Platoon

Disagted civilian citizens, when they are caught, judged and condemned, still live a little easier. Here is the area where well -known events unfold on the air. Here is the unfinished site, or even the TV channel, where almost in real time they report the arrest of the next political prisoner. Here is a courtroom, where, with a large gathering of video cameras, they discuss a chopped tooth enamel, where the fifth riot police refuses to recognize himself as a victim, where doomed people prove their innocence, where they are sentenced. Gades triumphs everywhere, as sang in one old song.

Disagted soldiers are much harder.

A year has passed since the fighters of the Maykop intelligence brigade committed a number of unheard of crimes . Under a far -fetched pretext (there was neither food nor drinking, they dug pits and buried, collected "bulls", slept on the ground, dog cold) They left the training ground in the Rostov region. They refused to defend Novorossia in the Donbass, although the commanders' fathers worthy of all confidence "without insignia, but with epaulettes from major and above, they promised them 8 thousand rubles a day and veteran status. In general, they bought with the command, ignoring threats and not wanting to recruit. Then they began to be judged in the Maykop garrison court and some were already punished, but no one knew about this except the closest relatives.

Now, after the sensational publication , it turned out that there are “dozens of” of this kind of “criminal cases” in production. The parents spoke, and with their help - a certain lieutenant colonel, presumably Sergey Kens, who branded the fugitives with a shame and glorified the "peasants" in the Donbass, where, as you can understand, he stayed for three months. The lawyer took the word. Tatyana Chernetskaya, representing the interests of five contractors, said that everyone was judged by the same articles - for "desertion" and "unauthorized abandonment of the part." Moreover, the under investigation is in a long line for reprisal, since investigators do not have time to interrogate and blame these crowds of rebellious military personnel. There are not enough folders, hole stories, grinders, white threads.

The scandal erupted.

The main problem here is that the army is a separate, sovereign state within Russia, with its internal charters, prosecutors and courts, about which society is much worse than about the courts of general jurisdiction. This is a territory fenced from prying eyes, and so it was always. The zone where our fellow citizens are serving the deadlines, who are perfectly informed about their duties, and very scarce - about rights.

“Having familiarized himself with the resolution (on the measure of suppression. - I.M.),” writes, turning to the court, Sergeant Pavel Tynchenko, “came to the conclusion that the decision did not reflect my testimonies regarding the“ non -fulfillment of the order. ”I did not follow a criminal order, because I did not want to go against the oath that I took and did not want to participate in the hostilities in Ukraine.” The complaint was dated July 8, 2015, and here the lawyer’s hand is felt, and the misadventures of the sergeant, the whole story with blankets in the clean field, “obsessive offers to serve in the LPR-DNR volunteers,” began in September last year. In the army, people who know how to fend for themselves in battle serve, but they learn about such a legal concept as a “criminal order”.

However, sometimes they still find out, and then the era of publicity sets in a single Maykop garrison court. More precisely, two phenomena are stitched, caring for sparks: Russia's unspoken war with Ukraine and this publicity, which directly produces a splash. After all, in the whole world, no one doubts that federal troops are fighting in a neighboring country, and captured scouts have been shown to us more than once in various documentary videos. It was assumed that scouts are caught only in captivity. It turned out that many soldiers of this volunteer army with hands and feet are successfully fighting off the honorary service and become defendants in criminal cases, and the courts are already taking up a massive nature.

The guys are infinitely sorry. Enchanted for the execution of criminal orders, they are declared criminals and are almost completely defenseless in the face of the state who tried to send them to slaughter. This is some kind of vicious circle: the power that traces international laws wants to support the gangster enclaves created by it in the Donbass, and people in military uniforms rush between them, who did not go into the army to fight for the border for the criminals. And almost a calendar year should pass so that the fate of Anatoly Kudrin, Ivan Shevkunov, Pavel Tynchenko, Alexander Enenko and others recognize both the rest of the world. Actually, all hope for publicity. Now, when the refuseniks were spoke aloud and very loudly, to transplant them quietly, intimidating other potential fighters for the happiness of the "Russian world", it will be more difficult.

It also encourages and comforts if these words are appropriate here, what is the circumstance. Thinking about how the life of contractors from the 33rd separate motorized rifle (Maykop reconnaissance) brigade develops, one cannot but recall their comrades in arms . About the Pskov paratroopers and about special forces from the Tambov 16th separate brigade of GRU. These secretly are recruited, secretly judged, secretly condemned, and they secretly exported and buried, beating and hesitation of journalists who unveiled their names.

There is still a difference between a secret jurisdiction and a secret inglorious death in this state. The fundamental difference, and the more acute society, including the army, will feel this discretion of fate, the more chances that the war will end. In essence, the unimaginable war, in which the Russian -speaking recruits Russian -speaking, drive to the front, kill, judge, plant. And the Russian -speaking from them fight off, but the forces are still unequal.
