Navalny's trial. Day six
Photo: ReutersRegular hearings on the Kirovles case were held in Kirov. Perhaps for the first time in all the days of the trial, testimony against Navalny was heard at the trial - it was given by the former deputy general director of Kirovles Larisa Bastrygina. PublicPost broadcast from the courtroom and also monitored what was happening on the streets of Kirov.

Navalny asks to be allowed to sit on the board of directors of Aeroflot. “My absence from the meeting of the board of directors may result in such lost profits that 16 million will seem like pennies, and ticket prices may rise, including for the prosecution.”
Blinov says that Navalny will be issued a summons, which he can show to the board of directors as a valid reason.
Blinov announces a break until 9 am on May 20.

The court denies the prosecution's request to read Arzamastsev's testimony; apparently, the defense convinced him that they were not looking for him well enough. All the defendants' lawyers considered that a simple check at the place of registration and interviewing relatives was insufficient. And lawyer Kobzev suggested that we could try calling him: the phone number should be in the records of his interrogation and Shcherchkov.
15:55 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
Arzamastsev is the ex-director of the department of state property of the Kirov region. They say that it is he who is behind the examination, which showed that cooperation with VLK is unprofitable, and which Navalny calls custom-made.
In correspondence with Nikita Belykh, posted online, Navalny reproaches the Kirov governor for following Arzamastsev’s lead.
Arzamastsev is in hiding after the Urzhum distillery case. He signed a decree on the privatization of the regionally owned 25.5% of the company's shares. According to the investigation , the shares were sold at auction at a significantly reduced starting price - 95,370,000 rubles.
15:49 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Blinov reads for a long time about how they searched for Arzamastsev in various apartments. He asks the defense if they agree to read out Arzamastsev’s testimony without him.
Ofitserov's lawyer explains that this is undesirable - the interrogation should take place in the presence of the accused and his defense.
15:41 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
The prosecutor asks to read out Arzamastsev’s testimony; there is tense silence in the courtroom for several minutes—the testimony is not found.
15:33 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
The meeting continues, but it turns out that the remaining witnesses did not appear. The prosecutor reads out a list of witnesses who are scheduled to be questioned on May 20. Witness Arzamastsev is wanted.
15:30 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
During a break in the corridor, the journalists joked with the defendants that “forest journalists” had developed their own language: only they understood what a match log, a fan log, a saw log and a franked car were. Navalny: “Do you want to laugh? This is what Google returns for the query “match ridge” - and he shows on his iPhone the photographs returned by the search engine - about half are photographs of him, Navalny. Everyone laughs.
15:24 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
In the broadcast room, you can hear both the judge, who almost always speaks quietly, and the witnesses. There are also many free sockets, but no Wi-Fi. There is excellent Wi-Fi in the main hall and you can look people in the eyes.
Moving from one room to another, in the corridor I encountered Judge Zaitsev, the chairman of the Lenin Court, whoswore on the health of his own children , that his court was independent of calls from above.
"What did you want?" - he asked tensely. "Just to say hello." He said hello and quickly went to the second floor - I didn’t even have time to say how well they organized the broadcast.
On the first day of the trial, he smiled at reporters much more.
15:20 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Krylatov says that the supplied aspen was rotten, practically unsuitable for matchsticks, and there was a lot of defects. Davydov's lawyer requests that invoices from the case materials be submitted to the witness.
Blinov announces a five-minute break to find out which other witnesses will testify today.
15:11 Anna Veduta, press secretary of Alexei Navalny
These people, unlike the witness - the ex-director of the forestry enterprise, know what type of match log and what the standard is according to GOST.
15:07 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Krylatova questions the officers. He asks about how sales were in the first half of 2009.
Ordinary, Krylatov answers. He cannot give an assessment of the work of VLK.

