Reading technique

Hearing in the "Swamp business": Tenth day

On July 17, the court began to hear the protocols for the inspection of video materials, which captured events on May 6, 2012 on Bolotnaya Square. With details from the courtroom especially for The New Times, the defendant Masha Baronova.

Maria Baronova argues with the bailiff

Wednesday, July 17. Today it should continue ... Something should definitely continue, but this is what-as usual, is unknown. Yesterday it seemed to promise to continue the interrogations of witnesses of the prosecution and the “victims from the events of May 6”, but today there are rumors that they will go right to the video. And the witnesses? Well, witnesses of the prosecution will ever return. If they do not quit and not emigrate to Mars, if only not to come to this court, from which from all sides it blows hopeless and betrayal.

Everything is already on duty and for a long time at work, they continue to discuss the issue of what exactly will happen today, and in general they understand that nothing. It remains only to envy the prosecutors and the judge. They at least pay for this.

I decided to paint right at the table of the defendant, and one of the photographers, apparently, received a more than controversial shot. But somehow it doesn’t matter. Once it still becomes and any reflection disappears. Thanks to the Sun in for this. As well as a society that needs Frisbee, Fandraizing, Mitballs, Trends, Converses, Smuses, Headfands, Brainstorming, Soksa and let's already be a Begin to stick on the ONLI. Wi Don NID Fictions and the Swamp business about "some losers." Wi Ned Only Piknik Eurys. About the losers, by the way, is a literal quote from a person very noticeable in the opposition history.

The court begins with an attempt by Sergei Krivov to file a petition that he began to submit on July 10. We still do not know what kind of petition this is, since so far we have heard from the whole text only this: "Your honor, I want to make a petition."

“Krivov, until I gave you a word,” the judge says.

And Sergey sits on a bench in a cage. Probably, we will finally hear this petition. Some day. In November. But, perhaps, immediately after the end of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Or 2022.

The word takes the prosecutor and claims that suddenly they changed their minds to interrogate witnesses and now we need to get acquainted with the protocols of the video examination. Lawyers notice that actually the court should go in orderly and it is worth either the interrogation of witnesses, or then first watch the video, and then read the protocols of their inspection.

The defendants offer each something of their own, but in general they agree with the position of lawyers that we first need the video itself, and then let's get the reading technique.

- Everyone spoke? That's it, ”said Judge Nikishin.

And he offers a decision that must satisfy everyone at once. But it seems to never satisfy anyone. Because everyone will always wait for a catch. The judge decides that the “evidence must be examined” in this order: the protocol is the described video - the protocol - the described video. Everything is fine, only in the first protocol of 80 pages. So today is the turn to read boring texts, sleep and think that it is forever.

The prosecutor, a young woman of about thirty (however, they are all young women of about thirty), begins to read out loudly into the microphone of the inspection of all video materials. Among the list of seized videos is the main material, the main evidence of Red Day on May 6: "Record the Internet show of Minaev-LIV with comments of the host." And I understand that the entire Minaev-Live team, all the people who then worked at the Retr-TV will remain forever in history in the role of those people who created this very “evidence”. A year and a half of professional work, and one result - the prosecutor reads the inspection protocol of five hours of your show. Cool, cho. Remember this, pretty boys and girls who "just did their job." Only for this you performed it.

I'm starting to doze. No, I'm starting to sleep. Because I clearly have a dream of some kind of dream for ten minutes. The inspection protocol itself looks, frankly, strange. In it, the investigator Gurkin is constantly mentioned by a nameless crowd, in which some people are given exactly the same surnames that people who are sitting now in the cage behind me and next to me, and I desperately try to fall asleep so as not to kill anyone. Nevertheless, it will also be inconvenient to earn the 105th article right in the courtroom. Too many witnesses.

At some point in the text of the investigator, the surname of Rybachenko arises on a regular basis, to which Vladimir Akimenkov asks to notice that there was finally some surname in the protocol, but there is no such person among us.

After a couple of hours, a lunch break is announced, and after the break, the second prosecutor continues to read with the expression protocol. After 15 minutes, everyone suddenly begins to revive. In the protocol there is a list of slogans that were pronounced as protesters.

- We are power here! - the prosecutor reads - and everyone wakes up.

- Revolution! - And the hour ceases to be languid.

- Crooks and thieves - five minutes for training! - In the hall there are laughter.

- One, two, three - Putin, go away! ..

- Wait! Your honor, ”notes the lawyer Badamshin,“ there are still slogans, why doesn’t it read the accusation to the end?!

“There is an obscene word,” says the prosecutor with the feet of such a length that every time I have envy of the 146th level.

“Well, it probably does not characterize the protesters poorly,” the lawyer Agravsky gets up. - Read this word!

The prosecutor excitedly approaches Judge Nikishina, and she reads out loud.

-Three, two, once, Putin ...-Ah, well, everything is clear,-trying to preserve a calm look, the judge states. And he adds, referring to the prosecutors: "Read what you see."

Everyone calms down again, and a boring but solemn reading of the protocol continues. In the free text of the investigator Gurkin-a chubby intelligent boy of about 25 years old-a description of the continuous atrocities of citizens using the names of the defendants and some other people continues. And the whole police, based on this beautiful text, at that moment clearly stood holding her hands at the seams and prayed in the name of Rashid Gumarovich Nurgaliev. At least, nothing similar to the beating of the protesters in the text never appeared.

- Can I still have a proposal? - Croes rises. - I propose all the names of the defendants whom the investigator Gurkin has never seen in his life, to replace Gurkin with the last name.

The proposal for some reason deviates. After another half an hour, a nameless person already appears in the counted text nicknamed “visor”, to which the lawyer Kearmant notices that at this pace we will soon hear other thieves' nicknames.

In the end, all lawyers and defendants begin to get up in turn and inform the judge that the defendants are not familiar with Gurkin, he was never present on any identification, but for some reason he mentions their names when describing all the videos. It also mentions the names of some riot police, who - these are the bad luck - all were in helmets and uniforms, so it could not understand who was under the helmet, the investigator could not at all without an additional hint. By the way, I am familiar with Gurkin, I just met him two and a half months after November 25, 2012, when he wrote this creative. So he is just a visionary and knows how to see the future, and we are indignant.

At the moment of reading the prosecutor of the fascinating text: “There is no need to break the toilets, otherwise it is g ... - Multijack - ... but it will grow up,” the great trial cuts me again. Badamshin’s lawyer shame me for being in the best conditions and can afford to fall asleep in a convenient position, while people are sitting behind, four of which do not have a back that you can lean on. But to do in this situation, however, nothing is impossible. Fighting sleep even harder than on the first pair at the university. I dream of an audio road of the prosecutor’s voice, and for some reason there is a pine tree and sand around. Perhaps this is a hint of forested, but I want to hope that something good is still good.

At 17:45 the meeting ends. Before the court, the participants of the permitted picket are at the provision with the portraits of the Politicals, beat the drums and shout the name of each person involved in the “swamp”, and then add: “Freedom! Freedom! " Cars pass by, from which an encouraging one is sometimes heard: "Damn your America, traitors." It is good when fellow citizens have an active civic position. Comrade in police uniform carefully takes off all the participants in the picket on the camera. The crime is clear - to demand freedom.

Tomorrow, checking the reading technique will continue. Come.
