Say a word about the poor Pomeranian

On the same day, when all progressive humanity posted on Facebook a quote from John Donna about a man who is not an island ... On the same day that he was carried out in Kirov verdict in the Kirovles case… Ivan Moseev found out that the Oktyabrsky District Court of Arkhangelsk dismissed his lawsuit against Sberbank, which blocked Moseev in December 2012 payroll account.

Not all, they probably remember who Moseev is. But maybe a little more people remember Savva Terentiev. There was such a young man in Komi, in Syktyvkar, he wrote in LiveJournal about "infidel cops". He was later given a suspended sentence for "inciting hatred" against social group of policemen, and soon Savva emigrated and received the status refugee. All in friendly ranks stood up for him, made noise at press conferences and wrote angry articles ... Savva, compared to some other convicts for extremism by citizens - a natural warmonger (although, in conscience speaking, and he did not commit a crime), he also got off lightly.

In the neighboring Ivan Ivanovich Moseev lives with the Komi Republic of the Arkhangelsk region. Perceptible for Arkhangelsk public figure. Ivan Moseev - Director of Pomor Institute of Indigenous and Minorities of the Northern Arctic Federal University (NarFU), President of the Association of Pomors of the Arkhangelsk Region, where included two Pomor public organizations closed in 2011 by a decision court, which determined that these organizations are illegal, since Pomors are not included in Unified list of indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation.

In general, Ivan Ivanovich is a public activist with experience, he is friends with various public forces (starting with Solidarity and ending with Russian nationalists), is engaged in protection of the rights of Pomors and the development of Pomor culture since the “perestroika”. Then However, in 1991, Moseev wrote and published his only "theoretical" text about the problem of self-determination of Pomors. Oh, if only he knew how it would turn out after 20 plus years!

Until 2011 On the whole, the activities of the Pomors-socialists proceeded well. Moreover, the administration of the Arkhangelsk region favorably perceived the initiatives Moseev and his comrades, to whom, in particular, Norwegians were attracted (Moseev - in general, a supporter of the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe existence of a single cultural community Barents Region), with pleasure organized various folklore Events. And the activity of Moseev, not only a cultural trader, but also an active a fighter for the Pomors to receive the status of an indigenous and small people of the North, didn't seem to bother anyone. And this status, among other things, has important practical meaning: Pomors, which according to the results of the last census the population of the Arkhangelsk region is a little more than two thousand people, mostly live compactly, in several villages, and are engaged in traditional trade - they catch fish, beat a seal and pick berries.

But in the summer of 2011 year (shortly after the Congress of the Association) the situation changed. From loyal social activist Moseev through the efforts of some news agencies and websites in in the eyes of readers suddenly turned into a rogue, a pseudoscientist and in general covert (and then overt) agent of an external enemy.

he is a rogue because he is engaged in the humanities, having only a medical degree, a pseudoscientist - because he defends the point of view on the Pomors as a sub-ethnos. And refers to an example of Kamchadals, who are comparable in number to Pomors, but have the status indigenous small people.

Question, by the way, not so simple; some ethnographers consider the Pomors a sub-ethnic group and indigenous people of the North, others believe that this is only an ethnographic phenomenon. But Moseev's critics, however, are not preoccupied with scientific discussion, but declare that "in Arkhangelsk and its environs do not yet have either an ethnos or a sub-ethnos. They are still being “made”.

And the enemy of course, because he constantly cooperates with the Norwegians: he organizes joint sea ​​expeditions, trips of the inhabitants of the Arkhangelsk region to Norway, published multilingual Pomeranian Tales, etc. In February 2011, on behalf of the Association Pomors of the Arkhangelsk Region signed the so-called Pomor Agreement (an international social agreement on cooperation between the border regions of Russia and Norway). Moreover, the Association consists of "honorary Pomors" several high-ranking Norwegians! Of course, this is "an unceremonious intervention in internal affairs of a neighboring state.

chief material for accusing the leader of the Association of Pomors of separatism for critics became the very article of 1991 in which the author suggested Arkhangelsk areas "become an independent, cultural region, free from the status colonies." Common place for that time. But the wind has changed.

