The work of life and death

Nadezhda Savchenko, located on the deadline of the hunger strike, was again left in the pre -trial detention center. In recent days, her condition is rapidly deteriorating. Meanwhile, the Investigative Committee is firmly intended to bring the case to court. These are three thousand volumes, one hundred thousand “witnesses” and “victims”. Such a colossus has not yet been in the history of Russian justice, says lawyer Ilya Novikov .

Why did the "business of Savchenko" turned out so voluminous?

Ilya Novikov: People have the impression that there is a kind of "case of hope of Savchenko" - so, it does not exist. There is great production No. 201/ 837072-14, which is maintained by the Investigative Committee of Russia. This production, like a vacuum cleaner, sucks all the things that excites the TFR on the fact of what is happening in the east of Ukraine. For example, the January shelling of Donetsk, Gorlovka and other cities are processively attached to the very business. And the story of Savchenko is just one of the episodes.

In the presentation of the case by Judge Karpov, four out of 8.5 pages are transferred to the episodes of the case, of which Savchenko relate to one and a half episode. Separately added an episode about crossing the border.

We are not worried about SK think that 17 thousand people could see Savchenko when she allegedly led the shelling. This is not about that. The technology of the investigation of this story is such that they already now have two dump trucks, of which even one percent does not apply to Savchenko. No prospects are visible that the Savchenko case will be allocated.

We correctly understand that the investigative actions will not end until the war ends?

I.N.: Yes. They will extend. There are restrictions on the person’s stay in custody until they are exhausted. Just Savchenko has every chance to die in the coming weeks. Therefore, we are very easily predicting the situation. If suddenly the measure of restraint is changed now ... If they are not changed, then everything is very simple there: it dies, and then all this goes into history textbooks. No one will be interested in anyone what the UK will tell about this whole story.

If the preventive measure is changed to her, she stops the hunger strike. The very thing will not be stopped. And Markin, Speaker SK, already clearly told us that the case would definitely reach the court, there would be a “fair punishment” ... He created this situation because he reported on July 9 that they caught the guilty of the murders of Russian journalists. Everything, they cannot play back. They are afraid to lose face. Since Markin called someone guilty, then the whole mass would rush at the embrasure, covering this hasty rhetoric.

If it comes to court, for a start, we are offered to familiarize themselves with three thousand volumes of the case, starting from the second week they say that protection is delaying the term of familiarization. As soon as the case goes to court, they will tell us: do not rush the court, give the court time. We simply do not believe that the Savchenko case will become a “business of Savchenko”: so far it is just a garbage dump with an incredible set of stereotypical interrogation protocols. There are 90 thousand interrogations. It is clear that there are few normal interrogations there, mainly such stereotypical profiles, which the refugees were offered to fill out when crossing the border.

But we must also understand that 17 thousand victims have procedural rights in this case. Each of them will have the right to get acquainted with the materials of the case, attend meetings, submit petitions, objections, ask questions. The current situation suggests that this case is even a Russian court with its very dubious tendency to delve into the creature of the case before consideration may not. As the star turns into a black hole: it sucks, sucks matter, then - clap, it has an event horizon, and nothing will come out of it. This business has already passed its horizon of events.

The so -called official human rights activists came to Savchenko and hinted to her that it was better to "not make noise." Maybe they said about it that she needed to sit for a year and a half, and then leave?

I.N.: Hope does not suit this. She is ready to die in the coming week. She will not sit for a year and a half.

Is she ready to abandon the hunger strike in case of house arrest, if she stated that she was starving before returning to Ukraine?

I.N.: Yes. We discussed this compromise.

Is she really refusing glucose now?

I.N.: Yes.

If the authorities still want to go to the end, will it be something like the Nuremberg process for a decade?

I.N.: I can’t imagine how it could be. The people who all planned this specifically Bastrykin should ideally explain to us how they imagine production on this matter. They created a hypercoloss, which has never been in the history of Russian justice.

But the court cannot refuse if he is brought by two KamAZ materials?

I.N.: It cannot. And if the judge suddenly gets ill or dies, it all starts first. But you know, I’m just not sure that - I will not talk about the political regime - people who make a decision on this case will be the same in 10 years. And the successor of one or another person who is responsible for any component of this story can say: well, throw it all into the trash. Perhaps someone will have time to condemn, but most likely this story will end deafly: there will be no trial with 90 thousand witnesses.