15:00 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
A new witness is invited - Vladimir Krylatov. In 2009, he was the director of the Kirov forestry enterprise.
14:56 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Fursov’s testimony is standard: in 2009, he just came to the plant, the contract with KOGUP was renewed annually, prices were determined by the general director.
Prosecutors want to release the testimony because the witness doesn't remember much.
14:47 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Barantsev is released. Blinov invites a new witness.
Navalny’s defense is indignant: “You said that today there will only be four witnesses?”
Blinov: “This is as of 9 am. And now they have arrived.”
Behind the podium is Mikhail Fursov, former head of the forest department at the Kirov KMDK.
14:43 Anna Veduta, press secretary of Alexei Navalny
Kafka readings: the witness does not remember how the contractual relationship with VLK developed, now the prosecutors will read it to us.
N: “VLK,” in your opinion, is involved in the theft of timber in Delyaninsky?”
St.: “No, whoever drove there, apparently took it - he came on a day off.”
14:31 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Smertin leaves, and witness Barantsev takes his place behind the podium. In 2009, he was the chief engineer of the Sorvizh forestry enterprise.
14:27 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
Navalny traditionally finds out whether he told the witness anything about VLK, whether he forced him or through someone to work with VLK. He says no. And Opalev, says Smertin, did not force him - they had known each other for too long.
Navalny: “Do I understand correctly that at first you worked (through VLK), then you decided that it was not profitable for you and did not start working?”
The witness agrees: "Business is business."
According to Smertin, VLK owed the forestry enterprise more than 300 thousand rubles: “I asked the accountant, and she told me: the largest debtor is VLK - three hundred and something thousand.”
Navalny: “This debt was not repaid later?”
Smertin: “They didn’t extinguish it.”
Navalny: “Even after you leave?”
Smertin: “Before the trial, I specifically asked the chief accountant whether VLK had any debt, she said yes.”
Navalny: “Which accountant did you ask?”
Smertin: “The one who was in the forestry enterprise at that time. Until recently, she was listed in Kirovles.”
14:23 Anna Veduta, press secretary of Alexei Navalny
An excellent witness, a rare sight in our area - he remembers everything perfectly, down to the details.
N: “Did you find it unprofitable and stopped working with VLK?”
S: "Yes."
N: “Then they found it profitable again and sold it through VLK?”
S: “Business is business, changeable.”
N: “So you collaborated with VLK when you wanted, just like with everyone else?”
S: "Yes."
N: “No threats from the government, me, VLK?”
S: "Never."
14:14 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
Witness Smertin: “The prices changed more than once a year. And they were always agreed with KOGUP Kirovles, and they were always approved by Opalev.”
Ofitserov was introduced to him by Opalev. “Opalev said that from today we are working on selling sawing products with this company. That’s it.”
“The Soviet forestry enterprise is not located on the railway,” says the witness, and according to the agreement with VLK, they had to supply wood to Kotelnich. Transport had to be hired in the city (Sovetsk).
Prosecutor: “Were your travel expenses reimbursed?”
Smertin: “Who will compensate them?”
Smertin says that they did not work through VLK for long: “When we realized that it was unprofitable, we took the chief accountant and the chief economist and calculated everything. We made economic calculations, came to Opalev and proved that it was more profitable not to transport to Kotelnich, but to sell in Sovetsk Opalev agreed."
14:11 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Smertin is not familiar with Navalny; he saw him once at a meeting with Shcherchkov. The witness says that due to circumstances (his forestry enterprise was located at a crossroads) they bought a lot from him.
14:05 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
New witness: Yuri Smertin, former director of the Soviet forestry enterprise.

