Word without protection

A story that can soon become trivial. Alexander Formoshev, a school teacher, a German teacher in the village of Kromy, Oryol region, in the spring of this year wrote and posted two poems on the Internet. One is called "Ukrainian patriots", the other - " Ukrainian rebels ." Feathev enthusiastically welcomed the revolution in Ukraine and its choice of a democratic, European path.

On March 29, 2014, in the local newspaper Zarya, under the heading of the resonance, a letter written in the genre of public denunciation in the newspaper A. Glotin and S. Kotov appeared. The heading of the publication is characteristic - there is no place in Russia "such" patriots ". The authors of the denunciation, who know exactly who has a place in Russia, and who does not, report at the beginning of the letter: "With indignation, we learned that one of the sites published a poem by our countryman A. Former."

The style is familiar, for dozens of Soviet years worked out to operational perfection. Well, further, as usual: “At a restless time, when the external enemies bared their teeth and hid in deadly jump, there are people who undermine Russia from the inside, acting like a fifth column ... while rallies pass throughout the country, food machines are sent, funds are gathering in support of civilians of Crimea and their willing will be included in the Russian Federation, they are located in the Russian Federation, and they are located in the Russian Federation. People who, by evil intent or by their misunderstanding, undermine the foundations of democracy. "

The Kromsky district prosecutor Maxim Grishin, in a commentary on the publication, reports that an anonymous denunciation for formerly received an anonymous denunciation of them and is now being involved in the Center for Combating Extremism of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Oryol region.

As he is engaged, it is probably not necessary to explain. The case was aroused and spun. More precisely, two things: one for the first poem, the other for the second. Probably, the Investigative Committee fulfills a plan for the number of initiated cases. They would have a job for each line, at worst for each stanza - then the plan would definitely be overfulfilled.

For the beginning, it was necessary to prove the extremist essence of the former poems. They excited civil proceedings on the recognition of poems by extremist. They sent a poem to the Ukrainian Patriots for a linguistic examination in the Moscow Guild of Experts on Documentation and Information Disputes (ROO "Gladys"). The answer is negative - there are no extremist calls in the poems. Then they decided to do without eminent experts and honored specialists, sent for a new examination to the forensic center (ECC) of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Oryol region. There are their people - they will not let you down.

Not let down. Two former graduates of the Oryol State University Svetlana Ryzhikova and Maria Tereshina (born in 1981 and 1985, respectively) wrote expert conclusions on order. “Naturally,” as expected, found in the poem what the prosecutor’s office was required: and negative statements in relation to the group of people on social and national attributes, and incitement of interethnic growth, and calls for illegal actions, etc., etc., in short, the entire “extremist set,” writes Alexander Fe..

On October 3, the court in Kromas at the next meeting recognized the poem "Ukrainian patriots" extremist . The court ignored the results of the linguistic examination conducted by the authoritative specialists of the Gladys Expert Center, including two doctors of sciences and one academician, but listened to the opinion of two young workers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who did not have any academic ranks. By the way, one of them, according to her own admission, has been working with similar examinations only since 2013.

Ahead of Alexander formerly the court under the 282nd article. Since the summer of this year, the sentence of punishment on it reaches 8 years. On August 16, the former was removed from work. They did not quit at all, since there is no court sentence, but left without a salary. He has two elderly parents on dependent. He does not have to wait for help from the intimidated residents of the 7,000th village of Kroma.

Nobody acts in defense of the former. Few people are interested in the provincial criminal case of a rural teacher. Human rights organizations are silent. The Russian Pen-Center does not stand up for the poet. The writer's organization, designed to defend brothers in Peru, is busy conducting international congresses, various hearings and global protection of freedom of speech. Apparently, the case of Alexander formerly the wrong caliber.
