On February 24, neo -Nazis from the group “Bill Organization of Russian Nationalists” (BORN) will perform in court with the last word.
Next is the jury verdict and the verdict. The New Times traced what questions the process of the gang answered and what remained a mystery 
The unexpected victims of Bourne, among the evidence of the guilt of the defendants, are the jury armored arsenal of the defendants, the detailed confessions of the right -wing radicals themselves and the testimonies of one of the founders of Born Nikita Tikhonov and his civil wife, Evgenia Hasis, convicted in 2011 for the murder of lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova.
But the most on the jury, judging by their reaction, the speeches of the relatives of the dead acted.
For example, a barely audible story by Svetlana Chuvashova, a mother of 47-year-old judge of the Moscow City Court Eduard Chuvashov, who was shot at the entrance of her house. “Woe that I wear in my heart cannot be conveyed in words. Let them not hope for forgiveness, the mother will always remind of the crime, - Chuvashova said through tears at the very beginning of the debate on February 11. - He told what matters he was considering - nationalists, skinheads. Behind a pile I forgot about security, so they killed. ” Each time Chuvashova turned to the defendants, they looked away, no one dared to look directly into her eyes. Judge Chuvashov presided in the processes over two right-winging gangs-“white wolves” and a group of market, who killed several dozen people. After that, the judge was given a pistol for self -defense and provided guard. He took the gun, and from the bodyguards, according to the press service of the Moscow City Court, he refused. The murder of a federal judge is a rare case, it was this crime that became the catalyst for the investigation in the Born case: the investigation, according to the victims, immediately intensified.
Donara Japaridze, the mother of the 20-year-old anti-fascist Ilya Japaridze, who was inflicted on 26 stab wounds and shot from the “injury”, also said. “Who gave you the right to take the life of another person? Are you messengers of God? You are reptiles, scum, humanoid animals, not people! ” - crying, said in the debate, dressed in black Donara. While she was speaking, not many jurors managed to restrain tears, and the defendants looked at the floor with a dedicated person throughout the performances (in the same way they behaved every time they showed the next evidence of their guilt - they showed the found arsenal or read out excerpts out of the wire).
It seems that mothers managed to reach out to some defendants. “The meeting left an oppressive impression, it is impossible to look indifferently at the misfortunes of other people,” Mikhail Volkov said at the hearing on February 16. He is accused of killing an 18-year-old member of the Black Hawks group Rasul Khalilov and 26-year-old anti-fascist Fedor Filatov. Khalilova Volkov shot himself alone, Filatova - hesitated with Tikhonov.
The reaction of the accused to the words of the victims was quite unexpected by the lawyer Isaev Marat Stepanov: “Baklagin and Isaev are not even members, but the victims of this Borne. Isaev could have drew, sat in Cambodia, Thailand, but the moral cargo led to the fact that he pleaded guilty. " To this, the lawyer of the victims Ilnur Sharapov, raising his voice, reminded the jury that the mental suffering of the defendants began only after the detention, and not during his life underground.
The defense arguments for several hours on February 18 and 20, the defense proved that the defendants were only puppets in the hands of the leaders of the organization: “Isaev is an ordinary, ordinary member of Bourn, he deserves condescension because he understood what he did. He was not even close to the leadership of the gang, but the organizers of such indulgence do not deserve. ” Isaev killed the taxi driver Soso Khachikyana, the champion of Thai boxing Muslim Abdullaev, attempted to the district Gagik Benamyan and the athlete Ramazan Nurichuev - he spoke about every episode in the trial in a weekly voice.
One of the leaders, according to the defender of Marat Stepanov, is Nikita Tikhonov. He gave comprehensive testimony during his own process in September 2014: he admitted to the attack on the anti -fascist Filatov, the creation of an extremist community, for which he received for an additional 18 years by a lifelong time. Another leader, who allegedly unconditionally obeyed the accused, the lawyers of the defendants call the ex-lawyer of the FSB Alexei Korshunov. It is known that in his youth he was an active fan of the Spartak football club. According to the investigation, after leaving the FSB, he joined Born and hid in the forest in the Tver region, where he slept with a machine gun in an embrace. The case file does not contain any information about which Korshunov served in the FSB management and why he left the special services.
It was Korshunov, according to the defendants, who taught them to shoot, competently depart from crime sites and change his appearance. Having killed the Judge Chuvashov, the ensign, apparently realizing that the hunt for the gang would now begin, preferred to hide in Ukraine, in Zaporozhye. He spent his free time at the stadium, where he died during the jogging - he detonated the grenade, which he always carried with him in case of sudden arrest. Now the lawyers of the defendants call Korshunov the instigator of all crimes.