Ovchinnikov is released.
"I take it that's all for today?" he asks.
“That’s all,” answers Blinov.
13:59 Anna Veduta, press secretary of Alexei Navalny
Ovchinnikov: “I had no complaints about the quality of VLK products.”
N: “Were there any complaints about the work of VLK?”
Ovchinnikov: “Yes, everything was as usual, no difficulties with VLK. Then KOGUP stopped supplying altogether.”
N: “After VLK disappeared?”
Ovchinnikov: “Well, I stopped and stopped, we have a lot of clients.”
That is, now the same counterparty as VLK was communicating with us. For some reason, no one judges them for their 18% profit.
13:58 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
"Are traders a common phenomenon?" - asks Navalny.
"Yes".
Navalny: “Can we consider that you bought materials from Kirovles, sold them to someone and thereby caused them damage?”
Witness: "What kind of question?!"
Laughter in the hall.
13:53 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
“If we compare relations with KOGUP Kirovles and VLK, was there any difference?” - asks the prosecutor.
Witness: “There were some differences, but I don’t remember.”
“Do I understand correctly that Vlada LLC is also an intermediary in the sale of forest products?” — Oficerov’s lawyer asks.
Yes, the witness confirms, we are intermediaries.
Ofitserov's lawyer asks whether the prices at which Vlada LLC bought from Kirovles differed from the prices at which they bought from VLK?
“If they differed, it was only slightly. Or maybe they didn’t differ at all,” the lawyer suggests.
Witness: “Or maybe they weren’t different at all.”
13:53 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
The woman is indignant: “Why is it written here: “Putin is a thief”? Where are the facts? I’ll go now and remove this, what will happen to me?”
Policeman: "I'll just turn away."
13:52 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
A new banner was unfurled outside the courtroom.
13:52 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
The banner is unfurled to Shevchuk’s song “You are not alone”

The head of the Moscow branch of the People's Alliance party, Nikolai Lyaskin, explains to Kirov residents the essence of Navalny's trial.
13:47 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Ovchinnikov is the director of Vlada LLC, which purchased lumber from Kirovles. Confuses KOGUP and VLK. Can't remember the volume of production.
13:43 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
The exhausted Kuzyakin is released. Witness Roman Ovchinnikov is invited into the hall and his rights are read to him.
13:41 Ilya Barabanov, special correspondent of Kommersant Publishing House
I watch the interrogation of another witness and remember my school chemistry lessons. The witness looks like a student who has not learned the assignment at the blackboard.
13:39 Georgy Alburov, member of the organizing committee of the People's Alliance party
They want to steal Putin the Thief again (the second one for today).
13:33 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Kuzyakin does not remember the million-dollar debts (Bastrygina spoke about them), he says that they were minimal - 5-10 thousand rubles.
13:24 Anna Veduta, press secretary of Alexei Navalny
Our Nepomnyashchiy claims that he did not sell it to anyone cheaper than VLK, while he hesitates and mumbles about the first counterexample from the case documents.
13:22 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Kuzyakin does not remember either the volume of products shipped or the names of contractors. I don’t remember the average prices for timber either.

