Report from the trial of the defendants in the case of the "Seventh Studio" Kirill Serebrennikov

The fact that the “theatrical work” has already gained firmly gained the offensive definition of was unfolding this time in the Moscow City Court. At the appointed time near the doors of the hall, 425 arose and began to languish, immediately glazed with eyes, two bailiffs. But time passed and passed, some of those present with their gadgets began to settle on the floor. The bailiffs instantly came to life: “Do not sit! You will sit down soon! "

And now, not at 10.45, as was appointed, but far in noon, the secretary of the court appeared with the question:

- Who is here in the three?

Lawyers rushed to her.

- So: one investigator and four lawyers? Come in!

Prosecutor-stylist

The hall is filled. In the Aquarium - the chief accountant of the Seventh Studio Nina Maslyaeva. On the first bench - CEO of Yuri Itin. Director and producer Alexei Malobrodsky - on the screens. The meeting begins with a petition of protection: the lawyer of Lesser Ksenia Ksenia Karpinskaya passes to the judge a multi -page decryption of the audio recording of the past, Basmann, a hearing. It must be attached to the case file.

According to the defense, she clearly demonstrates: in the final protocol of the hearing, the prosecutor Malofeev after the process made editing; As a result, the paper version and judicial reality are very different from each other. Actually, this is an occasion for the cassation appeal and the cause of the current meeting: the legality of the extension of the term of detention and house arrest is considered. The Basmanny Court appointed a new border - until October 19. Lawyers are going to challenge this. But what looks simple and logical for the hall and protection is not such for the investigator and the prosecutor (the degree of illegibility of her speech is painful). Only the judge hears her. But he hears well. Judge Svetlana Alexandrova (short haircut, deceptively meek view):

- Refuse to familiarize! The procedure for providing an audio recording decoding is not observed.

Now the turn of Yuri Lysenko. Itina’s lawyer asks to introduce medical documents to the case - an extract from the ambulance card and medical diagnoses regarding the father of the accused. Disabled person of the group II, he came from afar to see his son. Dates are not given.

But they are introduced. As well as a letter in defense of Malobrodsky to the presidential administration, signed by Vladimir Urin, Maria Revyakina and other directors. Just as a letter of cultural figures (from Chulpan Khamatova to Yuri Norshtein, from Sokurov to Pozner). All these are petitions for the measure of suppression, not related to imprisonment.

Everyone is introduced.

The word accusation.

Here the most interesting begins. Investigator Vasiliev presents documents with which the defense is not familiar - the protocols of the interrogation of Maslyaev, Marina Igorevna and Olga Igorevna, two daughters of the accused, the protocol of the interrogation of accountant worker Tatyana Zhirikova, his own testimony of the chapter.

The defense is given twenty minutes. Break.

The accused

Alexey Malobrodsky, in conclusion, is said to recall the stubborn experience of the Kotovsky commander and took up physical exertion and reading. It looks cheerful, even confident. He, the only one, is heard in the whole process from the first to the last word. The broadcast and the habit helps publicly formulate. And although the backdrop of his performances passes a sharp, as if shaped clang and a rattle of pre -trial detention center, the clarity and logic of reactions are obvious.

Nina Maslyaeva gives the impression of a person in the fifth realization. She, and this can be seen with a simple eye, feels bad and looks bad. The only thing she wanted to tell the court and repeated twice: she could no longer participate in meetings! He asks to be released, give the opportunity to conference. Almost all the time of the meeting, he is heavily, as if in oblivion. Even the most intense moments of the process (reading her own testimonies, forcing to recall the “queen of evidence”) do not force her to concentrate.

Yuri Itina, who has lost weight and haggard, in a strict costume, is accompanied by an employee of the FSIN, on the long face of which a muffled-spring grin froze. He calls the ward “Konstantinich”, but if I, in passing, I sympathetically touch the elbow of the director of the Yaroslavl Volkovsky Theater, the fsinovets explodes:

- What are you?! Go away!

Wife and daughter Itina are most concerned about the fact that he needs a cardiologist and medicine. Walks are prohibited. Pre -trial punishment for him is not only house arrest, but also complete isolation:

An ambulance calls him a lawyer, he himself has no rights to this. And the wife asks:

- And if he does not have time to call the lawyer? If you just fall?

Dispute of the sides

... After the break, lawyers are trying to explain: Less Brill takes part in the process from the investigative insulator, that is, has no access to new documents: his right to defense is violated. He must be able to read time. They ask to postpone the meeting for tomorrow.

Judge:

- Do you object to familiarization?

Carpinskaya lawyer:

- Yes, we object to introduce until Malobrodsky gets acquainted with them!

The judge asks the accused.

Malobrodsky brief:

- Your honor, I am embarrassed by the practice of introducing new materials that the investigation makes and provides, I am against these manipulations of the investigation!

Maslyaeva (hardly gets up in his Aquarium):

- I have no way to participate in my physical condition tomorrow, I ask for a conference, video broadcast.

Investigator Bodr:

- But Malobrodsky has already met part of these documents, there is no difficulty in familiarizing him now!

And summarizes:

- At your discretion, your honor!

Another break is announced. Passing by the prosecutor, I ask:

- Excuse me, why are you talking so slurred?

“I say clearly ...” the prosecutor answers me bewildered.