Over the fault, the dead lawyers have long and carefully described the acts of the anti -fascists who died at the hands of Bourn militants to prove the jury that the killers did not have ideological motifs, and thereby soften the verdict. “The victims are everywhere called anti -fascists, but Antifa are representatives of street groups. Did they fight Hitler, fought with Mussolini? No, they fought on the streets. And remember the phrase of Churchill that the fascists of the future will call themselves anti -fascists, ”said the lawyer Zatsepin, apparently not knowing that the author of the popular phrase is actually a senator from Louisian Hughi Pierce Long.
“Khutorskaya (one of the victims of neo -Nazis. - NT ) clearly did not get along with the law, which caused the end of his short life,” Baklagin lawyer Sergei Subbotin told the jury. -His sister confirms that they attacked Khutorsky: he received a traumatic brain injury, an open fracture. All of the above confirms the version of the defense - this was revenge for his illegal actions. There is no motive for ideological hatred. ” The lawyer Tikhomirova Igor Popovsky also calls what happened revenge, and Stepanov develops the thought of his colleague: “Motive here is revenge for the high position of the farm in an anti -fascist organization, this is precisely revenge, and not ideological hatred. Can we equalize the role of Isaev with this person? This is unfair! " The defendant Isaev, according to the investigation, monitored the movements of the judge of Chuvashov and the anti -fascist Ivan Khutorsky in order to then transfer the information to the direct killer - Korshunov.
In the same way, lawyers justify the “liquidation” of taxi driver Khachikyan. According to Isaev’s defense, it was revenge for a young woman beaten by Khachikyan - the news about this appeared on Lifenews, the report said that the girl had a miscarriage. In court, the victim confirmed the fact of the attack, but noted that there was no pregnancy at that moment.
The arguments of the accused during the debate of the parties, which was at the orange sweater, Blaclagin, who was at the orange sweater in a broken voice, said that the “tremendous substitution of concepts” is happening-the anti-fascists are called anarchists who demand the return of Crimea to Ukraine (it probably meant their participation in the “Marsh of the World”). According to him, he asked to fight in the penal battalion of the self -proclaimed DPR, but "they refused at the FSB." Baklagin did not even hide his sympathy for the Donetsk separatists. During the interrogation at the end of December, he said: “Our guys are fighting against the Nazis from Lviv, and now they call us the Nazis,” which caused laughter among the jury. But Mikhail Volkov at each meeting came in a fitted jacket and ironed shirt-as someone noticed, "mowed under a lawyer." And his arguments were purely legal: the investigation is building a considerable part of his evidence on the confession of the defendants - he said in the debate that, according to Volkov, it gives a reason to doubt the charges. The wolves admitted the guilt of the committed murders reasoned extremely abstractly and Putano, so the judge Alexander Kozlov had to interrupt him more than once so that he spoke specifically about the accusations. Substituting and lowering his voice, Volkov claimed that Baklagin and Isaev sent themselves when they told all the details of their activities in the first days of detention at the State Duma. Later, Baklagin, judging by the letters from the pre -trial detention center, tried to open his veins, and Yuri Tikhomirov directly spoke about the torture of the current.
What remained behind the scenes the trial of the militants of Born did not answer a number of important questions. Who patronized the Nazi gang? Who provided photos and addresses of victims? Who financed the purchase of weapons and life underground? What role did the presidential administration play in everything?
Tikhonov and Hasis, who acted as witnesses at this process, said that the curator of the leader of the “Russian image” Ilya Goryachev, who allegedly provided the defendants with information about the victims, was the coordinator of the Local project Leonid Simunin, according to them, who worked in the presidential administration (see “Plan for the Murders”, NT No. 40 of December 1, 2014). Hasis then made a reservation: “From the money heading for youth policy, something Simunin allocated to Goryachev for a nationalist organization. There were commodity-money relations with the presidential administration / ... / A Simunin, who was a representative of Surkov, said phrases like “I consulted with the leadership” or “the leadership did not recommend”.
In a conversation with NT, Simunin claimed that he was engaged exclusively with the advertising business with Goryachev: “I don’t know I don’t know about the murderer of the murders, I don’t know. I am poorly versed in people ”(see “ The killers of our time ” , NT No. 14-15 of April 28, 2014). Simunin was not called as a witness to the process, does not appear in the case file and the mention of the AP or other state bodies. In the coming months, the trial of Goryachev should begin, and maybe then one secret will become less.
