Written -off verdict

The case of Kirovles 2.0 ended without surprises: guilty. How the last day of the process in the Lenin Court of Kirov was in the report of The New Times

“You will receive a copy of the sentence from the secretary,” the judge Vthurin shifts the last sheet from the red folder to the table and leaves.

"What, again a break?" - asks a voice behind me. "What are you, already pronounced the verdict!" - They answer him. "Already? It was so badly audible that I did not understand, ”the voice justifies.

Judge Vthurin really read the verdict so quietly and slurred that people in the last rows could not hear exactly what words he pronounces. However, it became quite quickly clear that this was not necessary: ​​the verdict of Vthirin’s judge in the Kirovles case almost literally repeats the verdict issued in the same hall in the same case of Kirvoles by Judge Plinov. The side of the defense could not come up with the best gift: the process that repeated all the ECHR's errors of the previous one ended with a sentence written off from the sentence canceled by the Supreme Court.

Plagiarism

From the first words of the sentence, it became clear that he was an accusatory. “The court found that Navalny and the officers were wasted ...” The convictions began, the familiar retired judge, who called the news from the announcement, explained to the NT correspondent. “Now, if it began“ the investigating authorities are accused ... ”This would be a signal to what they will justify.”

“Fulfilling the instructions of Navalny ... fully realized the public danger ... acting at the price, underestimated in comparison with the one that the KOGUP Kirovles could receive ... intentionally and consistently ...” - Vtyurin reads illegibly and quietly, and reading, with a pencil on the lines of the text from top to bottom, as the diligent students often make. On the contrary, the lawyer Svetlana Davydova leads his pen on another document-the verdict of 2013-and periodically shows something standing on different sides of her to Navalny and Officer, and all three smile significantly. At some point, Peter Officers writes on Facebook: "So far, the verdict is word for word like Blinov, that is, 100% coincidence." Soon this becomes known to everyone present in the hall. “Whoever wants to know what will happen next, - read, here is the verdict, here is word for word,” Navalny announces a break that was unexpectedly declared by the judge Vtyurin. Journalists surround the protection table on which the text of the Blinov’s sentence with the notes of Davydova lies. “Everything is the same, including the order of witnesses, although this time they acted in a different order,” the lawyers say. “Including commas and grammatical errors,” adds Navalny. "How can you determine that grammatical errors are repeated there?" - the journalists specify. “This can be seen by the names of the companies ( with which the company of Officer VLK entered into agreements on the supply of forest. - NT). The names of these companies are mistakes, and Vthurin repeats them, ”the lawyers explain.

“Everything is the same, including the order of witnesses, although this time they acted in a different order,” the lawyers say. "Including commas and grammatical errors"

For what?

"Why are they doing this?" - One of the correspondents is asking a question that concerns many: really, why is it so to be substituted? After all, it is possible not so clumsy ... “To show that they do not give a damn about the ECHR,” the defendants predict.

The coincidence of the texts of sentences becomes the reason for jokes on the network. Here are some of them: “But you can’t get up and say:“ We have already heard all this, this is what has already canceled both the ECHR and the Supreme Court. Let's immediately be interesting that we are like children. ” “Enough to scold the judge that he reads badly. You already know this sentence by heart, but he sees it for the first time! ” “But it’s convenient: the verdict of Blinov can be copied into Voterin’s sentence, also literally.”

"Will you appeal?" - This is the most common question that sounds from the very beginning of today's announcement. “Wait, suddenly there is a surprise at the end? Suddenly there will be "justify"? " - Alexey joked during the break. “Yes, of course, we will appeal to all the courts,” he announced at the end.

The fact that this time the verdict will be conditional, and not real, many those present began to understand too pretty soon after the start of the announcement. “In 2013, there was a car zak and a convoy from the police, now they are not,” one of the listeners who visited both processes shared his observations correspondent with his observations. “Although it would seem: no one except the judge can know in advance until he is proclaimed.”

Nevertheless, until the end of the announcement, some nervousness remained. Both defendants came with collected bags. “There is nothing more stupid than hoping for rang and find yourself in a pre -trial detention center without things. Then you will be a transfer with sports pants and socks for a month to scratch out of the administration? - explained Navalny on his blog. “So Julia gathered me a bag (or rather rebuilt, replacing expired products in an always assembled bag).” Peter Officers came to the verdict with his wife and eldest daughter, 19-year-old Alena. Three and a half years ago, she, being a minor schoolgirl, went out to the personnel, learning that her father was taken into custody. In organized by the judge, Vtyurin breaks (two to fifteen minutes during the sentence of the sentence), parents joke that they should send her for coffee. Lida Officera admits: she was nervous when she saw several police cars near the court.

Vtyurin’s verdict repeats Blinov’s sentence in everything except the ending: five years conditionally Navalny, four years conditionally officer. The trial period is one and a half years, that is, the trial period is estimated by the first sentence. This was one of the most controversial points for lawyers: whether the trial period will go from the beginning, or Vtyurin will count “served”. I counted.

What's next

The lawyers of the defendants tell the press about the immediate actions: of course, they will appeal the verdict in the higher authority, but at the same time they will inform the ECHR, and the Committee of Ministers, designed to track the implementation of the ECHR, about what is happening.

“We will conduct the campaign, despite what is happening in this court,” says Navalny, promising to continue to fight to “make Russia normal free and not corrupt.” The chief of his headquarters Leonid Volkov (he came to the announcement from Moscow) explains to the present foreign journalists that, under the Russian Constitution, which is a direct law, has no right to participate in the elections only a person who is in places of imprisonment. Since Alexei Navalny is free - he can participate. “In the courtroom, I explain to foreign journalists that, yes, our election law directly contradicts the constitution. Sigh and do not understand, ”he writes on Twitter.

Everyone is in a hurry to the plane - you can still have time for an evening flight. Ahead, obviously, there are many more episodes of the play “Kirovles”.