13:16 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Navalny asks if Kuzyakin saw him at a meeting of forestry directors, did he represent Ofitserov and say that everything should be sold through VLK?
Kuzyakin replies: “I don’t remember.” He doesn’t remember the general topic of the conversation.
Navalny: “Why did you remember my last name then?”
Kuzyakin: “I don’t remember the details of the conversation.”
13:09 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Kuzyakin’s testimony is reminiscent of the testimony of all previous directors of forestry enterprises: he answers quietly and inaudibly.
The prosecutor asks to remember the meeting at which Opalev and Officers were. Kuzyakin says that he could not help but follow Opalev’s instructions.
13:04 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
The hearings resumed after a break. Lawyer Kobelev temporarily withdrew from the process. Dmitry Kuzyakin was invited to testify; in 2009, he headed the Kirovo-Chepetsk forestry enterprise.
11:49 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Bastrygina was released. The court hearing is adjourned until 13:00.
11:44 Anna Veduta, press secretary of Alexei Navalny
N: “Is it possible to see the analysis that you did about VLK regarding the alleged “complaints of directors”?
B: “It was probably a letter or a note.”
Bastrygina remembered the billion-dollar turnover and the amount of debt.
N: “At this rate, was the note only for VLK?”
B: “I don’t remember.”
11:35 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
Officers discuss types of wood with Bastrygina. Bastrygina claims that VLK took only high-quality, so-called “commercial wood”, and did not take low-grade wood. Officers claim that the carriages contained up to 45 percent low-grade wood. Bastrygina says five.
At the moment of discussing whether the aspen matchstick is high-grade or low-grade wood, Bastrygina’s phone rings - a very funny call, everyone laughs. The phone then rang several more times until Gudkov helped turn off the sound.
Ofitserov’s lawyer asks the witness what she understands by the concepts of “lost profit” and “lost profit.”
“In your opinion, is mediation a crime?” - the lawyer asks.
Bastrygina does not consider intermediary activity a crime.
11:33 Anna Veduta, press secretary of Alexei Navalny
This, my friends, is what the phone number of a person SURVIVING ON FIVE JOBS looks like. All in gold and with LV engraving.
11:30 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Bastrygina’s cell phone rings loudly and insistently several times; she again gives it to Gudkov, who is sitting in the front row.
11:17 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
When asked why Bastrygina left her job at Kirovles, she answered: “At her own request.”
Navalny: “You applied of your own free will. What were the reasons for your leaving?”
Bastrygina: “I was ignored as an employee.”
Navalny: “Who ignored you as an employee?”
Bastrygina: “Can I not answer the question?”
Navalny explains that the reason was the actual removal of Opalev and Bastrygina in connection with the initiation of a criminal case against Opalev: “Because a criminal case was opened. A series of criminal cases and abuses at the enterprise were the reason.”
Bastrygina: “Why did you evict me from the office?”
Navalny: “I evicted you from the office because I wanted to disperse you all!”
11:15 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
Navalny: “Were you aware that the governor made a special trip to Solikamsk to increase quotas for Kirovles?”
Bastrygina: “I was not involved in the sale of timber.”
Navalny: “This was a significant event for Kirovles - the governor agreed on supply quotas, but no deliveries happened. Why?”
Bastrygina: “I was not involved in sales.”
Navalny: “You were involved in sales, but, nevertheless, you were so interested in VLK.”
11:12 Anna Veduta, press secretary of Alexei Navalny
N: “As an economist, did you understand that KOGUP’s debt cannot be erased?”
B: “I understood.”
N: “You spoke with Opalev, explained what procedure is used to repay the debt?”
B: "Yes."
N: “You say that you were not involved in sales, but you know very well what is happening with VLK, why?”
B: “I gave documents to the auditors.”
N: “Why on VLK? Have you heard that I or Officers promised money, gifts, bribes to Opalev?”
B: "No."
N: “Were they offering financial benefits?”
B: "No, never."

