Anton Nosik asked the court to either justify him or to sentenced him to a real time
The blogger Anton Nosik, who threatens two years in prison for extremism, in his last word, remembered the trial of Stalin's times, criticized the prosecution and thanked the court "for a long time spent on this simple case." The New Times publishes the main theses from the speech of the nose
“On one case from Soviet history”: “The arrest of economist Nikolai Ivanov happened in those days when the Molotov -Ribbentrop Pact still acted, according to which the parties pledged to stop hostile propaganda in relation to each other. In order to prove to Hitler that obligations are respected, Stalin ordered to ensure arrests and landing for “anti -German propaganda” in the USSR. But the Soviet diplomat Nikolai Ivanov, the verdict of a special meeting - five years of camps - received in September 1941. He was able to return to Moscow only 13 years after the sentence. It is difficult not to recall this story in connection with my current business. ”
About the prosecution: “And at the same time, as Russian troops are actively participating in the assault on Aleppo, in the capital of Russia I am judged for supporting the actions of these same troops. In my criminal case, you can read the conclusion of a certain expert on the protection of the Constitutional system of the FSB that the bombing of Syria, which I supported more than a year ago, are a crime of extremist and terrorist orientation. ”
“The accusation in my case did not make the slightest attempt to prove that I had a criminal intent, as the first lines of the indictment said. How do they know about this intent? "
On the coverage of the case in the state media: “If you look at the plots that have been published on the Federal TV channels Russia-24 and“ Russia-1 ”over the past couple of weeks, then the viewers have already managed to report on September 20 and 27, that the issue of my guilt has already been resolved. And they even told how exactly he was decided. ”
The prosecution did not consider it necessary to prove the subjective side of the prosecution: “The subjective side of the crime was at all. Neither in this hall, nor at the stage of the preliminary investigation, such a question was not raised at all. ”
“In article 14 of the current Criminal Code of the Russian Federation it is said that for the qualification of any action as a criminal offense it is necessary for it to bore the character of a socially dangerous act. What is the public danger of post in my LiveJournal or my conversation with colleagues on the air of "Echo of Moscow"? On 420 sheets of my criminal case, I did not find an answer to this question or the question itself. During the judicial investigation and debate, the prosecution also passed his silence. ”
About punishment: “I ask you to take the question of the measure of punishment with all seriousness. If you think that I have not earned the stigma of the criminal for the sixth years of my life, labor, and social activities, then just justify me. And if you think that you have earned, do not follow Vova Solovyov and his guests who demanded some symbolic half-measures, we are adults and serious people, we are not afraid of either the authorities, nor each other, or the Moscow City Court. ”
