Konstantin Zharinov: "You will press, and then look - there is a lot of superfluous"

Last week in the Central District Court of Chelyabinsk, a consideration of the case of the activist of the “Civil Movement of the Southern Urals” Konstantin Zharinov began. He is accused of calling for extremist activity for repost on the VKontakte network of the propaganda text of the Right Sector. The text, indeed, contained calls for the "creation of partisan detachments" and the "destruction of military infrastructure." But Zharinov himself soon deleted the text from his page. Zharinov told the OVD-Info about his business.

- The court refused to return the case to the prosecutor?

- Yes, this is the main result of the two meetings. We emphasized that the examinations were carried out not entirely correct, that it was not proved in the case that I had an intent to extremist calls ... But the judge decided differently.

-How much did the post sagged on your page, because of which the case was started?

- About 60 hours.

- Why did law enforcement officers read your account?

- Probably, they watched me ... I participated in the picket of anti -war, in environmental pickets. Apparently, they put control and took advantage of such my negligence.

- Why did you hang this post and why deleted?

- I deleted after the prosecutor's office reacted to this. Maybe he would have removed him so, would pay attention to the fact that he is not entirely appropriate. Often some garbage appears on the wall. Click, and then look - there is a lot of superfluous.

- When it became known that you had a case?

- After about two months, they informed me.

- The prosecutor called you, sent Mail that the post needs to be deleted?

- Well, I went to the prosecutor’s office, they wrote me a warning there. The first to pay attention to the police from the department for combating extremism, they were connected and connected. They called me and say that I have something bad on my page. I did not even understand what it was about, I thought, a misunderstanding.

- And you are also engaged in the history of terrorism ...

- Yes, you can drive my name into the search engines. At the request of "Zharinov Terrorism" you will find my books, I have a TerrorIstica.info site.

- Police, FSB your research activity is also annoying?

- Why is it annoying? I even had experience, I gave a lecture for one of the police departments. True, they didn’t invite me anymore.

- Are there any statistics, how many people have viewed this post in 60 hours?

- No. I tried to find out, but VKontakte representatives replied that they did not provide such information - this is their official position. There would be such data - it would be clear that it is good if five people. Who needs it at all? I have not some kind of publicity.

- How many freeds do you have?

- Now for 300, in the spring it was smaller, over 200.

- And you are threatened until four years old?

-Yes, yes, the 280th article.

- How did the investigation go?

- Pretty routinely. We ordered our examinations, they are our own. That's the whole consequence.

- In the case, there are also materials of the wiretap of your phone?

- The next day, as they announced to me that they had a job, put the phone on wiretap. Maybe they also listened before, I can’t say ... They introduced the materials of the wiretaps within one day. I talked with reporters, as it is with you, explained what happened. I don’t even know what they are trying to prove it.

- The case against you led the FSB. Have you had to face this department before?

- No, besides traffic police, I had no violations.

- Where did the ED operators come from your phone?

- I submitted notifications for a rally, picket - they have such a manner, to make warnings so that the law on mass events would not be violated.

- How many times have you been interrogated?

- The investigation stretched from May to August, there were 5-6 interrogations.

- Why did the FSB need your business?

-No matter how many versions are the system ... In my opinion, for them this is routine work. Chelyabinsk was a depth of the Soviet Union, and now - the border with Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan, of course, is not the most dangerous country, but for Kazakhstan - Uzbekistan, and the border is open. There is every “Hizb U-Tahrir”, the devil knows what is happening ... Like the FSB is much more interesting to do, we already had a little business ... Yes, I can’t say that in my case they beat a hoof ...