10:58 Maria Eismont/PublicPost
Navalny: “How often were meetings held about the state of Kirovles?”
Bastrygina: “Quite often.”
Navalny: “Can we say that Kirovles was the largest debtor of all the enterprises in the Kirov region?”
Bastrygina: “At that time, yes.”
Navalny: “And despite the fact that this was discussed all the time, were you upset that Kirovles was not discussed at this meeting? You said that you cried because it was insulting that Kirovles was discussed.” But it’s true that at this meeting I accused you and Opalev of corruption?
Bastrygina: “There was a phrase that all three thousand people who worked at the enterprise were thieves.”
Navalny: “Clarify: did I say that three thousand people are thieves or that Opalev, his relatives and you set up a corruption shop?”
Bastrygina: “I don’t remember.”
Navalny: “Did Ofitserov say that your transportation prices are three times higher than market prices?”
Prosecutors ask that the question be withdrawn. Navalny explains that these questions are directly relevant to the case, because the whole case is based on the testimony of those witnesses whom Navalny accused of corruption.
10:55 Anna Veduta, press secretary of Alexei Navalny
N: “You said that you cried because you were discussing VLK and not KOGUP. Do you remember how I accused you and Opalev’s family members of corruption?”
B: "Yes."
N: “So you confirm that at this meeting I accused you, Opalev and members of his family of corruption and theft in Kirovles?”
B: “Yes, it was.”
N: “Do you remember that at the meeting I said that the Kirovles Project was created and with the help of it theft schemes were carried out?”
B: “I don’t remember.”
N: “Do you know, Deputy General Director, that 45 million rubles were transferred to this office, headed by Opalev’s son?”
B: "No."
10:53 Daniil Kolomiychuk/PublicPost
Navalny asks Bastrygina to remember the meeting with Governor Belykh. He asks why she was crying? Bastrygina replies that she was offended that the meeting dealt with the issues of VLK, and not Kirovles.
10:50 Anna Veduta, press secretary of Alexei Navalny
N: “Was it Arzamastsev’s order to check only VLK during the audit of KOGUP?”
B: "No."
N: “Then why did they only check “VLK”?”
N: “The documents for the audit were provided by Bastrygina, passing only documents related to VLK. She fabricated this conclusion.”
Navalny convicts Bastrygin in inconsistent indications. The judge sides the witness. Navalny insists on his question
10:42 Maria Aismont
Navalny: "If you had a car and I would ask you to sell it for three rubles, would you agree?"
Bastrygina: "No."
Initial: "Well, everything, our deal did not take place. Is there a lost benefit from this transaction?"
10:36 Daniil Kolomiychuk/Publicpost
Bastrygina does not like laughter in the hall. She turns around and says: "Are you on the circus, or something, have you come?"
“Worse,” says Gennady Gudkov.
10:30 Daniil Kolomiychuk/publicpost
Blinov: "In connection with the contradictions, the testimony of Bastrygina, given at the stage of the preliminary investigation, are announced." Indications regarding the size of the damage are read out by Navalny. The accusation asks to read his whole paragraph so that the phrase is not torn from context. Navalny reads.
10:27 Anna Vedyta, press secretary of Alexei Navalny
The judge establishes new rules of questions for the witness: Navalny asks a question, the court and the prosecution decide whether he is acceptable, then the witness.
Davydova, referring to the Code of Criminal Procedure, indicates to the judge that the decision is not justiceing and demonstrates his singing to the party. The judge agrees reluctantly.

Navalny about Bastrygina
10:11 Daniil Kolomiychuk/publicpost
Interrogation continues in high colors. Judge Blinov announces a five -minute break. Everyone except Bastrygina leave the hall.
10:04 Maria Aismont
Bastrygina: "I am left without work, I have to live. I am leading 5 enterprises, I remember these documents, and I don’t remember everything there."
Navalny: "Then we will talk about how you were left without work."
Discuss the issue of determining the quality of wood.
Bastrygina: "You are not a specialist in forestry."
Navalny: "I have already become a specialist!"
Bastrygina: "No, not steel. The quality of wood is determined when it stands in the root, and not when it lies."
10:02 Maria Aismont
“We went down to the office ...” - says Bastrygina Navalny about a meeting with him and Opalev, on which the defendant, according to her previous testimonies, allegedly said that everything should be sold through the “VLK”.
"You gave a characteristic of Kirovles and promised to help. They said that the contract would be revised."
Navalny interrupts: "What was said at that meeting? About a single trading platform (this refers to one of the ideas of Navalny about the forest exchange that was not sold) or about the sale of all products through the" VLK "?"
Navalny: "The witness is either confused or consciously says a lie."
Bastrygina: "You are trying to confuse me."
Judge Blinov: "You are trying to ask the same questions, but differently, so that she changes the testimony."
10:00 Anna Vedita, spokeswoman Alexei Navalny
Navalny reformulates the question over and over again, finding out if Bastrygin insisted that he was at a meeting and represented an officer. As a result, Bastrygina admits that he does not remember for sure. Perhaps Navalny said this to the meeting, or maybe on it. She does not know for sure, she forgot.
Navalny: "What a meeting and who said what?"
The judge is taking off the question.
Navalny tries to find out when and under what circumstances she heard about the "VLK".
It was not possible to find out from the witness Bastrygina, when, where and from whom she heard a phrase about the implementation through the "VLK". The judge removed the question.
09:56 Maria Aismont/Publicpost
Bastrygin answered the prosecution questions very briskly. In particular, she said that at the meeting with Shcherchkov, where the director of the forestry was present, Navalny introduced the officer and announced that now the products would be sold through the VLK.
Navalny: “At the meeting, about whom you are talking about, there were dozens of people - many of them performed here in court and not one said that I was an officer at this meeting. Tell me who gives false testimonies? Are you or all of them? Are you warned about giving false testimony. "
Bastrygina: "Well, I definitely can’t say, five years have passed, but the fact that you were at this meeting is for sure."
Navalny: "Then tell the court and the prosecution: do you remember that I represented Officer at this meeting?"
Bastrygina: "Maybe you did not introduce him at the meeting, but you presented it as directors. Maybe this was not then, but at another time."

