The Moscow City Court refused to call doctors for the pain of Sergei Udaltsov and removed him from the hall for an indefinite period
The coordinator of the "Left Front" Sergey Udaltsov, one of the accused in the case of the organization of riots on Bolotnaya Square on May 6, 2012, was removed from the courtroom during a meeting on April 1. This happened after Udaltsov complained about poor health and asked to call the doctors. Prior to this, at the request of the court he was examined by doctors, and the court concluded that Udaltsov could participate in the meeting. In addition to Sergei Udaltsov, the defective of the “Left Front” Leonid Defzzzhaev is in this case in this case. Both oppositionist do not find guilty and consider the case politically motivated.According to the lawyers Sergei Udaltsov, the coordinator of the "Left Front" was on the sick leave since March 26, and the doctors had to take the decision to discharge on April 2. Despite this, Judge Alexander Zamashnyuk ordered Udaltsov for more than a year under house arrest for a meeting for more than a year. The judge decided to call doctors to assess the state of health of Udaltsov and concluded that he could take part in the meeting. The court also expressed doubt that the hospital sheet represented by the defendant is genuine.
The lawyer of Sergei Udaltsov, Violetta Volkov, claims that the doctors who examined Udaltsov, who allowed him to participate in the meeting, were not signed. According to the lawyer, medical documents may not contain at all the data that the court read out. Volkova herself, asking the court the opportunity to get acquainted with the originals of documents, received a warning that will be sent to the disciplinary commission.

- Violetta Volkova (@volkova_v) April 1, 2014- Udaltsov really feels bad. He did not look important and sat most of his time with his eyes closed, leaning on his arms, ”says Violetta Volkova . - It was evident that the presence at the hearing causes him torment. When an ambulance arrived and examined him, he concluded that there were no clinical data for hospitalization, but categorically refused to conclude whether daring to participate in the meeting or not. When the doctors left, Udaltsova became worse with every minute. He asked to call the doctor again, since he did not receive help, he was only offered to drink antispasmodics. The court left his statement unattended.
Sergei tried to object, saying that he was bad, and the court immediately concluded that Udaltsov should not be in this court session and, in principle, may not be allowed at the hearing until the very end, to the last word
Sergei tried to object, saying that he was bad, and the court immediately concluded that Udaltsov should not be in this court session and, in principle, may not be allowed at the hearing until the very end, to the last word. After that, the judge decided to bring Udaltsov out of the hall and make an appropriate entry into his personal file. If the court acted with a normal competitive bias, this would not have happened. In fact, the court decided to give Udaltsov the opportunity to cheer, without interrupting the order of meetings. Perhaps when Udaltsov is in order, the court will allow him to be present. It’s impossible to say anything for sure. I consider this behavior of the court absolutely illegal.
It is not the first time that Sergei Udaltsov’s lawyers are trying to achieve his medical examination, but the court refuses over and over again. Without this, says Violett Volkov , it is impossible to understand whether Sergey Udaltsov needs hospitalization:
-Most likely, Udaltsov worsened the old problems related to hunger strikes in 2011-2012 . Maybe the ulcer has escalated, but in order to find out, he needs to undergo an examination. But he was forbidden to undergo an examination. A doctor visits him at home, nurses come, take blood, but he cannot come to the medical institution and undergo an examination, because the court forbade him. And you can solve issues about its hospitalization only after this examination.
After the removal of Sergei Udaltsov, the meeting in the Moscow City Court continued. Participants in the process interrogated several witnesses of the prosecution.
The activists of the “Left Front” by Sergey Udaltsov and Leonid Razvoszhaev are accused of organizing riots on May 6, 2012 in Bolotnaya Square in Moscow and in an attempt to organize riots in other cities of Russia. According to investigators, Udaltsov, Razvozhaev, an activist of the Russian Socialist Movement Konstantin Lebedev, as well as the Georgian politician Givi Targamadze, prepared a power seizure of power in Russia. Targamadze gave Russian opposition advice and financed their activities. This version in court was confirmed by Konstantin Lebedev, who pleaded guilty and a year ago, sentenced to 2.5 years in the colony. Lebedev has already departed half the deadline, on April 3, the court will consider his application for parole.
Sergei Udaltsov and Leonid Razvoszhaev deny the guilt and consider this business - the revenge of the authorities for their political activity. Givi Targamadze, who, in the framework of this case, was arrested in absentia by the Russian court, according to the defense, denies any acquaintance with Udaltsov, Razvozzhaev and Lebedev.
In the near future, the Zamoskvoretsky court of Moscow will begin to consider another fragment of the “swamp business” - in relation to those who were detained in the “second wave”, almost a year after the events in Bolotnaya Square. Alexei Gaskarov, Alexander Margolin, Ilya Gushchina and Elena Kokhtarev are accused of participating in the riots and in applying force against police officers. On March 28, the case materials in their respect were submitted to the court. Also at the end of March, the President of Russia received a letter demanding that the "Prisoners of Bolotnaya". Under the appeal, 9 thousand people signed. Signatures were collected from November 2013 at the initiative of journalist Yevgeny Levkovich . In an interview with Radio, he spoke about the goals of activists and further protest plans:
- Our letter is the request of the meeting directly with President Putin in order to convey to him irrefutable, in our opinion, evidence of the innocence of people who are sitting behind a rally in Bolotnaya. I do not wait for reactions. I did this to cleanse my conscience, because I can’t do anything, and so that later there would be the opportunity to say that we wanted a dialogue. We want a dialogue, we are a lot, and if the authorities do not want dialogue, to some extent, probably, our hands are untied. Based on the answer, which should be within 30 days - and, most likely, it will be a formal unsubscription, we will think what to do next. In principle, and now we are already thinking. We will prepare an indefinite strike.
- And you are not afraid that such shares can give rise to new criminal cases?
- I'm not afraid of anything. I can’t imagine a “party of emigration” and are going to live here in Russia, and live as we live now, almost equivalent to life in prison. I have the opportunity to go to the store, move freely, drink 100 grams in some tavern, but freedom is still not this. There is absolutely no way to participate in any political, public life, without having been stopped by any invented law.
In fact, the state invites me to just lock up at home and sit there, and die quietly. I do not see a special difference between such a pastime and prisonIn fact, the state invites me to just lock up at home and sit there, and die quietly. I do not see a special difference between such a pastime and prison. I hope that we will be able to collect many people who are not afraid either and feel the same.
- The other day, the case was transferred to the court in relation to the "second wave" arrested in the "swamp case". You can assume how this business will develop against the background of the already completed?
- Absolutely the same. I think the guys will receive real terms, the question is only in quantity. Otherwise, it is no longer possible: if they put it, then how will they not put others? In this criminal case, they committed the same kind of offense, the witnesses are all the same, Bastrykin is the same, so what options? - ironizes Evgeny Levkovich .
In total, 28 people are defendants in the case of events on May 6, 2012 on Bolotnaya Square. 11 of them have already been convicted, many have received real sentences from 2.5 to 4.5 years in a colony.