And here is the year ago, the FSB conducted a search at Moseev's, seized computers, and, as it turned out, subsequently, filed a case immediately under Article 275 of the Criminal Code (high treason) with clear intention to bring the matter to landing. However, the case of high treason chairman of the Association of Pomors has not yet reached the court, it is not even known, in what stage is the case (since it is being in secrecy). It is only known that in the course of the investigation it was decision on operational-search measures, on the basis of which the suspect was placed under surveillance, his mail is viewed, and his calls are bugged.

All in all, spy Moseev or not a spy, the public is not yet known, but about the second she knows perfectly well the criminal case against him. July 15, 2012 vs. him a criminal case was initiated under Part 1 of Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (initiation of a national hatred) - for the comment under Anatoly Bednov's article "Pomorye in the Eurasian world" on the site "Echo of the North". The horribly subversive comment was: “What are you will you do with us? You are millions of rednecks, and we are 2,000 people.”

attracted consequently, the expert linguist regarded the comment as a public call to extremist activity "against the national group "Russians" from the personal hostility towards persons of this nationality.

Let me remind you about long-suffering Savva Terentyev. Don't you think that Moseev's comment much more innocent? And the initiation of a criminal case on such an insignificant about it looks completely absurd.

Moseev flatly refused to admit guilt. He claims that the ill-fated phrase he didn’t write, he doesn’t use the word “cattle” and, in general, he always sleeps at two in the morning (it's funny, but this detail seems convincing to me: Moseev is a "lark", he lies down; I can’t imagine a person specifically waking up in the middle of the night, to write filth on the Internet). Argument of the investigation that the comment was left with his IP, looks ridiculous: the provider, whose services Moseev uses, in official reference claimed that the comment was made not from static, but from dynamic address - but the court, of course, does not understand the technical details became.

We will not ask a rhetorical question what the site administration did, which includes deleting illegal comments. Most likely asleep, what else can be done at two o'clock in the morning. The screenshot of the seditious page successfully got into criminal case. The case was taken to court, which successfully dismissed all arguments of the defense, and on March 1, 2013 Ivan Moseev was found guilty under Part 1 of Art. 282 of the Criminal Code (inciting hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation of human dignity) and sentenced to a fine of 100 thousand rubles (May 24 Arkhangelsk The regional court dismissed his appeal).

In short, Moseev was fined for a brief, not very polite comment on a little-visited local website, despite the fact that the activist did not seem to write this comment.

But it's like It turned out that this was not the end of Ivan Ivanovich's misadventures. After December 14 data were entered by Rosfinmonitoring in the state "List of organizations and individuals in respect of whom there is information about their involvement in extremist activity or terrorism”, his Russian bank accounts were blocked, and he has no right to open new ones. Since then, Moseev has not was able to access the account. Repeated requests clarifications remained unanswered, while Sberbank operators explain problems with access to the account of the program crash.

Besides, other Russian banks refuse to open an account for him as an "undesirable client" and make tax payments and fines.

But it's not only in the difficulty of paying taxes. May 13 Office of the Ministry of Justice of Russia for Arkhangelsk region and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug issued a warning Association of Pomors of the Arkhangelsk region, in which it demanded to exclude Moseev from the organization as included in the list of Rosfinmonitoring. Other public organizations in which the newly minted "extremist" is a member received an order to exclude him from their ranks, and the prosecutor's office in Arkhangelsk region warned NArFU rector Elena Kudryashova that Moseev’s work as an “extremist” not allowed at the university.

amazing coincidence: shortly before the unfolding hostilities in the territory compact residence of the Pomors discovered a large diamond deposit, the second in the Arkhangelsk region. Mining is expected to start at the end of 2013, the license to develop the field is held by the company "Arkhangelskgeoldobycha" (owner - OAO "Lukoil"). And if the Pomors are recognized indigenous people of the North, then any economic activity, in including the development of diamond deposits on their territory, it will be necessary to coordinate them (and without this consent it will not be possible to carry out it), and they will be entitled to compensation for "damages caused to them as a result of causing damage to the original habitat. It is clear that the developers have only expenses.

And the court denied Moseev in a lawsuit to unblock his bank account. "Main Pomor" upset and waiting for a change in punishment. He signed a paper under which he undertook to pay the fine determined by the court until May 24, but was able to pay off only 20 thousand out of 100. Now he is threatened with mandatory work (the prosecutor's office seems to be sure that and will be). And progressive humanity will not notice the deed of some dubious "extremist", not a blogger and not a politician. So what did John Donne say about bell?
