The activities of the combat organization of Russian nationalists were supervised by the presidential administration. According to Mediazona, this was announced at the hearing in the group in the Moscow Regional Council by the witness of Yevgeny Hasis, delivered from the Mordovian IK-14 general regime, where she is serving an 18-year term for complicity in the murder of Lawyer Stanislav Markelova and journalist Anastasia Baborova.
Born had two leaders, Hasis said. The ideologist of the organization was Ilya Goryachev, and the technical organizer was Nikita Tikhonov. Goryachev, Hasis explained, had no authority in the circles of right -wing militants, so he needed Tikhonov, who had such an authority with such an authority.
The curator of Born in AP was Leonid Simunin, also known as the former head of the Lyubertsy branch of the Prochremlin movement "Local". Earlier, Oleg Kashin accused Simunin of involvement in the attempt that the journalist was subjected to in November 2010. In August 2014, the New Gazeta wrote that the functionary was sent by the Kremlin in the "DPR" supposedly to provide assistance in the field of energy.
According to Hasis, Simunin in open text ordered Goryachev the murder of an FSB officer, promising to pay 5 thousand euros for this. Goryachev handed the order to Tikhonov, but he flatly refused the proposal, saying that he was a revolutionary, and not a hired killer.
In the fall of 2009, the witness added, Goryachev told Tikhonov that it would be desirable to kill any judge - which one, it doesn’t matter. He handed Tikhonov a list of judges who were doing against the nationalists. This list was Eduard Chuvashov, whose murder, committed in April 2010, is charged with the defendants in the case. As Kasparov.ru clarifies , the judges Vladimir Usov and Natalya Olichver also fell into this list.
Among the scheduled victims Born was also lawyer Vadim Kluvgan, known for the defense of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and later - the Swamp Prisoner of Nikolai Caucasian. In addition, Hasis said that the options for murders of the St. Petersburg journalist by the name of Boyko and his namesake of the operative were considered, but she did not specify what power structure this security forces belongs to.

Thus, the accused is charged with the creation of an extremist community, banditry, murder and attempted murder, an encroachment on the life of an employee of a law enforcement agency, and the illegal turnover of weapons. All four are threatened with life sentences.
Isaev pleads the guilt in full, wolves and Bablagin - partially, Tikhomirov completely denies his guilt.
