The editor -in -chief of "Echo of Moscow" Alexei Venediktov on Twitter advises everyone who is the first time in Kirov to go to the Dymkovo toy museum: "Craftswomen work there. And you can buy real little masterpieces." Obviously, journalists and activists are looking for another lesson.

Navalny: "I literally feel your disappointment: you all arrived, but here it is ... But we needed time to get acquainted with the case."
09:42 Maria Aismont/ Publicpost
To get acquainted with the case, the prosecutors say, the defense required too much time. The victim - the representative of the property department of the government of the Kirov region - is still: "at the discretion of the court."
The judge gives a week to get acquainted with the case - until April 24. And announces the next meeting on April 24. "That is quick (English" this is fast! "), - was heard from behind.
Navalny gives out an interview.

The prosecution, of course, is against: "Conscious delay entails a violation of the deadlines." Officer is also offered to refuse.

Avdotak Mikhailova (represents Officer's interests) reads the application (loudly and clearly): “Navalny and his protection illegally, for far -fetched reasons were limited in the right to familiarize themselves with the case. This was granted 36 days - this was not enough to agree on a circle of people who were planned to be attracted as witnesses or experts. In connection with restrictions in the right - with materials not with materials not with materials They are familiar with the sheets of the case, as expected, they contained clean sheets.
A new lawyer will come into business.
They also ask to transfer the hearing to the case to Moscow, as they are under the subscription and therefore cannot leave their place of stay. Plus, Navalny passes the accused in another case, which is considered in Moscow, both are constantly living and registered in the capital.
The consideration of the case in Kirov is "fraught with additional financial costs." Navalny supports the defense petition.

The judge came, sat down and began to say something under his breath. “Is it not louder?” They asked in the hall. “You can’t hear anything !!! Turn on the microphone.” And indeed, on the fourth row of benches where I am sitting (three more, it seems), understand what he says is impossible. “The microphone does not turn on there,” someone suggested. “Please calm down,” the judge asked, a little louder than he spoke before, but not much.
Now the defendants are presented - they can be heard well: name, year of birth, address of marital status. The questions of the judge are still indistinguishable. The crunch of turning through the pages of notebooks and clicking cameras is much louder than the judge's voice.

Navalny came with lawyers and wife, asked: "Did you really spend the night in a cafe?"
Everyone photographed him, and then he also decided to photograph everyone. And one photographer said: "And I will take pictures of how you take pictures." The editor -in -chief of The New Times, Evgeny Albats, loudly wished Navalny "neither fluff nor pen."

Court Chairman Konstantin Zaitsev leads the seedling of journalists.
Zaitsev shows the press where the parties to the defense and accusations will sit. "Can't you change places?" - Ask the television people. It is more convenient for us if they sit on the contrary. "It turns out that Navalny will sit with their backs." We do not need his back, "the operators explain." Let's not change, and then think, "says Zaitsev.
"We first encounter such an interest in the trial. But this does not mean that the rules cannot be changed if you convince us of this," Zaitsev said.

Beauty at a rally #Zanavalny in Kirov.

What a striking contrast between the flea market on the steps of the court and the atmosphere inside the building! As if you are not in court, but at the appointment. Polish bailiffs, checking bags, smiling girls in uniform, rewriting passports. Everyone who has entered is explained where the wardrobe is and where to go to the hall. You can shoot everyone, everything is everywhere - however, in the frame is mostly colleagues.
A little ahead of the scope is a smiling Zaitsev, welcoming everyone to whom the day before gave an interview (and this, it seems, would be about the most journalists).
- Hello! And you were worried yesterday that you would not pass! He told me with a smile.
- We sat on the contrary all night, we wrote in line ...
“Yes, I know,” Zaitsev says knowingly.

“There are already 200-300 people at the rally near the trial,” an eyewitness to Sergey Bachinin told Publicpost. “Nemtsov and Navalny’s brother give out an interview. But Alexei himself went to people, and all three hundred people took him into the ring.”
At a rally near the court, Navalny thanks all those who came: "We know that we are fighting for ourselves, for our families, for our freedom. And we will win. One for all! Thank you, guys, see each other after the trial." The crowd picks up his words. Scandil: "A case against Navalny is a matter against us!" And "Russia will be free."

Outside the window of the "beer courtyard" it is light. Most journalists have already moved to the court building - across the road. The restaurant worked all night - as an exception and at the request of journalists. Here they serve their own pastries and delicious pancakes, there is a tolerable Wi-Fi. Lists are drawn up here: at the beginning of the first I signed up at number 22 ... By six in the morning, the numbers exceeded 40, but under the same number many recorded several more people. The courtroom accommodates 60 people - they say that the chairman of Zaitsev assures that they would let him in a live queue, despite VIPs, and hinted that he had received offers from foreign embassies to reserve places in the hall, but he refused them. It is not very clear what those who arrive by train will do - he comes to the station at 7:30.
Those journalists who walked through the streets in the afternoon say that many people either do not know anything about the process at all, or do not want to answer questions, and as if they are in a hurry somewhere.
-Have you heard something about the process before this invasion? - We ask the waiter Victoria.
- To be honest, no.
- And from what sources do you get information?
-From the newspaper "Business News" (local Kirov newspaper) and VKontakte group.
- Was there really nothing?
- No. And if it was, then I probably missed, because I considered it uninteresting. But in general, I like it all. This is just my part. I am learning to PR.
The newspaper "Business News" along with the Echo of Moscow in Kirov, the "Vyatka observer" is included in the holding of the banker Guselnikov, close to the Governor of the Belykh. The newspaper wrote about the process of Navalny. True, today on her website Navalny is not the main topic. “People here do not care,” the publication explains.
My young colleague asks:
- Why are all these people - civil activists - are coming here from Moscow and still buy tickets themselves?
I explain to her:
“Why are you going to the mountains with your kid or south?”
- Tighten, relax.
- Well, that's why they are.
- It seems to me correctly that there is a terrible gap between the information field in which Moscow and Kirov live?
- He's not terrible. He is natural.
- You really do not believe that people can come to support a person sincerely, because they believe that this applies to them? - asks the Kirov colleague the judicial observer The New Times Zoya Svetova
He shakes his head:
- You can support a close person, relative, friend. And so - I do not believe.
