, hear? Closed.
- Are you not afraid that the book about Pussy Riot against the backdrop of the scandals of recent days will even harm your reputation?
On my reputation, only the incriminating evidence campaign is reflected, which was organized by the authorities that Mrs. Samutsevich use for these purposes. Do you understand? And I tell the truth always and everywhere. Therefore, the truth cannot badly affect the reputation. The dirt that is sculpted on me can badly affect my reputation. But she gets down sooner or later! Because life itself will put everything in its place. There is no need to do anything, we must say as it is. And it itself will come out. I now looked at the “term” , where Samutsevich says about Verzilov (Tolokonnikova’s husband - approx. Ed.) That he is a fraudster. Well, what is it? These are just spiders in the bank that I do not want to contact. Masha and Nadia are the only clean faces there because they are sincerely sitting. Everyone else turned out to be completely infernal.
Here you, PublicPost, have published an article that I stole a domain name (at the time of writing the article is Freepussyriot.org, I was registered with the activist Alisa Obraztsova and the “Film Company” Web-Bio-approx. Ed.). Why didn’t you check and did not go to the registrar, that the domain name has already been transmitted to me and that it wasn’t for me. нужно? Надо было проверить, наверное, кому оно принадлежит. Мне? Моей жене несчастной, которую всю уже истрепали? Или этим товарищам, которые между собой теперь выясняют эти проблемы? Может быть, более ответственно надо подходить к журналистике? Давать вам информацию бесполезно, вы все равно переврете и сделаете не то. Поэтому я не хочу вам ничего говорить. Вы написали ложь, собрали всю грязь, которая не соответствует действительности — что я захватил чье-то доменное The name that they gave it to us for a long time, and when we ceased to be their lawyers, we handed it over.
Lawyer Nikolai Polozov was more friendly.
As I understand it, from the media that Verzilov put Tolokonnikov before the fact that the book had already published. But we do not know ... I believe that Tolokonnikova should require a contract for the publishing house. It is significant that commercialization began after the lawyers left the case. And we were just accused of commercialization. Of course, Tolokonnikova did not write anything. But will her new lawyers cope with this? Here you can solve everything in a civilian order, depends on what Tolokonnikova herself thinks. If she does not defend her rights, then the publishing house will earn on this. Theoretically, it may demand to seize the circulation. And the publishers ... Now they do not quarter, but punish with the ruble.
- Please tell us about the book that you are going to write with Feigin and Volkova.
While we think. It is necessary to agree with the publishing house.
- What publishing house?
We are not going to do this in Russia, while we are still thinking where.
- What are you going to write about?
About the process, about how everything happened. It is difficult to say when it will be. We just left the process. We must rest, and then start.
-You and colleagues will write yourself or will you find someone for these purposes?
We have not yet discussed this, there is a desire and idea. We do not know how we will realize.
- To whom did this idea come?
It was in the trial. The process is so unusual, interesting. It would be foolish not to write about it.
- Why do you need this book? What goal do you pursue?
The main goal of this book is to convey to people how everything happened.
- Are you not afraid that the book about Pussy Riot will harm your reputation?
Negative things in our direction are the campaign inspired by the Kremlin in our discredit. It began in October, even earlier. First, on central television, Pimanov and Mammoths, and now the media picked up. This is an absolutely clear order of the Kremlin, it did not arise suddenly, it is a controlled campaign.
- How do you know that this is the Kremlin’s order?
Do you think that Mamontov came up with this? He was called and told to do. Then everything was picked up. If we were afraid of the Kremlin, we would not do this matter.
- You want, it turns out, to rehabilitate the reputation with your book about Pussy Riot?
Well, how to rehabilitate. Those who understand - they understand what and how happened. And to those who do not have a critical perception, and you will never explain. A book is an attempt to express himself.
Lawyer Violett Volkov
- What is your role in the publication of the book under the name Tolokonnikova?
We reap the fruits of the non -registration of the brand. A very short -sighted solution is to release the brand to the will. This is now not our job. The girls now have another lawyer. While we followed the situation, including the brand, there were no such situations. No books came out. There were porno -clips that we cleaned from the Internet during the day. Now on the network there are porn clips where Pussy Riot allegedly participates. Because no one is following. This is not the work of the brand. A brand is not only commerce, it is an opportunity to prevent your name from using it. Who would release this book if we turned to the publisher, would say urgently to remove the circulation and destroy? Even the applications would be enough. In fear of financial violations, dealers such as a publishing house are afraid to publish such books.
- What are you going to tell about in your book?
We will talk about the process, there will be no sensations there. Or maybe it will be. It will simply be a description of our work process. Maybe this will be a semi -artistic work, not documentary.
Peter Verzilov
The Algorithm Publishing House released a press release on this subject. Everything is very clearly spelled out there, Sergei Nikolaev clearly admits that there were no agreements, no one was in the know. The situation is exhausted.
- Do you know if Tolokonnikov will defend his interests?
The local Mordovian lawyer, who regularly visits hope, will give her instructions on how to happen further.
- Do you know that Feigin, Polozov and Volkov will write their book about Pussy Riot?
I know, I'm looking forward to.
-Are you going to participate in this, to control the process?
We must discuss this with them, but I have a stretched relationship with these lawyers, I do not want to comment about them.
