The IK-4 administration of the general regime in the village of Burepol, the Tonseevsky district of the Nizhny Novgorod region, illegally sent the politics of Alexander Belov (Potkin), convicted of a period of three and a half years in the case of extremism, five days in a schizo. On Friday, at the FB page "Alexander Belov. Official," said the brother of the politician - the leader of the Nation and Freedom Committee Vladimir Basmanov (Potkin).
Politsyk did not commit any violations, Basmanov emphasized. "In informal conversations, the colony officers directly say that the reasons for purely political - they do this by direct instructions from Moscow so that Belov does not be released on parole," he wrote.
On May 29, it was reported that Potkin was delivered from the pre-trial detention center-1 of the Central Galovka FSIN (Moscow) to IK-5 in Nizhny Novgorod . However, as it turned out later, there the Politzeck was placed not in the detachment, but in the PFRSI (a room functioning in the mode of the investigative insulator) for further sending by the stage.
On July 2, it became known that already some time before Potkin, after several weeks, in the regional center was brought in Burepol and immediately upon arrival there without any reason was sent to the PKT (a chamber -type premises - the internal prison of the colony). Thus, the Politzek was in full isolation.
In protest, Potkin announced a dry hunger strike, and after some time the protest brought the result - the political prisoner was transferred to quarantine, where all the newly arrived prisoners are placed, and after the expiration of the term in quarantine - to the general detachment. Having achieved the release from PKT, Potkin took off the hunger strike.
In 2007-2011, publicist Boris Stomakhin was serving the first term in the Burepomo IK-4. Then this zone was considered black, that is, controlled by criminal authorities, and not the FSINESS.
Potkin - the co -chairman of the then not prohibited ethnopolitical association "Russians" - was detained on October 15, 2014. Initially, he was charged with points "A", "B" of part 4 of Article 174 of the Criminal Code (laundering of money as part of an organized group on an especially large amount). On October 17, politics was sent under house arrest, but on the 23rd, the preventive measure was changed to a pre-trial detention center.
Subsequently, accusations on paragraph "in" Part 2 of Article 282 (the excitement of national hatred or enmity as part of an organized group), part 1 of Article 282.1 (creation of an extremist community) and part 2 of Article 280 of the Criminal Code (public calls for extremism via the Internet) were added.
It was claimed that the politician organized a community, which set the task of overthrowing the Nursultan Nazarbayev regime in Kazakhstan. This structure was declared in the case, included citizens of both Kazakhstan and Russia. To get funds for the activities of the community, Potkin allegedly participated in laundering $ 5 billion stolen by BTA-Bank depositors by its former owner Mukhtar Ablyazov.
According to the 282nd article, the publication of two texts was qualified. The first is the “Project of the Evil Kazakh” on the allegedly passing in Kyrgyzstan by order of Ablyazov preparations for the “color revolution” in Kazakhstan. The second is “an estimated plan for the preparation of the action on December 16.” Meanwhile, the investigation did not provide evidence that these texts were written and distributed.
The 280th article Potkin was charged with the latter. The accusation is based on the episode of the documentary film "Term" on the activities of the non -systemic opposition.
Potkin himself completely rejected the guilt. The politician stated that he was arrested after he refused to participate in the action against Igor Kolomoisky - the Ukrainian oligarch and the then governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region. “It was about organizing the liquidation, murder or lobbying of arrest in France Igor Kolomoisky,” Potkin said. “Apparently, realizing that I would not participate in such projects, they decided to sacrifice me to Nazarbayev.”
On August 24, 2016, the judge of the Meshchansky District Court Albert Trishkin sentenced Potkin to seven and a half years of general regime ( 
However, on April 14, 2017, the Moscow City Court, having examined the Politsek’s appeal, excluded the 174th article from the prosecution and reduced the appointed term more than doubled . Accordingly, the 600,000th penalty and the decision to satisfy the claim of the BTA Bank were also canceled. Thus, Potkin was declared guilty only in extremism.
Materials under the article on laundering money, the appeal instance returned to the prosecutor, pointing out violations. Whether these materials will be transferred to the court after eliminating violations, it is not clear.
In December 2016, it became known that the ECHR ordered Russia to pay Potkin 2.5 thousand euros of compensation for unreasonably long maintenance in jail before the sentence. Russia recognized the violation, however, the Politsyk refused the proposed settlement agreement, after which the Strasbourg court issued a one -way declaration in its favor.
