"COP opposition must urgently dissolve"
- This is not because I was disappointed in the opposition, because everything is bad, that these are all loafers, etc., as some are trying to imagine now. This is absolutely not why. It’s just that this body initially had structural problems. For example, the election of people there according to a different principle: through Kuria and through a general list. The coordination council between them was constant martial arts. This structural problem was not able to overcome. People who participate there did not have any more or less understandable common goals and general approach to business. As a result, the meetings became less and less saturated in meaning. Recently, it has come to extremes at all. Therefore, I do not want to spend time on participating in this. The problem is precisely structural. But it is easy to solve with the help of normal elections, and not elections for some incomprehensible undercover agreements.
- Earlier, deputy Oleg Shein, political analyst Andrei Piontkovsky, Akim Polchaev, Ekaterina Aitova came out of the coordination council of the opposition. Does this mean that the CS breaks up? That he has no future?
- I think that the KS is absolutely necessary to dissolve now. Not because this is a bad idea, not because there are bad people there, not because these are loafers who cannot do anything. Just when something does not work due to structural problems, it must be restarted. Now is the time to do it. If this is done, everything will be in order. In this form, he, of course, does not work.
- You leave the Constitutional Court. What about your participation in the protest Russian movement?
- Nothing has changed. My views, approaches and supporters have not gone anywhere. Those whom I support did not disappear. I am participating. Not disappointed. The reason is not that.
Recall that at the end of January of this year, the deputy from Fair Russia Oleg Shein left the Constitutional Court under the pressure of his one -party ones. He was nominated by an ultimatum: either he remains in the party, abandoning "participating in the protest promotions and the actions of the non -systemic opposition," or passes a party card.
On April 4, Andrei Piontkovsky announced the exit from the Constitutional Court. He considered offensive the fundraising for a new transfer of Leonid Parfenov announced at one of the meetings. Piontkovsky also criticized the unscrupulous, in his opinion, elections of the new secretary of the KS Marat Davletbaev. According to the political scientist, a group of members of the CS tried to "push him through him to this post. “I can’t let me spend the resource given to me on the conviction of adults in the obvious,” then explained his departure from the KS Piontkovsky.
Another member of the KS Rustem Adagamov was forced to leave Russia due to accusations of pedophilia. Now he lives in the Czech Republic and does not participate in the work of the Constitutional Court, like Ecologist Suren Gazaryan, who left the country, who, after one of the shares in defense of nature, was accused of attacking a police officer and opened a criminal case. Gazaryan now lives in Estonia.
Journalist Oleg Kashin formally remains a member of the Constitutional Court, but does not take part in his meetings. At a rally on May 6 this year, in support of the prisoners of Bolotnaya Square, Kashin went on stage, greeted everyone with the phrase "Christ Risen" and performed the song of Yegor Letov "Everything is on plan." Later, at a meeting of the KS, Ksenia Sobchak accused the journalist of "breaking the regulations" of the rally and almost tore off the entire event. Kashin himself stated that he considers the COP in his current form is a "legally incompetent structure."
