Why is Maidan more important than us?

On January 22, in the Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow, during the debate of the parties, the prosecutor's office demanded a huge time for the "Prisoners of Bolotnaya". But in the media the main topic is still confrontation in Ukraine

Court of court in the "Swamp case". Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow, January 20, 2014
For Sergey Krivov and Alexandra Naumova (Dukhanina), the state prosecution asked for 6 years in prison, for Yaroslav Belousov - 5 years, and for Denis Lutskevich, Artem Saveelov, Stepan Zimin, Andrei Barabanov and Alexei Polikhovich - 5 years and 6 months each. We were shocked. Honestly, we did not think at all that they would give such deadlines. 5, 6 years - this, of course, is too much. I thought they would ask for at least 2-3 years. But not five, not six years.

I was struck, of course, Lenya Kovyazin with Volodya Akimenkov. It can be seen that the guys were shocked by the requested deadlines. Although, in theory, they are free, something. Kovinizin, in my opinion, could not even speak for some time.

I am grateful to those who come to court. These are the same people. They supported, they are well done. They have been going on for seven months. They are like relatives to us: we know each other, greet, communicate. It is clear that all people work and could not always be present, because the courts went four times a week. The backbone gathered at 70: they always walked. That's all and fit on the ground floor where the broadcast went. And for the same Navalny, when he was given five years, 5-10 thousand people went to the arena. Maybe the authorities paid attention to this. I am not saying that Navalny is precisely because of this is free. But he was immediately changed by the measure of restraint, then they gave a conditional term. There were two: he and Peter the officers. There are eight guys, let's multiply eight to five - this is forty thousand to have come out. I think this would definitely change the situation.

On the same channel "Rain" Ukraine is in the first place. For some reason, events in Ukraine are more important for our country. And what was given to almost 50 years of eight guys - it doesn’t matter to them. They do not think about the citizens of their country. And then they wonder why people do not go to rallies. I do not think that “rain” is an opposition channel, but still he at one time covered in detail the “swamp business”. Let it be cable, it was the only channel that spoke about it. And when Plato Lebedev freed the Supreme Court, they put this news to the fore. It didn’t shock me, it just became a little offensive for the guys.
