Just before the New Year holidays, blogger and member of the opposition Constitutional Court Rustem Adagamov, better known under the nickname drugoi, was accused of pedophilia. No, it was not the investigators and courts of Russia or Norway, where Adagamov lived, who were accused, but his ex-wife, both online and in a video interview . In addition, the ex-wife stated that she has serious evidence of the guilt of “The Other”. The lady was actively supported by certain Internet resources that posted electronic correspondence between Adagamov and his ex-wife , where the blogger practically admits to committing crimes under Article 132 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Adagamov himself, weakly declaring that all this was a hoax and threatening to sue the “slanderers,” went into deafening silence. And everything hung in the form of a question mark. In order to put an end to such a sensitive matter, Rustem Adagamov has three options for getting out of this situation.
First option. If there is any possibility of the existence of any serious physical evidence, a confession remains. Of course, when admitting guilt, the least evil for the “Other” is the loss of a name, a face, a job, a handshake. In a bad case, a considerable prison sentence is added to this, where those convicted under Part 4 of Article 132 of the Criminal Code are treated, to put it mildly, very negatively.
Second option. Understanding his own complete innocence and knowing that this whole dirty story is a provocation, it makes sense for the “Other” to publicly and openly declare his non-involvement in the “pedophile story.” It would be nice to have an open letter from Mr. Adagamov, in which he would officially declare the provocation and explain the ways in which the “correspondence” appeared and the reasons for the actions of those accusing him of a particularly serious crime. But, I emphasize once again, this option only applies if the “Other” is absolutely not involved in any actions provided for in Part 4 of Article 132 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Third option. In the criminal legal world it is called "take fifty-one." We are talking about Article 51 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which allows a witness, accused, suspect or defendant not to testify against himself or his immediate family. That is, you announce the “51st” and remain proudly silent and let the investigation or the court blow their own minds, trying to prove something. This path is suitable in two cases: when you are guilty, but you don’t know what evidence the prosecution has, or when you are not guilty, but you understand that any attempts to prove that you are not a camel will only harm yourself or your loved ones. However, in Russian legal proceedings and in public opinion, any silence, even legal, is perceived as an admission of guilt.
Now it seems that Rustem Rinatovich chose the third, very vague, but completely constitutional option. Of course, God forbid that the “Other” turns out to be not involved in the crime of which they are trying to accuse him.
However, another question arises: do those who charge Adagamov with a particularly serious crime and talk about the existence of real evidence know about the presence of Article 303 in the Criminal Code ? This article in part 3 reads: “Falsification of evidence in a criminal case of a grave or especially grave crime, as well as falsification of evidence that entails grave consequences, is punishable by imprisonment for a term of up to seven years.”
So either Adagamov or those who accuse him will go to prison. There is no other option.