- You say that you violate my professional right to objective information ...

“I will be louder,” the young beauty with super -proper makeup promises unexpectedly.

However, the main lesson of slurred is still ahead. The court refuses to transfer the meeting. It was decided to announce and investigate the documents in court. And approximately forty -core torture occurs absolutely indistinguishable, illegible speech. Judge Aleksandrova reads the documents subject to “research” so quietly that it becomes for everyone who wants to understand what is happening. The extreme hearing tension manages to understand: the daughters of Nina Maslyaeva talk in detail about some men who were waiting for them at the car, in the entrances, at the bus stops, about strange telephone calls, persecution - persecution -

And suddenly a wild assumption arises: he organized surveillance of them ... Cyril Serebrennikov.

Subsequent phrases come up in the next inarticulate stream of inarticulate (the protocol of interrogation of the accountant of Tatyana Zhirikova) pops up: “Cashing of funds”, “Maslyaeva controlled the whole stream” (the one is talking about, at that time is asleep), “since it has great connections in the Ministry of Culture”.

Next, the protocol of the in-line rate of Less Brodsky with a certain Sinelnikov in the SIZO-1 is read. As far as one can understand, Sinelnikov describes the mechanisms of cashing money: “Maslyaeva called-non-cash transfers, accounts-cards of Alfa-Bank and Sberbank” ...

Malobrodsky at a full -time bet was in handcuffs, in the presence of a convoy. He stated: the prosecution is based on speculation and inaccurate information. He did not fully find himself guilty (“I don’t understand what acts are charged to me, I did not appropriate money and material values!”).

The judge finished torturing the hall by reading documents and calmly returns to the beginning:

- Malobrodsky, did you receive the trial protocol?

- Yes, but I received the protocol of the Basmanny Court 20 days after its completion.

Judge:

- Are you ready to participate in the hearing?

- Why did you have doubts, your honor?

Malobrodsky reacts to new documents with the exceptional presence of the spirit:

- Your honor, the quality of the broadcast is so imperfect that, despite your impeccable diction, I must say: a huge part of the read -read documents refers to a period of time when I did not work in the Seventh Studio. Please postpone the court session until tomorrow! I am convinced that the final protocol is falsified.

Judge:

- That is, you will have comments on the protocol?

- Undoubtedly!

They go to the prefinal code. Lawyers declare to the court about violations of the law that took place from the first day: “... what happened in the Basmanny court - we are watching this for our practice for the first time!” Maslyaeva again asks to free her from participation in the meeting. The investigator pulls his perspective:

- Malobrodsky could realize his right to defense even earlier.

But the prosecutor does not agree with him unexpectedly (and clearly!): “To remove from consideration!”

The meeting will continue on Friday, August 11.

- You have the last day of the comment tomorrow! - The judge reminds the screen.

On the sidelines

... I went to him because I caught a strange remark thrown into the air:

- I worked for two months, now let the others get a lot!

It was removed from the process a day ago. Yuri Zaitsev, now the former lawyer Nina Maslyaeva, explains to me:

- This is a banal criminal case of theft. I have no right to comment, but politics has nothing to do with it.

I ask why he is no longer a defender.

- Maslyaeva refused me! She abandoned the lawyer by agreement. She now has a state lawyer.

- For what reason?

- Because she has no money! Yes, yes, believe me. I have no right to comment, but this is so. And besides, the investigation needs a lawyer with whom you can cooperate, and this is not me!

- If you are no longer in the process, why did you come today?

- To look into her eyes!

He is obviously offended and hurt. Perhaps that is why it allows yourself a sweet opportunity to dash:

-There will be many more processes! And this will soon forget about this, this is so, the first swallow ...

I am carefully interested in how, in professional ethics, a priori confidence in the guilt of the client and willingness to protect it?

- No problem! Like a patanatom!

In a motley crowd of spectators, experts and sympathetic, amazing formulas are worn, generated by the bizarre life of this case: “Seventh Studio” was created with a criminal intent ”...“ Cashed out - they have not yet been stolen! ” And the most fascinating: “Thefts are established in favor of unidentified persons” ...

“Now you know everything that we know, while under the subscription,” the lawyer Ksenia Karpinskaya is tiredly against the wall. - The court disclosed everything today, even what we did not assume ...

Yes, we now know about the testimonies of Maslyaeva’s daughters, which arose, as from the air, about the confrontation between Malobrodsky and Sinelnikov, about the evidence of Zhirikova, about the version of the chief accountant, in which she is the injured party.

Money is the core of the entire plot, and what happens to them in this case demonstrates the circus class of juggling: on the SKR website there is a figure of 200 million.

“But in the decision to initiate a criminal case, which was announced the last time,” Carpinskaya lawyer sums up, “70 million.” Now in the decision to attract as the accused it is said: 68 million were stolen. Before that, 2 million 300 were stolen. Even before that, Maslyaev with Itin stole 1 million 200 thousand rubles. Of all this number of indictment, even to me, having extensive experience, is little clear. Imagine how incomprehensibly Malobrodsky! There is no answer to his direct question, of what you blame me specifically. The targeted intelligible charge is not formulated to him.

- What does all this mean?

- When there is nothing to present and have not yet come up with what to present, it turns out what you see ...