09:54 Maria Aismont
Larisa Bastrygina is perhaps the main evidence of the prosecution after Owls. Conducting the post of deputy leader Kirovles (many called it the main economist), she had a very good idea of the financial condition of the enterprise. The witness looks very confident, speaks loudly and, it seems, remembers all the details associated with the "VLK". At the same time, to the question of Navalny about other debts of Kirovles, hundreds of millions of rubles are not answered with such accuracy.
09:39 Daniil Kolomiychuk/Publicpost
Blinov asks: "Was it clear that the pressure was on Opilyu?"
Bastrygina: "He did not tell me, but I, in the first specialty, is a teacher, so I saw that something was wrong with him."
Navalny asks when the Kirovles enterprise was formed and what was the amount of debt.
Bastrygina does not remember, then he estimates her at hundreds of millions of rubles.
09:33 Anna Vedyta, spokeswoman Alexei Navalny
How is it difficult to speak Bastrygina. Each word after a heavy sigh. And the prosecution has prepared today. They don’t correct her hair.
09:31 Maria Aismont/Publicpost
A taxi driver who takes me to court today, to the question "Do you follow the process?" He hesitated and began to look for something on his phone. I thought that he simply did not want to answer, but finally he found what he was looking for on the phone, and proudly demonstrated: a photo with Nemtsov at the puppet theater.
- That is, I see you are watching.
“Yesterday on TV there was a very interesting program,” he answered. - At 23:20, it seems. About all this opposition. How they sold the whole of Russia.
I still did not understand on whose side he was, but, obviously, aware of the matter. In the early days of the court, more than half of the taxi drivers sincerely asked: "Who is Navalny?"

For the first Putin-brew for today, they came.
09:17 Daniil Kolomiychuk/publicpost
Bastrygina talks about problems with the implementation of low -grade wood. According to her, the director of the forestry at first was indignant at the fact that all products should go through the "VLK".
The agreement with the "VLK", which was shown to her Opalev, in her opinion, was extremely unprofitable for Kirovles. “You signed yourself a death sentence,” she said Opaleva.
09:16 Anna Vedyta, spokeswoman Alexei Navalny
The witness decided to give her constantly calling phone to the prosecutors. Her voice breaks away. VERY INTERESTING.
09:08 Daniil Kolomiychuk/publicpost
The first witness - Larisa Bastrygina is invited to testify. In 2009, she was the deputy industry of Kirovles.
According to Bastrygina, for the first time Navalny, she saw at a meeting at Shcherchkov, the deputy governor of the Kirov region, who was also responsible for the forest industry. Navalny did not imagine who he was, she did not know. She was simply told that this person would help to solve problems.

Vladimir from Samara, we already wrote about him before . Many cars passing by the court building are alarm.
According to investigators, Alexey Navalny, a member of the opposition Coordination Council, blogger, creator of the RosPil and RosZhKH projects, organized the theft of timber in 2009, when he was an adviser to the governor of the Kirov region. Together with the director of Vyatka Forestry Company LLC, Pyotr Ofitserov , and the general director of KOGUP Kirovles, Vyacheslav Opalev, he stole 10 thousand cubic meters of forest products from May to September 2009, the Investigative Committee says. As a result, the Kirov region missed more than 16 million rubles from the budget.
Navalny was accused of organizing a large embezzlement of someone else's property (Article 33, Article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), Ofitserov - of complicity (Article 33, Article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Vyacheslav Opalev admitted guilt and decided to make a deal with the investigation, so his criminal case was investigated separately. As a result, the court found the general director of Kirovles guilty, and the whole process is based on his confession.
